This is maybe the ONLY scene in the entire film where Travis seems like a 95% normal guy. Like, sure, he's still a little bit weird and awkward, but he plays the role of concerned older brother very convincingly. Every other interaction he's had with people throughout the film always had a hint of something darker just under the surface, but this was a surprisingly gentle and touching moment in such a tragic film.

She was a 100% Jodie Foster the minute she was born.

The way De Niro stumbles over his words, whether he's acting or just bad at remembering his lines, it comes out so authentic. And Jodie at just 12-13 carries so much charisma in this scene, I could see grown young women at the time wanting to emulate her mannerisms and personality.

I watched an interview with her on here recently. She says Deniro phoned her and asked her to go into town and hang out so they would be comfortable with each other. They did that several times and she said he was a man of few words and she'd just act like a twelve year old and mess around a bit and chat with strangers etc. Deniro later made her do the scene over and over and throw in a bit of improvisation. He was a good teacher and that all produced this great scene.

DeNiro's performance as Travis is one of the greatest on film - but it's startling how fantastic Foster is in this scene, at only 12 years old

In this scene, Iris refers to Travis as a scorpion rather than a scorpio, which is an intriguing moment. Scorpions are often associated with concepts such as rage, transformation, and protection, which parallels Travis' journey from a lonely veteran consumed by hatred to a calculated and lethal savior who eventually rescues Iris from her own confines. This reference to Travis as a scorpion also highlights his disconnection from conventional society, as he is portrayed as his own breed of person different from everyone else.

This scene is absolute perfection

There's a profound beauty in Taxi Driver, with Travis's journey as he grapples with his inner demons, specifically PTSD and disassociation. Amidst a world tainted by corruption and sin, he finds solace in helping a young girl who seems lost in this dark realm. She becomes his anchor, representing purity that he's determined to shield from the harsh realities of society's decline, both for her sake and his own. Travis is acutely aware of his own descent into hopelessness, and this awareness fuels his determination to prevent her from becoming another casualty of the grim environment they inhabit. She's the only thing that makes sense in his madness.

Amazing performance from a very young age, Jodie was amazing and so perfect for the role.Travis was a good person,a renegade with good intentions to stop that poor teenager from being exploded. It shows some humanity lighting in those dark sick souls nowadays

Saw Jodie Foster in an interview saying that before they filmed, De Niro would take her to lunch and say literally nothing until she got bored and started looking for other things to do. I think that's why she has that genuinely adorable laugh in this clip. She was totally at ease with him by the time they filmed the scene.

3:27 Travis was so real for this hahaha

Both of them ended up being double oscar winners

Two great character method driven actors we have ever seen.

Now Jodie Foster proved that she was a incredibly talented actress with only 12 YEARS OLD.

Everything about this scene is absolutely, thoroughly brilliant.
