Ava
- Caleb: I grew up in Portland, Oregon. No brothers or sisters. My parents were both high school teachers. And if we're getting to know each other, I guess I should tell you that they're both dead. Car crash when I was 15. In fact, I was in the car with them. Back seat. But it was the front that got the worst of it.
- Ava: I'm sorry.
- Caleb: It's alright. I spent a long time in the hospital afterward. Nearly a year and I got into coding. And by the time I got into college, I was pretty advanced.
- Ava: An advanced programmer.
- Caleb: Yes.
- Ava: Like Nathan.
- Caleb: Yes... No. It's different. Nathan wrote the Blue Book base code when he was 13. Which, if you understand code, what he did was like Mozart or something.
- Ava: Do you like Mozart?
- Caleb: I like Depeche Mode.
- Ava: Do you like Nathan?
- Caleb: Yes, of course.
- Ava: Is Nathan your friend?
- Caleb: My friend? I... yeah, I hope so.
- Ava: A good friend?
- Caleb: Yeah... well, no, no, no... I mean, not a good friend... A good friend is... We only just met each other, you know. So it takes time to be able to... to get to know each other I guess.
- Ava: Do you want to be my friend?
- Caleb: Of course.
- Ava: Will it be possible?
- Caleb: Why would it not be?
- Ava: Our conversations are one-sided. You ask circumspect questions and study my responses.
- Caleb: Yes.
- Ava: You learn about me and I learn nothing about you. That's not a foundation on which friendships are based.
- Caleb: So what? You want me to talk about myself?
- Ava: Yes.
- Caleb: Where... Okay, where do I start?
- Ava: It's your decision. I'm interested to see what you'll choose.
- Caleb: Okay, Ava. Well, you know my name
- Ava: Yes.
- Caleb: I'm 26. I work at Nathan's company. Do you know what Nathan' s company is?
- Ava: Blue Book. Named after Wittgenstein's notes. It's the world's most popular internet search engine, processing an average of 94% of all internet search requests.
- Caleb: That's exactly right.
- Ava: Where do you live, Caleb?
- Caleb: Brookhaven, Long Island.
- Ava: Is it nice there?
- Caleb: It's okay. I got an apartment. It's kind of small. It's very small, but it's a five minute walk to the office and a five minute walk to the ocean, which I like.
- Ava: Are you married?
- Caleb: Uh... no.
- Ava: Is your status single?
- Caleb: Yes.
- Ava: Do you think about me when we aren't together? Sometimes at night, I'm wondering if you're watching me on the cameras - and I hope you are.
