Answer to Question 1

In Psycho, the main character (Janet Leigh) drives her car through a
rainstorm. On the soundtrack, we hear her windshield wiper blades slashing
furiously against the downpour. Later, when she is taking a shower in a motel, these
same sounds are repeated. The source of the water noise is apparent, but the slashing
sounds seem to come from nowhereuntil a demented killer crashes into the
bathroom brandishing a knife.

Answer to Question 2

Realistic musicals are generally backstage stories, in which the production
numbers are presented as dramatically plausible. An example would be A Star Is
Born. Formalist musicals make no pretense at realism. Characters burst out in song
and dance in the middle of a scene without easing into the number with a plausible
pretext. An example would be Meet Me in St. Louis.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts.
