Context
Jim was picked up at the site of a violent stomping earlier in the evening. When his parents (and grandmother) arrive to pick him up at the police station, they begin fighting and blaming each other for Jim’s problems. Jim explodes at them, and juvenile officer Ray leads him into a private office so they can talk, even though Jim is so wound up he’s ready to hit something. The provided video clip is a scene excerpt from the 1955 film Rebel Without a Cause.
