The opening scene of this film features a brief incident of Luke “beheading” parking meters while intoxicated. As he destroys public property, the ‘Violation’ warning flashes, foreshadowing his inevitable arrest. When the police arrive to arrest Luke for the minor public disturbance, he is asked for his motive behind the rebellious act. With no sign of remorse, he grins and replies, “you could say I was settling an old score” (1967), allowing for the assumption that he has had a pre-existing resistance to authority.
