-Hey, Sydney. How are you?

-Miguel, how are you?

You look good.

Hello honey.

-How are you feeling?

-Take a breath.

Hi, how are you?

Are you okay?

Do you need some water or anything?

Yeah,i'm gonna got to the kitchen.

Why don't you stay with the guests?

Thank you for coming.

-Hi.

-Hi.

Sorry, i'm late.

That's Henry.

-I'm Paul.

-Sydney.

Have a seat?

You've damaged your cornea,

when you were five.

Yeah, my sister and i were

playing with firecrackers.

I tried a transplant,when i was 12.

But i rejected them

-Ayrntl aratrma.

Have you tried again?

No, my sister was really the one

who kept up with all that stuff.

These are Dr. Haskin's test results.

There's nothing physically wrong with you.

Opeartion went flawlessly.

-but you were probably... for a shock

-Why?

You've already felt the information

from sound, smell and touch.

But now,you're gonna be assaulted by a

million things you never even knew existed.

That is an all

new level of confusion.

Do i look here, here,is that bright thing important,

is dark one moving toward me or away from me...

...dangerous or not?

As long as your eyes are open,

there are just too many distractions,

I mean, how do you consantrate?

I'm talking to you...

...and you're looking at that one and

you're thinking if you're gonna eat that.

They are pineapple,by the way.

You cut it open.

I like pineapple.

Sorry.

Anyway,because you can see, people are gonna

expect you to deal things that you can't do

...read signs,recognise body language, people's

gestures and facial expressions...

and they just get out of their way.

Your wyws will wanna dominate...

...how you perceive the world,

but you can't fully trust them, not yet.

And the next few weeks, i gonna help

you to see the world like it really is, okay.

Some of is gonna be wonderful, a lot of is gonna be...

...difficul but the main thing

is to be prepared.

And that's where i come in.

We're in this together.

You scared me.

Have you seen my report card?

Your report card?

-Do you live here,sweetie?

-My father will be so mad at me.

Have you seen my report card?

Sorry.

Let's take five.

I'm sorry, I don't know what's

wrong with me?

Relax.

You're pushing too hard.

You know, when i first went to London

to work with the Filarmonica...

...i was so nervous.

In Prag, i was a big fish, in London

one of the hundreds.

But you did very well in London.

I never thought i would be ready,

but when it was time to go on...

...everything faded away,

it was just me.

When there was nothing

to worry about.

Will you be ready?

We're all counting on you.

-I'll be ready.

-I'm sure you will be.
