In the diner scene, 12-year-old Iris adds sugar to her toast which is already covered in jelly. Some viewers interpret this character trait as Iris still being a kid at heart; however, this was not the intention. The other hooker who walks the streets with Iris in the film was an actual prostitute whom Jodie Foster shadowed to prepare for her role. The prostitute (played by Garth Avery) was also a heroin addict and one way in which she would quell her addiction was to add extra sugar to her meals. Jodie, being a very young but very observant and intuitive young actress, incorporated this character trait into the scene.
