Note on Keeping Up with the Joneses

Track 8, "Keeping up With The Joneses" does not appear in the film. But, two segments from this score do appear in the movie. First, after the book-burning scene, at the airport, we see Henry Jones reading a newspaper that is concealing his face. The music that is playing at the time is the Keeping up With The Jones' theme, which is played rather softly o­n the woodwinds. Later, at the beach scene, we see the Jones' running down to the beach. We hear a very short sequence that occurs o­n the track right before the music in the airport does.
