INT. HOUSING PROJECT - APARTMENT. DAY.<br />
Hair already bleached and cut to match Eugene's hairstyle,<br />
JEROME sits in a chair against a hastily erected white paper<br />
backdrop. From his wheelchair, EUGENE puts the finishing<br />
touches to Jerome's hair. He wheels himself out of the way.<br />
<strong>The</strong> final accomplice in Jerome's deception, a BLACK MARKET<br />
COMPUTER GRAPHICS DESIGNER, takes Jerome's photo with a video<br />
camera. Manipulating the captured image, the Designer morphs<br />
Jerome's face into the face of Eugene. <strong>The</strong> resulting photo<br />
that spits out of a printer is neither one nor the other but<br />
an acceptable combination of the two.<br />
INT. HOUSING PROJECT - APARTMENT. DAY.<br />
EUGENE is starting to prepare Jerome's specimen bags for the<br />
first time. He winces in pain as he plucks several hairs<br />
from his head. JEROME, now out of his casts, prepares job<br />
applications.<br />
EUGENE<br />
(still grimacing,<br />
referring to the<br />
follicles)<br />
You really need that much?<br />
JEROME<br />
More than that. You'll get used<br />
to it.<br />
EUGENE<br />
(yanking out another<br />
hair)<br />
God, what wouldn't you do to leave<br />
the planet?<br />
JEROME<br />
(inspecting a hair<br />
follicle)<br />
Leave? Just a few million years<br />
ago every atom in this hair--in<br />
our bodies--was a part of a star.<br />
I don't see it as leaving. I see<br />
it as going home.<br />
EUGENE<br />
(marvelling at<br />
Jerome's earnestness)<br />
God, you're serious, aren't you?<br />
Jerome ignores him. Having learnt his lesson, he hands the<br />
envelopes to EUGENE to lick the flaps.
