And then he stands there, reading out loud from the newspaper, just to be annoying, and gets that hurt look when Bullitt tells him to shut up. It is a great scene.

Yes, he and McQueen have a fantastic chemistry. I love the introductory scene, when he wakes Bullitt up. Goes to the kitchen, pours himself a glass of orange juice, (or is it pineapplejuice? It comes from a tin can, anyway.) walks straight by the very just awakend Bullitt, who reaches out for the juice, because he thinks it's for him. A classic scene, and a brilliant introduction, of both characters.
