TRANSCRIPT:
Hey, anyone going away for spring break?
Sure am, Aruba!
What?!
Yeah and we just booked our trip to...
[in unison] South Africa!
Yeah
Oh scary.
Which country in South Africa?
Ah, South Africa
Yeah, which country when you're in South Africa
are you specifically visiting?
Gerry, South Africa.
Right.
If I'm going to South America and someone
says which country, I might say
Brazil for example.
You will say?
Oh this is like "Who's on First?"
Which country?
Is Cape Town enough?
Yay, see how that works?
Cape Town.
Was that so hard? You're going to Cape Town
It was very easy
Great.
How are you affording all of this?
It's called planning, Gerry.
I booked mine a year ago -
dirt cheap.
Ours wasn't dirt cheap.
I started home tutoring just to pay for it.
I took on an ESL course to help pay for it
after school.
Earn a little extra skrill.
See I want a vacation, I've got to find a
way to earn fast cash.
Did somebody say fast...
cash?
Yeah I did for ah-
Hookers?
No!
Not for hookers, for spring break!
I know a guy who's always looking for people
to teach inmates in prison on the weekends
- really high job turnover.
Oh I bet there's a high turnover, obviously.
Who wants that job?
It pays $300 a day.
Three!
Did you hear him?
Why don't we get $300 a day to teach here?
You do.
Every day I come in I get $300?!
You shouldn't but you do.
Wow, where's it all go?
Do you want me to call the guy?
No, thank you but I'm not setting foot in
a prison, okay.
I like my vacations but I value my life more.
You're too pretty for prison anyway.
Another reason, thank you Simon.
Too pretty.
This gets - this gets a lot of eyeballs
on it in prison I bet.
They get one gander at this in prison and
I am a
prison bitch.
I have a better idea.
Great butt.
Whoa.
