INT. HOUSING PROJECT - APARTMENT. DAY.<br />
JEROME practises writing with his right hand, trying to<br />
replicate Eugene's signature.<br />
EUGENE<br />
(wheeling <strong>by</strong>, looking<br />
over Jerome's<br />
shoulder at the<br />
signature)<br />
It needs work.<br />
JEROME<br />
(rueful)<br />
You had to be a right-hander.<br />
EUGENE<br />
Noone orders southpaws anymore.<br />
INT. HOUSING PROJECT - APARTMENT. DAY.<br />
A pair of spectacles lie on the bed. JEROME, still wearing<br />
his twin casts, sits behind an optometrist's portable<br />
examining device. GERMAN hovering in the background, an<br />
OPTOMETRIST custom-fits JEROME with gossamer thin contact<br />
lenses.<br />
JEROME (VO)<br />
Myopia is a dead giveaway - one of<br />
the earliest and most justifiable<br />
of the quality-of-life<br />
corrections. Anybody with<br />
impaired vision is certain to be<br />
suffering from all the other<br />
deficiencies of a "nonadvantaged"<br />
birth.<br />
GERMAN<br />
(inspecting the lens<br />
in Jerome's eye)<br />
It's no good. I can see an edge.<br />
He may as well walk in there with<br />
a cane.<br />
INT. HOUSING PROJECT - APARTMENT. DAY.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Optometrist has been replaced in the living room with a<br />
BLACK MARKET DENTIST who bonds JEROME's small, gapped teeth<br />
to match EUGENE's perfectly straight, white picket fences.
