Eve, Leonard,  and Vandamm are leaving the lunch room. Roger stands up from the table and heads toward them. He grabs Eve’s arm.  “Just a second, you,” says Roger, spinning Eve around.  “Stay away from me,” says Eve. “You let go! Let go!” Roger drags her back to his table.  Vandamm moves to stop Roger, but Leonard grabs Vandamm and shakes his head “no.” “Stay away from me! Let go!” says Eve, struggling to get out of Roger’s grip. “Let go of me!” “Now, save the phony tears,” says Roger.  “You just get back!” whispers Eve. She reaches into her purse and produces a pistol, aimed at Roger.  Roger looks at the gun in shock. “Why, you little fool!” says Roger.  “You just stay away from me!” says Eve.  Roger takes a step forward.  Eve shoots Roger three times, while screaming. Roger slumps to the floor.  There is pandemonium in the lunch room. People are running everywhere.  Vandamm makes a move to grab Roger.  “No good, sir,” says Leonard, holding Vandamm’s arm. “Can’t get involved in this.” Eve runs to the parking lot, a crowd of people chasing after her.  Next to the prostrate form of Roger on the the floor, The Professor yells at the crowd, “Don’t touch anything!” Eve jumps into a white convertible and leaves the scene.  Leonard looks on as The Professor examines Roger. The Professor wipes off his hands with a handkerchief, and shakes his head sadly.  The  scene dissolves to Roger’s body being loaded into an ambulance in the parking lot.
