      (opens the bonnet)
      “So what seems to be the problem?” (dodges a sprung arrow)
      “The tuppets look like they need pulling” (sidesteps a levered axe)
      “Okay well let’s get those primed” (places a handgrenade next to water tank with a wire to the hood)
      (closes the bonnet)

    the real pro move is to do this, and then immediately fess up that you actually broke it first. you get to be honest, the second person gets a little “phew, wasn’t my fault” moment, and all around you’re both less upset about the broken thing.
