This is such a spooky scene. It is so realistic because nothing comes out of it. Many movies would have the rocker enlist in the army after listening to that "person of substance" line from Frances. In this movie, the man is "spooked out" for a moment but doesn't change. The truth is change due to one line is difficult.
