Joelle's walk: the anti-ad and U.H.I.D. — "Joelle removes it and looks at…"

quote

Joelle removes it and looks at it and puts it back. She’s had her last fling with film cartridges.

Context

Carlisle states flat what the text withholds: because Jim never shared the footage, Joelle "doesn't realize that the display is presumably an advertisement for the very film she just remembered making" — the Entertainment's star handling what may be the Entertainment, undecoded. He leaves two questions open: whether the A.F.R. is behind the display, and whether the case holds a live cartridge "like the one viewed by the attaché." Recorded as his reading; the display is never identified.
