77.<br />

JEROME<br />

What exactly is wrong?<br />

IRENE<br />

Nothing yet. I'll start<br />

experiencing symptoms in my late-<br />

fifties. (matter-of-fact)<br />

But unless they come up with<br />

something between now and then, I<br />

won't live much past 67.<br />

Jerome's mouth drops a little, betraying his surprise at the<br />

statement from a woman plainly still in her twenties.<br />

IRENE<br />

Of course I think about it every<br />

day.<br />

JEROME<br />

(still not quite<br />

recovered from his<br />

surprise)<br />

Of course.<br />

INT. POOL. MORNING.<br />

<strong>The</strong> INVESTIGATOR swims his race with the unseen opponent.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Investigator's ASSISTANT, carrying a phone, tries to<br />

attract his attention.<br />

EXT. JEROME'S POOL. MORNING.<br />

JEROME sits at his own poolside in his robe, feet dangling<br />

over the edge, smoking a cigarette. EUGENE, from his<br />

wheelchair, is applying bleach to Jerome's hair and eyebrows<br />

with gloved hands.<br />

At the same time, Jerome plays a sleight-of-hand game with a<br />

syringe.<br />

EUGENE<br />

How was your evening?<br />

JEROME<br />

Complicated. I couldn't stop her<br />

apologizing.
