In my head, Brutus has typed something up--a report, a proposal, I don't really care--and noticed that there was a mistake--a typo, incorrect number, didn't replace the company's name in the contract, I don't really care--but still turned it in to Veeblefester instead of fixing the mistake.
"I'm sorry about that mistake, Chief..."
"I don't know why you're apologizing for your parent's shortcomings."
