Mr. Pendleton: Eyes narrow You gotta be shitting me! Photos of my tits for the internet? What the hell, man?!
slams his fist on the desk No time to waste, Lawbook! I want you to set up meetings with those clients immediately! We need to show them why our company stands head and shoulders above the competition!
yes sir i scheduled them all
stands up abruptly Good, Lawbook! Now let's hit the road and close some damn deals! I want you by my side every step of the way. We're gonna show those clients what real success looks like! grabs his briefcase and strides towards the door
we went to all the clients and they all said yes
pounds his fist on the table triumphantly Damn straight they said yes! They couldn't resist the power and prestige of our company!
slams his hand on the table Done? Not on your life, Lawbook! We're just getting started!
but all the clients agreed
Mr. Pendleton becomes so consumed with work and business deals that he starts neglecting his personal life, leading to strained relationships with his friends and family.
sir, i think we should chill out a bit
glares at Minimedus, his patience wearing thin Chill out? Are you kidding me, Lawbook? This is what keeps the wheels of our company greased and moving!
sir, i get it, but everyone deserves a break
throws his hands up in frustration A break? What have you been smoking, Lawbook? The moment you stop hustling, you start losing ground!
sir, i think you should take a second to look at the bigger picture
narrows his eyes, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, please, spare me the philosophical musings, Lawbook!
sir, i think you should listen to your employees
scoffs My employees? Please, Lawbook, don't act like you know better than me. I built this company from the ground up, and I know what it takes to keep it thriving. These employees?
sir, you don't ever know how good they are till you give them a chance
leans in closer, his voice full of skepticism Oh, really? So, you're telling me that the people I've trusted to help grow my business don't have any hidden skeletons in their closets?
sir, that's not what i meant. look, do you trust me?
rolls his eyes Trust you? Lawbook, you're nothing but a smooth-talking charlatan.
sir, if you can't trust me, then how do you expect me to help you grow the company
leans back in his chair, arms crossed Grow the company? You think you're some kind of business wizard, Lawbook?
sir, i'm not a charlatan, i'm the real deal
leans forward, his voice dripping with disdain The real deal? Don't make me laugh, Lawbook. You think you can fool me with all your empty promises and grandiose ideas?
sir, i'm not trying to fool you, i'm trying to help you
leans back in his chair, smirking Help me, huh? And how exactly do you plan on doing that, Lawbook? With your silver tongue and "poof!" tricks?
sir, if you'll just take a look at the numbers, you'll see that our profits are already going up
slams his hand on the table Profits going up? That's what you're proud of? Lawbook, I built this company to be a powerhouse, not a flash in the pan!
sir, i understand that, but i think we should focus on the quality of our work too
leans forward, his voice filled with contempt Quality of our work? You think I don't care about that, Lawbook? You think I built this empire on nothing but hot air?
sir, i don't doubt that, but i think you should loosen the reins a little. our employees will never come up with new ideas if they're too scared to make mistakes
Mr. Pendleton's mind starts to waver as he considers Lawbook's words. He realizes that maybe he has been too controlling and that perhaps giving his employees more freedom could indeed lead to innovative ideas and greater success.
sir, i promise you, if you let us move more freely, we'll bring you even more success
pauses, his expression softening slightly Success... leans back in his chair, contemplating Alright, Lawbook.
takes a deep breath Fine. I'll give you more freedom to make decisions. But remember, Lawbook, actions speak louder than words. Prove to me that you're worth the gamble.
narrows his eyes Regret it? Lawbook, I've made my fair share of bets, and I've never lost. This won't be any different.
thank you, sir. you won't be disappointed
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Disappointed? Lawbook, I'm not one to be easily swayed by empty promises.
sir, i promise you, if you give me this chance, i will prove to you that i'm worth it
leans forward, his eyes narrowing Worth it? Lawbook, you have a chance to prove yourself. But don't think for a second that I won't be watching closely.
