If you lack contextual information about this scene, it seems like an innocent conversation between a hospital worker and a candy striper, BUT when you know that Violet is wheeling around a corpse she believes is her dead boss (whom she earlier poisoned) and that she is trying to steal the body from the hospital before she and her friends are caught and punished… this simple conversation becomes a life-or-death obstacle. Buffie could literally be the cause of Violet’s downfall.
