- Tim: I think you're just... great. Because you know what's so great about you? You're real. You don't pretend like you've got it all figured out, like everyone else walking around life. You're real. You're genuine, and you notice things, too. You pay attention. Like the monkeys. I don't know. I look at you, and... I can see you. I see you. I don't know. I just think you're great.
- Hal Baker: Why'd you choose to do this robot thing...
- Tim: Why'd I choose to do it, Umm. It just happens to be my talent. And I feel like, I also thought, you know, it might be something to brighten people's lives up.
- Hal Baker: Whaddya mean?
- Tim: I guess I feel that modern life can be alienating, and it can be like you're mindlessly walking through it. Like a robot. And you can feel lost. I guess I just want people to know that they're not crazy, that everybody at home and everybody watching the show today, you're not crazy. I mean life is crazy, right? Maybe if you see a giant mechanical man, you know, wandering down the street toward you, maybe that it could put it into perspective for you, you know?
- Mitch's Sidekick: So it's 50 inches. How much that cost you?
- Mitch: Like, three grand.
- Mitch's Sidekick: Oh, that's not bad.
- Tim: You're kidding, right?
- Mitch: Excuse me...
- Tim: Three thousand dollars for a TV? Ever heard of books?
- Mitch: No, we didn't have those at Harvard.
- Tim: It's depressing.
- Janice: What do you mean?
- Tim: I mean, human beings evolved out of millions of years out of the swamp, and stood up, made fire, built shelter, invented the wheel... For what, so you could stand in a funny hat and sell grape juice gorillas?
- Janice: I'm kinda trying not to think about it like that.
