INTRO
AMIR: Jake, Jake, Jake, J-Jake, Jake, J-Jake, Jake.
JAKE: Say your own name.
AMIR: And Amir.
JAKE: God.
AMIR: Happy?
(Jake is sitting at desk, Amir wheels in a large wrapped box)
AMIR: (grabbing Jake, rapping) Uhh, happy holidays, and so grab yourself a hoach-gay.
JAKE: I though we said we weren't doing gifts this year.
AMIR: Why not?
JAKE: Because every year you've gotten me something really weird.
(flashback three years ago, Jake and Amir are on couch)
AMIR: So I got you something.
JAKE: Thanks, man.
AMIR: Uh, you know how you told me the story about when your dad was a kid he had a kaleidoscope and it broke?
JAKE: No.
AMIR: Or, uh, he had a kaleidoscope and he lost it in the snow or something?
JAKE: No, that wasn't me.
AMIR: And, like, ever since then you've been trying to find him a kaleidoscope to replace the one that broke?
JAKE: I'm not even sure I know what a kaleidoscope is.
AMIR: (handing Jake small, wrapped cylinder) Anyway, just, just open it, it's gonna shock you to the core.
JAKE: (shaking it, makes broken glass noises) It sounds really broken.
AMIR: Impossible.
(flash forward to two years ago, Amir giving Jake a brown bag filled with cash)
AMIR: So I'm like what do you get the guy that has everything? Why not cash, the gift certificate to anywhere?
JAKE: There's, like, over a thousand dollars in here.
AMIR: Yeah, why? Do you think I stole it?
JAKE: I do now.
AMIR: From an old lady? (Jake sighs, Amir grabs Jake's sweater) This is nice.
(flash forward to last year, Amir is giving Jake a large animal crate)
JAKE: Thanks.
AMIR: Go home and, (taps crate) you'll appreciate this cage more.
JAKE: What?
AMIR: Just go home and, (taps crate) you'll appreciate this cage more.
JAKE: What do you mean? Not what you said.
AMIR: Let me put it in a way you might understand, without giving-
JAKE: Just say it.
AMIR: I got you a wolf.
JAKE: Ugh, Ok.
AMIR: Yeah, and I put it in your apartment.
(Jake sighs)
(flash forward to present, Jake sighs)
AMIR: Ok, just trust me. This year is gonna be different. Just open it, please.
JAKE: Alright.
(Jake rips wrapping paper to reveal cardboard box. Amir pops out of box holding collar.)
JAKE: Ahh! What? How did you- What is that?
AMIR: It's a collar.
JAKE: For what?
AMIR: For the wolf! For- FTW.
JAKE: I don't have the wolf anymore, Ok?
AMIR: For the- it's FTW, for the wolf.
JAKE: The wolf's dead, they euthanized it in my apartment. You wanna dig it up? For the wolf?
AMIR: For the epic wolf.
THE END
AMIR: (looks at camera) Merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah from Jake and Amir!
JAKE: (looking suspiciously at camera) Who are you talking to?
AMIR: Nobody.
