What's he got against me... I mean, I 'm
a teenager. You can't be a citizen when
you're only a teenager !

CARMEN
It's not you, Johnny. Your parents are rich
they don't need to be citizens, and that stuff
means a lot to my dad. He's a veteran.

JOHNNY
Well, if your dad doesn't like me, how come
we're such good friends ?

CARMEN
Sometimes I do what I want, eh ?

Carmen steps into the flux. ZAPPP! She's gone.
Johnny grins, happy to be in love.

12 INT CARL'S HOUSE - BASEMENT - DAY - JOHNNY

is hard-wired to the stacks of processing units that comprise Carl's
basement workshop. Carl concentrates on the image of a playing card,
the six of diamonds, displayed on a monitor.

CARL
Don't think about it... go on instinct.

JOHNNY
Ace of spades.

The ace of spades appears, and the computer indicates "no match".
Carl puts another card up, the jack of diamonds.

CARL
Statistically speaking you should've accidentally
guessed right by know.

JOHNNY
In addition to "psychic dolt" this test also proves
I'm unlucky ? Two of hearts.

Wrong again.

CARL
Luck is not a factor. No one really knows why
some people are sensitive and some aren't.
Federal studies like this might provide a clue.

The next card up is the nine of clubs.
