EUGENE<br />

You want to meet a real-life<br />

spaceman?<br />

Jerome, always aware, scanning the club, suddenly spies<br />

NAPOLEON, his Gattaca colleague, on the other side of the<br />

room. Napoleon is taking a hit from a vial concealed in his<br />

hand. Jerome abruptly turns his back to avoid being<br />

recognized.<br />

JEROME<br />

Let's get out of here.<br />

EUGENE<br />

(knocking back his<br />

drink,<br />

misinterpreting the<br />

hasty departure)<br />

You're right, there's more<br />

atmosphere where you're going.<br />

INT/EXT. CAR. NIGHT.<br />

Driving along the freeway, Jerome's car suddenly dives down<br />

an escape road. EUGENE looks sideways at JEROME.<br />

JEROME<br />

You drive.<br />

INT/EXT. CAR. NIGHT.<br />

<strong>The</strong> car careens around and around a small circular<br />

building -a cloud of dust billowing up behind the car. We<br />

focus on a BRICK wedged against the car's gas pedal.<br />

EUGENE is at the wheel, JEROME in the passenger seat.<br />

<strong>The</strong> hard turn is repeated with increasing recklessness,<br />

Eugene fighting to control the bucking car.<br />

EUGENE<br />

(screaming in both<br />

fear and<br />

exhilaration)<br />

I gotta stop!! I gotta stop!!<br />

JEROME<br />

Keep going!! Keep going!!<br />

Finally the car spins to a halt in a cloud of dust. When the<br />

dust settles it is revealed that they have been circling the<br />

base of a huge satellite dish in a desolate location.
