Episode 89: Tim fights back
Tim: I won't do it! You swapped the real watches for the fake ones and now you're trying to wriggle out of it.
Boss: Tim, you're making some very serious allegations. Do you actually have any hard evidence?
Tim: Well, I bet the police do. I bet it's only a matter of time before you're behind bars, where you should be.
Boss: I don't think so. You're the one who sold the watches and if anyone's going to prison, it's you, Tim. But whatever happens, I think our working relationship is about to come to an end, don't you?
Tim: You mean you're firing me?
Boss: I'm sorry Tim, I think I'm going to have to let you go.
Tim: Oh no, you can't fire me, because you know what? I quit!!!
