Helen asks Paul how business is going. He hasn't completely given up on the vineyard, but he was put off a bit after getting lost in the bush on the way back from it! Helen thinks he should look to expand his present interests - Rosemary happened to mention that she's expanding on the West Coast. It could be a good opportunity to break into the USA scene. Paul is interested - he wanted to go global with the Henson deal, there's no reason he couldn't do it with Rosemary. He wonders why she didn't come to him direct, though.
