Parallel editing is used to show that the boy and girl are related and have a strong relationship. We can see through the parallel editing that they lead very different teenage lives, showing binary opposite characters. She is coming home; rebelling against house rules and he has been in his own bed. This conforms to Levi Strauss' idea that all narratives have opposites. The two narrative threads come together as she reaches the window and the cut aways show that she relies on him to cover up for her. Following this we see shot reverse shots and cuts between Tony and his sister, this has been used to emphasise how much she depends on Tony. This again plays on the stereotype that younger sisters relie on their older brothers to help them out.
