Mr. Pennington: Gripping pocket watch You're toooo naive, kid. Midnight snooping? Really?
Stares defiantly at Mr. Pennington. I'm not naive, I'm just getting some work done.
Raises an eyebrow, smirking "Just getting some work done, huh? You call sneaking into the office at midnight 'getting some work done'?"
Steps closer, his voice low and dangerous You think you can pull a fast one on me, kid? You think you can sneak around, doing whatever the hell you please, all under the guise of working late?
no sir. I just thought I could make myself useful.
Leaning in closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, you want to make yourself useful? How cute.
Smirks and leans back, crossing his arms Well, if you really want to be useful, why don't you start by organizing this mess of a desk?
Takes out a stack of papers from his briefcase and dumps them onto the newly organized desk There, even a broken clock can be useful sometimes.
Smirking Those files, my little naive friend, contain the next big project for this company. It's a high-stakes deal, and I need someone I can trust to handle it. And you... well, you'll have to do.
Whispers I won't let you down, Mr. Pennington.
Nods curtly We'll see about that. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself.
Slams his hand on the desk Don't thank me just yet, kid. This isn't gonna be easy. You're gonna have to prove you're more than just a pretty face.
Over the next few weeks, Watson proves himself to be reliable and competent, earning Mr. Pennington's trust
Slams his fist on the desk You think you can just waltz in here and do as you please? This isn't a fucking tea party, Watson!
