There’s a saying in writing and screenwriting called “kill your darlings”, and it means cut the joke/line or “thing” you put in because you really want to but doesn’t advance the storyline, arc or plot.
It was just the author trying too hard to include something he always wanted to put in.
Tarentino does it a lot and so do a lot of writers/directors. Even Scorsese meanders in his dialog. This stuff can make movies overly long.
