Evan Hunter

There's every bird imaginable to mankind in that room.

I mean, there are hawks, there are eagles, there are seagulls, there are anything you could imagine is in that room.

When her eyes pan that room, we see all the birds in the universe in that room and we know right at that moment that this is a unified attack against human beings and not something we're playing around with here in Bodega Bay.

it didn't turn out that way.

In the film, he just used crows and seagulls.

But I described the scene to him, and she goes up the stairs, and she hesitates, and then she opens the door, and all these birds are in there.

And he was silent for a while, and then he said, let me see if I have this correctly, Evan.

And I said, yeah.

And he said, there's been this massive bird attack on the house.

I said, yes, there has.

He said, and now she hears a sound, and Mitch is asleep, so she doesn't want to wake him up.

So she goes to investigate by herself.

Have I got that correct?

I said, yes.

He says, well, is the girl daft?

So I said, well, you know, I realized he had me.

And he said, we'll take the curse off it.

He said, we'll have her first go into the kitchen and spot the lovebirds in the cage.

And this makes her feel a bit more complacent about it.

And then we'll have her along the way open some other doors and she'll see that everything's okay.
