Dramatic underscoring as the boys deal with the junk dealer; there is a tense drone after he is attacked and is lying on the ground, followed by rumbling melody in the low register; there is an ascending gesture as they go up the stairs |

| Analysis: |
Tense harmonies lead up to a dissonant flutter-tongued polychord (combining f#o7 and g#o7) when the boys attack the man; tension continues afterwards with a low rumbling ostinato gesture and a chromatically ascending third gesture; finishes with a prolonged diminished 7th chord |
