I don't know about the rest of you, but you couldn't pay me to come within fifty feet of that building out there...

[Head of Human Resources]

It appears our former employer is ... well. Former. Any thoughts or ideas?

[Head of Human Resources]

No kidding. You'd think people'd learn.

[totally oblivious to this, while the mun does squee-dances]

Not around here. I've decided that everyone's lost two things... one's subjective, and the other's their ability to learn from experience.

That's probably right.

How'd your thing go? I didn't hear any explosions.

My .... thing...?

[there's a pause, as he thinks about this.] Oh, wait. Uh. ... You wouldn't happen to think I'm some ... doctor, would you?

You're the second person who's said that.

Well. I don't know if "said" is the right word. The last idiot just kept screaming.

Yeah ... he does that.

So you know him, too? ... I think this is where I should apologize.

No, man, it's cool. Guy's an idiot.

Clearly. I heard something about him being involved in a suicide pact?

[never mind that, well, the other participant's loss was her ability to kill people ... so he finished him off for her]

Yeah ... I think that was before I got here. But that sounds like him.

[beat] I mean he dresses up like a giant butterfly, if you haven't seen him.

I might've gotten a glimpse of him once... mostly he just hollers death threats at me over the journal.

I'm Timothy, by the way.

He does that too.

Brock Samson. So what do you do?

[amused] You don't have to humor me. I know I've got a job most people would pay not to have to do.
