Corrected entry: When Valentine, and Winthorpe, are sitting in the living room you hear them talking but you can barely hear the TV. But as soon as Clarence Beaks' name is mentioned on the TV, all of a sudden the volume goes up without anyone touching a button. (01:25:20)

Correction: The TV's volume doesn't actually change within the context of the scene, it only does so to draw the audience's attention. When Valentine and Winthorpe are speaking the film's audio is focused on their dialogue so the audience can hear them without the sound of the TV interfering. Then when Beaks appears on the TV, the audio is now focused on the televised news report.
