[Jake is sitting on a couch working on his laptop, when Amir comes in and tries to sit between him and the armrest.*]

JAKE: What are you doing? Sit there! Amir! Sit there! We have an entire couch, and I'm not gonna move because I was—

[Jake has moved.]

AMIR: (giving Jake some papers) Hey can you help a cousin out with his resume?

JAKE: Wow, actually, yes, absolutely. Are you looking for another job?

AMIR: Something like that.

JAKE: Alright, right off the bat, you've used a sample resume I'm guessing, because your name is Will B. Hired.

AMIR: You caught that.

JAKE: Yes, I did. And your email address is put@emailaddress.here.

AMIR: Okay, can we please just focus on what matters?

JAKE: Objective, wow. Why don't you read this out loud and tell me if it's what you want to send to a prospective employer.

AMIR: Money = pussy. No.

AMIR: You want a hurtsdangit?

JAKE: What?

(Amir punches Jake in the arm.)

AMIR: Hurts!

(Jake punches back.)

AMIR: Dang it!

JAKE: Under Experiences you just wrote When something happens to you; that's just defining it.

AMIR: Mhm. Did I get it right, though?

JAKE: It doesn't matter.

AMIR: That's a yes.

JAKE: Under Skills you wrote dunking.

AMIR: Mhm. A basketball.

JAKE: Yeah, no, I know, but you can't do that.

AMIR: Yeah, did I specify how tall the hoop was?

JAKE: You did, you said 10 feet.

AMIR: Okay so delete it. It's not rocket sockets.

JAKE: I know but it's still--

AMIR: Just get out of my life!

JAKE: Yeah, this, like, all this, where you listed every school, even the ones you went to when you were a baby, that's just un--(glances at Amir) are you asleep? Are you asleep?

AMIR: Hnh? Yeah! No.

JAKE: Proficient at Microsoft Word, right? You said you can write 500 words a minute?

AMIR: Mhm. But, did I specify what kind of words?

JAKE: You did; you're always specifying for some reason. You wrote nonsense words, and a winking emoticon.

JAKE: Activities, you wrote none, which is honest, but it's probably a bad move.

AMIR: Yeah, well, I didn't wanna lie.

JAKE: Yeah but then there's a comma and you wrote music.

AMIR: Right, well you gotta sweeten the deal a little bit. Right? You gotta tickle the generals. (The sound of Amir cackling is overdubbed)

JAKE: Still, I feel like--

AMIR: --a little bit. So, just stop focusing on that one line. I feel like you're harping so much on that one specific. The rest of the resume is gibberish, I got a cyst on my neck that doctors don't even know how to drain yet, bec--

JAKE: Special Skills: playing DVDs.

AMIR: Mhm. Just pop in, press play, and enjoy--

JAKE: Enjoy the ride. Yep, you wrote that. You also wrote, If it skips, cry till it's fixed.

AMIR: It rhymes.

JAKE: It doesn't.

AMIR: (showing Jake his cyst.) Feel this. And you're worried about--

JAKE: Oh! God.

AMIR: If people can even talk about my music? Who cares about music!

JAKE: For Extracurriculars you have My cousin owns a laser tag; that's not really relevant.

AMIR: Yes it is, this is his resume.

JAKE: So you're not looking for a new job?

AMIR: No, I'm not- why would I look for a new job? I got the best coworkers in the world! (He tickles Jake, who resists.)
