INTRO Amir (in a silly voice) - Hey, I'm Jake Hurwitz and you're watching Jake and Amir, Amir is awesome. Amir - Oh, thanks, Jake. (muffled sounds of an automated voice) JAKE: What is that noise? AMIR: Oh, don't mind me, I'm just reading...a book. Ever heard of it? (chuckles) JAKE: Doesn't look like you're reading a book. AMIR: Exactly! (pulls out Kindle from drawer, 'with my trusty vibrator' is heard clearly) AMIR: I got a Kyndle. JAKE: It's a Kindle. AMIR: Whatevah. JAKE: I cannot imagine a product that would be of less use to you. AMIR: What are you talking about? This thing is great! JAKE: Why do you think it's great? AMIR: Let me ask you this. What's the worst part about reading? JAKE: Nothing. AMIR: Wrong. The reading part. And that's exactly what the Kyndle does-- JAKE. Kindle. AMIR: --for me, so that I don't have to. JAKE: Are you even listening when it reads to you? AMIR: No. That's the great part. I just put it on this talking text program, shut it in a drawer, I can barely hear it. Doesn't distract me at all, no fuss, no muss. JAKE: What's muss? AMIR: I don't know. JAKE: What books have you read so far? AMIR: Oh, tons. I mean at least a baker's dozen, let's see. Just last night I read uh, Hercules, Catcher in the Rye, Lolita-- JAKE: What were they about? AMIR: Who gives a C? The important thing is I can tell people I read them. JAKE: Reading isn't about bragging rights. AMIR: (chuckles) You are so jealous you haven't stolen one of these from Pat yet. JAKE: You stole it from Pat? AMIR: Can't prove that. Good news is, now that I don't waste any time reading-- JAKE: You never spent any time reading. AMIR:--Well, now that I don't spend any time reading, me and you can hang out more, maybe we can discuss some stuff. Talk about, oh, I don't know, books. JAKE: Books. OK, yeah, let's talk about books. AMIR: You would love that, wouldn't you? JAKE: I mean you're the one who-- AMIR: OK, you know what, if you need me I'm going to be reading in the conference room. (throws the Kindle off to his right) (off camera) PAT: My Kyndle! THE END. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPe2pg0wdGg
