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.
