Description
On-screen: Bob walks
Description: An awkward cut to a different variant of the "Gimpy Walk" as Bob paces back and forth while the others sleep
Analysis: The walking gesture alternates between a tonic Eb major add6 chord and a viio7 chord that keeps a dissonant tonic Eb in it (and a bass shift to scale degree 4); the cue ends with a reverse picardy that is prepared with a borrowed ii/o65
