Why did Lorrie ask Rocky what was wrong with his face?

fundamentally, this is such a stupid question. it's a movie about a boy with facial disfigurement. naturally, people are going to ask him. even if rusty explained this to the girl, it's a completely different animal when one sees rocky in personnot to mention they built rusty's entire character around her raising rocky to not "feel" different. then there's the old "it's a hollywood movie." boy has problem. boy meets girl. girl is hooker. hooker asks boy about face.

It's possible that Rusty told the girl in advance that her son had a deformed face, but that the girl was still shocked by the severity of Rocky's condition when she first visually encountered him.
Just because she was told about Rocky's face doesn't necessarily mean the girl was prepared for what she saw when she entered his room.
