Jerome departs.<br />
LAMAR<br />
(walking Jerome to<br />
the door)<br />
If everything goes to plan, this<br />
could be the last time I see you<br />
for a while. One week to go.<br />
Please tell me you're the least<br />
bit excited.<br />
JEROME<br />
I'll tell you at the end of the<br />
week.<br />
INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> - REST ROOM. DAY.<br />
JEROME enters the rest room and glances at the toilet stalls.<br />
Only three in the bank of twenty is occupied. He tarries at<br />
the mirror above the uniform line of basins, unnecessarily<br />
reknotting his tie.<br />
A toilet flushes and a COLLEAGUE exits one of the stalls. He<br />
and Jerome exchange a nod. When the man has exited the rest<br />
room, Jerome enters the man's vacated stall.<br />
INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> - TOILET STALL. DAY.<br />
JEROME immediately feels around the back of the toilet bowl<br />
and detaches a secreted stainless steel container.<br />
With surprising swiftness and dexterity, Jerome removes an<br />
extremely fine contact lens from each eye and drops the pair<br />
into the toilet bowl. He inserts two replacement lenses from<br />
the container and reattaches it in its hiding place. Jerome<br />
flushes the toilet and exits the stall. He checks in the<br />
mirror that his new contact lenses are properly inserted.<br />
INT. <strong>GATTACA</strong> - CORRIDOR. DAY.<br />
Walking back along one of the long, glass-walled corridors,<br />
JEROME becomes aware of a peculiar noise in the complex -or<br />
to be more precise, a lack of noise. <strong>The</strong> incessant tapping<br />
of computer keys has stilled.<br />
As Jerome gazes through the glass walled corridor, we see the<br />
reflection of his face, deep in thought.
