Hot water

Boss: Look Tim, it looks like we're in a bit of hot water here.

Tim: We? You mean you're in hot water. I haven't done anything. This is your problem: you've made your bed, and now you have to lie in it.

Boss: Now that's not quite true, is it Tim? You're in charge of the stockroom, and you sold the watches, didn't you?

Tim: Well yes, but...

Boss: So you could easily have switched the real watches for fakes. You sold the real ones yourself and made a nice little profit.

Tim: You know that's not true.

Boss: But you can't prove it, can you?

Tim: Well, no, but...

Boss: Don't worry Tim, I've got a little plan. It's not quite on the level, but it should get us both out of the soup.
