EUGENE<br />
(teasing)<br />
You are a catch. No doubt she's<br />
worried that she would lower the<br />
standard of your offspring.<br />
Everybody wants to "breed up".<br />
(idly curious)<br />
What's wrong with her?<br />
JEROME<br />
(trying to be blasé)<br />
You know how it is with these<br />
altered births --somebody told her<br />
she's not going to live forever<br />
and she's been preparing to die<br />
ever since.<br />
EUGENE<br />
You're not thinking of telling<br />
her, are you?<br />
JEROME<br />
Of course not. But she's have to<br />
know eventually.<br />
EUGENE<br />
(adamant)<br />
She doesn't have to know. She<br />
doesn't want to know.<br />
<strong>The</strong> camera travels down Jerome's scarred legs to find that<br />
the pool is completely drained. We now realize that it never<br />
contained water.<br />
A BARREN WASTELAND.<br />
A desolate landscape, resembling the surface of the planet<br />
Mars. We pull back to find that we are peering at this<br />
forbidding desert through a circular aperture.<br />
INT. CRIME LAB. DAY.<br />
<strong>The</strong> INVESTIGATOR lifts his head from the eyepiece of an<br />
electron microscope through which he has been examining a<br />
tiny fragment of skin - the skin is identified as belonging<br />
to 20-YEAR-OLD VINCENT. DETECTIVE HUGO stands at the<br />
Investigator's side - his attitude more respectful in light<br />
of the discovery.<br />
Detective Hugo points out a location on a computer-generated<br />
map.
