Did you change Doug’s electrical specifications?
I most certainly did. For God’s sake, why? The reason should be obvious, especially to you.
We’ve got a fire, and if it was caused by anything you did I’m going to hang you out to dry, then I’m going to hang you!
Doug I think you are overreacting
Every piece of wire I put in that building is strictly up to code – inspected and approved.
For what it’s worth, Architect, this is one building I figured would never burn.
Have you been screwing around with my electrical specifacations?

How are you going to get the explosives up here?

So How do I get back down?
