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.
