Tramp: Can ye spare some cutter, me brothers?

Alex: Welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, welly, well. To what do I owe the extreme pleasure of this surprising visit?

Suggested correction: The album shown in the picture is NOT, as is commonly believed, the soundtrack of 2001, but rather a compilation of movie theme music that includes the main theme of 2001. However, the ACTUAL soundtrack of 2001 is still visible in the scene, just a little earlier: When Alex finishes flipping through a magazine and tosses it down on a counter, one of the records in that shot is the 2001 soundtrack.

Questions

Question: I don't understand why Alex waits until Mrs. Alexander has unchained the opened front door and fully opened it, before he and his droogs break in. I'm sure the four of them could easily have broken the chain off with a bit of force. Is it simply part of Alex's nature to be invited in, before he starts his attack?

Gavin Jackson

Chosen answer: It's part of the "fun element" of the crime to get the victim to open the door themselves.
