he suddenly remembers his wife, still pacing before the clock which now reads 6:00. Felix removes his shoes at the foot of the stairs before tiptoeing up. The stairs move as if they were piano keys as Felix falls to the foot of the stairs. Another hallucination begins; Felix finds himself back outside as a chicken laughs at his plight. As he begins to beat up the chicken, we see that in reality he is standing at the foot of his wife's bed punching out a feather pillow. An alarm clock on the windowsill shows a time of 3:00, but when Mrs. Felix kicks Felix off the bed, he lands in front of a

The policeman turns toward Felix's wrecked car, puffs out his chest and shoots out the buttons of his uniform as if they were bullets.

Mrs. Felix is now shown waiting and pacing by the grandfather clock (which shows a time of 3:30) in much the same style as her husband. The inebriated Felix waves a goodbye through the front door of the club to the patrons inside, falling off the front step as he turns to leave. He tips the entire
