[Jake and Amir are sitting at their desks. Amir is listening to his headphones, bouncing his head to the music, playing air guitar, and making a silly face. Jake is ignoring him.]
(Amir starts chatting with Jake on AIM.)
AMIR: lol.
(Jake winces.)
AMIR: Roflmao.
AMIR: I probably look like such a drok.
AMIR: *dork(Jake starts responding to Amir in the chat.)
JAKE: i'm not looking at you so. its fine.
AMIR: i'm rocking out that's all
JAKE: k
AMIR: Pretty hard though.
AMIR: Pick your head up if you're interested.
AMIR: are you?
JAKE: im not.
AMIR: Whenever I'm having a bad day, or feeling down about something, I know that feeling is always fleeting because soon i'll be back at my desk, sitting across from my best friend, and just -- everything is perfect again. You fix everything by just being here.
AMIR: LOL
JAKE: god
JAKE: please tell me that's a song lyric
AMIR: it is
JAKE: good
AMIR: but it's a song I recorded about you.
(Jake recoils in annoyance and exasperation. Amir continues staring blankly at Jake.)
JAKE: im gonna block you

AMIR: ME HAVENT EATEN IN DAYS ROFLMAO
JAKE: vending machine tokens...
JAKE: you mean coins?
AMIR: All's I know is that I need 75 vending machine dollars to git a kit kat.
JAKE: you can use coins to buy anything you know. theyre not vending machine specific.
(Amir laughs at the apparent ridiculousness of Jake's claim.)
AMIR: Yeah, okay. So I can walk into a mcdonalds, put these metal disks into the guy at the counter, and he'll spit mcnuggets into my mouth I guess?!
