Seven Days in May [1964]
1. “You wanna dance?” “No thank ya, honey, I just had a hernia operation.”
2. John Houseman sits alone at a round table, covered with a white tablecloth, upon which is a bottle of wine, a wine glass, the remains of a sumptuous dinner, and a telephone.
3. He opens the drawer, partially removes the sheaf of letters. Pauses. Puts the letters back into the drawer without showing them to General Scott. Shuts the drawer.
