This Guy: "Named This Guy."
[ Humming ]
Move it, you big lug!
"Big lug"?
Do you mean that?
No, I project my insecurities onto others
to hide my own shortcomings.
And now that I look at you again,
I realize you are, in reality, not big, but normal-sized.
If anything, you're on the small side.
That's why I hired you.
Thank you.
Scooby boop, scooby boop.
Everyone look at me because I crave attention!
Tiggy, did you find the lost alarm clock?
Here you go, ya big lug!
Just kidding. You're actually normal-sized.
Small, even!
This isn't an alarm clock. It's a time bomb!

Pfft, easy for you to say.
You come off great with all that screwdriver action,

How about I go project my insecurities
onto his face with my knuckles?!
Now, let's not be hasty.
After all, zee pen is mightier than zee sword.
Tiggy's right!
Stick him with the pen!
No, Boss, we can change the story
to make ourselves look better.
Yeah, and then we'll send it to the papers,
and everyone will see who the real heroes are!
Okay, let's see here.
Make us look good!
Better! Better!
I'm trying!
Think of the moose paper!
There -- I'd say we kept the revisions pretty minimal.
Hmm, it's missing something.
I know just the thing!
Hmm.
Sure, why not?
This Guy, l-look at me.
Look at me. Over here. Yes?
I got a real brain twister for you.
How many, uh, days are in a weekend?
Two.
What about Sunday? I counted Sunday.
Nuritza: Fascinating!
Tell us more!
Okay.
At the turn of the 20th century,
the creation of the assembly line
caused an increase in worker efficiency,
leaving time to be set aside for leisure activities.
But when -- Okay, gotta go!
Tiggy.
A word. This Guy.
Uh, wha-what would you possibly want to talk to me about?
I need to apologize for being curt with you earlier.
The truth is, I've been writing stories,
and they're deeply personal.
Oh, I never would have guessed.
It's true.
Compared to you and Gweeseek,
my role in the department isn't very exciting.
But in my stories, I can have my own adventures.
I know it sounds silly.
No, no, no, no, that --
that doesn't sound silly at all.
Truthfully, if anyone read my stories,
I would be utterly humiliated.
Humiliated?
Utterly.
So, if someone were to,
I don't know... [ Inhales deeply ]
...open your desk using the code "000"
and take out your notebook
and show it to everyone and rewrite your story
and send it to the newspaper,
that would be bad?
[ Laughs ]
Tiggy, now that's a good joke.
Gyuuhhh...
Huh?!
Wait, no! Stop! Stop!
Desist!
Do not deliver that postage!
Halt!
There's been a horrible mistake.
Huh? Did you deliver my mail yet?
No, it's been 90 seconds --
and there's no stamp.
And it's addressed to the...
"Moose paper"?
Oh, thank the --
Oh, phew!
Now, before you read it,
I want you to know that I'm really sorry we--
Some things are better left unread.
Ya know, if you ever want anyone to bounce ideas around with
for your next story, I'm full of a bunch--
What's this?
A sealed envelope?
Maybe I should take a gander at this.
