INTERNAL MEMO: FIELD OFFICE INTERCEPT, MUMBAI, INDIA

AGENT GULSHAN REPORTING: It seems we have picked up a brainstorming meeting between two Bollywood TV comedy writers, working on a show about nothing.

Mansoor: I walk in and I say, "Namaste."
Sanjay: Then I say, "Namaste."
Mansoor: No, you say, "Hi."
Sanjay: Same thing.
Mansoor: That's OK, you say "Hi."
Sanjay: No, you say "Namaste" and I say "Hi."
Mansoor: OK. So I walk in...

Mansoor then wishes Sanjay a happy birthday ("janamdin mubaarak ho"), Sanjay shows off his broken toe, but said, "Don't touch that" ("Haat mat lagao"). They also decide a whole episode could be about garbanzo beans, "chana." I can't wait to see that one.

This exchange went on for several hours. Surveillance was suspended after it got to be too boring to listen to any more.
