He looks like when my small cat tries to look "big" to the fat cat - you can still see the fear in his eyes, but he sure is trying to fake it!

Mr. Burgess was not helped by the unfortunate editing in that piece. It really serves no purpose to have a couple of seconds of dead air at the beginning of each shot.

I hope the shot of him crawling around the Lexus stand took many, many takes.
