Final Scenes that wipe out
Expectations split screen.

FINAL SCENE as Tom leaves party

and walks outside

---a panning shot of Tom makes it

too hard to count the number of
extras in this scene, but there are
at least 10 in the screenshot here.
---all the extras are recycled from
the previous scenes, and wearing
what weve come to establish:
party dresses, mostly sleeveless
and free-flowing. The guys are in
their suits/suit jackets and semiformal button-up tops.
---the most distinct extras in this
scene is the woman examining
Summers RING. As seen in the
screenshot, shes wearing your
summer clothing get-up
w/sandals.
(Obviously made to look drearier
than Summer!)
---2 extras posing as a couple walk
by Tom.
They are wearing casual clothing
for a cool, summers evening.
(The shot is pretty blurry so it
makes it hard to see exactly what
theyre wearing.)
