Multiple lyrics from The Police song "Every Breath you Take" can be allusions to plot points in the stories. Every breath you take - in reference to the smoking, and the troll's mission. Every move you make - the smoker being watched or the hotel ledge steps. Every bond you break - the bet that was broken or the promise to quit smoking. Every step you take - the steps around the hotel. I'll be watching you - the cat watching these stories play out. Every single day - again, the smoker being followed for months. Every word you say - again, promises. Every game you play - again, betting. Every night you stay - the cheating wife. Oh can't you see - the smoker being watched. You belong to me - the cat being a guardian for the girl. My poor heart aches - the husband who was being cheated on. Every vow you break - broken marriage vows or broken bet. Every smile you fake - general lying throughout the film. Every claim you stake - ownership over money or animals, even people.
