EUGENE<br />
(laughing)<br />
At least you're honest.<br />
(a thought occurs)<br />
Call me <strong>by</strong> my middle name--Eugene--<br />
If you're going to be Jerome, you<br />
may as well start getting used to<br />
it.<br />
[NB: FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SCREENPLAY "VINCENT" IS<br />
REFERRED TO AS "JEROME"].<br />
INT. HOUSING PROJECT - APARTMENT. NIGHT.<br />
JEROME looks through Eugene's personal effects, including a<br />
photograph album. He is drawn to a swimming medal inside the<br />
album at a page displaying a photo of a wealthy, austere<br />
MOTHER - Eugene evidently comes from money.<br />
Even as he wheels into the room in his rickety wheelchair we<br />
see that EUGENE has the bearing of someone of good breeding.<br />
He has a bag of blood on his lap. More blood is being drawn<br />
from his arm through an IV. Eugene catches Jerome looking at<br />
the album.<br />
Eugene wheels away.<br />
JEROME<br />
(guiltily closing the<br />
book)<br />
I have to know where you come from.<br />
EUGENE<br />
If anybody asks, tell them the<br />
truth--your family disowns you.<br />
You are a disappointment, Jerome.<br />
JEROME<br />
(referring to<br />
Eugene's medal,<br />
impressed)<br />
What about this?<br />
EUGENE<br />
Wrong color. It's silver.<br />
(tossing the bag of<br />
blood to Jerome)<br />
It's not easy living up to this.
