Ripping doors from their hinges, smashing the Great Northern's service bell, breaking glass... I agree that it was a sad story however. Her suicide attempt was particularlly sad -- especially the way the scene was done (i.e. music, clothes, soft "goodbye"...) -- but also the fact that Nadine apparently felt depressed enough to hide from her life by retreating to the happy days of her youth.
