“You are hitchhiking,” she points out.
“Well, so are you,” Sam retorts. The irony, of course, is that she’s almost admitting that she’s untrustworthy herself, but she’s using reverse psychology: by feigning distrust of Sam she distracts him from questioning her credibility and makes him eager to win her over instead. Not that any of us had any reason to harbour suspicion about her, any more than Sam did. I mean, we all instantly liked the cute, flirty girl, didn’t we?'
