A sneaky lunch time to complete this musical journey, the inner feedback is intricate. Being taciturn may be a sign of August's talent, but it's always difficult for me to associate him with a musical genius with clear eyes but full of mystery. Starting from the "listening" sentence pattern in the opening monologue, there is a suspicion of contriving, at least in my opinion, it is a bit contrived, not sincere, and not atmospheric enough. Old William's presence was a surprise. Anyway, I was still moved when I saw the little fur boy wielding the baton at last, but I was moved by such mass production and then unified packaging and selling at a price. I don't know how long it will last.

Lyla Novacek: What is that?
Louis Connelly: It's a wish
Lyla Novacek: Now what does that sound like?
Louis Connelly: [singing] well it's a marvelous night for a moondance, with the stars up above in your eyes, a fantabulous night to make romance, 'neath the cover of October skies...
Louis Connelly: When I was a Young fello, I used to talk to the moon
Lyla Novacek: Are you making that up?
Louis Connelly: God I haven't done it in a long time
Lyla Novacek: Did it ever talk back?
Louis Connelly: Well it used to, now I just find myself sitting up here talking to meself, like a loon
Lyla Novacek: well I'm here
Louis Connelly: yes, you are...

Louis Connelly: Wait! Meet me here, at ten o'clock, by the arch!
Marshall: [to Lyla, everyone egging her on] Go on then, say yes!
[Lyla smiles a little, and nods]
Louis Connelly: I take that as a yes!
