Sydney prides herself on her cleverness. Her teachers and prospective lovers (usually different) always commented it was her most identifiable trait.
So it’s frustrating when this critical character component fails to impress. Like when she explains to the traffic cop that coming to a complete stop was both unnecessary and a waste of fuel, and she’s doing everyone a service.
Or when she told Ian that kissing her boss simply made her appreciate Ian more as a boyfriend.
Neither did he laugh at her joke about the dog dropping his bouquet of white flowers to bark at its own reflection.
