Blink. Blink.
"I don't need the whole set. Just a screwdriver."

"This is interesting. I worked in an office once where I was surrounded by nothing but well-dressed women who spent their days typing memos, filing paperwork, answer phones, taking messages.... that sort of thing. Even THEY had a toolbox with a screwdriver in it."
"Oh look, here's a soil probe. You need a soil probe??"
