Stanley reacts |
| Description: |
Over a tense drone, we hear the source tune "South American Way," which is something Stanley was listening to both before her husband's suicide and before the car accident where she killed the young girl; we assume that she is hearing this tune in her head as she remembers these past events, so it is remembered source music that none of the other characters in the scene can hear; the tense drone continues after the record music fades out |

| Analysis: |
South American Way is in F major, which clashes with the low E pedal tone in the score |
