WALLY, I'M GLAD WE WORK IN THE SAME DEPARTMENT.

BECAUSE YOUR PERFORMANCE IS SO BAD THAT YOU'LL BE DOWNSIZED FIRST.

YOU'RE LIKE A BUFFER. AS LONG AS YOU'RE STILL HERE, MY JOB IS SAFE.

AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO CHANGE THAT SITUATION.

WALLY, DO YOU MIND GIVING MY FAMILY A RIDE TO CHURCH AGAIN THIS WEEK?

NO PROBLEM IT'S NICE THAT YOU JOINED MY CHURCH EVEN THOUGH YOU LIVE AN HOUR AWAY.

AND I WOULDN'T SAY NO TO THOSE TASTY BAGELS YOU ALWAYS BRING FOR THE RIDE GAAA!!

OH... I DIDN'T SEE YOU SNEAK UP ON ME, HEATHEN... I MEAN ALICE.
