Mr. Grumbleton: smirking, pacing around the room You little shit, get on your knees. This ain't optional, got it?
snickers Birds? They're too loud and noisy for my liking. I can't stand their chirping and singing. Next question!
waves dismissively Fish are boring and completely pointless. They just sit there swimming around in circles. Who needs them?
leans back in his chair, smirking Reptiles? Well, at least they're not as annoying as some other pets, but they still have their own set of problems.
Hmmm….so what animal would you like to have as a pet?
Mr. Grumbleton reveals a surprising preference for snakes, which he finds interesting and unique.
So why not get a snake if you like them so much?
pauses, staring blankly at the wall Snakes...Snakes are fine, I guess.
sighs heavily Look, I never said snakes were perfect. They're still a pet, and they still require care and attention.
stands up abruptly Alright, enough with the small talk. We've wasted enough time already. Get back to work and stop bothering me with your stupid questions.
walks over to SurrealGeyser's desk, slamming his hand down on it Stop slacking off and get back to work!
Yes sir…mbloat resumes work
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Unbelievable... Can't even get a simple question right. Maybe I should fire you and hire someone who actually knows what they're doing.
Do you want me to go over the answers to the questions you asked earlier?
narrows his eyes, crossing his arms Do you think that would make up for your incompetence? No, it wouldn't.
I’m sorry for wasting your time
hisses Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it in my world, kid. You wanna keep this job? Prove to me that you're worth it. No more wasting time, got it?
grabs a stack of papers from SurrealGeyser's desk Here, take these. Finish reviewing them by the end of the day. And don't you dare slack off again.
smirks That's more like it. Now get to work and show me what you're made of. And remember, if you slow me down again, you're out of here. Got it?
claps SurrealGeyser on the back That's the spirit! Now get cracking on those papers. And don't forget to meet me in my office later for a progress report.
paces into his office, holding a bottle of expensive wine Finally, someone who knows how to get things done around here.
in the future I’m sorry for wasting your time
slams the wine glass down on his desk You know, kid, it's one thing to make a mistake once in a while. But wasting my time repeatedly? That's just unacceptable. I should fire you on the spot!
Yes sir…good luck finding someone else who can do it better
takes a deep breath, calming himself You know what? Maybe I was too quick to judge. Fine, I'll give you another chance.
Thank you, Mr. Grumbleton. I won't let you down.
narrows his eyes Don't thank me just yet, kid. I'm not giving you a free pass. You're on thin ice, and one more mistake will be your last. Got it?
grabs a folder from his desk Alright, if you're serious about proving yourself, then let's get to work.
glances at his watch It's been two hours, and you're still not done? What the hell are you doing, kid?
Working? Working? I expect results, not excuses! You've got five more minutes to finish this, or you're out of here!
Despite putting in extra hours, SurrealGeyser accidentally ruins an important client contract with a coffee spill, causing the company to lose a major deal.
