And when will that be?! What? I'm sorry.
It's just every second of every day, You know? Driving together, calling me in the truck.
All night with me, you, and patrick swayze.
I can't take it anymore! All right, look, doug, maybe i went a little overboard here, ok? Maybe i called you a little too much On your little radio there, But i'm only gonna be here for 2 weeks! You couldn't take it for 2 weeks? I was surprised myself! You know? But 2 weeks can seem pretty long! You know, like, if you're on jury duty Or trapped in a mine! Oh! Ok, so working with me Is like being trapped in a mine.
Ok, well, i- You know what, doug? I am so sorry that my very presence here Has been so awful for you.
You know what? It's really funny, Because for me, I love spending this time together.
I- I love being here with you.
You know? I mean watching you work has actually been a turn-On for me, If you could believe that.
Really? Yeah.
You know, watching you lift all those heavy boxes And gettin' sweaty and workin' the forklift.
I've never seen you at work, you know? You're good at what you do.
It's sexy.
It is? Yeah, but you hate me, so what's the point? I- I feel like an idiot now.
Well, you should.
Look, i'm-I'm sorry.
You know i love you.
I just- I just got carried away.
So you like the forklift, huh? Yeah.
Especially when you raise and swivel at the same time.
You know, that breaks every safety code, but it's my signature move.
Do you, uh like it when i do this here? Do you like that, right here? Huh? We get it, doug.
Yeah.
Give it a rest now.
How 'bout this stuff here? Ohh! Bubbles no match for me! Look, i'm- I'm really sorry.
Ok? Ok.
Have a good day at work, tiger.
Mmm.
I hate to see you go, But i love to watch you leave.
What's up with you two now? Oh, just found out there's a couple of perks To havin' your wife around at work.
What do you mean? Mmm.
I don't like to have sex In a truck and tell.
Oh, wait.
I guess i do.
Nice.
Yahtzee! Doug and carrie, Back of his truck.
Turnin' this place into i.
P.
"Oh, yes.
" That's the story, duke.
And by the way, he punched out after.
Rockin' on the clock.
Now, that's the way to do it.
I heard it was surprisingly tender.
I think it's pretty inappropriate.
Aren't they married? Yeah.
Still, in a truck? Yeah, guess you're right.
Why are temps always so slutty? Spence, my good man! Yeah, i'm here.
Um why did you want me to wear a green turtleneck? For our christmas card, of course.
Come again? A simple snapshot.
You offer me these chocolate chip cookies, And i react with delight, thusly: Hey! What- What exactly is our relationship That we're sending out a christmas card together? Buddies, confidants, about town.
Don't you think that seems joyous? Inspired? Gay.
Christmas is no time for bigotry! I'm not homophobic! I just don't wanna be on a card with you.
These aren't even real! Of course not.
They're prop cookies.
Real cookies photograph like buttons, idiot! Merry christmas, arthur.
Good! Leave, then.
Now i don't have to explain to people How i befriended a lawn dwarf! Back of the truck.
