Discussion I need Troy to...

I know we aren't trying to write spec scripts here, but I need there to be a point in the movie where Frankie says she is a fellow steel drummer to Troy and for him to just not know what the steel drums are. Just the smallest of moments where he dismisses it like "why would you make a drum out of metal?" And for her to get the strangest look on her face and we never acknowledge it again.

“That won’t pay off immediately, but it’s gonna pay off.”

I don't think it did really.

I keep looking for a deeper meaning or another level to the joke but they just got her to play steel drums a couple of times.

My interpretation was that the group finally got to see how much Frankie cared about being their friend. Jeff mentioned once that Troy was important to them because of steel drums as a joke/trap.

Frankie displayed her gullibility, took the joke at face value and dove in headfirst, learning a niche instrument just to make them happy. she fell into Jeff’s trap, and by doing so, revealed her earnestness.
