The two of them running away together would certainly have been a happier ending than Jude Law in an incinerator, although I do like the finale as it stands. I think I just have a fondness for bittersweet endings *g*.
I'd also say, given the tone of the movie it doesn't really lend itself to a happy ending. Given the whole Irene situation, it just smacked a little of "we can't have them be gay, so let's kill one of them off," which was somewhat irritating.
And now that I think about, I think we had Jerome ditch Vincent and run away with Irene, because we felt sorry for her having so little to do and being rather tossed aside at the end.
