Taking Care Of It

Open source transcript

I'VE NOTICED A DISTURBING PATTERN IN THE ASSIGNMENTS I GIVE YOU.

YOU ALWAYS SAY YOU WILL TAKE CARE OF SOMETHING, BUT THEN YOU DON'T.

THEN, WHEN I QUESTION YOU ABOUT IT, YOU SAY YOU REALLY WILL TAKE CARE OF IT.

BUT THEN YOU DON'T SO I'M HERE TO TELL YOU IT ISN'T OPTIONAL TO DO ASSIGNMENTS.

YOU MUST DO WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I WILL TOTALLY TAKE CARE OF THAT.

OKAY, GOOD.

WHY DOESN'T THIS FEELI LIKE A WIN?
