He’s taken refuge from the party in this magnificent<br />
library. Everything’s mahogany and leather. The walls are<br />
lined from floor to ceiling with serious old books,<br />
including scientific classics written by Newton, Galileo,<br />
Darwin, and Einstein.<br />
This sanctum sanctorum is like heaven to Walt. A 400-yearold<br />
edition of COPERNICUS’S DE REVOLUTIONIBUS, printed in<br />
Latin, is propped open on a lectern. Walt reverently<br />
touches its yellowed pages.<br />
In this private moment, Walt takes it all in. Jealousy,<br />
regret, the knowledge of what might have been, washing over<br />

A COUGHING JAG jolts Walt out of his reverie. Another<br />

conversation, looking rather serious. Curious, Walt starts<br />
off toward them...<br />
... but he’s intercepted by an old acquaintance, FARLEY HOM<br />
(48). Farley has the same successful air as Elliott,<br />
without the charm. He’s conversing with a group of men who<br />
all look like scientist geniuses.<br />
FARLEY<br />
Walt? I thought that was you.<br />
Farley gives Walt a firm handshake.<br />
WALT<br />
Hey, Farley. Long time no see.<br />
