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.
