The Jazz Singer Page #6

He snaps shut the watch and glares at Sara.

60.MED. SHOT BOTH

Sara makes some excuse for the boy. Maybe he doesn't know what time it

is. He starts pacing up and down again. Sara finishes the placing of

food on the table and starts arranging the chairs.

61.CLOSE-UP CANTOR

He scowls as he pauses in his pacing and says:

TITLE 19:
"If he don't come now in a minute, he starts

his Yom Kippur fasting without supper."

62.FULL SHOT ROOM

As the cantor resumes his pacing, Sara hears someone at the door and

goes to it, only to admit, instead of the expected Jakie, an excited

Yudelson. The cantor turns around in surprise. Yudelson rushes up to him

and starts telling him about seeing Jakie singing n*gger songs in

Muller's. The cantor throws up his hands in horror. Yudelson nods grimly

but in a satisfied manner.

63.CLOSE-UP YUDELSON

He says in a self-righteous manner:

TITLE 20:
"Of course it ain't any of mine business, but I

say to myself it's my duty, I--"

He looks around surprised.

64.FULL SHOT ROOM

The cantor has grabbed his hat and is on his way out of the door as

Yudelson stands open-mouthed. Sara starts wringing her hands.

65. CLOSE SHOT YUDELSON AND SARA

As they see the cantor disappear, Sara looks at Yudelson with marked

disapproval. He decides that it is time to go and turns as Sara starts

to reprove him for his tattling. She tells him he would be better off

attending to his own business. With a hurried excuse Yudelson turns.

66.FULL SHOT ROOM

Yudelson quickly disappears out of the front door and Sara drops into a

chair heavily. She knows that there will be an unpleasant scene before

long and she dreads it.
