A weird bit of dialogue between Leon and Claire near the start....
Did anyone else find it strange how Leon delivered his lines to Claire when they met at the police station behind the gate? Specifically when Leon says to her "It's *so* nice to see you," with emphasis on the "so". It seemed like a weird way to say that, in that situation. It sounded almost... romantic and flirtatious. A more normal way to say it would have been "it's so good to see you", but more in the way of being relieved to see she was alive, and with no emphasis on any words.

The whole scene had weirdly delivered dialogue. They seemed too casual and unconcerned about what was going on, like they were just meeting up for a chat somewhere. I don't know, maybe I'm looking into it too much, but in both of my playthroughs it's stuck out as weird.

If you choose Claire for scenario A, she'll say "Leon, we really gotta stop meeting like this" with a smile on her face.

Oops, I spoiled it, nevermind.

Yeah it's very weird. Zombies are getting up and bashing down the gate but all they can do its bat their eyes at each other.

Stressful and dangerous situations spark romantic interest. It is a proven psychological affect.

They obviously had great chemistry during the car ride into Raccoon City, and Leon has already saved her life.

Yeah, they were definitely flirting. But that, along with laughter, can be a totally legitimate response to danger and stress. They switched it off to serious mode when the helicopter exploded.

Don't know why people find it weird that they were flirting.

EDIT: The end of the game shows this too - notice how when Leon first runs into Claire again, he stares at her enraptured and misses the fact that Sherry is there for just a little too long?

Inappropriate situation to it in, don't you think?

Because it's weird the way they were flirting--it was way too casual as if they were meeting up for coffee.

First response should have been to try to open the gate to let them in.

Well, they thought they might be the last 2 survivors, so why not flirt.

No. See my first response.

The journalist and war correspondent Chris Hedges has written of the ‘frenetic lust’ that is typically part of the wartime landscape, and has noted how the violence and chaos of war often lead even the most conservative or sheltered men and women to ‘give themselves over to wanton carnal relationships.’

Because they're surrounded by dozens of zombies trying to kill them?

Because their flirting is just opening the mouth.

Lolwut? Inappropriate? If you were in a position where you were about to die at any second and a cute girl was flirting wouldn't you play along if not just solely to take your mind off the fact that the dead are literally eating the flesh of the living?

That's all well and good, but they made no effort to try to get the other person inside or help them in any way. Maybe if they had tossed some ammo over the gate before parting with a few flirty words, it might not have come off as weird and forced.

Showing concern for someone would seem more natural.

The bolt cutter, may have been passed from the person inside the gate to the other outside, but its just wasn't shown / entirely cut out.
