Michael Che: It was reported today that Boko Haram has joined forces with the terrorist group ISIS. Here with her thoughts on the subject is the girl you wish you hadn’t started conversation with at the party.
[The girl slides in]
The girl: Alright Michael. Thank me for having you back.
Michael Che: Thank– Alright, sure. Whatever. So, what do you think about this Boko Haram situation?
The girl: What do I think about it? [Cut to The girl] I think it is inexcusitive, okay? It’s a cardastrophy! It’s unremaginable! Just look at the sadistics, Michael.
[Cut to The girl and Michael Che]
For every 10 people, there are 20 people. And what? We’re just supposed to give them all the death penalty? No! Like, American needs to grow up. But also, it needs to look like 15 years younger.
[Cut to The girl using her mobile phone]
I just friended you. Accept me.
[Cut to The girl and Michael Che]
Michael Che: I’m sorry. Is this still about Boko Haram?
The girl: Open your eyes, Michael. Measles, Ebola, charter school. Sometimes I’m like, Salami Hussain was right. [Cut to The girl] And then healthcare? Everyone’s talking about HMOs. Um, how about just calling them gay people?
[Cut to The girl Michael Che and The girl]
Michael Che: Okay, I don’t think anyone is following what the hell you are sayin.
The girl: Michael! How would you feel if I went into your neighborhood and burned your house down?
Michael Che: I’d feel bad.
The girl: Exactly! And that’s exactly how they feel.
Michael Che: Who?
The girl: Fires! [Cut to The girl] If you took all the homeless women in the world and set them on top of each other, pffft. Zynga, Michael. Zynga.

Michael Che: Oh, I might go to Puerto Rico.
The girl: Oh, I’m bringing democracy to Syria. Via Instagram. Oh look, it’s Karina. Karina! Are you dancing? Oh, she’s having a tiny seizure.
Michael Che: Okay, I think you just need to go.
The girl: Yeah! Actually, I do need to go Michael. Coz some of us are actually solving progress. [audience laughing] Coz if we don’t, in 800 years our children won’t even be alive. So, can I draw a cartoon of Mohammad real quick?
Michael Che: No!
The girl: Alright. Now, close your eyes. [Michael Che closes his eyes] Open them. [Michael Che opens his eyes] Close them. [Michael Che closes his eyes] Open just the left. [Michael Che opens his left eye] Wink at me. [Michael Che winks at The girl] Congratulations, that’s assault.
