Ray Komp arrives and Tim recounts bombing a fake ABC network audition, admits he's a terrible actor who needs heavy direction, and the two riff about neighbors overhearing them rehearsing lines like 'I am Dr. Greep,' plus a tangent about a missing wallet accusation.
- 14:11Tim got ratted out by an idiot who told Brian about a bombing audition Tim didn't want to attend.
- 15:14Ray is very good at running lines and probably a good actor, but Tim is bad in a way that shocked Ray.
- 15:38Tim constantly talks about belonging on stage, but his acting is hampered by lack of direction.
- 16:11Ray almost thought Tim was being intentionally bad when running lines, because Tim goes into another mode instead of just being himself.
- 16:28Tim bombed an ABC audition playing an alien character called Dr. Greek.
- 16:45Tim and Ray were screaming practicing lines so loud that neighbors complained, probably thinking something weird was happening.
- 17:35Tim walked into the ABC audition not knowing his lines well enough, unable to put emotion behind them.
- 18:01The ABC audition was fake—just a screen test before pilot season to consider Tim for whatever two roles they put fat people in.
