JEROME (cont'd; VO)<br />
Why should anybody invest all that<br />
money to train me, when there are<br />
a thousand other applicants with<br />
a far cleaner profile? Of course,<br />
it's illegal to<br />
discriminate -"genoism" it's<br />
called - but no one takes the laws<br />
seriously.<br />
As Jerome enters the office, we focus on the doorhandle he<br />
has just touched.<br />
JEROME (VO)<br />
If you refuse to disclose, they<br />
can always take a sample from a<br />
doorhandle...<br />
Vincent hesitates before shaking the PERSONNEL OFFICER's<br />
outstretched hand.<br />
JEROME (VO)<br />
...or a handshake...<br />
We focus on Jerome's envelope attached to his application<br />
form sitting on the Manager's desk.<br />
JEROME (VO)<br />
...even the saliva off your<br />
application form.<br />
Sitting opposite the manager, Jerome's face falls. <strong>The</strong><br />
manager puts a clear, plastic cup in front of Jerome.<br />
JEROME (VO)<br />
But for the most part we know who<br />
we are. And if all else fails, a<br />
legal drug test can just as easily<br />
become an illegal peek at your<br />
future in the company.<br />
Vincent saves the Manager the trouble and exits the office,<br />
leaving the cup where it sits.<br />
EXT. BEACH. DAY.<br />
17-YEAR-OLD JEROME walks up the beach to find 15-YEAR-OLD<br />
ANTON sitting with the YOUNG WOMAN Vincent had previously<br />
dated.
