I wonder what Bart's thinking when Mackenzie shouts "Get the f*ck off me" when he tries to lead her back to the road. He's obviously startled. I think in that moment he's wondering what would drive this girl to put herself in a vulnerable situation (being alone with a man she doesn't know) when she's afraid to be touched. And up till then she's been the one invading his space, insisting on following him even when he tells her to go her own way. So I think when she overreacts that way, he remembers that she's still a vulnerable, scared kid.

I also think it's when he realizes he has to tread carefully with her.

I imagine he wanted to get away from her too. In the end when he figured out what she was running from he must've been glad he did help her but up to that point I can't help but believe that he was thinking "what can I do to get her to leave me alone?" That scene where he thinks she's left and he's starting to drive away from the hotel and then she runs up and bangs on his car window he seems so disappointed.

I love this movie BTW. It really affected me and I've watched it several times.

I feel the same way about the movie! I've watched it several times too.

I felt bad for both characters -- Mackenzie for obvious reasons, and Bart because he was put in an awkward and risky position without knowing why. But I think in the end it was lucky they found each other.

I agree. It's great that they found each other despite the circumstances that they met under.
