Dramatic underscoring matches the action throughout this scene; begins with a brass stinger as Wally tries to open the door and finds it locked; followed by string tremolos and quick sweeping gestures; descending and ascending scales as Wally reverses direction as he darts about the room; more muted brass accents and string tremolos, etc. |
