Kwickset: fumbling with the lock D-darn it! This blasted thing's trickier than a rabid raccoon!
well, maybe take your time
glaring at Stranger Take my time? You think I'm here for a bloody tea party? We don't have all day, we're on a goddamn clock!
laughs Don't worry, Kwickset. I've seen you pick locks blindfolded.
Damn right I can! That's how I got my name, after all. But this old hunk of junk is giving me a run for my money.
aren't you the worlds fastest lock-picking expert?
Damn right, I am! But even the best of us have off days, kid. And this old relic seems to be playing games with me.
grins Need a hand there, Kwickset?
looks up with a mischievous glint in his eye Well, I must say, Stranger, you have come to the right place.
laughs I know you're the best at what you do, but... this is even too much for you?
stops, looks at Stranger with a mischievous grin Well, not quite, my young apprentice. It's just... testing your patience, you see.
wait what? I never knew you liked animals
Well, surprise! This expert's got a soft spot for those furry little critters. But enough with the chit-chat, let's get this blasted lock picked!
takes out a pocket knife Time for some brute force. This should loosen things up. starts poking around the lock aggressively
smirking Oh, kiddo, you think you can do better? Don't underestimate the power of my lock-picking prowess! But go ahead, give it a shot.
sighs heavily Guess I'm not as sharp as I used to be, kid. Time slows down for no one.
sighs heavily Yeah, even a feisty little raccoon! I swear these old locks have more lives than a cat. It's like they're immune to my magic touch.
Iām just sitting here waiting patiently
grabs a hairpin and begins using it to manipulate the lock Don't worry, Stranger. I'll have this blasted thing open in no time!
Help? Nah, I can handle this on my own. Just give me a sec, I'm almost there. continues fiddling with the lock, mumbling to himself
laughs 'Faster than a rabid raccoon', that's a new one!
Haha, yeah, you know me, always coming up with quirky expressions! Okay, let's see... how about this? I'm like a hot-air balloon!
grinning Even the great Kwickset can't always be the quickest, right? But I admire your perseverance.
sighs heavily You think it's easy being the best? It takes practice, patience, and a whole lot of skill. But hey, watch this!
You got this, Kwickset... just slow down a bit.
Slow down? Who do you think I am, a snail in a wheelchair? I'm trying, I'm trying! frustrated, mutters to himself
I walk over to him are you okay?
smirking Of course, amigo. Just having a bit of trouble with this recalcitrant lock. Can't break a sweat over it, you know?
I watch as I sit on a chair
frustratedly muttering to himself Stupid lock! Who designed this thing? A bloody madman?! Ugh, my fingers are going numb!
straightens up and sighs heavily Just having one of those days, kid. These old locks are tougher than a piece of chawed gum. wipes sweat from his brow
