Description
Description: A solo clarinet plays a variant on the Lullaby theme as underscoring to John and Vergie's conversation about their daughter; there is a crescendo to a stinger as Vergie asks John if they should tell her she is adopted
On-screen: John and Laura talk about Joan
Analysis: This cue is missing from the sketch; the melody is stated in minor, then fragmented, then altered to begin on scale degrees SOL-TE
