INTRO: (The Jake Amir's Get Together Project Animation plays) AMIR: Jake and Amir's Get Together Project! [Amir sits down at his desk across from Jake.) AMIR: Eughh. Elevators, man, right? (laughs) JAKE: I told you not to talk to me for the rest of the day. AMIR: I was just in an elevator, ok, and nobody was looking at anyone. It was really uncomfortable! JAKE: Do you still do that thing where you enter the elevator backwards?-- AMIR: Yeah! You know, so I'm facing the RIGHT way in case of emergency; it's just a safety precaution. JAKE: Alright well people don't wanna look at each other in elevators; it's sort of uncomfortable. AMIR: So I try to break the silence; you know, add a little warmth and comradery to this otherwise awkward elevator ride. You n- wanna know what I said? JAKE: Something about the weather? AMIR: No, that's boring. Ok I wanted to do something that they would REMEMBER me by. So I asked them, straight up, if you had to choose, which one would you rather have: eight legs, or two really long, eight-foot arms. JAKE: (gesturing out noodley arms) Like, telescopic, noodley arms? AMIR: Yeah, just like giant noodles for arms. JAKE: Giant noodle arms. AMIR: Yeah. JAKE: Or what was the other one? Eight legs? AMIR: Eight legs like a spider. JAKE: Wow. Yeah.. that's stupid. AMIR: Exactly, right? Difficult question; I don't even know which one-- JAKE: I said stupid. AMIR: Yeah, well it is very difficult. Which one would you rather have? JAKE: Look, I said it was a stupid question, not in intelligent question; you're taking what I'm saying and turning it around-- AMIR: Eight legs. Hm. I knew you'd take their side. JAKE: (sighs.) How was the reaction? AMIR: Muted. Mm-hmm. Lotta noise; lotta noise. JAKE: Do you know what muted means? AMIR: Yes. Well, now I do. (Jake smiles gestures with his hand as if saying what are you talking about?) AMIR: What is with elevators, ok why is it so uncomfortable in there? Why is nobody allowed to talk to anybody? (in a stand up comedy cadence) What is it, like a library in there? I'm gonna check out a book, in an elevator? JAKE: You trying to do a stand up act, or something? AMIR: (to the camera) HOW can we break the ice.. in elevators, ok? We wanna know! ...So submit your answers right here! (pointing down) OUTRO: (The Jake Amir's Get Together Project Animation plays) AMIR: People! Let's get closer! JAKE: Join our Get Together Project at Facebook.com/BACARDI AMIR: So why'd you choose legs, man? I was like positive you were an arm guy. JAKE: AhhI dunno. AMIR: Think about it, ok? I don't wanna just talk to hear the sound of my own voice, I want you to put something back-- JAKE: That's what you usually do anyway. AMIR: How dare you accuse me of talking on and on and on, with no seeming reason or rhyme to where I'm going, or how-- JAKE: You see what you're doing now? END.
