Boy, Joy did a real nice job on these skirts here.
Let's see.
I got my BOTCs over here.
Hey, Tom.
Gibbons! What the heck are you doing here?
I missed my train. I figured
you could use some help at your booth.
Well, not really.
- Mayor's office.
- Hi. It's Tom Peters.
Hello, Tom.
What do we have here?
These are Joy's
Friendship Skirts For Men.
They're, you know,
meant to be worn in tandem.
And over here we have my BOTCs,
Books On Tiny Cassette.
Check one. Test.
Check two. OK. Let's see.
Where's the recording button on this thing?
Great, Tom.
Speaking of the devil
you wouldn't happen to know
when my booth spotlight might be?
- I saw some
- What is that?
This is my old friend
from Junior College, Gibbons.
- Good to meet you.
- Tom, it's making noises.
Hold on. I'm sorry, guys.
I have a call coming in.
- Tom Peters' phone.
- Tom.
How are my Friendship
Skirts For Men selling?
Hey, Joy. You know,
I'm actually just setting up now.
The Expo ain't even open yet.
But, you know, my plan is to get a spreadsheet together
I want those mother-- sold out
by the end of business!
OK. Love you, too.
Bye-bye, my sweet.
Tom, I touched it.
Do you think it's safe,
or should I sanitize my hands?
What did you touch?
This thing.
It has hair all over its face.
What the heck?
All right. I'm gonna go
load up on some carbs
maybe pick up a Caesar salad
before lunch break.
Catch you in a few.
Tom, come here.
I was a little confused.
I'm not sure if that was a boy or some kind of man animal.
Well, he has a height disorder, you know.
That's what that's all about.
Do you think
that was a figment of my imagination?
No. I don't.
Well, the way that you and that creature get along
you've got my vote
for this years' Best Friend Award.
- Tom, please.
- I'm sorry.
OK. That's terrific news,
you know.
Joy'd be very excited
to win that second story.
A special announcement.
Prince Charles,
world leader
friendship guru,
and English nobleman
will not be appearing this year.
Please stand by for an update on this year's guest speaker.
This hour's spotlight booth is
Eddie's Magic Friendship Bracelet Cozy.
Booth 154. Check it out!
Where do you put your friendship bracelets
when you shower or swim?
The question is a tough one.
Tom Peters here.
Anyone here? Hello?
- Darn ding-dong ditchers!
- Hey, Tom.
Gibbons!
What are you doing here?
What was I gonna say?
What kind of cell phone service do you have?
I have this pay-ahead plan with Cinco. Why?
I have that, too. It's cool,
but I always go over my minutes.
All right, then.
What was I
I was wondering
do you ever use any
of those hands-free devices?
Yes, Gibbons, I use them.
Listen. I have to go back to bed, all right?
I've had a very frustrating day,
and I'm very tired.
Guess what?
I was gonna tell you
I had a good idea to drum up sales.
Fine! We can talk about it at the Expo! Good-bye.
- Gibbons, what?
- Hey, Tom.
I'm looking for this adapter
for an extension cord.
- Can't this wait till tomorrow?
- I guess so.
What was I gonna say?
There was something
I was gonna ask you.
Maybe we could meet up for lunch tomorrow and catch up, you know?
Gibbons, we had lunch yesterday!
We have nothing to catch up about!
- What?
- Just wanted to say good night.
Go home! Good-bye!
Stop bothering me!
Man, you are taking this friendship concept
way, way, way too far, mister!
What a bugger!
Oh, Tom!
Thought we were friends.
Must have run over a small animal.
What do we have here?
Looks like a little hermit crab.
It's OK. It's OK. Come on now.
Very good. You'll be OK.
Yes, you will.
You're so cute.
What a prize!
Mr. Peters,
just to give you a heads-up
your booth spotlight will be in about 5 minutes.
Gibbons! Hey, Gibs!
- It's Tom Peters.
- Hello.
Listen. Did you get any of my messages?
I haven't checked.
My inbox is pretty jammed.
Well, listen, you know
what I said on the messages was,
I'm sorry about last night.
I gave you
a pretty hard time, but
I've been under a lot of stress,
and, I don't know, I feel terrible.
You know what, Tom? Save it.
I don't accept your apology.
Gibbons, me and your father
are gonna have a grown-up talk now
so I'm gonna balance you up
on this curtain, OK, hon?
- So, are you guys breaking up?
- We're not going out.
I'd really like you to win the award
so I hope there's another side to this story
I haven't heard.
Great, because, I mean,
I kind of deserve
This hour's booth spotlight
is Tom Peters'
Books On Tiny Cassettes
and Friendship Skirts For Men.
Booth 267. Check it out.
Check? Hello. Excuse me.
All right. Firstly, we have my wife's
Friendship Skirts For Men
meant to be worn in tandem.
And, we've got
my Books On Tiny Cassette
which I'm offering
for a pretty good value.
We're interrupting
our free autograph signing
to bring you this breaking news.
This year's keynote speaker,
Gibbons, has fallen down a well.
In the spirit of good friendmanship,
everyone here at the Expo
has pitched in in their own way
to get the little beast out of his hole.
One second, Jan.
We're getting word
that they're lowering a camera down
to communicate with poor Gibbons.
- Are we getting something, Charlie?
- Gibbons?
- Gibbons?
- Gibbons?
Hello.
Gibbons, hi.
We're rooting for you.
Thanks for all your prayers,
everybody.
Are you OK down there?
I've been better.
But they're sending down
Caesar salads, so
I've been trapped in
quite a few wells in my day
and this one's all right.
We'll keep you updated as far as we're concerned.
Tom, come on!
We got to help Gibbons.
No, I have to stay here.
It's my spotlight time.
Tom, like it or not,
Gibbons is your friend.
I don't know about that, Mayor.
I just don't think we're right for each other.
Right for each other?
Tom, you two are like
two tiny peas in a pod,
you know, like two men in a skirt.
I'm really disappointed
in you, buddy.
Well, I really don't know what to say,
but, you know
if you're looking
for a backup speaker
I did write up a draft this morning,
just in case.
Gibbons is still our man, Tom.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome to the stage via satellite
the winner of this year's
official Best Friend Award
and tonight's keynote speaker.
From the strange laboratory of the Mayor
and the depths below our own Seaman's Hall
it's Gibbons!
Thank you, thank you. I'd like
to start by telling you a little story
about an old friend of mine.
This friend let me down.
And here I am stuck in a well
and all this so-called "friend"
cared about was himself.
Tom Peters.
Hello, Gibbons.
Tom, you know what?
You hurt me deeply.
But to prove that I'm the bigger man
I'd like to take this opportunity
for you to apologize to me.
OK.
- Well, I sort of thought I
- Come on, Tom!
All right. I'll say it again.
I apologize!
And can I add
that my booth is 259
and I have these wonderful
Friendship Skirts and my BOTCs.
Thank you, Tom.
I accept your half-hearted apology.
And, to prove once again
that I'm the bigger man than you
Nothing, huh?
I'd like to donate my Best Friend Award
to you and your family.
Well, thanks, Gibbons!
So I have a place to stay when I visit.
If I ever get out of this well, that is.
Best friends forever.
I told you
I'd take care of you, buddy.
Thanks, Gibbons.
Easy. Easy.
Easy
Tom, perfect fit!
This is great.
Joy's gonna be so excited.
I could do a half bath
- Bull's-eye!
- Yeah!
