Why it works
The subject reveal at frame 164 follows three expressive close shots, then shots 5–10 turn the rule into legible physical steps; the reference's strongest replay window is 17.1–18.2 seconds, directly after that demonstration. The dialogue later introduces an exception and a practical cue before the crowd escalation in shots 37–38, while the low bed leaves the voices in control.
