Joe and Mabel flee |
| Description: |
Dramatic fleeing music (called "Danger" in the cue sheet); descending melodic patterns accompany them going down the stairs; the tempo slows down to follow the pace of their footsteps; after a stinger (they see a cop), there is a pause as they stop in their tracks |
