JEROME<br />
--What car?--Go to sleep.<br />
EUGENE<br />
--I walked right in front of it.<br />
I was never more sober in my life.<br />
Jerome looks at Eugene's lifeless legs, trying to cover his<br />
shock at the revelation.<br />
JEROME<br />
It's all right.<br />
EUGENE<br />
(grabbing Jerome <strong>by</strong><br />
the collar)<br />
I'm proud of you, Vincent.<br />
Eugene's head falls back onto the pillow.<br />
JEROME<br />
(smiling to himself)<br />
You must be drunk to call me<br />
Vincent.<br />
But Eugene does not reply, drifting into sleep once again.<br />
Jerome pulls a blanket over him.<br />
On the verge of leaving, Jerome's attention is drawn to a<br />
wall on the far side of the room. Approaching the wall, near<br />
Eugene's mirrored closet, he detects a faint mechanical whir<br />
coming from inside the adjacent condominium. Jerome<br />
contemplates investigating but exits the condominium<br />
instead - climbing the spiral staircase to his own<br />
condominium.<br />
INT. JEROME'S CONDO - LIVING ROOM. NIGHT.<br />
JEROME fastidiously vacuums with an upright cleaner. Using<br />
a hose attachment he cleans around a picture frame that<br />
contains Jerome's original computer keyboard handdrawn on the<br />
flap of a cardboard box.<br />
INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> - COMPUTER COMPLEX. DAY.<br />
In the vast room of COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS we pull-focus to<br />
discover that we have been filming the complex through the<br />
transparent specimen bag containing JEROME'S EYELASH.<br />
On the mezzanine floor overlooking the scene of the crime,<br />
the INVESTIGATOR holds the bag, transfixed <strong>by</strong> the lash.
