| Description: |
A statement of the Titus motif in the lower instruments as we see the Sheriff sitting on the porch of the Palmer House; this motif is the first three notes of the Flamingo Road theme, but with the intervals altered such that it ends with a half step rather than a whole step; Titus represents the dark side of Flamingo Road, which explains the connection between these themes |
