Oh god you’re right!! The pigeons!I think you forgot the pigeons, sure enough they always manage to find a way in
Jokes aside, yeah from a mere development point of view it can be nightmarish knowing his care for details, potentially so many characters/extras, lights, fog/smoke... He's gonna have fun doing it, we... we will wait.![]()
What about this:
They exit the back door of the club, cross the parking lot engaging in flirty conversation, Sophia giggles more than usual - Sam is on form but also noticeably nervous and excited. They get to Sam’s car and find it peppered with pigeon poo. Sophia laughs but instead of getting embarrassed or flustered or angry (like Liam probably would) Sam steps up: "I need to take care of this right away." He and Sophia get in, he drives it to a 24-hour car wash.
Their actions mirror the car wash cycle: The water and soap and suds build up. The gentle scrubbing brushes do their magic, washing away the built up grit and grime. The wraparound scrubbers make sure the front, underside and rear all get proper attention. Next is the rinse cycle followed by the hot wax cycle. Finally the drying pads gently and rhythmically mop away the excess moisture and buff everything to a perfect shine.
The car, like Sophia, emerges refreshed and reinvigorated, just like new.
Now that, IMHO, would be thematically and narratively and metaphorically sound, and something I could totally buy into.
And it reinforces the significance of all those damned pigeons.
