It's not just (the pregnant hotel employee), too. We meet Kai and then he just disappears. There's a practical aspect to that, which is that we were forced to shoot in the bubble, so other than when we were out on the boats, we couldn't shoot anything else. That was the mandate.
But I thought it would be interesting to do that. At the very beginning, [Armond says], "We're interchangeable helpers." It's like they don't exist, this idea that once they exit the hotel, they're pulverized, they vanish. I thought that would be maybe controversial, but it's like a steamrolling. The people waving in the beginning, by the end they've been replaced, and it's like the experience of these hotel guests — oh, she had a baby, he's in jail, whatever. My hope is that the critique of that is built into the DNA of it.
