In the first act of my thriller, I need to introduce the hero's love interest. I was thinking of doing it in a scene like this with no dialogue:

My friend who is helping me write the script, says that a scene like that will come as random though. Having dialog scenes that move the plot forward, and then all of a sudden cutting to a scene with no dialogue that introduces a love interest, only to cut to another dialogue and plot driven scene without her in, will just feel out of place. But how did the movie Bullitt do it like in that clip? What did they do so well that made that scene work, and not random feeling? Is it just not enough of an introduction by today's standards?
