OO + O : twO eyes and a mOuth

     
Ah I read the news today, oh boy,
four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire 

And though the holes were rather small,
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. 

I'd love to turn you on.

In this scene from Paris Blues (1961) Joanne Woodward and Sydney Poitier are talking about her Paris holiday boyfriend the musician Ram Bowen (Rimbaud/HA HA), played by Paul Newman. Poitier, as a fellow muso, is telling Woodward that Ram is a "serious" musician, that his music comes first, before any woman. She understands the advice being given.

She says :
"Oh." (O)
He confirms :
"Oh." (O)

While this is happening, Woodward's character is constantly playing with her food, a slice of 'Swiss cheese'. At the start of the discussion the cheese is shaped into something resembling a (Zorro) mask with two eye holes.
      
       
By the time of the "O" : "O" exchange it has been whittled to a single hOle, like a mOuth
       
      
She raises it tO One eye and the shadOw of the hOle frame crOsses her mOuth
