"I'll tell you what." "You find Patient Zero," " I'll find a way to get the drugs to Africa." " You got a deal." " Where is she now?" " She's dead." "It's a sick fucking disease." "Ruby ate all that infected chicken..." "We need answers... please." "Look, you've got to exhume that body." "We need a sample of the brain tissue." "What we should do, is..." "We should..." "Do you know what's it's like to lose a child?" "I know if I lost my son," "I'd hardly be able to breathe." " You're not divorced." " No." "I did not deceive Nicole by enjoying an evening with you." "No." "You deceived me." "What?" "Your father's a fucking genius." "Logically we assume that there is no logic..." "We try every drug." " That's crazy." " Thank you." "He had a stroke." "Never woke up again." "He had a stroke ?" "Oh, Bob, what are you doing here?" " He's so young." " Bob, meet Glenn." "Hi, Glenn." "You should think about the future." "Now Richard has one." "Hello." "Thank you for coming this evening." "The impact of the South Asian haze can be defined as follow." " Bob." " Follows." "Spatial and temporal mean solar energy is reduced by as much as 14 megawatts to the negative power of 2." " Bob." " What?" "Eyes, Bob.Eyes?" "Look out." "Out here." "You gotta make eye contact, Bob." "Establish trust." " Speak to me." " But I have to look at my notes." "Remember?" "You said so, "Write it all down."" "Yes." "I did say that." "I also said "Refer to your notes"." "Not attach yourself to them like some kind of mollusk." " Yeah." " Taxi." "Be right down." "So look at me, OK?" "Or anybody." "Somebody." "You're going to be speaking to a room full of your peers, Bob," " so own the room." " Okay." "This is a very incredible thing you've done." "The impact of the South Asian Haze can be defined as follows..." "Oh, sorry." "The cloud estimated to be 3 km thick, is responsible for hundreds of thousands" " of deaths of severe respiratory disease." " Slower, Bob." "Asia's Brown haze is altering the weather, creating acid rain." "The dangerous haze lies over the entire Indian Subcontinent," " from Sri Lanka to Afghanistan..." " Better." "Oddly it has sparked flooding in Bangladesh, Nepal and" " Look up." " I am." " You're not." " I'm gonna be car sick." " Bob!" " I can't do this." "Sure, you can." "I'm hungry." "I need a shower." " I need to talk to Caroline." " What?" "Why?" "I'm nervous." "Nervous is good." "It's charming." "I'm not -- what did you say -- "modulating" my voice?" "We talked about this, Bob." "They're gonna have a microphone for you on the podium." "Sure." "That will be good." "Something to hold on to." "And I'll be right there for you." "You will?" "Yeah!" "Hand-to-heart, front row." "So if you even start feeling the slightest bit, you know, uncertain, you just look out for my smiling face." "OK?" "I can't do this." "Yes you can, Bob." "Come on, Bob." "Come on, Bob." "Please..." "Let's go, time is money." "Thanks." "2.04 Dim  Dimmer" "Carlos?" "Carlos." " Hi." "Do you have a sec?" " Uh, I was just about to" "Great." "Listen..." "Hum" "I" " Well, for the last six months," "I've been conducting a study for the Diabetes Society." "Attempting to differentiate and stabilize pancreatic cells in culture..." "Yes, that's right." "Insulin producing cells." "And..." "I think I've done it." "Insulin producing cells in the pancreas." "Jill, you're talking about a cure for juvenile diabetes." "I know." "But I said I "think"." " You think?" " Yeah." "I mean..." "The protocols need to be" " Of course." " Looked at." "You know, again." " Naturally." " You know..." "I've checked them." "I have checked them..." "I've rechecked them," " and triple checked them." " Yes." "It's time to publish!" "You put this in Science or Nature or" " No, no." "Not yet." " Of course "yet."" "No." "I haven't even told David." "And..." "Before this goes out to anyone," "I really need to make sure that it's sound." " Yes..." " Will you help me?" "Of course I'll help you, Jill." "We will go check everything." "Come on!" "The House of Poe." "There should be one not too far from here." "We have 3 hours before the conference." "That should give us enough time." " Eat your breakfast." " There was a cottage in the Bronx and a farm on the Upper West Side." "Gimme that." " And a house on West 3rd." " You can't eat it like this." "Of course it was called Amity Street when he" " What did you say?" "I said, you can't eat it just like that, you got to put stuff on it" " and grow hair on your chest!" " Oh." "Poe is a genius, ahead of his time." "To this day I can still quote The Raven." "Or perhaps I should I say: "quoth"?" "Perhaps you should shut the fuck up and eat your breakfast or we're not going" "Hey!" "Come on Bob!" "Oh!" "Shit!" " Maybe it's for the best." " For the best, Bob?" " Well..." " My cell phone, passport, ticket home, your slide presentation." "Maybe we should go back." "How could he just disappear like that?" "We passed a subway entrance half a block back." "No, no, I had him in my sights the whole time." " There!" "There!" " Where?" "Come on Bob!" "David, stop!" "You don't know what's in there." "Fuck it." "Nice..." "You're paying for the shirt, asshole." "So you're staying in Toronto a few more days?" "Yeah, yeah." "I got a couple of colleagues in from Germany that I haven't seen for years." "Thanks man." "Thought I'd catch up with them while they're in town." "Then, back to London." "Right." "Yes." "Yep." "But..." "But I'll probably be back." "You know?" "You don't want me here." "I do." "I do." "But you have a wife and having you here would just force me to do things beyond my control." "I wouldn't want to resent you for driving me to those places." "You know?" "So..." "I think... the best thing you can do for me... is to stay far, far away." "That sucks a great deal." "Here I'll go down on you..." "With!" "With... uh..." "Go down with you." "Hey!" "I'm not quite sure how to say this, so I'm just..." "I'm just going to say it." "What?" "I think you've found the cure to juvenile diabetes." "I think that's the nicest thing anybody's ever said to me." "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "And there's no doubt in your mind?" "Jill, you proved you could generate 95% of insulin producing cells." "Ninety-five percent, Jill!" "I know." "I know." "I know." "But there's still so many questions." "I mean, how stable are the cells?" "How much insulin are they producing?" "Further study is needed." "But the evidence is clear, at least, to me." "Okay." "And you don't think..." "Think what?" "Think what?" "That in my eagerness to get results, I mean the results that I wanted" "I have seen all your work, okay." "You took your time." "I personally would have no problem putting my name to this." "Really?" "You're going to win the Nobel Prize for this, Jill." "I'm going to win the Nobel Prize!" "I have to call somebody." "I have to..." "Who do I call?" " Your mother?" " No." " My mother?" " Ha!" "Ha!" "No, no." "Wait, wait, wait." "Yeah?" "Hello?" " Yeah?" " Who is this?" "Who are you looking for?" "I'm sorry, I must have the wrong number." "Yeah, you must." "Wait." " David?" " Hmm-hmm." "What?" " It's the same guy." " Is this you again?" "Who am I speaking to please?" "Who are you speaking to?" "Uh..." "The party to which you're connected to, bitch." "O h..." "Look..." "Hello?" "Hey, kid!" "I'll stay all day, if I have to." "What the fuck am I doing down here?" "Playing hero?" "Yeah, good science cop, that's me." "Well, either David's lost his cell phone or he's finally hitting puberty." "Do you think we need to be worried?" "For David?" "He'll be fine." "You're right." " You trying him again?" " No." "No..." "Diabetes Society." "The Guy who's funding me is under a lot of pressure to get results." "Hello Norm." "Hi." "It's Jill Langston, calling." "Well, I may have some good news for you." "The most direct effect is a significant radiation in the solar reduction reaching the..." "The most direct effect is a significant reduction in the solar radiation reaching the Earth's sur... face." "I can help you with your homework." "Oh." "It's not homework." "It's a report." " About what?" " The Asian Brown Cloud." "She works at Maxie's on 27th?" "Huh?" " She's a stripper, right?" " Stripper?" "No." "No, she's a..." "It's a massive cloud of air pollution that threatens 60% of the world's population." "No shit." "Oh, completely." "It significantly reduces the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth's surface." "You mean sunlight?" "Sure." "Then there's the increased danger of thermal inversion." "Uh-huh." "Would you like to hear about thermal inversion?" "Hell yeah." "Okay." "Hit me." "Good afternoon." "Thank you for coming." "The impact of the South Asian Haze can be defined as follows." "Spatial and temporal mean solar energy is reduced by as much as 14 megawatts to the negative power of 2." "Two independent model studies that the..." "You really think it's safe to be down here?" "Well, I'm a Canadian." "We tend to give people the benefit of the doubt." " Big mistake." " I want my bag back, kid." "You David Sandstrom?" "Okay." "Who are you?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "You want your bag back or what?" "Owen." "He don't belong down here." "Don't worry about it." "He's with me." "You better not go tellin' nobody we're down here." "I wouldn't think about it." "Look, he's a doctor." "I need him." "He's not welcome down here." "Yeah." "It's cool man." "Come on." "Look, kid, just give me my shit back, okay." "I'm not gonna call the cops." "How'd you know I was a doctor?" "Oh." "Right." "So what are you?" "Fifteen?" "Sixteen?" "Fuck you." "Fifteen!" "This is a cozy place you got here." "How many people you got squatting down here, anyway?" "You know what, just give me back my stuff and I'll go." "Fuck." " What?" " Celine Dion." "Coldplay." "Bjork." "Chick pod." "What's wrong with Bjork?" "I will pay you for the fucking bag, okay." "Name your price." " I don't want your money." " What do you want then?" " FIN PARTIE 1" "She's sick." "Sick?" "Oh, shit." "You..." "You think I'm a doctor doctor, right?" "That's what it says on your dog tags." "Ph.D., not M.D." "I don't run around with a stethoscope and an insurance form." "I'm a molecular biologist, kid." "Have you tried taking her to a clinic?" "Yeah, free clinic." "Walk-in place for people with no insurance." " Must have been a long line." " Yup." "Around the block and by the time they got to her she couldn't stand on her own two feet." "They took her for a junkie and then they washed their hands of her." " Just like you." " Hey." "You're missing the point." "You telling me that you haven't had any medical training?" "That in your line of work, you can't tell what's making somebody sick?" "Okay." " Okay, what?" " Okay." "Sunshine and me... we survived down here together." "It's okay." "We need each other." "It's okay." "It's okay." "You really need to get her out of here into a hospital have her checked out." "I already told you." "She's been checked out." "I mean, They said there was nothing they could do." "I mean..." "Read her file." "Do you see anything wrong with her?" "Just do me a favor and read it." "No." "Sunshine, stop." "Sunshine." "Sunshine, no." "No, no, no, no." " Don't bite yourself." " Okay." "Alright." "Just have to take a look at something here." "It's okay." "It's okay..." "Dude, she doesn't shoot." "Well, her file says there were traces of cocaine and methedrine in her blood." "So..." "Yeah, well she doesn't shoot." "I mean, she might take a toke, or whatever, but just recreational." " Hey, hey, hey!" " How long's she been like this?" "A couple of weeks ago, she started feeling bad." "And then she started getting dizzy and she lost her appetite." "Is she getting any fluids?" "She's getting them but she's not keeping them down." "Sunshine, you gotta stop." " She's doing this a lot, eh?" " With her shoulders?" "Yeah." "Sunshine, my name is David." "Can you hear me?" "Hurts..." "Hurts?" "Where does it hurt, Sunshine, where's the pain?" "Get it out..." " Get it out of me!" " No." "No." " Get it out of me!" " No." "Sunshine..." "Sunshine." "You gotta stop, okay." "You gotta stop." "That's it, we're taking her up." " Up?" " Up." "Up." "As in, up." "Look, the's nothing in her blood, there's nothing in her file." "Her white cells are okay, there's no infection..." " Then what the hell is wrong with her?" " I don't know." " Maybe it's in her head." " Dude, she's not fucking crazy, okay." "Look, drugs, malnutrition." "She needs to see a fucking doctor." "I already told you, she's been to see a doctor." "Fuck this shit, we're taking her to a hospital." " No." "A fucking mental hospital?" " Gimme my phone." "Okay?" "I'll make some calls." "I'll get her in somewhere." "My phone?" "Look, I didn't take anything." "Oh." "I appreciate that." "Come on, let's get her up." "Hey, hey." "I got it." "Okay, Sunshine." "Come on." "We got to get up now." "We got to get up." "Come on." "Okay?" "It even affects the size of raindrops." "How's that?" "It's complicated." "Did that hurt?" "I'm thinking about getting a tattoo." "But I heard it really hurts." "It's not so bad." "I mean, it depends where you get it." " Like I have one right here..." " Yeah?" "And that one hurt really bad." "David!" "What happened?" " Bob, I'm surprised at you." " Why?" "Oh." "No." "This is Sandy." "We were talking about the Asian Brown Cloud and tattoos." " Of course you were, Bob." " You got the bag!" " Are the slides in there?" " I got everything, Bob." "Plus a little extra." "Oh." " Honey, you don't look so good." " David?" " I'll explain on the way." " On the way?" " Where do we get a cab around here?" " Oh, I can help you out." "I have a way with cab drivers." "Yeah, get me the number for Bellevue." "So what were you guys doing down there?" "They live down there, Bob." "Really, I heard about that once." "But I thought it was an urban legend." " Do I look like an urban legend?" " No." "You get a free ride wherever you want to go." "Oh, great." "Great." " Thanks for listening." " Sure." ""Asian Brown Cloud."" "It's a good name." " Good luck, Bob." " Bye." "So..." "What's a psychological profile?" "It's all good." "It means they'll watch her." "Give her medication for anxiety, depression, whatever they think is going on." "Yeah, but I don't want them to mess with her head." "Owen, listen to me." "She's in a good place." "That's what you want, right." " Yeah." " Then don't do this." "Let the doctors check her out and see what's in her head." " What if they send her back?" " What do you mean?" "She ran away a year ago." "And her parents, she's been talkin' to them." " They want her to come home." " That wouldn't be so bad, would it?" " Dude, she hates them." " Why, are they abusive?" "No." "They just." "They freak her out." "I'm old enough to be your dad, right?" " Do I freak you out?" " No, you've been all right." "Well, I got a daughter about your age and I totally freak her out, don't I, Bob?" "Totally." " Where is she?" " She lives in B.C. with her mom." "Who, by the way, freaks her out even more than me." "You see?" "It's what parents do, man, it's part of the job description." "Can I buy you a cab ride home?" "No." "I'm going to go see how Sunshine's doing." "Alright." "Well, go buy her a magazine or some candy or something." "Thanks." "Really." "Thanks man." "Sure." " We got to go." " Yeah." "I've already missed 2 lectures, David." "Where are we?" "I really don't want to miss one this afternoon." "I've got to go back to the hotel and take a shower." "How sure are you?" "David." "Hi." "What's going on?" "I tried calling you." "Yeah, yeah." "That's a long story." "Look, you really think you've got it?" "Well, there's still some work to be done but..." " How soon can you get down here?" " You want me to fly to New York?" "Yeah, you can get down here in what, probably a few hours right?" "I've got to see that data." "I mean..." "A cure for Diabetes can't wait till I get back." "And over this period, I measured a 2 to 3% drop in sunlight, worldwide." "Rates vary, and exact measurements are difficult due to calibration problems with the instruments and a correspondent problem of spatial coverage." "Experiments in the Maldives in the 1990s showed that the effect of macroscopic pollutants in the atmosphere at that time, blown south from India, caused about a 10% reduction in sunlight reaching the surface in the area under the pollution cloud." "A much greater reduction than was expected." "She's good." " You're amazing." " Stop it." "No, I'm serious." "Parker  Norberg in Geneva, and the "Alberta Boys" up in Edmonton." "They've been trying to produce stable, insulin-producing cells for years, and you did it." "You did it." "And combining elements from two different stem cell lines..." "It's fucking brilliant, Jill." "Take me through it." "Ah, well, I was able to develop cells from Line A into pancreatic beta cells." "But we couldn't get them to stabilize, let alone grow." "So... we found Line B, which produced a factor that, when added to Line A, not only stabilized the beta cells, but stimulated insulin production." "Uh..." "Fit tab B into slot A." " So it would seem." " So the question is, what's in the supernatant of Line B that's inducing Line A cells to grow?" " That is the question, yes." " And you will find the answer." "We got to celebrate." "Champagne?" "David..." " What?" " Well..." "You and me in a hotel room." "Champagne." "A fucking cure for diabetes." "Yeah a fucking cure for diabetes." " Where did you get them?" " Them?" " The stem cells." " Ah, the stem cells." "Line A's from San Francisco." "It was one of the few that Bush sanctioned." " Line B?" " Korea." "Not sanctioned." " By the U.S." " Right." "Fuck em." "We're not doing work in the U.S." " David..." " No." "All I want you to worry about right now is figuring out what makes it tick." "Okay?" " Okay." " And whatever you do, don't mention this to the Diabetes Society." "Right?" "Right." "Because the last thing you need right now is a press conference screaming "Miracle Cure for Diabetes!"" "But what you do deserve, is a toast." "A small toast of Champagne to celebrate the single most amazing and incredible thing you have ever done." "Wow." "Okay, one drink and I'm out of here." "Has this happened before?" "Before I had hil transferred from Boston." "No!" "No one at your facility ever told me Glenn had a lung infection." "I don't care how common of a problem it is." "I'm his legal guardian." "It would have made sense to call me and tell me about his condition." "No, I did not sign a do not resuscitate form." "No, you don't have to check his file." "Just get me Dr. Bennett." " Doctor..." " Doctor..." "Bob!" " Shit." "For real?" " Hey Bob!" "I'm up." "I'm up." "I'll be right there." "Shirt!" "Yeah." "No, no." "I'm up." "I'm up." "Just..." "Oh..." "Oh." "What are you doing here?" " Can I come in?" " You're, uh... in." "How did you find me?" "I looked through your stuff." "Hotel receipt." " What's going on?" " Uh." "It's not mental." "Are you..." "Has the doctor checked her out?" "No, no. listen..." "Billy." "He's got it too." " Billy?" " Down in the tunnels." "He doesn't do drugs or nothing." "And he's got it, like the exact same thing." "Look, Owen, I don't know what to tell you, man." "You were wrong." "You said it was because she was crazy." "No." "I said she was..." "I said that her blood work didn't show any signs of infection and that her vital signs were all" "Look." "The point is that you can't catch craziness from someone else." "I wouldn't be too sure about that." "Hello." "This is Jill." "My..." " ...associate." " How do you do?" "Hi." " What's going on?" " Hmm." "Can we just go see Billy?" "Morning, Bob." "Hi Jill." "What are you doing?" " What's going on?" " That's a good question." "Oh well, okay." "I'll come back later." " No, Bob, what is it?" " It's okay." "Come in, Bob." "Come in." "Come in." "Could you please go get a cab?" "And could you please, go with her, and I'll be right there, I promise." "Yes." "Let's do that." " Hi Bob." "Bye David." " Bye Jill." " What's going on, Bob?" " I'm meeting Heather." "She's incredible." "She's right there with me on global warming." "We're having breakfast." "I think we can work together." "I'm nervous." "You got a date!" "No, no, no." "That's okay, okay?" "Okay." "Okay, so you want to just take things nice and slowly." "Right?" "You don't want her to know you're coming on to her." "But I am." "Aren't I?" "You've got to relax, Bob." "You've got to relax." "You want to call Caroline?" " I already have." " All right, well, look." "You just asked her out for breakfast." "Just sit back and enjoy your meal together, okay?" "See where it goes from there." "Do you think she likes oatmeal?" " Gimme a break, Bob." " Here she is." "Okay." "Remember, it's just like giving a talk, right?" "Confidence, eye contact, humour." "Ha, ha." "You'll do just fine." "I'll see you in a little bit." "Okay?" " Dr. Melnikov." " Bob." " It's a pleasure." "Heather Michelle." " I know." "Ha!" "Thank you." " I was very flattered by your note." " Oh, likewise." "I mean, I was flattered by your talk." "I mean, not flattered, but impressed." "Well, thank you." "Yeah." "You know, I'm working on an inversion theory, and I think I heard something in your presentation that is directly connected to something in my work." "Well, I'd love to hear it." "Do you like oatmeal?" "It's my favorite." " FIN PARTIE 2" "Could be neurological." "Billy, do you get a lot of mosquitoes down here?" "Shit." "It's the same as Sunshine." " It started the same way." " It's not West Nile." "It's almost epileptic." "We should get some blood work done on him." "Listen..." "It's the same as Sunshine started and it's not in the blood, and it's not in the fucking brain." "Hey Owen..." "Relax." "We're here to help." " What's your chart saying?" " I don't see anything." "Looks like they did all the right tests." "HIV." "TB." "Immunoglobulin M and G antibodies." " Okay." "So I went to brain damage." " It makes sense." "But this guy isn't as bad off as the girl." " Owen, how long has Billy been down here?" " He's new." "Couple of weeks." " And Sunshine?" " I don't know, a year." "Why?" "Yeah, what are you thinking?" "Just thinking." "We can put Billy and Sunshine under a microscope." "Check their DNA, see if they got anything in common." "40 year old male, 15 year old female, that's a long shot." "What else do you think they might have in common?" "They both live in this shithole." "Sorry." "Environment." "We going to need to collect things, Owen, okay?" "Air, water, wall scrapings, rat shit, whatever's down here we need a piece of it." " You got any baggies?" " Yeah." "Okay." "And Owen, I need blood and urine samples from Billy to compare with Sunshine." " How are you going to take the blood?" " Oh, shit." " I can get a needle." " A clean one?" "Yeah." " What?" " You're amazing." "What?" "Look where we are, David." "This is the actual asshole of New York City." "Yeah, I couldn't get tickets to The Lion King, so..." "So where do we start?" "Hmm!" "Maybe with something about last night?" "What is there to say?" "Uh..." "Something.." " Okay, here's the thing..." " Right." "When you came down to New York, I never thought for a second but..." "I see you found the baggies." "Let's get to work." " I'll get, ahem..." " I'll go this way." "How does solar heating in the haze affect the monsoon rainfall?" "How does the reduction of solar energy to the surface" " affect the water table?" " Right." "Does the haze amplify or ameliorate the warming due to the greenhouse gases?" "What if we started a working group?" "You and me?" "Yeah." "I'd love to come and see this weather tank you're building." "I mean, who knows, maybe there's a way that I can use it in my work." "If that's not too much of an imposition." "Not at all." "I wish we would have met at last year's conference." "Ten years ago, when global warming first surfaced to the Earth as a threat to our environment." " We can't ignore the politics of this." " Of course not." "No, we've got to push for legislation, and get the fat cats to realize that this problem is..." "Ha!" "Oh my..." "We're running late for the morning sessions." "The time just flew." "Bob, this is the start of something." "I know it, I feel it." "That's the great thing about these conferences, isn't it?" "What's that?" "We might never have met otherwise." "Heather!" "Yeah?" "You'll be at my talk this afternoon?" "Are you kidding?" "I wouldn't miss it for the world!" "Boo!" "Scared the shit out of you, didn't I?" " How did you do?" " Well, we got a dead rat." "Green slime and some sulfuric water." " Ah." " So what happens now?" "Well, now we take these and run them through some very powerful, very expensive equipment in a lab in Toronto." "Gotcha." "So what're you shooting?" "Me?" "Nothing." "Where did you get the needle?" "See, I knew you were going to front on me for that." " You gotta stop." " I already have." "Owen, what are you doing down here, man?" "Well, seeing as how I live here, I guess it's home." "You don't have any other place you could go, like back home... home?" "North Platte, Nebraska?" "My dad drives a truck, he's never home." "And my mom's..." "She's found the Lord..." "And so it's just better not being around." "Does she know you're here?" " She doesn't care." " How do you know?" "Because every time I go to the bus station," "I see the posters of all the missing kids and runaways of parents who want to find them." "I look and I don't see me." "See." "She probably doesn't even know I'm gone." "So this is home... my home." "You got a cell?" "Come on." "That's my number." "Call me in a week, I'll let you know what we find." "Or..." "You know..." "if you need anything." "But not collect!" " Bye Owen." " Bye." "His EEG was almost flat?" "Oh, my God..." "Why wasn't I told, Doctor?" "Right." "No." "He's... he's doing fine." "It sounds like the same trouble he's had in the past." "So..." "Yes." "I will." "Yes." "Thank you." "Hey." "It's me." "Uh..." "I'm, uh..." "Just... uh..." "Call me when you can." "Okay?" "Bye." "Ah." "You think he'll be okay?" "I don't know." "Well..." "Where should I start with this stuff?" "Have Carlos do the blood." "Check everything with Sunshine's file." "Get Mayko on a computer run for symptoms." "See if she can find anything even remotely close, and..." "You know the rest of the drill." "Sure." "Taxi!" "Nice." " Thank you." " We'll talk." " Okay." "Talk." "Fuck!" "Bob!" "What?" "Oh." "Am I coming?" "Yes!" "Bob Melnikov." "Good afte..." "Good afternoon." "Thank you all for coming." "I promise you an interesting talk even though it might be full of hot air." "Well." "So much for starting off with a joke." "60% of the world's population lives in Asia." " Okay, so..." "Hang on a second." " What are you doing?" "What?" "For the..." "No." "Never mind." "Okay, we'll be back tonight." " Okay." "Okay." " Thanks, Jill." "Over the past three decades large-scale economic developments have transformed Asia, not only on the ground, but in the skies as well." "A large, brownish haze now covers much of this part of the world, posing a threat not only to Asia and her people, but to the entire planet." "Thank you and enjoy the rest of the conference."
