“Why was a hookers tit in my babies mouth?”
“Alright with the hooker, it’s Svetlana.”
Her smile at being treated like an actual human.
Anyway - I understand Veronicas anger but the main thing I noted from the scene was her smile.
That shot of Svetlana smiling is so important. We see her not take offense earlier when Kev admits to initially just seeing her as some handjob whore, and then we get this moment where it’s so clear that she appreciates being viewed as an actual person.
And I think that’s what Svetlana counts on— people changing their minds about her once they actually get to know her. She’s lived long enough to know that there will always be people who will judge her for how she makes her living, and make assumptions about her because of it, but at the same time she knows that it’s not personal. Being a prostitute doesn’t say anything about her. If people are going to judge her based on that alone, then there’s nothing that she can do about it.
What she can do is continue to be herself and let people come to their own conclusions from there.
