Disturbing phone conversation - all dialogue

“Good morning, Bob Kurt of the IRS, how may I help you?â€

“Hello IRS, thanks for speaking on your end. I’ve been listening to a great song while I was waiting for you.â€

“Ha ha, glad to hear that. Is there something I may help you with?

“Indeed! I was told that I needed to do my taxes, but I don’t have to pay taxes. So, I want to make sure you make a notation of that in your files. This way, I won’t have to be bothered with notifications on my end here, and I therefore won’t need to bother calling you every year about it.â€

“Mr.? What is your name?

“Ian Zool.â€

“Mr. Zool, do you work?â€

“Yes, I work at Starbucks, creating the beverages that people love to drink. I have many repeat customers.â€

“Mr. Zool, every working person in the United States needs to pay taxes. I can transfer you to someone who can assist you in finding help with that if you can’t do it yourself.â€

“No, don’t transfer me. I want you to take my name off your list so I get this thing cleared up. I don’t have to pay taxes.â€

“Why do you think that you don’t have to pay taxes?â€

“Well, I’m an alien!â€

“You do have a card to work in this country?â€

“Well, they let me work in Starbucks. They would let me work in any country.â€

“What country are you from?â€

“My planet doesn’t have countries as your Earth does. I don’t see what this has to do with you removing my name from your taxes list.â€

“I’m sorry, did you say, your planet doesn’t have countries?â€

“Yes, that’s correct.â€

“Mr. Zool, perhaps you better come here in person. Please bring any papers you have from work, as well as any IDs you have.â€

“Pffff, fine. I’ll be right there.â€
“AHHHHHHHHHHH. How did you get here?! I’m still holding the phone! Were you in this office the entire time we were on the phone? “
“No! You JUST told me to come in here in person. I don’t think you’re capable of helping me. I’d like to see your supervisor. Miss? Miss? Why are you suddenly lying down and passed out on the floor? Hah, I should have shown up with a venti latte. “
