Juxtaposition #13

From Home Alone 2: Lost in New York:

Medium shot of two adults sitting in the front of an airport van looking out a window at a sight that clearly horrifies them
Continuation of the previous shot: a crowd of children in the middle seats of the van also look open-mouthed at the sight outside it
Continuation of the previous shot: Gerry Bamman, sitting in the back of the van, identifies himself as the person who recommended the dingy motel they're going to be staying in

UNCLE FRANK: It didn’t look this bad on our honeymoon!”

From They Live by Night:

Medium shot of Farley Granger's Bowie consoling Cathy O'Donnell's Keechie

KEECHIE: I remembered everything all different. It seemed like such a nice place.

BOWIE: We’ll manage, honey.

KEECHIE: Will we?

BOWIE: Keechie, this is our honeymoon! Don’t make any difference where we are.
