I am in love with this detail
ep 7, and if the plaque is what translation says it is
This entire scene of Pete stopping to bow is played twice in succession - once from Pete’s point of view, and one from Vegas’ point of view. It is the exact same moment. It is important to note, director has a lot of work to do and this episode is longer in length than others.. atleast this bit was not required if it didn’t mean anything.. why waste time on the exact same scene?
Pete’s point of view - Vegas is blurred in the foreground
1. Pete spots the plaque (note his eyes.. from normal look to wide eye change, i guess he read the plaque), Vegas also stops right then
2. Pete bows, Vegas is looking at him
3. Pete’s bow ends with this action. Also this entire angle is such that you as audience are observing Pete, he is the only one in your frame doing his thing. This is exactly what Vegas is also seeing, his position/blocking is same as you.
Vegas’s point of view of the exact same scene
1. Vegas walking and slightly turning to look at the statue
3. Spots Pete (and only Pete)
4. We did not see this is Pete’s POV. BUt Pete turns here to bow, and Vegas is asking about “Are you hungry”.. turns to Arm
5. Look at pete and his hands.. going over his head.. this marks the ending of his bow. Who says Vegas is not acutely aware of what Pete is doing right now, while the other two are not even remotely bothered
6. Pete turns, no one is looking at Vegas but Vegas is looking at Pete with interest
8. Arm says yes he is hungry, Pete says otherwise, After pete speaks Vegas has this smile (He knows Pete is also hungry and is smiling because he said they can eat later.. we as audience also know he is hungry because we saw him participate in pork conversation and we know he is a big eater)
Vegas turns and looks at everyone - pete, then Arm (as captured in above photo) , then Porsche.. and then turns back to Pete
Porsche and Pete looking at Arm. Amongst these three the understanding is clear that Arm is the one asking for food. But, Vegas’ observation is different. According to him the most hungry in the group is Pete
This is where Vegas again asks “Hungry” after making the comment that the table is laid out.. look at who are looking at each other
Lol, prosche turns towards Vegas and Vegas turns away.. then again he looks sideways
(by the way Porsche also starts smiling seeing food a few seconds back which Vegas doesn’t care about .. ha ha ha)
When speaking to Porsche, he is like whatever.. With Pete he makes sure to have the eye contact every time
When Vegas tells them you can eat whenever. pete is happy
And, whom are we looking at?? Porsche doesn’t wear suit
1. Vegas is amused by Pete. No love, none of that. But he is amused because Pete keeps surprising him - he gets scared of condom, but is diligent enough to follow him day and night, while other bodyguards sleep on duty Pete is very particular.. he is also good..
2. Just as Pete sees Vegas, Vegas sees in Pete what others can’t and even Pete can’t..
The only one in that group who knew that people are hungry and specifically who is most hungry is Vegas..
So, if they were to play the Masochist card later, this will prove Vegas’ observation of Pete not knowing himself because Vegas has observed him and knows him
3. “Are you hungry”.. spoiler..
Director is really playing the go to romantic line of this couple.. setting foundation.. this is conscious choice of words..this will become important.. this is our easter egg
