That is the one. By the way, does anyone know what the significance of Jerome (Jude Law) giving Vincent (Ethan Hawke) a piece of his hair was? Was it just something to remember him by:)?

I don't see how. That is why he left all his blood, skin, urine, etc:).

OK, let me rephrase that, "Well I don't think she went well when exam time rolled around:p." So no-one knows what the significance of the hair was:(?

it was a symblic gesture - by giving vincent the hair he was basically giving himself... like, the whole movie he had given fluid samples and shit, and so after he'd killed himself, he was kinda giving himself to vincent to take with. symbolism people!

Yeah, I was thinking along those lines. I think he was just saying that he will always be there with him:).

There is no one right or wrong answer.

IMO Eugene gave Vincent the hair because he would be the only rightful owner of it after Eugene's suicide. Vincent is now Jerrome Morrow...
