GATTACA by Andrew M. Niccol - The Script Source

58.
As he takes his place on one of the treadmills and adheres
the cordless electrode to his chest, Jerome surreptitiously
attaches his device to the underside of the running machine's
control panel.
INT. GATTACA - WORK-OUT OBSERVATION ROOM. DAY.
From a mezzanine floor above the work-out room, LAMAR, the
medical officer, monitors computer read-outs displaying the
pace and pulse of the runners on each treadmill machine.
INT. GATTACA - WORK-OUT CENTER. DAY.
One by one the GATTACA EMPLOYEES drop out until JEROME is the
sole remaining runner. Several of the other employees stand
around and watch Jerome run as they towel off.
He appears under little duress, staring directly ahead,
seemingly in a trance. As we focus on his chest, only we are
aware of the sound of his furiously pounding heart making a
lie of his calm exterior.
INT. GATTACA - WORK-OUT OBSERVATION ROOM. DAY.
Jerome's heart registers a far more measured beat on the
computer in the observation room. The DIRECTOR is at LAMAR's
shoulder, beaming proudly.
LAMAR
(marveling at
Jerome's heartrate)
Six miles later it's still beating
like a Goddamn metronome. I could
play piano by that heartbeat of
his.
The INVESTIGATOR and DETECTIVE HUGO enter the observation
room, escorted by IRENE.
DETECTIVE HUGO
Director Josef, this is our lead
Investigator.
The two men exchange a polite handshake. However the
Investigator is immediately taken with the SOLE RUNNER with
his back to him, on the treadmill below.
INVESTIGATOR
How often do you test, Director?
Often.
DIRECTOR JOSEF
