Conal: I wish there were some private form of voice communication
Conal: that you could quickly reach people for
Conal: a telephonic device, this would be the future
Lucas: there's skype
Lucas: or are you envisioning something more portable
Conal: yes, like something you could have in your pocket at all times
Lucas: genius
Conal: we'll need to keep this invention quiet
Conal: lest Edison find out about it and steal it
Conal: we will not be our generation's Teslas
Lucas: indeed
Lucas: wait
Lucas: can we let my friend in on this? he's trustworthy I promise
Lucas: i've introduced you to Alexander Graham Cell, haven't I? he doesn't really have much to offer but he definitely won't steal our idea
Conal: hmm
Conal: he sounds like an upstanding citizen
Conal: we will inform him, but secrecy is of the utmost importance
