Do you know that plants respond to being threatened?

[Apropos of nothing, Crowley is here to give everyone horticulture advice.]

Honestly. Go and look at the apple trees and see if you can tell which one I've been talking to. I'll give you a tip - it's not daring to let the other ones outshine it. That's science right there.

[ Starscream looks supremely unimpressed by this supposed revelation. ]

Most things perform better when threatened, haven't you ever had to manage subordinates?

[saunteredvaguelydownwards]

No, never. Honestly I've always tried to avoid it.

[Leadership really isnt Crowley's thing. Being a subordinate isn't, either, but he really never had the choice in that.]

[ sarcastically: ] That certainly adds context to your brilliant deduction.

[saunteredvaguelydownwards]

What deduction? It's empirical evidence. I've seen it work. I don't need to have had a bunch of lackeys to yell at to understand that.

[vosseeker]

Perhaps not, but it does add an element of enjoyment to the process.

[ Starscream's management style... interesting. ]

[saunteredvaguelydownwards]

[Hah.]

You'd like my old boss, I bet. Had the same kind of attitude.

[vosseeker]

You mean, expecting subordinates to demonstrate a bare modicum of competency? How thrilling.
