Here's the setup. As a teen, Denny Colt (The Spirit) was in love with Sand Seref. Then a tragic death occurs that tears them apart. Sand Seref says she's never coming back to Central City. He yells at her, "I hate you!" and they never see each other again. Until one fateful day. Years later. Sand Seref returns. The Spirit and Sand Seref, once naive young lovers, now hardened adults, meet again for the first time in years.
Now watch their first meeting in years...
If you find yourself wondering if you got the right scene, then you are beginning to understand the awesome strangeness that is The Spirit.

To me this clip shows a fairly competent transposition of comic book writing to the screen. If anything the revelation is how juvenile most comic writing is. Having a world to imagine to life from crude drawings and text bubbles probably distracts from the unreality and childishness of the stories. Watching them acted out literally in a passive movie viewing state shows their true colors.
