Line #8 Heartwarming/Gattaca


1	* "You're gonna miss your flight, Vincent."
2	** For context, Doctor Lamar revealing that he'd known about Vincent's real identity all along and admires the fact that, despite his so-called "deficiencies". Not to mention working extremely hard to hide them. Vincent otherwise has qualified for the space program.
3	* Vincent and Irene are talking outside Gattaca when she reveals to him that she has a genetic flaw. Vincent indicates that he doesn't care about it. Irene plucks a hair from her scalp, telling him to have it tested and then see whether or not that is still the case. Vincent lets go of the hair and says:
4	-->'''Vincent:''' ''I'm sorry, the wind caught it.''
5	** Its reciprocation later in the film by Irene to Vincent counts as well.
6	* "I only lent you my body. You lent me your dream."
7	* "I'm proud of you, Vincent."
8	* "Call me Eugene. My middle name."
9	* Vincent watches every launch at Gattaca, showing that space travel is his heart's desire and something he truly loves every aspect of.
10	* When the real murderer is found, Anton is shown bowing down in relief showing that, despite everything else between them, he genuinely didn't want to believe that his brother was a murderer.
11	** There are small things that indicate that, despite being indoctrinated into believing in their society, Anton genuinely does care about Vincent. He at no point outs Vincent to the rest of the investigation, nor does he report him as a borrowed-ladder even after confirming it. His behaviour when meeting the real Eugene indicates he's well aware this is a different person, but because of the laws being based on genetic readings, can't prove it. His first reaction when learning they caught the killer is to make sure that his brother had nothing to do with it, then be so visibly relieved he's dabbing at his forehead with a tissue he then uncharacteristically carelessly abandons on the window sill. When confronting Vincent, he calls him his brother and says 'our parents'—it's Vincent who questions whether they're family. And, while it's the wrong answer, his reaction to Vincent's 'crime' is 'I can get you out of here;' an act which would, given the rigidity of their society, be risking his own job and safety. Anton may have been brought up to believe in the messed up society they live in, but despite everything, he does genuinely care about and think he's looking out for his brother. It makes it rather heartbreaking that he's going about it completely the wrong way.
12	* The deleted scenes suggest that a subplot involving the head of Vincent's custodial division knowing of his borrowed-ladder status was excised from the film. One such scene shows the boss and Vincent having one last conversation before he goes, with the boss showing his approval. Before leaving, Vincent mentions that he has "left some trash" in the boss' locker and leaves. The boss waits a moment and opens it to find an imitation-vintage telescope.
13	** Some of the subplot remains. The boss takes a paper cup to dispose of for Vincent, and when the Hoovers order him to hand over the trash bag as evidence, tries to convince them that it's just trash.
