I totally agree that drinking the milk from the carton was odd for Vincent... but I really think it was a sign of his extreme distress. He had a mortal wound. He did not enjoy "normal" outlets for expressing, or even feeling, emotions, which apparently even included pain, cause look at how oddly he under-reacted at the moment of the bullet's impact.... so I think this was sorta an instinctive act to try to feel better.... get it down, get it down fast. He must have been dehydrating from loss of blood... plus he seems to have taken a shower, which would dehydrate him further in this circumstance. It was, for him, an extreme reaction to an extreme (mortal, fatal) circumstance. And to me... milk is a kid's drink. He was kinda regressing... don't ALL men regress to children when hurt or sick?

AND he meant to get to the boy, no matter what. So instinct took over to a certain extent.

And the bread thing doesn't seem that weird to me... that does make sense with Vincent, IMO.... that bread (and its plastic wrapping) was a ritualistic thing for him. Now he's shot, he probably can't eat it... he doesn't feel well enough and he's shot in the tummy, right?... so he uses it for comfort... cause it's not like it really stopped the bleeding. It just seemed he turned to his bread and plastic and did SOMETHING with them, even if it wasn't his usual something. For the contact...

plus he seems to have taken a shower

Sorry... do I lose my Alex fan club card now????

Or you reckon he went ahead and killed her without his proper glasses... cause I'm guessing THAT woulda made him reallllly nuts...

Grace, I think that was left over from when there were two couples Vincent encountered after he left his SUV in that neighborhood: the young man and the old man in the wheelchair, and a middle-aged couple who were leaving the open house. It makes sense for the couple to have made a connection to the realtor's death and remembered Vincent, but less sense the way it was portrayed when filmed. But I figure they saved time and money but combining the two couples into one.

That one is harder to judge. In the script (and as filmed), Vincent is getting more and more panicked the longer Alice is there. Maybe he changed to his killing glasses (love the term, btw) and maybe he just dragged poor Alice into the kitchen, grabbed the knife, and stabbed her. Once he's got the knife, he doesn't hesitate in the whole stabbing thing. One "oof" and the person's got a big old hole in their heart. So poor Alice wouldn't have stood much of a chance even if she did figure out she was in trouble. But yeah, I sure would run out that door if I had a chance!

One more creeeeeeeeepy thing. The knife he uses for killing--is that the same one he uses to cut his sandwich!? Because, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. Especially since he doesn't seem to wash it--he just wipes it off!!!
