IRENE<br />

(never taking her<br />

eyes from him,<br />

echoing Jerome's<br />

words from their<br />

first encounter)<br />

Sorry, the wind caught it.<br />

Once again there is not a breath of wind. <strong>The</strong> hair lies,<br />

plainly visible on the edge of the pool.<br />

From an upstairs window, EUGENE observes the couple.<br />

INT. JEROME'S CONDOMINIUM. NIGHT.<br />

We watch the silhouette of IRENE and JEROME making love in<br />

the bedroom.<br />

INT. EUGENE'S CONDOMINIUM. NIGHT.<br />

EUGENE, sitting in his darkened room, unscrews the cap of a<br />

plastic container and places it on a near<strong>by</strong> table. We remain<br />

on Eugene's face as he opens his fly.<br />

INT. JEROME'S CONDOMINIUM. NIGHT.<br />

IRENE and JEROME lie in bed together after making love. For<br />

once Jerome is able to sleep unconcerned. It is Irene who<br />

lies awake, head against JEROME'S chest, listening to the<br />

sound of his erratically beating heart. However it has a<br />

soothing effect on her.<br />

She kisses Jerome and reluctantly rises from the bed.<br />

JEROME<br />

(awakening)<br />

A year is a long time.<br />

IRENE<br />

Not so long--just once around the<br />

sun.<br />

Jerome smiles. For once Irene seems to be looking forward to<br />

the trip. She exits the room.<br />

INT. INCINERATOR. MORNING.<br />

Inside the incinerator, JEROME scrapes away at himself - for<br />

the final time. He wistfully regards the brush in his hand.
