while getting the frames for this post, i was struck by how effective this scene is despite being so brief.
judy insists that nick should leave, which is the safest option for both him and the whole city. she’s not a dumb bunny. she knows she’s risking death, but it’s worth it to do the right thing.
nick refuses. he can’t bring himself to abandon her, and instead trusts they’ll “think of something”, relying on blind faith.
in other words? in this moment, judy is smart enough to make the cold, logical choice. nick is the mushy idiot who trusts his heart instead of his head.
