Oh, hello. Yes. Hi. I... Oh. I... Oh.

I'm a little starstruck.

Well, I, you were very impressive.

I, I, I, yes.

Hello, I'm Jack.

Nice to meet you.

Probably a better starting off point. Ha, ha.

I, yeah, I didn't expect, what's a brainy gal like you doing in a watering hole like this?

No, no.

I mean, there's no way you could know.

I was just in the audience, but yeah, yeah, I heard you speak. I think you're amazing. I think you did amazing.

This isn't, yeah, you know, those weird people who plan everything out in a conversation and they have kind of

trees of dialogue that branch away and they try and make sure everything fits and then they

have some kind of game plan to go into it, those freaks? Yeah, I'm one of those. I have to admit,

I never thought I'd be talking to you. I mean, I didn't really know who you were until the symposium, but I do now. Did I say hi? I did. Good.

Just, uh-huh.

Oh, ha-ha.

That's my, that's my watch making a little beep because my BPM is up for some reason. Very mysterious while I just kind of toggle that bad boy to sleep. So, can I, can I get you a drink?

Yeah? What are you having? Oh, just, just a scotch and soda.

That's, um, that's like how it works in the movies.

You don't have your own drink.

Not your thing, huh?
