J: I’m doing my best to not suck. How am I doing, man?

Q: Not bad, not bad. You’ve got a bright future.

J: That means a lot.

Q: Now look who’s getting all emotional. You told me not to get all emotional and now it’s you.

J: I’m not being all emotional.

Q: Mm-hmm. It’s okay, man. Let it out.

J: Can I just . . . I just wanna say something . . .

Q: The stage is yours, my friend.

J: Life is short. Sometimes more than we know. And you can’t prepare for that shit. Even if you could you still wouldn’t be prepared. So . . . listen, the best thing you can do is get yourself a good-ass friend. Like this man right here. He’s not just my friend. He’s my brother.

Q: J.

J: So, yeah, that’s all I gotta say about that. Should we . . . let’s do what we set out to do.

*Camera zooms out to include Jamal in the frame, standing to Q’s right*

J: New. York. City.

Q: That’s right! Jauncy’s international!

J: I mean, we’re still in the US so technically . . .

*Zoom in on Q’s face, mad embarrassed*

Q: True, true, but you know, NYC’s got that melting-pot flavor going on.

*Zoom in on Jamal’s face, rubbing his chin, eyebrows raised*

Q: Damn, you know what? I actually meant to say intercontinental . . .

*Zoom in closer on Jamal’s face, rubbing his chin and arching his eyebrows even more vigorously*

Q: Intercontinental is the same thing as international, isn’t it?

J: I think this might be a good time to shout out our lovely camera person, who, incidentally, is also this guy’s girlfriend. Say hi to the people, babe.

*Camera turns around and is far too close to Autumn’s face*

A: Hey, everybody. In case you were confused. My name is actually Autumn, not babe, so cool.

Q and J: TAKE IT TO THE STREEEEEEETS!
