Iz [cynically]: Do we?
Mr. Jones: I know you've had contact with Rose. It wasn't your doing, but it still happened.
Panel 3: Iz squeezes his eyes shut and crosses his fingers.
Iz [thinks]: Please fire me please fire me please--
Mr. Jones: This is therefore the perfect time for us to move on to the next stage of the plan.
Panel 4: The cynical expression returns.
Iz [thinks]: Of course there would be a plan.
Mr. Jones: It's a really good one. You're going to hate it.
