Watch him move through this gathering like a ghost at a banquet. Listen to his speech, at which with a grandiose gesture he tries to make things up with Laura; he is so ignorant of healthy human emotion that he has no idea he is only insulting her again, publicly.

Yeah...this was one of my favorite scenes too, especially since my wife and I are in it...we were picked because we could dance and the scene called for extensive dancing, etc...anyway, we did various dance moves with several other couples, and they filmed many takes for a period of a few hours...when we saw the completed film later all of this was cut...
Hey, that's show biz!
