JEROME (VO)<br />
Officially they are called "In-<br />
Valids"*. Also known as<br />
"godchildren", "men-of-god",<br />
"faith births", "blackjack<br />
births", "deficients",<br />
"defectives", "genojunk", "ge-<br />
gnomes", "the fucked-up people".<br />
[* "IN-VALID" pronounced as in "an invalid license"]<br />
JEROME (VO)<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are the "healthy ill". <strong>The</strong>y<br />
don't actually have anything<br />
yet - they may never. But since<br />
few of the pre-conditions can be<br />
cured or reversed, it is easier to<br />
treat them as if they were already<br />
sick.<br />
As they enter a car, driven <strong>by</strong> GERMAN, Jerome spies a<br />
beautiful young GIRL, 11, sitting on the steps of the housing<br />
project, staring forlornly into space. While there is no<br />
outward sign of any deficiency, she is somehow aware that she<br />
is damaged goods.<br />
Jerome glances in the rear-view mirror.<br />
JEROME (VO)<br />
By means of a donor I have cheated<br />
the system for the last four years<br />
to open doors that would otherwise<br />
be closed to me.<br />
Jerome wheels Eugene into the palatial condominium complex<br />
where the two men now reside.<br />
INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong>. PRESENT DAY.<br />
We return to JEROME's reflection in the glass. Other <strong>GATTACA</strong><br />
EMPLOYEES are gradually gathering behind him.<br />
JEROME (VO)<br />
In the guise of Jerome Morror I<br />
have risen quickly through the<br />
ranks of Gattaca. Only one of the<br />
Mission Directors has ever come<br />
close to discovering my true<br />
identity.
