One of the scenes within Pretty Woman where this communication element manifests itself is during the first interaction between Edward and Vivian. After noticing Edward’s Ferrari, Vivian approaches it and leans in to strike a conversation with him. Vivian asks him whether he is looking for a date, and Edward responds by stating, “what’s that?” After Vivian clarifies what she said before, Edward asks her for directions to get to Beverly Hills. Shocked by the response, Vivian responds by stating, “What?” and then drops the come-on comment as she enquires whether Edward is really lost. When dropping the come-on tag, Vivian contorts her lips and pulls her head slightly back. This interaction has two major non-verbal messages. The first one manifests itself when Vivian approaches Edward’s car. She leans into the car to reduce the physical distance between them. This is a non-verbal message to Edward that she is willing to engage in a conversation with him.
