sally is watching him, unhappy on his behalf.
the sincerity of the girl's manner strikes home to sidney. now that her back is turned we see the sharp twinge of pain with which he hears the statement of her feelings for another man. angered, he wheels, striding out of the door onto broadway.
he brazens it out.
he hesitates before turning towards sally .
uncertain what to do, whether to follow her or not, he moves after her.
he is quite speechless. over scene hunsecker's voice:
camera, shooting out across the square, frames sidney in f.g. facing the inevitable, sidney turns away, walks across the sidewalk. on the other side of the square the headlamps of the car blink twice. sidney walks towards it.
sidney closes the door, goes into the main living room, camera pans with him. something chills him, he calls softly, "j.j.?"
sidney is very uncomfortable in her presence; susan is the last person he wants to have conversation with.
he watches her cautiously, not sure of how to deal with her.
sidney looks at her, tensely. her voice is so calm, so certain that sidney finds it difficult to play-act innocence. he protests a little too loudly:
sidney is framed in foreground, the squad car beyond. sidney knows what this means. he starts to speak before he turns to look over his shoulder.
