INVESTIGATOR (cont'd)<br />

How could something so lovely be<br />

a product of chance?<br />

VALERIE<br />

Is that what keeps you coming back?<br />

(meeting his gaze)<br />

Look at you. Such angry,<br />

beautiful, perfect eyes. Do you<br />

ever wonder what they would see if<br />

they weren't quite so perfect?<br />

<strong>The</strong>y will never see what I see.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Investigator tries to laugh off her assertion but his<br />

tight-lipped smile betrays his displeasure.<br />

INVESTIGATOR<br />

(a cruel edge to his<br />

voice)<br />

You have so much wrong with you,<br />

you'll be lucky to see next year.<br />

He roughly forces himself on top of her but she remains<br />

defiant.<br />

VALERIE<br />

Are you so much more alive,<br />

Investigator?<br />

INVESTIGATOR<br />

(parting her legs)<br />

I'm not paying you to talk.<br />

INT/EXT. IRENE'S CAR. NIGHT.<br />

IRENE drives, JEROME at her side. Cars are being flagged<br />

down <strong>by</strong> uniformed POLICE OFFICERS. Irene slows down behind<br />

the car in front. Spying an OFFICER shine a flashlight in<br />

the eyes of the MALE DRIVER up ahead, Jerome wipes the<br />

contact lenses from his eyes and flicks them out of the<br />

passenger window when Irene is not looking.<br />

An OFFICER approaches Jerome and, without a word, opens an<br />

electronic testing kit worn on his hip. He removes a<br />

sterilized Q-tip and motions for Jerome to open his mouth so<br />

he can scrape a culture. Jerome waves his hand in front of<br />

his mouth, feigning embarrassment.
