CAESAR<br />
I guess so.<br />
(looking up through<br />
the small window)<br />
Well, while you're up there, maybe<br />
you could tidy the place up a bit.<br />
JEROME<br />
I'll see what I can do.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two men embrace, Caesar breaking off before Jerome.<br />
CAESAR<br />
And don't go getting everybody<br />
lost out there. You'll give us a<br />
bad name. You won't have me to<br />
keep an eye on you, you know.<br />
JEROME<br />
(glancing to Caesar's<br />
locker)<br />
By the way, I left some trash in<br />
your locker.<br />
CAESAR<br />
(happy to oblige)<br />
I'll take care of it.<br />
Jerome departs. Caesar watches him go and turns back to his<br />
locker. He opens it to find a brand new, high-tech telescope<br />
sitting inside.<br />
<strong>The</strong> old janitor gets over his surprise and beams broadly -he<br />
looks back in Jerome's direction but he has gone. <strong>The</strong> old<br />
janitor cannot help himself and reverently reaches for the<br />
telescope's eyepiece.<br />
INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> - COMPUTER COMPLEX. NIGHT.<br />
In the dimly-lit, empty computer complex, JEROME takes a last<br />
look around. He sits at his computer, one final time<br />
replaying the graphic representation of his path through the<br />
cosmos that he is on the eve of taking for real.<br />
He notices the key missing from his keyboard. Instantly<br />
realizing the significance, he rises from his seat to flee.<br />
Vincent--<br />
INVESTIGATOR<br />
Jerome is stopped in his tracks <strong>by</strong> the sound of his given<br />
name and the voice that calls it.
