This scene is meant to be a very sensual and a very powerful image between two women [whether or not there as to be a relationship]. And we hadn’t, at this point, decided how far the relationship would go. But we wanted this to be a moment that was very physical and very empowering and very beautiful between them. And it set off some fireworks. It also moved the drink machine. It’s a very empowering statement about love, how two people together can accomplish more than when they’re alone, a great deal more. Looking back now, knowing everything we’ve done since seems there’s no other way we could’ve gone with it, it really is one of the most romantic images we’ve put on film.
