Simmons: 	Hi. I'm Private Dick Simmons from the popular web series, Red vs Blue.
Grif: 	And I'm Private Dexter Grif, from the same show.
Simmons: 	You know, these days many people are wondering how they can tighten their belts to weather the hard economic times.
Grif: 	It turns out some people in some place did some things that lost a bunch of money, for some people you don't even know.
Simmons: 	Yeah, we don't understand the details, but apparently people buying houses they can't afford, with money they didn't have, from the banks that weren't paying attention, was a badthing.
Grif: 	Who knew?
Simmons: 	Also, we're having all sorts of peaks right now. We've got peak oil, peak water, peak temperature-
Grif: 	Peak hurricanes, peak bees.
Simmons: 	Peak bees?
Grif: 	It's true, look it up.
Simmons: 	The point is, we're all doomed.
Grif: 	Absolutely. Especially if you're a bee that runs on oil.
Simmons: 	But, in these dark times, it's important that you stay optimistic.
Grif: 	Right. You should be thinking positive thoughts like "how can I outlive my neighbors so that when they die, I can take their stuff."
Simmons: 	Luckily, Sarge has gathered some useful tips to help us figure out how to get through these tough times.
Sarge: 	Uh, actually we can't do that right now.
Grif: 	What? Why not?
Sarge: 	I've been too busy meetin' with the Blues to work on the list.
Simmons: 	Meeting?
Church: 	Yeah, this is kinda hard to explain, but... we're bankrupt.
Grif: 	You're what?
Church: 	Uh, we're broke. We got some credit cards and we made some bad choices... yeah like we upgraded our flag, we probably shouldn't have.
Caboose: 	And we also bought some hedge fund stocks!
Simmons: 	You bought hedge fund stocks with a credit card?
Church: 	Yeah, and then when we lost money doing that, we tried to buy more stocks by taking out a subprime home equity loan on our base.
Caboose: 	Um yeah, so the bank took our base, um then they reposessed our tank, and, our ammo. Then the bank sold it all to some foreign characters from another video game.
Grif: 	Wow. Sucks to be you guys.
Sarge: 	Actually it sucks to be everybody. 'Cause it's up to us to bail out the Blues.
Simmons: 	What?
Grif: 	Why would we do that?
Sarge: 	As of this week, the Blues will be moving in to our base. Which will be split down the middle with a line of masking tape. Right side Red, left side Blue.
Grif: 	They're gonna live in our base?
Sarge: 	Yeah. Also Grif, you gotta give 'em yer gun.
Grif: 	Why?
Sarge: 	They can't afford ammo any more.
Grif: 	Good, then they can't shoot at us.
Sarge: 	Actually that's bad. We need to have them shooting at us. They have to have competition for a healthy environment.
Grif: 	Healthy environment? They're gonna be living in our home, and using our guns to shoot at us. That's not healthy, that's suicide!
Sarge: 	Nonsense. It's only until they get back on their feet with all the money we're gonna pay them.
Simmons: 	We're paying them money too!?
Sarge: 	Of course we are. That part just makes sense.
Grif: 	Where are we getting the money?
Sarge: 	Well as you know, times are tough. So we're gonna have to take out a loan to help 'em.
Simmons: 	WHAT!?
Church: 	Oh, dude. I know a place where you can get anawesome subprime home equity loan for your base.
Sarge: 	That sounds perfectly reasonable.
Grif starts running away 	Grif starts running away
Simmons: 	Grif, where're you going!?
Grif: 	To pawn my armor and gun before the bank takes it!
Church: 	Hey when you get the money from the pawn shop we're gonna need that too! Remember we're all in this together!
