Horrible News abot James being killed. It just seemed so inappropiate to still have it playing 35-40 seconds after Florida read the telegram

If they were reading telegrams, the music should've been turned off beforehand so everybody could hear them.

I think that made the scene better, because everyone, including Florida finds out at the same time and the music still playing sort of represents that everyone in such shock, they didn't think to turn the music down. I think it was all part of the direction.

It shows how quick life can change. 30 seconds earlier they were having a party.
