2008-11-28: Quickly Eats The Boss (investigation)
A nice job
Dr Quickly's job at the factory is to eat all the pies that come down the conveyor belt.

- Variations

- fritata del taco? suggested: Dr. Quickly is in big trouble after "accidentally" eating a figure of authority
Text transcript
Rabid: Stop the pie line! There's been a terrible accident!! Dr Quickly: Huh? Rabot: Signs of a struggle, looks like it happened last night... but none of the footprints match Dr Quickly's. Only two pairs... very similar. Rabot: Rabish already took payment on his life insurance?! Noel: She said she had to leave town! Rabot: Sorry about the misunderstanding, you're free to go. Do you need a ride? Dr Quickly: No, uh, I will call a cab. Rabid: There's a bit of a problem with your cut of the insurance money. Dr Quickly: Why does it look like you're driving off a cliff? Rabid: See, I'm just getting to that. Rabid: Guess I don't need this any longer!!
