That's awesome!|What are you complaining about?

- What?|- Nice shoes.

Karen got them.|She wants me to break them in.

They're special.

Move.

I got to tell Karen.

Paul, listen to me.

Do not under|any circumstances tell Karen.

What happened last night|is perfectly natural.

We're men. We're hunters.

It's encrypted in our DNA code.

You got to accept that.|Get over it.

I don't know what|I'm going to do.

Hi, Jim.|It's Tonya from last night.

I was going to be|in the neighborhood later...

and thought I might stop by,|so give me a call.

Sh*t.

That poor girl's been Jim-ified.

This is all your fault, man.

Probably...

but Karen's|never going to find out.

And that tiki girl?

Come on.

You'll never see her again.

A survey was made one time|that covered a lot of men...

working men... and these men|were asked this question...

Why do you work?

Why do you get up|in the morning?

Why? Everyone goes to work|in the morning.

And that's the reason|they do it...

because everyone else|is doing it.

And there you have|the trouble today.

It's conformity...

people acting like everyone else|without knowing why...

or where they're going.

We'll have more with Dr. Earl...

after this short break|on KCNP...

the best talk in Seattle.

- Hi!|- Holy sh*t!

- You work here?|- First day.

What happened to the dancing?

I sucked.

Hey! Let's go, a**hole!

Just a sec. Sorry.

Listen, what's your name?

Bec... Hey!

Don't make me|get out of my box, fella!

Fifty cents.

I want you to know,|about what happened...

Have a good day.|Remember to drive safely.

Sorry!

- It's hitting the...|- I know!

Look what you...|You dented the hood of my car!

- Hang on!|- Good to see you.

Stop!

That's her.

I'm a little disturbed|about something, Paul.

What's that, sir?

You had a bachelor party?

I... lt's totally...|It's... I...

I may be|your bride-to-be's father...

but I'm still a man. Huh?

You sick son of a b*tch!

- I'll kill you!|- You're choking me!

No, it was pretty uneventful.

We watched|hours of action movies...

and talked about high school.

It was a hoot.

Good answer. That's my boy.

You like that, huh?

I know what you're thinking.

It's the good life...|like you see on TV.

"That could never happen to me."

You've made it, son.

You're one of us. Enjoy.

Welcome to the club.

Thank you.

Boys, let's get started.

I've been in this business|a long time...

and if we get "Modern Rifleman"|up to 750,000...

I'll strip down to my shorts|and jump in the ocean.

My question is...

once you've stripped down|to your shorts...

will you actually|loosen your tie?

Have I fired you today, Curt?

Enough frivolity.|Let's get down to business.

- Paul?|- Yeah?
