The video opens with Adam Scott and Elizabeth Wright Shapiro packing office supplies into boxes. Ken Mitchell walks into the room carrying a box.

Ken Mitchell: Hey guys, what should I do with all these AIDS prevention pamphlets, just throw them out, right?

Adam Scott: Yeah. No reason to keep them now.

Ken Mitchell: Cool.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro pulls something out of a box.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Great. Starbucks gift certificate. Expired.

Adam Scott: Oh, I got a job interview next week.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Oh, that's awesome. Where?

Adam Scott: Breast cancer.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Wow. I didn't know they were hiring.

Adam Scott: Yeah, I'd coordinate their races.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Fingers crossed.

Adam Scott: Oh, did you want me to try and get you in there?

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: No, please. I submitted my resume to battered women.

Ken Mitchell comes back in with a box full of red ribbons.

Ken Mitchell: Hey guys, what should I do with all these red ribbons.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Just throw them out, Matt.

Ken Mitchell: Are you sure? I mean, red's up for grabs.

Adam Scott: Matt. Please.

Ken Mitchell nods.

Ken Mitchell: Hey, there's cake in Beth's office.

Ken Mitchell leaves.

Adam Scott picks up a picture.

Adam Scott: Ah, remember last year's fundraiser? We all sang karaoke with Elton John.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Totally. Rocket man.

Adam Scott laughs.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Remember when we all went to India and passed out all those condoms.

Adam Scott: It's been a good run.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Man, this sucks.

Adam Scott: What?

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: It sucks they cured AIDS. There, I said it.

Adam Scott: Believe me, we're all thinking it.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: I know that millions of gay guys and Africans aren't going to die now. And I know this is what we've been working all these years for, but, I'm sorry, it's just like really shitty timing for me. You know?

Adam Scott: On Monday, Beth gave me a raise. Guess what happens, Tuesday? They cure aids.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: I know there's no right time to cure AIDS, but during a recession? Really?

Adam Scott: Recession? How about the worst economic meltdown since the Great Depression.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Scientists are such assholes.

Adam Scott: Yeah, no shit.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Part of me is just like, what the fuck happened to cancer? You know? I thought for sure they'd cure that shit first.

Adam Scott: Yeah. What do they have, like, twenty ribbon colors now?

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: What kind of pussy ass disease gets cured in like twenty years anyways? It took longer to cure fucking polio.

Adam Scott: What happened to the common cold? They still haven't cured that.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: Right. So, basically, a cold is worse than AIDS now. I'd rather get AIDS, than a cold.

Ken Mitchell pops his head back into the room. He's carrying a piece of cake.

Ken Mitchell: Look who stopped by to say hi.

Brian Gallivan comes into the room. He has lesions on his forehead consistent with AIDS.

Brian Gallivan: Hey. Hey.

Adam Scott: Oh, Jesus Christ.

Brian Gallivan: I just wanted to thank you guys for all the hard work you've done. (claps Adam Scott on the shoulder) Thanks to you I'm gonna live.

Adam Scott: Matt, is this a joke? (to Brian Gallivan) What is this? Okay, congratulations, now go fuck yourself.

Brian Gallivan looks back and forth between Adam Scott and Elizabeth Wright Shapiro.

Brian Gallivan (to Adam Scott): Fuck you.

Adam Scott: You too, Matt! Get the fuck out of here.

Brian Gallivan and Ken Mitchell leave the room.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: The balls on that guy. Jesus. Shit. I forgot to mail my rent check.

Adam Scott: Oh, God damn it.

Elizabeth Wright Shapiro: I swear, this has been the worst fucking week.
