Thoughts while watching Last Clean Shirt

During the video I was discribing what I was seeing and some thoughts were also put into the writing as well so here they are, exactly what I did in class:

1. (Original clip)The car was just sitting there a woman got in first and was already talking before the man got in. Then the man came walking, she was still talking but now waving. The man taped down a clock.. she wants his complete attention. Shes flirting with him.. I thought she wasnt speaking englsih.. like a different language but when she started singing "lotty dotty" it was clear she was speaking "jiberish" she was not or it not saying anything. Maybe the clock is her timer for when she can stop saying "nothing"
Theres a lot of noise in the background. I think it might almost be hard and awkward to say mumblish to someone and look them in the eye.

2. (same video but now subtitles)Now there are subtitles.. but even the subtitles dont make sense.. there really random and only "kind of" a few can flow together but the ideas have no structure and no consistency.
maybe shes drunk
I guess it's hard for me to follow because there really isnt a specific storey line.. but at the same time the woman is very animated about her "made up" language, so it keeps my interest. She looks lik eshe would be exchanging words with someone in a conversation but she was the only one talking.

3. (Now giving his "point of view" also)Not really actually.. it just says every once in awhile that he is "thinking, still thinking". These subtitles are different, still really dont carry any sort of storey so it's hard to follow but I did notice when she starts singing, there are still subititles. Not only are there subtitles like shes talking when she really is singing, but she litterally will say one word and there will be paragraphs..
Maybe the person putting the subtitles is doing them with no "thought" at all, merely just writting..
