Amir: (Guttural noises.)
Jake: What’s going on?
A: I don’t know how people do it.
J: Yeah.
A: No, you don’t know what I meant. I meant, I don’t know how people get tattoos.
J: Man, what time do we have that meeting? It’s like 4, or 2?
A: Just forget about the meeting, how—when you got your tattoo, did it hurt you? Who else has a tattoo in the office? Now that I’m inked up. Now that I have ink.
J: Do you know, just like when—
A: You’re treating me so different now that you know I have a tattoo
J: I’m really trying not to
A: It’s embarrassing tell you this shit because I—
J: You don’t have to. What is it of?
A: I dunno, it’s a tattoo. Okay, what is this? What is that of? That’s not of anything, it’s still a tattoo.
J: That looks like a fish or something, is that what you got?
A: Mine’s a bear.
J: A bear? Where is it?
A: I dunno, in the woods or something.
J: When you get a tattoo, you get it of something and in a specific spot. So, it’s of a bear, you said, and where is it?
A: Let’s go to a fucking bar. I haven’t felt this interrogated—it’s not on my shoulder or anything, it’s just like on my area. What does it matter?
J: What area?
A: What does it matter where it is?
J: A dick on your—
A: Is that a dick? No, it’s a cannon. Leave me alone, it’s—it’s getting sore.
J: Let me fucking see that!
A: Get off of me, man. Get off of me, what does it matter what it is?
J: It says ‘GAY’.
A: Those are my initials! Next one’s going to be, like, an eagle.
