Something's wrong.
- Something's wrong, yes.
- What's the big deal? Are you joking? Everyone thinks I'm a penis.
I know.
I heard the story.

- It's not good.
- Look, if it's any consolation - stop talking, please.
The fact that you're sweating Really sells it as a hot dog for me.
- All right.
- Penises don't get this sweaty.
It's not the general consensus.
Just unzip me.
how's that? - Why are you grunting? - 'cause it's effort.
If I get fired over this, I really You want a Stu-lution? Is that what you want? - You want a Stu-lution to this? - I don't want a Stu-lution.

Every time I get in trouble at work, I get a note from my doctor.
Remember that time I put my balls in the microwave - And got caught in the kitchen - I do remember that.
'cause they were cold and I wanted to warm them up? Well, I went to my psychiatrist and I got a note saying That I have a personality disorder.
You think your guy would give me a note? Yeah, these child psychiatrists will diagnose you With anything at the drop of a hat.
- Child psychiatrist? - I still see my child psychiatrist.
- Why? - 'cause I've had crying jags since I was five - You do cry a lot.
- And I do feel comfortable with him And he's got just a fabulous candy selection.
That's not the way most people choose a doctor.
Well, most people don't cry when they see lowes commercials.
Hey, you know I probably should've mentioned on the phone That I'm not a little boy.
- Oh, no no no.
- I'm 25.
Age is not a concern of mine.
Have a seat on that tiny little chair and let's begin.
- Oh.
- Candy? Candy? Sure.
You don't have a Charleston chew, do you? All four flavors.
Mini or standard? Frozen or room temp? Wow.
Who would ever go to an adult doctor? Okay, give me a frozen vanilla mini.
Okay, here comes the Charleston chew-chew train.
- What comes? What? Don't.
I can feed myself.
Oh, wow.
There's a Charleston chew in my mouth.

That's very good.
Let it melt in your mouth.
Anyway, I've got some pretty deep-rooted problems.

- You've been great.
No no no no, listen.
I went to my doctor.
I've got a note.
I suffer from a form of social autism.
It's called Asperger's syndrome.
It's very common, actually.
I say and do things that are rude, Awkward, inappropriate, But I don't realize that people will react poorly.
So that explains all the past behavior - And thank you for your time.
- Let me get this straight.
Tim, you have no interest whatsoever in other people's feelings? - That's the gist of it.
- You're without empathy - Mm-hmm.
- Or compassion? - It's not ideal.
- This is a true superpower.
- I love this.
- It's a discovery - No, it's it's autism.
- Of a new superhero.
An awkward superhero.
We can have Tim do all our unpleasantness.
- Indeed.
- We send him out there to have all the awkward conversations - That we don't want to have ourselves.
- At work or at home, sir.
- At either place.
- Oh, man.
I can actually tell people what I really think - Of them through Tim.
- Nah.
Well, Tim can't control what he says.
If someone complains, we just say, "oh, super super sorry about that.
It must be Tim and his condition.
" We have won the lottery, sir.
everybody wins! - No.
- You win too! - It doesn't sound like I win.
- You'll just be hated.
- Hey, you're the new guy? - Hey, my name's Craig.
- Hey, I'm Tim.
- Hey, Tim.
Listen, I just wanted to tell you You just reek like a fucking dumpster.
- What? - I apologize if that's out of line.
- I just think you really smell like a dumpster - Yes, it's - Jesus! It's completely out of line.
- Or a bum.
- Oh, I thought it was a normal thing - No no, it's not a normal - To talk about.
- It's not a normal thing that people say.
Craig, Timothy has a medical condition.
- I'm so so sorry.
- Yeah, it must be that darn condition.
- Is that all, Tim? - Do you mind if I spray Febreze on you? Febreze is, a, for carpets And, b, for couches, okay? Not for people.
- Ah! Ugh! - Ah! Jeez.
Oh, okay.
- Hi, dear.
- Wow, you look stunning.
- Thank you.

Of course I do.
What are you doing here? - Work work stuff.
- Working stuff.
- While we're on that topic - Hmm.
Have you been working The spoon too often in the Ben & Jerry's? - Excuse me? - Pardon? I'm sorry.
I just don't remember you being that chubby.
You're saying her Ne has filled out with fat? - I didn't say that.
- I'm just trying to clarify I just said you look a little chubby.
- How dare you, young man? - How dare you say My wife has put on weight in her rear end, Ankles, calves, legs, neck and arms? Great practice, everyone.
I'm proud of each and every one of you.
Yeah.
You've got a great squad here.
- Who are you? - As an impartial observer, I just feel like you guys are doing great, Except for Sheila and Meagan.
These two are kind of dragging the team down with them.
- What?! - You know, you look a little retarded out there.
That's just me, though, as a guy who's walking past the soccer field.
Oh, Tim, you are hammering this.
- You think so? - This is the best job you've ever done! - How many more of these? - One.
I need you to talk to Becky.
I thought she was one of your favorites.

- That's what I care about.
- Hey, Becky.
- Hi, Tim.
- Tim here.

- I've got a quick question.
- Okay.
Why don't you wear that light blue sweater more often? The ones that your boobs look so nice in? What are you asking me? The question is about the frequency Of how often you wear the sweater That makes your boobs look so darn good.

My doctor called you? He told me you don't have Asperger's syndrome.
- You don't have any kind of syndrome.

- Exactly.
You don't have any remorse.
Straight to "whoops.
" - Am I fired? - Fired? - Reprimanded in some way? - Uh, you're a sociopath.

You've got a weird misconception about superheroes.

- It's already kind of warm.
We're going to pull up to my beach house in a minute And you're going to strangle my neighbor's cat.

- Okay.
- I'm gonna talk again now.

Oh my God, that's adorable.
- Oh, thank you.
- That's so bold of you.
- I think you're pretty cute too.
- Hold on.
That's why I've been looming here for So, first of all, I really appreciate the offer, But as far as attractiveness goes, I'm kind of up in this area - And you're down here.
- You didn't really need to draw this out.
And I would be willing to totally dip you Into this middle zone under certain circumstances - Right.
- But it would be hard to explain to people - If I went too low.
- Too low.
- Yeah, no one would believe me.
- Right.
I wouldn't want to do that to you, or me for that matter.
- It's really thoughtful of you.
- Oh, you're so welcome.

- Really helpful Tim.
- Cock cock cock cock! - That cock can suck my cock! - Just a quick note You've got to get more creative on your swear words, Stan.
There's a real rainbow of words that you could use, but I'm you know what? O'Flaherty just banned me from his bar for life.
- O'Flaherty? - Yeah.
Why? He likes you.
The old one, not the young one.
What did you do to get banned? I didn't do anything.
I did nothing at all.
We were playing pool.
I scratched.
This guy behind me said, "hey, you scratched," So I took my pool cue, I smashed it across his face.
- That's not nothing.
- Then his girlfriend decides to pipe in - And I said, "you want some, bitch?" - Okay.
So I smashed a beer bottle across her face.
Even if you just said, "you want some, bitch?" - That would've been bad enough.
- Enough to get banned.
- all right.
Keep backing it out of here.
- Good riddance.
- What is this? What are you doing? What does it look like I'm doing? I'm getting rid of the pool table.
Whoa.
Whoa whoa.
You can't do this.
This was literally my only form of exercise.
Look, I don't know what my son allowed in here, But I will not have it in my bar.
Since 1909 we've had three rules in here.
- Yeah? - No fighting.
No cursing.
No discover card.
That's a hasty decision.
You come out of retirement - And you yank the table.
- See now, don't bother.
- Don't even try.
- I've got the floor.
Tim's got the floor.
The floor? It's my fucking floor.
Shut up.
Get out.
You want to be banned? I'll ban you.
You're gonna ban me? No, I'm Tim.
Yeah, you sound like you want to get banned.
- No, I don't want to get banned.
- No, I do agree With O'Flaherty the elder.
He has that tone.
- Yeah, doesn't he? - Yeah.
Look.
These guys take the pool too seriously, Too many fights, so I'm replacing it with ping-pong.
- Ping-pong? Ding-dong! It's time for ping-pong.
Come on, who's first? No, don't unveil the new table that way.
It's not gonna draw a crowd if you introduce it like that.
- My apologies.
- I wouldn't mind playing.
- I'm actually very good.
- Really? In college, they actually used to call me king pong.
Sounds like you were really a groovy dude.
- Sarcasm.
- You picked up on that.
- Who wants to play? Stu? - No, I'm just too depressed.
Maybe I would play if We had some nachos or something.
- Trying to get nachos out of the deal? - Maybe.
- I'm not gonna do it.
- Nachos coming up.
One or two? - Two please.

I'm worried about you.
Don't be worried about me.
You should be psyched for me.
