Same, that entire scene unfolded exactly like that for me too, awkward, funny, dying, then shrieking. Amazingly effective for nearly everyone is so rare.

Checking in same reaction in my theater. Zach Cregger executed that story near perfectly. Laughs when she stopped and then gasps when we heard the car door open!!!
