nj confesses at the elevator that sherry is the "only woman" he has ever loved. she says nothing and lets the doors close.

in another scene as ting-ting and "fatty" are in the hotel room and first the lights won't come on and then they're standing around all awkwardly and finally he just walks out almost saying nothing. that was perfect.

those two scenes do much with minimalist dialogue. the characters as per in reality would have very little to stay, given their shock and anxiety in the given station. it wouldn't be a time for long drawn out diatribes about "the perils of love and past mistakes." you would simply let the elevator doors close.
