You've Got Mail--Visual Cue

Visual cue from You’ve Got Mail.  

There is a scene in the movie where Kathleen Kelly is decorating her store's tree.  She waves to a customer who says hello and calls her by name.  Right after that interaction, she sees people walking by with Fox Books bags.  Immediately her expression falls, and you can see an emotional change come over her.  She is no longer feeling the Christmas spirit, and she is reminded that her store is struggling.  There is little dialogue in this scene, but through Meg Ryan's facial expressions, you can understand the melancholy she is feeling that night.
