Amir: You're watching Jake and Amir, (in bad witch voice) my pretties.

Jake: What is that?

Amir: I'm a witch!

Jake: Got it.

[Jake and Amir walk in and sit down at Jakes desk]

Jake: Alright, let me explain the economic crisis to you, so you don't embarrass yourself in another meeting.

Amir: Ok, I thought I handled myself with gravity and poise.

Jake: You took out a hundred dollar bill, lit it on fire, and then tried to light a cigar with it; you failed, you burned yourself pretty badly, and you burned Karen really badly.

Amir: Ok, she was loving it.

Jake: She was already upset because she lost half of her retirement fund in the last three months.

Amir: Yeah, that's what you get for investing in cock futures.

Jake: She didn't invest in cock futures, ok? nobody is inve.. What is a cock future?

So the government needed to raise the debt ceiling in order to pay back billions of dollars in foreign loans. (interrupted by Amir)

Amir: Woah woah slow down I wasn't listening.

Jake: Slow down or you weren't listening?

Amir: What's the difference?

Jake: Well one implies you were giving some effort but I was just talking too fast, the other one is just that you're being an asshole Interrupted by Amir

Amir: Woah woah slow down!

Jake: So it was the second one?

Amir: Second WHAT!

Jake: You then rolled up a hundred dollar bill, shoved it in Karens ear and lit the tip of it on fire, screaming Enjoy this ear candle you dumb bitch, it's half the price of a cock future and unlike you it's guaranteed to blow smoke up my ass.

Amir: Yeah, which got a huge laugh.

Jake: A lot of people tried to tackle you.

Amir: So why doesn't Obama just like cut a check and call it a day?

Jake: You think Obama would be the one to cut a check? Amir shrugs They needed more than a Trillion dollars.

Amir: Oh a trillion. Which is?

Jake: A thousand billion

Amir: Right. Which is?

Jake: A thousand million, which is a thousand thousand, which is a thousand dollars, which is how much four chicken nuggets cost.

Amir: Got it. (Amir attempts to throw a chicken nugget into his mouth but misses)

Jake: Where did you get that?

(Amir making a weird face while Jake talks) Security came to escort you out; you got down on your hands and knees and begged Karen for just one of her cock futures, you said: I'm sure my dad would be disappointed to see me grovelling, but the look in his eyes when I show him I'm the certified owned of a cock future, would surely erase 28 years of disapproval.

Amir: I'm a coward and a fool! .. I feel like the word staunch was co opted by the right, I mean like you can be a staunch Republican, but you can't be a staunch Democrat? like who made those rules — (Jake interrupts)

Jake: You can be a staunch Democrat — (Amir interrupts jake)

Amir: I don't interrupt you, ok, I don't interrupt your stand ups so don't interrupt mine, sorry but..

Jake: You do interrupt me a lot, not necessarily during my stand up — (Amir interrupts)

Amir: Name one time I interrupted you.

Jake: You're interrupting me right now —

Amir: Name one time!

Jake: It's happening right now — (AMIR interrupting: I defy YOU *), this is interruption!

Amir: I feel like we don't need money if everyone just decided to use..(Jake interrupts)

Jake: I know, Chucky Cheese tokens instead of money, right, you said that maybe too much during the meeting.

Amir: [Tickles Jake] Are you ticklish?

Jake: Yes, I'm very ticklish but your hands are so cold, and wet and clammy that I'm just grossed out..

You then pissed yourself, and you were dragged out of the meeting a second time, while you were screaming The audacity of NOPE, which sounds like some weird tea party slogan.

Amir: I'm a member.

Jake: [Amir tries tickling jake again] Yeah, like that feels like I'm being poked with cold crab claws.

Amir: [Holding up a 100$ bill and trying to burn it with a lighter while Jake tries to stop him] Alright come on, just let go man.

Jake: You did not learn your lesson yet. That'll be 300$ on the day!

Ok, then so even though the debt ceiling was raised, our credit rating dropped so the stocks tanked.

Amir: Yeah, that's why I keep my money in a freaking box, man.

Jake: That's not smart.

Amir: Yeah, well didn't you lose money this year?

Jake: Yes.

Amir: .. and in 2008?

Jake: Right i did but...

Amir: Well my box didn't depreciate in value, ok, I actually made more money investing in Nothing [laughs].

Jake: Fine, where's your box?

Amir: Here's a quiz.. I lost it.

Jake: So then from inside the meeting we heard you threaten to make your face red until you passed out, which I guess you did, because then nobody heard from you for 30 minutes.

Amir: Yeah, which felt like like a second on my end.

Jake: Right, because you had stopped breathing.

Amir: For like a second on my end.

Jake: Yes, on your end, but like for 30 minutes in real life.

[Amir tries to flick his fingers]

Jake: Booyakasha?

Amir: Borat, yeah. Ok, so how do you know so much?

Jake: Newspapers, alright, it's not hard to stay informed; you read an hour a day, New York Times, Wall Street Journal..

Amir: How do you actually know so much?

Jake: Daily show..(Amir: got it) I watch the Colbert Report.

Amir: Yeah.. Comedy shows.
