Silicon Valley,
the single richest enclave in America.
Tech changed the world, but
so did the bubonic plague.

There are people who have no boundaries.
Can you not touch me?
He's in a very sensitive place.
I'm rich.
People act like we didn't
build everything they touch.

How well do you know Irene Vaggan?
Well enough to know the

You're never gonna see that girl again.
That would not be good for you.
You know, I stopped being
Navajo a long time ago.
I'm so sorry, Jim.

Why not?

I'll take a rain check on the fishing,
just to be safe, huh?
Oh, I'll keep a extra pole ready,

And no.
No is the answer.
