This was unexpected, but Kowalski owes a significant portion of his professional success to his reaction time. In the restroom in question, Kowalski called on the skills he had honed on the ice and made a move in order to capitalize on a potentially fleeting opportunity.

    It didn’t work out the way he hoped.

  2. They are both facing the doors when they open, holding their suitcases like respectable people, looking only moderately flustered. Kowalski holds the elevator door politely for the woman waiting with a stroller. They do not sprint to Cooper’s door. There is no fumbling with keys. They are as calm and dignified as Don Lockwood at a premiere.

    They both stop trying to fake indifference as soon as the door shuts.
