Ok! While sitting in the car right before the fire she did one or more of these things. Lit a cigarette, talked on the phone, started the car, turned on the radio, then rubbed a cat vigously against the cashmere sweater, or all of the above!
All of this in the two 30 second intervals that are missing from the film!

But note: She did not touch the frame of the car while getting out. In fact, on second look, it doesn't look like she touched the car frame at all from pulling in. The static is from the tires, when she pulled in from the freeway, or what have you. And it looks like her rear end was on the car when she reached for the pump. She not having touched the frame of the car during all of this, until her second contact with the pump, that was grounded. I think we need super slo-mo here!
