Walter Drives Lola to Nino, Explained：take it or leave it

Lola asks Walter for a ride and uses it to confess: she is not going roller-skating with Anne, she is meeting Nino Zachetti, the boy her father disapproves of. "You won't tell on me, will you?" she asks, and Walter, amused, plays along.

あらすじ

Walter drives Lola Dietrichson homeward and she asks to be dropped at Vermont and Franklin. On the way she admits she lied to her family: she is meeting her boyfriend Nino, not a school friend. She tells Walter about Nino's bad luck and defends him, then they pull up and Nino joins them, cold toward the stranger.

「Walter Drives Lola to Nino」を読み解く

What's really going on

The ride is a small conspiracy. Lola begins with a safe story, then tests Walter with the truth: "You won't tell on me, will you?" She spends the trip making Nino's case, blaming her father and Phyllis for not understanding her, and insisting she cannot give him up. Walter listens more than he talks, and the film uses him as the audience's ear, since he is already tangled up with Phyllis and now learns how the household looks from the daughter's side. When they reach the corner, Nino's greeting is nothing like Lola's warm story about him. "The name is Zachetti," he says, and warns her not to broadcast so much. Lola's defense of him and his sourness in front of a stranger sit side by side, and neither needs a comment.

Theme

Family conflictLola sides with Nino against her father and Phyllis, and counts the household as a place that does not understand her.
LiesThe ride starts with a cover story about Anne and ends with the real errand, a small lie Lola needs Walter to keep.

I thought you could let me ride with you, if you're going my way.

Lola's opening request: she asks for a lift only if Walter is heading her direction, giving herself an easy way to be refused.

You like roller-skating? I can take it or leave it.

Lola's answer about skating is really about herself: she is indifferent to it, the way she is careful about what she admits.

I wish he'd see it my way. I can't give Nino up.

Lola's wish is not for her father to like Nino but to understand her choice; she says plainly that giving Nino up is not an option.

My father doesn't understand me and Phyllis hates me.

Lola sums up her home as two people against her, which is why she needs the ride and the secret it carries.

このシーンについての質問

Why does Lola ask Walter for a ride?

She wants to get to the corner where Nino is waiting, and she uses the ride to tell someone about him. She also asks Walter not to tell her father.

Why does Lola lie about where she is going?

She first says she is meeting Anne Matthews, because her father does not approve of Nino. She admits the truth once she trusts Walter not to give her away.

Why does Nino act cold toward Walter?

He does not know the man who drove Lola and dislikes that she told a stranger about them. He introduces himself by surname and tells her not to broadcast so much.

Why can't Lola give Nino up?

She sees him as unlucky rather than bad, blames his troubles on his temper and bad breaks, and insists she will not leave him even though her father disapproves.

What does Lola say her father thinks about her suitors?

She says her father thinks nobody is good enough for his daughter, except maybe the man who owns Standard Oil.
