DIRECTOR JOSEF<br />

INVESTIGATOR<br />
At least it's nothing contagious.<br />
DIRECTOR JOSEF<br />
(unduly agitated)<br />
I will not permit any further<br />

<strong>The</strong> INVESTIGATOR ignores Josef and takes a pocket knife from<br />
his jacket. He prises out the "ESC" key from Jerome's<br />
keyboard, places the key in a specimen bag and deposits it in<br />
his jacket.<br />
IRENE<br />
(picking up a phone)<br />

<strong>The</strong> Investigator gently but firmly removes the phone from<br />
Irene's hand and replaces the receiver in the cradle.<br />
INVESTIGATOR<br />
Let's not spoil the surprise.<br />

<strong>The</strong> anxious Director Josef calls out to protest one further<br />
time but the Investigator is on his way out of the door.<br />

before answering the phone.<br />
Hello?<br />
EUGENE
