TOM: Well what time is it, genius?

GARY (looking at a watch that doesn't exist, as his wrists are bare): I don't know.

TOM (exasperated): What time do you get off work?

GARY: What time did I get off work? Uh, today's Friday, right?

TOM: No, it's Saturday. (shouting) WHO CARES WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT IS?
