Strip by: Justin Ahmann

1 The Devil: {into phone} Okay, Elon, thanks!
2 The Devil: Listen, since you’ll be taking him into orbit, is there any chance you can drop him off at the moon?
3 Elon: {on phone} You’re my lawyer. Surely it’s illegal to tempt striking workers back to work by giving them things that they want?
4 Elon: Oh, it’s not?
5 The Devil: I know it’s a long way! I’m a scientist!
6 Elon: Also, you’re personally all in favour of tempting people??
7 The Devil: Well they’re not designed to blow up all the time either but that doesn’t seem to stop them!
8 Elon: Having the Devil as your lawyer is really confusing.

It was tough to synchronize the two halves of this conversation in a way that made sense, but I think this is how the author intended it!
