In the grand scheme of things, the position of comptroller is very important, but nothing about it screams “badass.” In last season’s Tragical History, Cyril tried to show his ISIS coworkers that he was more than just a numbers cruncher.

Slick’s Nit-Picks: Chronicle
Hi, may I have two tickets for Akira? …..Oops, I meant Chronicle, of course.
