Absolutely. Also I just noticed how his face turns from protraying smugness to shame at 0:30 when he realizes how long he's been standing there. He's just a bully, but he thinks he's better than that, so he "snaps out of it" when he feels the camera on him and it forces him to reflect on what exactly he's still standing there for. Incredible acting. Adds depth to the character that likely wasn't in the script. I think it's more obvious when you play it from about 0:22, to get a feel of how long he stands there. It's just a moment too long, and if a camera wasn't there, as has been the case his whole life, he would have exited guilt free and without even understanding his own behaviour, because thats how he's behaved all his life. But when he sees the camera, he's smart enough to realize what a pathetic bully he is being. Like he's been walked in on masturbating.

What I like about this is that it isn't unfair to Brent- he makes the necklace innuendo but she laughs it off and it's even a bit flirty. Then starts digging himself deeper.
"Can we not talk about my dead mothers breasts ?" Got to be one of the funniest lines in comedy

It's beautiful that each person in each scene just wants to meet a partner, someone to love and who loves them. It's humanity at its core.
Just priceless lovely subtle British humour 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣

The other date scene in the pub with the woman in the schafron scarf was much funnier. This woman is so snooty and unlikeable from the off and I agree with the previous comment about her lines, feel a bit forced and unrealistic within the first minute of a date. She'd more than likely just humour him rather than shut him down like that.
