117. JEROME (struggling to come to terms with the discovery) Why have you done this? EUGENE (as he seals the mirrored door) In case you get back before I do. JEROME Where are you going? EUGENE (glancing to the suitcases) I'm traveling too. Jerome goes to question Eugene's travel plans but thinks better of it. He kneels before his friend and embraces him. JEROME Thank you. EUGENE I got the better end of the deal. I just lent you my body--you lent me your dream. Jerome smiles and hugs Eugene a final time. Eugene stuffs an envelope into Jerome's pocket. EUGENE (referring to the note, glancing heavenwards) Not until you're upstairs. Jerome exits. Eugene watches him go. INT. GATTACA - DEPARTURE LOUNGE. NIGHT. JEROME enters a large holding area along with his other eleven CREW MEMBERS. Jerome's heart sinks as he recognizes LAMAR, greeting the crew for one final unexpected substance test. His colleagues groan good-naturedly but it is clearly far more than an inconvenience to Jerome. He looks towards the door he has just entered but there is no way back. One by one the crew are ushered behind a screen.
118. Before he can think of a way out, it is Jerome's turn. He enters the cubicle. JEROME (as he takes the plastic cup from Lamar) What's this, Lamar? LAMAR New policy. From behind, we see Jerome unzip his fly. However for once Jerome does not urinate on cue - unused to operating his own equipment in front of the physician. LAMAR (intrigued by the out- of-character discharge) Flight got you nervous? JEROME There's a problem, Lamar. LAMAR (apparently not listening) Did I ever tell you about my son, Jerome? He's a big fan of yours. He wants to apply here. Jerome realizes he has no choice. Resigned to his fate, he begins to fill the cup. JEROME (as he urinates) Just remember, Lamar, I could have gone up and back and nobody would have been the wiser-- LAMAR (cutting him off) --Unfortunately my son's not all that they promised. But then, who know what he could do. Lamar takes the cup from Jerome in his gloved hand. Jerome anxiously watches his sample poured into the analyzer. Confirming Jerome's worst fears, the face of 20-YEAR-OLD VINCENT appears on the computer screen.
