Great to meet you. Obviously you don't fit any of the diversity requirements so we're just gonna skip through that portion. Not a minority. Well... Unless you are gay perhaps? Gay, yeah. I'm a little... Congratulations. Very accepting of that. We support all the things. Of course we will have to verify that. What? No big deal. We'll just need proof of that. Proof that I'm gay? Picks, videos, references that you've had intercourse with. We'll just give them a quick call. Bing, bang, boom, move on. I don't know if I have any, like, references. Oh, is that going to be a problem? I just don't know if I have their numbers. Being gay and all, it's all discreet and anonymous. There is a second option. What is it? Well, we do, of course, have our in-house diversity confirmation officers. One of them can just take you to the diversity bed, make love to you, just a formality. Diversity bed? Hey, Tony, Ahmed, Brad, get in here. Wait, do this Tommy guys just in here somewhere? So Tommy, you'd prefer? Yeah, I think he's made his choice, Tommy. Ready to go? You do seem a little hesitant. You are in fact diverse, correct? I'm very gentle. What was the pay again? About 120k a year. All right, check that off here and it's between you and about 45 other applicants. We will let you know.
