Guy tells her the truth, that he was an inventor, he does want to become a paint watcher and that he's not a felon (his worst crime was jaywalking), and all he's trying to do is keep the chickeraffe safe. Cue Sam running after the BADGUYS, who have Mr. Jenkins, yelling "The chickeraffee is not safe!!" convincing Michellee that Guy is not to be trusted.

* NonindicativeName: Downplayed with the Relaxation Station, the attraction where Guy works at the carnival. At first, it ''is'' very relaxing, as all he has to do is hang out in a chair over a hot tub. That is, until, someone hits the target next to him with a dart, revealing the tub to actually be a combination dunk tank/RubeGoldbergDevice.
