SCENARIO: BOY FISHING

Scenario:   Boy Fishing
Opening shot:  (Noon) Fancy car drives by.  Roar engine.  Squeal brakes. Car stops.  Backs up as if the driver owns the road.  Driver exits. Big business man. Blue suit.  Important. At least to himself.  Looks past box cars to bridge.  Walks rapidly to bridge.  Walks rapidly onto bridge.  Stops and fish pole.  Hesitates.  Takes and activates pole.  Morphs into boy.  Goes to rail gap, far end.  Stand at post ending rail gap.  Fishes.  Catches fish.  Sits on edge (if possible).  CUT.  
Now twilight. Boy hesitantly starts back to land.  Fishing rod goes.  Boy steps off bridge.  Morphs back into business man.  But somehow younger.  Mentally, at least.  Jumps into car.    Leaves quietly.  
Backstory:  Something makes him angry.   He drives out here without knowing why.  
Front story: What made him angry is resolved by new perspective.  Or rather, old perspective that he had left behind years ago.  On the bridge.

I was wondering how to show that the man is 'changed' when he leaves the bridge. Does he put the top down on the car or take his suitcoat off? Is there something he could throw into one of the oil drum fires?

I lilke this scenario.
