In the door pinning scene, there is a third hand flat against the door beside both of Karl's, pushing it shut while it is being pulled open: Todd's left hand!

"Whats the story" with Karl's favorite white tee-shirt? ;D

I want that shirt! Except I'm not sassy enough to pull it off (the wearing of the shirt. Let alone the shirt itself!)

I love that cute little character study early on when Todd has invited Karl to join him and his work mates for a drink , #12 at

Todd is so serious, so deep in the notion of duty that he is taken in by Karl's sly teasing. He is easily made to feel he has overlapping obligations, not only to his fiancee to leave early but to his friends such that he has to pay them a tax for leaving before buyng his round. And the men he is choosing to hang out with are old enough to call him 'son' (very kindly).
It's like the earlier scene at the canteen, when he sounds like Karl's idea of an old man (or like Karl's father) - not liking loud music, preferring quiet family life. And the porter's job he thought to apply for - the other man we see in that uniform is much older.

Come on Andrew! Sure you can!
If I get 2 of those t-shirts made: 1 for you and 1 for me, would you wear it then?
I am serious .. 8)

Dear ol' Todd - he carries the world on his little shoulders...always so concerned, careful not to hurt anyone's feelings.
With that kind of personality, it makes you realize just how much it took for him to have an affair with Karl, how desperate he must've been .. all the while tortured by guilt and the fear of being found out; and especially the fear of hurting Sarah.
You know who Todd reminds me of in some ways? Our Aaron from Latter Days .. their simple innocence just breaks my heart .. :)
