In the evening By 6 p.m. neither of them had any appetite.
Just then, the phone in the room rang. The producer, being closer, answered, "This is the Léon crew. Who's calling?"
"This is the film commission. We're notifying you that you can resume filming tomorrow."
"Really?"
He could hardly believe it. Was the issue resolved?
"Of course. We will deliver the penalty notice tomorrow. Due to the accident, your crew will be fined $2000. We hope there will be no more incidents."
The producer was sure now.
He was ecstatic.
"Thank you, thank you. We accept the penalty."
"See you tomorrow."
"Yes, see you tomorrow."
The producer hung up and excitedly told Hitchcock, "Director, the issue is resolved. The commission said we can resume filming tomorrow, and the fine is only $2000."
Stopping the crew for a day was a significant loss.
