I'm trying real hard to understand this gif. Any help?

It’s from ‘a fish called Wanda’, classic 80s movie. Kevin Kline’s character Otto always gets mad when someone calls him stupid. In this case, he interrupts his partner/lover Wanda (Jamie Lee Curtis) while she’s in bed with a lawyer she’s scamming (John Cleese) because he thinks he’s about to call him stupid.
 
I have a funny story...
I apparently REALLY liked Mork and Mindy because I wanted a pair of those suspenders from K-mart on Broadway, so bad that I lifted them after my dad told me no, we couldn’t get them.
I had to be like 6 maybe??
Once in the car, my dad realized that I had stolen the suspenders and I thought he was going to kill me. He marched me back into K-mart, to the giant service desk, that seemed like it was 12 foot tall, made me tell the manager what I did and give the suspenders back to him.
The manager said he wasn’t going to call the police on me this time but would next time!
I will never forget that as long as I live, the whole thing is burned into my mind. I was terrified of not only my dad, but the Kmart manager and the cops!!
I remember crying my eyes out.😂
Mork and Mindy, rainbow suspenders with Morks little gloves for the clasps...
🤦
That one incident, put a stop to my life of crime and thievery.
I guess the old man knew what he was doing.

Similar story over a family sized bag of ….. wait for it….

You two were professional thieves. When I was 5 or 6, i was standing in line at the A&P at Western Plaza with whatever I was trying to steal, can’t remember what it was. Was holding it behind my back. My mom and the cashier were just looking at me while she was checking out, I thought I was playing it cool but realized I was busted and put it back.

I saw that movie at the time & thought that was one dumb ass movie.
