Dean: "You know what they've got you doing, right?"

Micheal: "No."

Dean: "Looking every which way, like a hill of prairie dogs."

Micheal: "How so?"

Dean: "Well, while they rob you, they create a bunch of worthless jobs for you to do. It's an age old con. It's called the Prairie Dog."

Micheal: "I've never heard of that."

Dean: "Yeah, sure. Like when the eagle is coming in to have a look at those little skittering baby prairie dogs. The whole hill of guards are looking all over the place, like there are a thousand dangers, but they don't know where to look."

Micheal: "Ok."

Dean: "But while the eagle and the jackals in the distance have got them prairie dogs looking every which way, there's the wily snake slipping down the burrow, beneath the earth, behind the scenes, taking from under everyone's nose."

Micheal: "Shit, that's one clever snake. But how does he communicate with the eagle?"

Dean: "He doesn't. He just watches whats going on and decides the best way to rip everyone off without being seen!"

The end.
