It was very short notice.
Apologies, Leena.
We're making last-minute changes to our timetable.
Breanna's job has her traveling a lot lately.
But we're here, and you're here, and we're very glad this is working out.
You're, uh, still prepared to go ahead with the surrogacy? We would have to move forward within the next month.
Well That's a lot to think about in your first few minutes here.
BREANNA: It's important, Conall.
I know.

I'm not much of a chai guy.
Even in India, Sheehans need coffee.
Eh, lots of flavors here.
Is it not strange leaving her alone? Ah, she's not alone.
She'll be chatting for at least 10 minutes.
Sheehan.
That's a very nice name.
It actually means "peaceful child" in Gaelic.
Appropriate, isn't it? Hmm.
Tell me about your town, Leena.
Oh, it's very small, boring, rural.
I'm sure you could read more about it using your HPlus.
Nah.
I fancy talking to people.
I rather Mumbai.
There's more opportunity.
CONALL: And what would you like to do here? LEENA: Oh, I'm not sure yet.
So, what do you two do? Well, ugh, I'm a writer.
And Breanna works for the big company that put these computers into our heads.
Do you write movies? Novels.
A novel.
And you wouldn't find it too interesting, takes place in a small, rural town.
Sounds very boring.
[CONALL CHUCKLES.]
Yes, I'm still here.
You were saying, about Kenneth Lubahn? No.
No, the company has nothing to worry about.
He's harmless.
He's a broken man.
