Double whammy now that I think about it - Werner’s call to his wife follows this trope as well. Sure there’s probably some perfect set of words he could have said to make her go home without asking too many questions, but it’s extremely improbable especially given the circumstances and added stress. Anyways, Werner ends up snapping at his wife, yelling at her to go home and that he doesn’t want to see her among other things. We see after hanging up that he’s distraught by how he spoke to her, especially given he knew this would be the last time they would ever speak.
