No Offense Taken "Annual Contracts"

(a national reservation park office with the head of human resources and a worker)
Mr. Milton: Hello Ahmed
Ahmed: Hi Mr. Milton, what is it you wanted to talk to me about? Pardon the informality I'm just nervous because I heard this wasn't going to go well.
Mr. Milton: Probably. The reason why I called you in is because of your annual contracts you have to sign to continue working in a government funded enterprise.
Ahmed: Yes I signed it.
Mr. Milton: Well this is about a particular article of the contract.
Ahmed: Which one?
Mr. Milton: Do remember signing a confirmation that you Ahmed are not a terrorist nor have you ever given money to any terrorist organization or charity?
Ahmed: Yes that's on everybody's contracts, right?
Mr. Milton: Probably
Ahmed: Probably?
Mr. Milton: I don't write the contracts we contract that work over to Saudi Arabia.
Ahmed: Saudi Arabia?
Mr. Milton: A British company based in India. Anyway the problem is you signed the conformation that you are not a terrorist.
Ahmed: So the problem is...
Mr. Milton: You did exactly as a terrorist would do.
Ahmed: By signing that I am not a terrorist.
Mr. Milton: Yes terrorists are very tricky people they wouldn't just say they were a terrorist.
Ahmed: So if I didn't sign I would still have a job?
Mr. Milton: I will neither conform nor deny that, in case you try to apply to another government funded job. Now if you don't mind that man in the long overcoat will escort to your car.
Ahmed: I came by bus
Mr. Milton: I'm sorry I meant he will escort you to an undisclosed location (another man walks in) Hello Mr. Marin welcome to human resources I'm here to train you on your new job as I am about to retire.
Mr. Marin: You guys hire aliens.
Mr. Milton: Yes, most of them legal.
Mr. Marin: What if you guys were to hire actual aliens.
Mr. Milton: What about it?
Mr. Marin: Well would it still be called human resources.
Mr. Milton: Do you smoke pot Mr. Marin.
Mr. Marin: Yes
Mr. Milton: Okay
