Billy and Layla in the Photo Booth, Explained：miss the point
Billy drags Layla into a photo booth to fake pictures for his parents, demanding she look in love. "Just look like you like me," he orders, as if that settles it. Layla's silly faces cost him $2, and his real fear surfaces: the photos must prove a life, and a love, he doesn't have.
あらすじ
Billy pulls Layla into a photo booth and tells her the pictures are for his parents. He wants them taken like a real couple who love each other and are "spanning time." Layla jokes around, wastes his $2, and has to pose again while he lectures her.

What's really going on
On the surface this is Billy being petty about a $2 strip of photos. Look closer and the booth is the only place he can imagine being loved. He coaches Layla line by line: "Look like you like me, look like we're husband and wife." When she says, "I do like you," he answers, "You know what I mean" — her real affection isn't the script he wants. His made-up phrase, "spanning time," says it plainly: he wants photographs that stretch one fake afternoon into a whole shared life. Her funny faces and his rage are the same thing in two directions. She treats the booth as a toy; he treats it as evidence he needs his parents to see, because nothing in his actual life looks like this.
Theme
LonelinessBilly stages a loving couple for his parents because he has no real one; the photo booth holds the intimacy he lacks.
LiesThe photos are manufactured to convince his parents he is loved. The whole exercise is a performance of a life that isn't his.

These photos are us in love, spanning time.Billy names what the pictures are supposed to prove: a couple in love and a shared life, even though the pose is only minutes old.
Don't do your best, do it right.He rejects the polite excuse. "My best" leaves room to fail; he wants the result, right now, with no room for error.
Look like you love me. Let's span time.The order is blunt: he doesn't need real feeling, only the appearance of it, captured before the money runs out.
You're missing the point. You just wasted $2.Billy reframes her joke as a failure to grasp what is at stake: to him the photos matter, and the wasted money proves she isn't serious.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Billy care so much about the photos?
They are meant for his parents, and they have to show a loving marriage. He has invented that life, so the photos are the only proof of it he can hand over.
Does Layla really like Billy?
She says "I do like you," and she plays along the whole time. Billy brushes it off with "You know what I mean," because real affection isn't what he is asking for.
What does "spanning time" mean?
It is Billy's own phrase, not standard English. He uses it to mean sharing time together as a couple, and he repeats it until it sounds like a vow.
Why does Layla make funny faces?
She is teasing him and treating the booth as fun. Billy can't see the joke, because for him the photos are serious business he paid for.
Why does Billy keep saying they are a couple?
He wants the pictures to look like a real marriage for his parents. Repeating it out loud is part of coaching Layla into the performance he needs.
