| Description: |
John turns on the radio and we hear Steiner's tune "A Boy and a Girl"; Steiner later re-used this theme as the "Kay and Veda" theme in Mildred Pierce; here the tune is heard as a sentimental ballad for strings; John comments on the song: "I kind of like that; how 'bout you?" and Vergie replies "Oh fine!"; the tune unexpectedly modulates, ending with a half cadence in D major; the manuscript is missing the first 15 measures |
| On-screen: |
John and Vergie listen to the radio |
