I don't precisely remember how the dialogue went, but it was great, the whole idea of the movie was contained in it. Though I don't understand what you meant with the odd framing remark, I don't know the term.
The next movie riddle follows:

By 'framing' I meant the composition of the shots. They're so memorable, as in the clip I linked above. Its like each shot could be a painting or a beautifully caught moment in a photograph. Hartley never goes for the obvious shot either. In the clip above we see the usual wide to medium to close convention, but the way Hartley frames those shots they stand out from everything else. The nearest I can think of who shares that same eye for composition is Stanley Kubrick.
