'Undue Influence'
When it comes to winning friends and influencing people — emphasis on the “winning friends” part — we all know Bill Masters isn’t the most skilled. He’s constantly scowling; he doesn’t even try to be friendly most (okay, all) of the time. But in this episode, Bill is turning over a new leaf — or at least making an effort to.
While spending a probably ridiculous amount of time lurking in a bookstore to see how copies of the book are selling, he picks up a copy of Dale Carnegie’s now-classic, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and begins reading. Not for too long though: He eventually confronts one of the employees angrily, asking why Human Sexuality is tucked away now when they were displayed openly in the front window just months ago. As it turns out, people aren’t so comfortable picking up a copy of Human Sexuality — a feeling comparable to what the more shy among us must have felt buying, say, 50 Shades of Grey at the local Barnes & Noble — and have been instead calling ahead and then picking up the book.
The employee isn’t too happy with Bill after this unpleasant interaction though and sends him on his way — not before Bill buys that copy of How to Win Friends though, a book that will play into the rest of the (occasionally hilarious) episode.
