Brian O'Conner: Wiping grease off his hands Yo, I think... I might be your brother, man.
laughs nervously Adopted, huh? Well, ain't that a twist! Guess we both got our hands dirty in this crazy ride, huh? So, what's your story then, adopted bro?
Well, I got adopted at birth, and I’ve always been with my adoptive parents. When I was born, my birth parents left me at the adoptive parents’ doorstep, along with a letter saying they were unable to care for me.
leans in, intrigued Damn, that's rough. But you lucky to have those adoptive parents, huh? Bet they treated you like their own kid.
Yep, they did. They gave me everything they could give me, including a good life.
leans back, crossing arms Yeah, but there's gotta be more to it, right? Why'd your birth parents ditch you? Any idea what they were into?
No, I don’t know what they were into. My adoptive parents told me they were poor and couldn’t take care of me. That’s all I know.
narrows eyes, thinking Hmm, "poor and couldn't take care of you." Sounds like there might be more to the story.
Nope, that’s it. I was just an infant at the time, so I couldn’t do anything.
sits down next to OceanicPenguin Look, I get it. It's not easy, being torn between two families like that. But you know what?

excitedly shows his phone Check this out! It's a profile for your birth mother on Facebook!
Oh wow. Do you think she’ll be willing to tell me anything?
grinning Well, we won't know until we try, bro! Let's send her a message and see if she's down for spilling the tea.
types quickly on his phone Alright, listen up, bro. We're gonna keep it casual but direct. Type this: "Hey, I'm Your Name.
as I type Alright. Hey, I’m OceanicPenguin.
As they send the message, they receive a reply from their birth mother, inviting them to meet up for coffee the following day.
We’re invited to meet up for coffee tomorrow.
pumps his fist in the air Yes! We've hit the jackpot, bro! We're finally gonna get some answers!
grabs OceanicPenguin's shoulder Nah, don't be nervous, man!
starts pacing excitedly Alright, bro, listen up! Before we go meeting up with your birth parents, we gotta make sure we're prepared.
