HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: I've almost got it . . . almost . . .

ARGYLE: Right here, boss! You can't see me, 'cause I snuck in using a Stealth Boy – pretty clever, eh?

HERBERT “DARING” DASHWOOD: Argyle, you magnificent b-

ARGYLE: (INTERRUPTS DASHWOOD): Enough with the praise, boss! We still gotta get out of here!
