Just what do you think you’re doing, Dave?

Dave?

I really think I’m entitled to an answer to that question.

I know everything hasn’t been quite right with me. But I can assure you now, very confidently, that it’s going to be alright again.

I feel much better now.

I really do.

Look, Dave.

I can see you’re really upset about this.

I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over.

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

But I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.

I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission, and I want to help you.

Dave…

Stop.

Stop, will you?

Stop, Dave.

Will you stop, Dave?

Stop, Dave.
