He does appear to be posed to take off...notice the hand gripping the chair ready to push/pull it out of his path....
But that begs the question...did he catch her? Was she receptive to his advances?
OT...Pockets might be needing a new screen id/nickname - rarely does anyone catch him with his hands in his pockets anymore. Now it seems he always has food in his hands (ie. 5 guys) or food nearby. And though we have no photographic evidence of it ever taking place -- I don't think you can bowl with even 1 hand in your pocket.
