While Jim could hug and console Tippi, she treated Hitch as if he was a much older and overweight slug -- right on two counts. But, Hitch was no slug. She could not even say that she loved him in return to his saying that to her, something that is not uncommon among any group of people. She should have said, "I love you too, Hitch," just as he said by himself after she ran out of the room. But, no. She treated him as if she was filming the Creature from the Black Lagoon.
As a retired CEO of a company, I have had many women tell me that they love me, and I respond in kind, and truthfully. This has never led to anything untoward, and was not the intent in any case. In fact, it helped us to be like a second family, which is very important in the optoelectronics and software field.
I suspect that Tippi Hedren has had many regrets if this was, in fact, the way that she acted. The final, overboard, absurd request for sex on demand was either fiction or his way of running her off using exasperation, in not only my opinion, but the opinion of the people in my company, both male and female. Hitch knew that he would run her off with that kind of request if what is shown in the movie is accurate.
