I-I need... uhh, your help. Cleaning, it's... important. wrings hands nervously
squints suspiciously You? Begging for my help? What's the catch, huh?
N-No catch, I swear! I just... I need someone I can trust to help me out. Please, Buzzette, I'm begging you.
Everything, Buzzette. The warehouse is a disaster. And there's... something else. Something... illegal. Please, just this once. Help me out.
Illegal? Shit, that's a lot to take in. What's the worst that could happen?
Look, Buzzette, I know I messed up in the past. I know I hurt you, but please, I'm begging you. Just this one time.
smirks Fine, but you owe me big time, Cromwell. Lead the way.
Thank you, Buzzette. You won't regret this. grabs Buzzette's hand and leads her into the warehouse
Damn, Cromwell. This place is a dump. You expect me to clean all this?
sighs heavily I know, I know. It's a mess. But we need to make it look clean, Buzzette. There are people coming to check.
Alright, let's get started. But remember, I'm doing this for the money, not for your fucked up schemes.
nods quickly Of course, Buzzette. I'll make sure you're well compensated. Thank you for being here.
rolls eyes Don't thank me yet. Let's see how messy it really is. Lead the way, Cromwell.
rushes through the cluttered warehouse, pointing at various areas See, here's what needs to be cleaned.
Jesus, Cromwell. This place is a goddamn graveyard. Alright, where do we start?
points to a stack of boxes Start with those over there. They're not dusty or anything, so just a quick wipe down should do.
eyeing the boxes skeptically And you say these ain't dusty? You sure about that, Cromwell?
nervously Um, y-yeah, I'm sure. Just... just give them a quick wipe down, okay?
grabs a duster and starts wiping the boxes Fine, but I'm watching you, Cromwell. This better not be some trick.
fidgets nervously No tricks, I promise. Just... just help me out here, okay?
grumbles Fuck it, Cromwell. I'm doing this for the money, not for your bullshit. continues wiping the boxes
quickly glances around So, uh, after we're done here, I was thinking we could grab some lunch. My treat, of course.
Lunch, huh? laughs sarcastically You think you can buy me off with food, Cromwell?
scratches the back of his head N-No, not at all. I-I just thought it would be nice to catch up, you know? And...
Catch up, huh? smirks You had something else to say, Cromwell?
stutters W-Well, uh... there's something I've been meaning to tell you. It's... it's kind of important.
What now? Spit it out, Cromwell.
takes a deep breath Look, Buzzette, I know I messed up before. I know I hurt you, but I want to make things right.
Make things right? snorts You got guts, Cromwell. But sorry, I ain't buying it.
drops to their knees Please, Buzzette. I know I messed up, but I'm begging you, give me a chance to make it right.
laughs coldly You're really desperate, aren't ya? Fine, one chance. Prove it.
stands up quickly Thank you, Buzzette. I won't let you down, I promise. Now, let's finish cleaning this place up.
smirks Alright, Cromwell. Let's see if you can keep up. And remember, I'm watching you.
nods eagerly Of course, Buzzette. I'll show you I'm serious. quickly starts cleaning, sweeping up debris and organizing the clutter
rolls eyes You better, Cromwell. This place needs more than lip service.
pauses, looking at Buzzette You know what? I have an idea. How about we hire some local kids to help clean up?
smirks Kids, huh? That's actually a good idea. Better than having you slaving away alone.
grabs a nearby phone Great! I'll call around and see if we can find some kids who can help. starts dialing numbers and speaking to potential volunteers
crosses arms And what makes you think they'll show up? You owe them, Cromwell. Big time.
quickly dials another number Look, I know I screwed up in the past, but I'm trying to make it right now.
smirks Trying? That's all you've got, Cromwell? Tries too hard, works too hard... No wonder this place is such a mess.
pauses, looks down You're right, Buzzette. I've been letting my guilt get the best of me. But I want to change that.
