Advantageous Page #2
I'm sorry. Yes?
Your recent physical
pre-qualifies you to be...
...a paid egg donor.
An egg donor?
until we find you something...
...more permanent.
Many women are not able
to have children anymore.
And due to the great demand,
the donor age threshold...
...has risen.
Miss Koh?
How long does the process take?
Three months.
You'll be paid after the harvest.
That's not soon enough.
Can we just focus on the jobs...
...that I've outlined on my form?
Certainly.
Take what you can get.
Have a lovely day, Miss Koh.
Are you okay?
Are you?
Username, please.
Gwen Koh.
That entity does not exist.
Please try again.
Gwen Koh.
That entity does not exist.
Hello Gwen.
Evan, my ID's not scanning.
What can I do for you?
Is Dave Fisher in?
He's offsite at the lab.
Is that wardrobe?
Yes.
Please hold.
Thank you.
Closer.
Closer.
I found a solution to our problem, Fisher.
I'm sorry.
I'm a bit surprised.
I've rarely seen you over the years.
The dungeon's being renovated.
Yours too?
How's the job search?
Well, there's been interest
in the past. So...
I'm not worried.
You've been pursued?
By companies at our level?
Well, I'm hardly surprised.
People connect to you.
The question that we have
to answer is in this current...
...job market,
with shifting desirability
targets, can they get ahead...
...looking like you?
And at your age?
My position here wasn't only
about being a face.
And the knowledge
I've acquired here,
I can carry into other positions.
Teaching, for instance.
You've taught before?
In grad school.
In grad school?
Well, even in the real world,
you won't make close to what
you were making here.
The education profession has
gone pure tech.
There is nothing in our
generation's skill pool...
...that can compete.
Well, there must be something...
...in a mere human existence
that has value.
You and I, in our lifetimes,
will see progress...
...1,000 times greater
than the previous century.
But, because we're mere humans,
we won't be able to comprehend it.
Humans can only grasp
change at a rate they've...
...experienced it.
Which is why they are being left behind.
How is your daughter?
I understand she's quite a talent.
She keeps me alive.
As do my girls.
There is nothing fiercer
than a mother's love.
Hello, Drake.
Hey, Claire.
Uh, no. This is Gwen Koh.
Hello, Gwen.
I see here you just called me.
Drake?
Yes, Gwen.
Have you heard something?
Do I have an interview?
There's been some activity
on your account.
You've received several inquiries.
And one counter endorsement.
Counter endorsement?
A flag has been raised about
a detail on your resume.
It is currently under investigation.
It's a mistake.
I have verifications...
...for everything.
Drake, can I ask who's filed
this counter endorsement?
Huh, would you like me to tell
you my astrological sign too?
I'm sorry?
Are you sorry?
Drake, are you a human being?
That's a funny question.
How do you define...
...a human being?
Do you have blood running
through your veins?
That is a definition of a human being?
I didn't know.
That sounds more like a human being.
Not to know.
Account information.
Gwen Koh.
Balance, please.
Checking or saving...
Combined.
743 units.
Automatic payment will be made after...
Cancel automatic payment.
Canceled.
How long will you
be staying today?
How much is it again?
Alone?
Did you need company?
No.
Did you hear me?
I was terrible.
No, you weren't, where's Ginger?
I told her not to come over.
Holoprof was trying to finish
the 20th and 21st centuries...
...in one class period.
All I remember is the 2033 bubble...
...and the New York
traditionalist movement, which...
...he said is taking over now.
Which I challenged.
backwards going forward?
You're not.
Let's get you something to eat.
Uh, she's not open.
I don't know why I'm alive.
That's a bit extreme.
What happened with Ginger?
There's so much to do.
I need to exercise more,
study more,
I need to do more volunteer work...
...in art.
I need to be smarter, nicer,
prettier and classier.
But what's the point?
Many reasons.
Like?
Music.
Being loved by your
amazing mother.
None of you know what you're doing.
You all pretend to have a plan for us,
but everyone's just
either greedy or desperate.
Why did you have me?
When you knew the world was
so bad and you had...
...to struggle so much.
You're all alone with no one to help you.
There was a time when
I was also confused...
...why I was alive.
And I guess something
in me thought that...
...I mean,
...might make my life more...
...Worthwhile?
You make me very happy.
Archived message.
Hi, this is Lily.
Your one and only cousin?
Happy birthday.
I'm at the restaurant.
It must be really hard to be
on your own these days.
Tomorrow's events.
Eastern Board luncheon.
I hope you have somebody.
Would you like to send a response?
For our next hour,
we'll be discussing the recent
rise in child prostitution...
...in our country.
Its causes, symptoms and...
...One week of water left.
A report last week from...
...the Department of...
...I should get paid tomorrow.
...found that 4% of girls
and boys between the ages...
...of 12 and 18,
will have taken part
in a sex work activity...
...Where did you get this recipe?
My cousin Lily.
Lily from the picture?
Yup. She taught me when I had to work...
...at her restaurant.
Gwen Koh.
How wonderful you could join us.
Oh.
My Amanda has told me so
much about you and Jules.
Gwen is the head of the
Center for Advanced Health...
...and Living.
One of the most forward
thinking companies...
...in our midst.
About to reveal the biotech
bubble of the moment.
You're a scientist?
Oh, not exactly.
Olivia's intrigued by any
woman making her way through...
...the job climate today.
Especially with the backlash
we're experiencing.
I'm sorry.
a while ago,
but her father has clout.
We do what is best for our children.
We do.
We studied Jules' CV,
it's clear your agenda
for your daughter is...
...as your career, unstoppable.
Gwen, the mission of our
bonding camp is hundreds...
...of years old...
...and 100 years into the future.
and girls, in advance of their...
...prep school experience.
Have them introduce their
innate talents and dreams...
...to one another.
cohesify them through their...
...years together in school.
In our world's history,
even when resources...
...were limited,
there's always been room for an elite.
As there's less room now,
we're putting our brains
and our pocketbooks...
...where it counts.
This all sounds good.
Good?
Ideal.
I'm just wondering...
...We've put in 30K each,
we would ask you for 10,
to hold the waitlist spot for Jules.
