Shot from too many angles and edited to within an inch of its life, it doesn't really stand a chance compared to the other wonderful office scene. And I stand by my original assessment of "it's just the wind, Ruth." It was naff.

Yes, those are good points too. I really understand why you all have so many problems with the scene, but I also understand what they were trying to do with it, and I think the underlying sentiment is lovely. It shows that these two really care deeply about each other's emotional well-being, both trying to comfort the other, albeit Harry in his usual inept and indirect manner, and Ruth more directly by touching him.
