I was expecting, and yes, even hoping to see a full blown, Hilary Style collapse, with Joe being thrown in the back seat like a 10lb bag of potatoes.
What I saw, it looks like Joe was hesitating to seat himself, because there was something on the spot he wished to sit.
Something was lying there, maybe a briefcase, magazine,
maybe even an enlarged copy of somebody’s Birth Certificate!
Joe missed the first step up of the SUV He then had stepped so high he had to climb or be lifted into the vehicle. That wasn’t shown.
Other factor....it is a SUV...not a limo. So you got to lift your knee another six to twelve inches higher. I would imagine an older guy like him...requiring some type of knee brace, and shifting your leg is more of a pain.
