Footage from the set of
A Winter’s Night
5/8/96

Frank and Zelda are sitting in an empty stage set designed as a 1940s nightclub. They are eating a homemade lunch from a picnic basket. They are not speaking and appear tense.

ZELDA

Have you talked to her yet?

FRANK

No.

ZELDA

Something’s wrong.

FRANK (shaking his head)

Nothing is wrong! You worry too much.

ZELDA (watches him as she takes a bit of her sandwich)

And you don’t worry enough.

FRANK (looking up)

What is that supposed to mean?

ZELDA

It means that you never think anything bad can touch you. It’s childish. There is good and bad in this world, Frank. We all get an equal amount.

FRANK

Yes, but …

ZELDA

I mean it Frank. I’m worried. There’s something going on with her. A mother knows these things.

Camera shuts off.
