Well, you remember the last 15 minutes had started with the bike chase. That's right. The police chasing the kids. Right. The kids trying to get E-Team back to the spaceship. And they accelerate to escape velocity, which I understand is 17,500 miles an hour. Right. And we buy that. And the kids fly over the moon. I got that detail from NASA, by the way.

How fast do you have to go on a bike to go over the moon? 17,500 miles.

And they land and the spaceship lands and E.T. and his little friends, earthling children, say goodbye to E.T. and it's very sentimental. And at the end of the sequence, the ship will go up and does a whirling left turn to the flourishes of trumpets at that moment and so on. So in that 10 minutes, there's probably, in every minute of the 10, there are probably 10 sink points, okay? Maybe more.

Somebody's foot, bicycle going up, something falling, whatever. Almost like a cartoon, but you don't... You don't want to hear it that way, but you want to support, at least in the style of this thing, this film. And so on the day of recording, I had the orchestra and we rehearsed a piece and made a few takes. And I could accomplish the first two minutes, which we could have done separately.

And I had problems in four, syncing. The orchestra wanted to... bloom out or blossom out a little bit more than the film would allow me to do or some concentrated action film that sped up and sped up and arrived here so a little quicker than I wanted to get the orchestra to it and I couldn't I really couldn't get the sync the way it should be

And I finally said to Stephen, I can't seem to be able to get this right. He said, we'll turn the film off. We know where the sync points are. The music is constructed for that end. And you record the music where all the rubati, the phrasing and so on, is done for musical satisfaction. The revival, the breathing of the whole thing.

And he said, I will just recut the film to the track.
