This scene is interesting for its range of emotions. Jane is at first upset, Renato gets angry at her for behaving like a spoiled schoolgirl and convinces he that he has not done anything wrong. They kiss, they make up and she reluctantly agrees to go out with him.
The dialogue is brilliant, is a good scene for older actors and if you want to practice an Italian accent. There is a very good monologue Renato delivers to tell her that he thinks that all she wanted after all was an affair and she should "enjoy living".
