47.<br />

Familiar with the car, he goes immediately to the trunk to<br />

retrieve Eugene's collapsible wheelchair. Jerome tips the<br />

valet - a credit card wiped through a device.<br />

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

<strong>The</strong> chic, elegant establishment inside belies its darkened<br />

exterior. JEROME wheels EUGENE into a decadent dinner club<br />

full of an odd assortment of people. <strong>The</strong>y are immediately<br />

greeted respectfully <strong>by</strong> MICHAEL, the owner and maitre d'.<br />

Jerome and Eugene are obviously regulars.<br />

MICHAEL<br />

Good evening, gentlemen. Your<br />

table is ready.<br />

(referring to<br />

Jerome's mission)<br />

Not long now, sir. You'll be<br />

upstairs before you know it.<br />

We're going to miss you.<br />

JEROME<br />

Not as much as I'll miss your<br />

Stroganoff. I'd like to take one<br />

of your chefs with me.<br />

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

In a secluded booth JEROME and EUGENE toast from a bottle of<br />

1999 vintage Bordeaux. Eugene drinks longer than Jerome.<br />

Jerome dabs his mouth with a napkin. He fails to notice a<br />

minute FLAKE OF SKIN dislodged from his chin. We follow the<br />

flake as it comes to rest beneath the table.<br />

LATER, Eugene and Jerome watch COUPLES dancing a samba on the<br />

dance floor. A WAITER vacuums the table with a discreet,<br />

handheld miniature vacuum while a WAITRESS clears the plates.<br />

She accidentally drops a knife onto Eugene's leg.<br />

WAITRESS<br />

(aghast at the sight<br />

of his lifeless legs)<br />

I'm so sorry. Did I hurt you?<br />

EUGENE<br />

(smiling, a trace of<br />

bitterness)<br />

Honey, if you'd hurt me, I'd be<br />

cured.<br />

Eugene, the worse for drink, gropes for the waitress's leg<br />

but she easily avoids his clumsy pass.
