The argument for the scene is that Travis is so out-of-touch that he doesn't realize the impropriety. He views it as just taking Betsy to a movie. His subconscious is bringing Betsy to his "family," his world, and his hang-outs. I refuse to accept that Travis would do such a thing. In those days, many people did not have access to porno movies at home, so loners went to disgusting theaters. I'm not indicting pornography, but Travis is a Vietnam vet cabbie that rails out of one side of his mouth that he "hates the corruption" yet he takes someone clearly not from that world into it like that and we're to believe that he does this without thinking?
