Aalenfae posted this on vimeo a few days ago, not sure why he didn't post it here yet.
I've battled with that mess of a scene for so long and have come to a very similar conclusion to you, Aalenfae. Great job!
It's really difficult (or impossible) to make them seem like friends in this scene so the best we can do it seems is use the elevator scene for that and make him assertive in this one.
I've had some radical editing ideas in the past (some of which have still not been removed from my youtube) so I'd be happy if you borrowed some and I'd be delighted to run some of my ideas by you.
