I would say that Loretta is a femme fatale, using her presence as if that is everything he needs, but he knows it is not true, so that is why he is the real one fooling her for a very long time, mockingly saying that how they are supposed to carry on because he is too tired of her attitude or sarcastically provoking her to use other methods to finally conquer him. He is winning the fight.

@@KaleLikesWaffles you can say its looks its pretty close to the 80's (the clothes and haircut, the colours and filtres) but there are some elements un the music that almost Scratch the 60's (like the voice) so id say its an aproach made from a mixture of elements from a blurry past time. After all, its almost impossible to determine when a trend started. You can say "i remember when i was a kid everyone used to wear a certain type of shirt" but can't Tell the exact moment when that wave started.
