DIRECTOR JOSEF (cont'd)<br />

(warming to his theme)<br />

Back to the beginning of the book--<br />

the life we became. With the<br />

original building blocks who knows<br />

how far we can take "the godding".<br />

MISSION COMMANDER<br />

(wry smile)<br />

Even someone as advanced as Jerome<br />

will be last year's model <strong>by</strong> the<br />

time we're done.<br />

JEROME<br />

(smiling back)<br />

I wouldn't get your hopes up,<br />

Commander.<br />

Irene enters the craft.<br />

IRENE<br />

Excuse me, Mr. Morrow. <strong>The</strong><br />

investigators have begun their<br />

testing.<br />

DETECTIVE JOSEF<br />

This is so inconvenient, Irene.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y can make an exception for<br />

Jerome.<br />

IRENE<br />

I'm afraid not.<br />

DIRECTOR JOSEF<br />

I apologize, Jerome.<br />

JEROME<br />

It's not your fault, Director.<br />

(afterthought)<br />

If your predecessor were still<br />

around we may not be going to<br />

Gaspra at all. That's what I would<br />

call inconvenient.<br />

Jerome exits the craft with Irene.<br />

INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> CORPORATION - CORRIDOR. DAY.<br />

A line of MALE <strong>GATTACA</strong> EMPLOYEES snakes out the door and down<br />

the corridor. <strong>The</strong> INVESTIGATOR walks slowly down the line,<br />

trying to eyeball his suspect. Concentrating on the shorter,<br />

dark-haired men in the line, he looks straight past JEROME.
