| Description: |
David continues playing Rubinstein's Romance off-screen, now with simple piano accompaniment, presumably being played by Leni (who doesn't read music but has a good ear); Gerald sneaks into the house to get his knife out of the medicine cabinet and knocks over some bottles; although this is a pivotal scene where Gerald accidentally switches the pills that end up killing his mother, the music purposefully does not match the devastating action |
| On-screen: |
Gerald sneaks inside |
| Music annotations: |
[m. 7] Viol on track / pp / piano only / timidly / orchestra out / Piano only - Jessica [i.e. Leni] supposedly accompanying him - crudely! |
