Herbert slumped onto the sofa, sighing. "This new safety protocol at Oakhaven Industries is a real drag," he grumbled to Margot, who was sorting laundry.

Margot looked up, folding a towel with precision. "What's wrong now, Herbert? Is it about following the rules?"

"It's about my conscience, Margot!" Herbert declared dramatically. "My predecessor, old Mr. Abernathy, just… ignored everything. Now I have to actually *do* inspections."

Margot raised an eyebrow. "Your conscience? Since when did you develop one of those? Last week you were trying to sell 'miracle' fertilizer made from… well, I don't even want to think about it."

Herbert waved his hand dismissively. "That was just good old-fashioned capitalism, darling! This is different. They want me to check for… I don't know… leaks! And… dangerous… stuff!"

"Dangerous stuff that Mr. Abernathy probably overlooked for years," Margot pointed out, unimpressed. "Someone could get hurt."

Herbert shuddered. "Exactly! And if they traced it back to me… even if the tip was anonymous… my donut fund would be in serious jeopardy!"

"So you're worried about donuts, not safety?" Margot asked, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Well, safety *and* donuts," Herbert corrected. "Besides, some of the equipment is so crude, I don't even know where to begin!"

Margot sighed. "Herbert, just do your job properly. Think of it as… protecting the town's supply of donuts. That should motivate you."

Herbert considered this. "Protecting the donuts… You know, you might be onto something, Margot."
