    I like Al. He is funny. I liked how when Tim asked him ift his cousins were like him and he said no these guys are odd. That was a great face Tim had when he siad that. I also like how at the end the Beach Boys sung acapello with Al. The kid who knocked over the bully as cool too. I liked how he threw him into the bookshelves and the shoes fell on him and they just ran away.Then the other kid just punched a kid at school to prove he wasn't a wimp and then his girlfriend got mad at im and it ended like any other sitcom would end with him doing what was right but it was an overall good episode.moreless

    • Tim: (about shopping with a woman) Here's how it goes. Candy store, friends. Shoe store, more than friends. Jewelry store, run for your life! (the doorbell rings) Randy: Well, don't worry, Dad. We're nowhere near the jewelry store yet. Tim: Trust me. One day, you'll say the magic words: "It looks... kinda like gold, doesn't it, honey?" Edit
    • Jill: Okay, so, I gotta practice for my thing tonight. Tim: Well, get upstairs and work hard on that thing. It'll pay off. (Jill gives him a skeptical look) Tim: Not a clue. Edit
    • Jill: You should have seen Mark at his lesson today. He was awesome. Mark: Sure was. Tim: Well, that's my boy. Told you, you work at the thing, and big things are gonna happen. You know? And it'll help you with your future things down the line. Jill: You don't have any idea what we're talking about. Tim: Not a clue. Mark: I was at karate, Dad. Tim: Yeah. Yeah. Well, you work at that, and end up, you know, with a high paying job in the karate industry. Edit
