JEROME<br />

(afterthought as he<br />

picks up his jacket)<br />

Will you be okay?<br />

EUGENE<br />

Don't worry about your little pin<br />

cushion. To be honest, I'm looking<br />

forward to having the place to<br />

myself.<br />

JEROME<br />

(seeing through the<br />

bravado)<br />

We'll still be able to talk when<br />

I'm away. <strong>The</strong> conversation will<br />

just keep getting longer.<br />

How long?<br />

EUGENE<br />

JEROME<br />

By the time I'm at the Belt, you<br />

phone and say, "How are you?"<br />

Forty-five minutes later I reply,<br />

"Not bad. How are you?"<br />

EUGENE<br />

I guess I'd better have something<br />

important to say if it takes that<br />

long to get an answer.<br />

INT. MICHAEL'S CLUB. NIGHT.<br />

IRENE and JEROME step off the dance floor of the smoky,<br />

decadent dinner club and take a seat at their table. Irene<br />

is agog at the strange assortment of PATRONS, the cigars, the<br />

laden dessert trolleys. It is all slightly off from the<br />

pristine world she is accustomed to.<br />

IRENE<br />

What is this place?<br />

JEROME<br />

(wry smile, enjoying<br />

her fascination)<br />

You've never been here?<br />

(a dessert trolley is<br />

wheeled up)<br />

Let me order for you.
