Haven't figured it out yet

I have no idea why this scene is in the screenplay, which might be why we got it:  a challenge.  There's a power shift happening, where, basically, Thelma didn't have any, or didn't exercise any, and Louise had been making decisions, calling the shots, but then once Thelma had JD, and then committed the armed-robbery (and found she was good at it), things started to shift.  She made decisions, and acted on them.  Right before this scene, the reason Louise won't go through Texas is revealed, both as a realization to Thelma, and the FBI/cop get the file.  (It can also be thought that if she had been willing to go through Texas, they might have escaped.  So, this carried more weight for her than escaping.)  After this scene, Louise is on the phone with the detective, and Thelma reaches over and ends the call, which to me, is when the power completely shifts over.  She wouldn't have had the idea or nerve to do that before.

The scene we're working on is about beef jerky and Wild Turkey, and a reiteration of why they didn't got to the police in the first place...except, it's not about that.  Them just words.  Something else is going on, but I haven't figured that out.  Because, with the exception of Thelma saying, "Thank you," to Louise, on the surface, it's the only scene which doesn't drive the plot forward.  Also, Thelma comes across as subservient, and given what has just happened, that doesn't make sense.  And we're first up tonight.

All this, digging into human nature, trying to feel what someone else feels, or thinks, is fun.
