Hi, i am actually the person who started the topic, but i lost my password. :-).

Anyway, on to more relevant matters,

SD is right on the mark. However, then, not to poke holes, but just maybe your brilliant brain can think of an explanation for this.
In GFII, Michael is trudging thru the snow, and there is a closeup with him and a cig. WHy?>

I mean, one could say it's the trial thats "stressing" him out, but i dunno. All the other examples were more immediate, eg. Kay getting 2 excited, his brother doing the same, etc.

In that scene he comes inside the house and he puts his cig. on the ashtray.
