I agree with Dax. The only thing Pearl really did wrong was not blush and say "awww, shucks," after he was caught. He lied. Any avid Scooby-Doo watcher can tell you that everyone tries to lie when they get caught. If anything, his lying tells me that he's exactly the man for the job. He's a guy who wants to win and will do anything to achieve those wins. The only reason not to hire him is his forth-coming hearing. Since it looks like Frank might drag his feet on moving to Miami until June, we might be able to her Pearl on the "courthouse steps" if his hearing goes well.
