WERNER:

They're a simple people; rather

primitive, not like us.

JULIUS:

My brother will look after me.

13 INT. JULIUS'S HUT - DAY 13

It's a blend of modern technology and the tropical

environment -- floor-to-ceiling book-cases, computers, a

hammock shrouded in a mosquito net.

Julius is hurriedly packing a small leather suitcase,

watched by Werner.

Werner hands over a photograph: it's a picture of a

younger Werner, Traven, and the six fathers.

JULIUS:

It's your only copy --

WERNER:

-- My need for it is only

sentimental -- yours may be

practical --

Julius slips the photo into his suitcase.

JULIUS:

Thank you -- I'll miss you.

WERNER:

(holding back the

tears)

I'll miss you.

They hug as we --

CUT TO:

A14 EXT. TROPICAL ISLAND A14

The water's edge. Julius, Werner, an OLDER LADY, two

scientists and an ORIENTAL man are all saying goodbye.

Julius puts his suitcase into a small rowboat.

OLD WOMAN *

(as Julius hugs her) *

It's sixty miles to the airport, *

Julius; be careful. *

Julius then bows to the Oriental, who bows back.

JULIUS:

(in Japanese;

subtitled)

It was an honor to study under

you, Master.

Without warning, the Oriental tries to strike Julius in

the face with the side of his hand, but Julius blocks

the blow.

ORIENTAL:

(in English)

Ahhh, always on guard. You have

learned well, Julius-san.

Julius gives a last hug to Werner.

JULIUS:

(to Werner)

I was just thinking, maybe my

brother Vincent is married.

WERNER:

And...?

JULIUS:

Well, if a woman loved my brother

enough to marry him, she might

have a sister who'd feel the same

way about me. That often happens

with twins, you know.

WERNER:

Julius -- please -- don't get

your hopes up. Your brother

doesn't even know you exist.

Julius gets in the boat and casts off. The boat takes off

like a streak. Julius, in perfect rhythm, increases the

pace. The boat is almost flying across the water.

JULIUS:

(loudly as he

disappears in the

horizon)

Of course he does. I've always

known there was something missing

in my life! And deep down, I'm

sure Vincent feels the same way!

He's probably just like meeeee!

DISSOLVE TO:

14 INT. BEDROOM (L.A.) - DAY 14

VINCE BENEDICT lies in bed, looking extremely pleased

with himself. A SEXY YOUNG WOMAN is nestled asleep

against him. The digital bedside ALARM PURRS and starts

to PLAY MUSIC -- something romantic that Vince hums along

to.

VINCE:

You sleep well, honey?

CARLA (SEXY YOUNG WOMAN)

Mmmm... like a baby.

VINCE:

Me, too. I love this new

mattress. It's soft but it's hard

at the same time. And I love this

new clock.

Carla snuggles against Vince as he surveys the bedroom

like a house-proud new owner.

VINCE:

You've done a great job on this

room, Carla.

CARLA:

You really think so? Even the

curtains?

VINCE:

The curtains are the key to the

whole thing. They're colorful...

they're brilliant... they're...

great curtains.

CARLA:

(melting)

You were great last night, Vince.

VINCE:

(not disagreeing)

Naaaw...

(putting his arm

around her)

I think we're going to be very

happy here.

Suddenly we hear a DOOR downstairs as it OPENS, and a

man's voice drifts up the stairs:

MAN (O.S.)

Honey! I'm home!

VINCE:

(a bit surprised but

not panicked)

What's he doing back so early?

Vince jumps out of bed, starts pulling on his clothes

while Carla slips into a bathrobe.

MAN (O.S.)

Carla? You gonna cook me some

breakfast or what?
