What's really going on
The comedy of the scene is the lift that won't be organised — everyone tipsy, too many opinions, no one quite in charge. But the small drama is Ken. All evening he has been the lonely one, and in the car, with Mary trapped beside him, he finally says the thing he has been holding: 'I like you, Mary. Can I phone you?' The answer is as clear as she can make it — 'I just don't have those kind of feelings for you, Ken. I'm really sorry' — and his collapse is immediate: 'Sorry, I got carried away. I didn't mean to.' Nobody is cruel here; that is what makes it hard to watch. The lift ends in goodbyes that are polite on the surface and heavy underneath, and Ken is left with 'God Almighty!' as the car pulls away.
Theme
LonelinessKen's clumsy pass comes from the loneliness he has carried all evening, and the rebuff leaves him alone again.
HeartbreakMary's kind but final refusal — she has no feelings for him — closes a door Ken had hoped was open.
