Oh yeah, that was overly Clintlike.  I hope it's the one Nicholas had 
in mind, because if someone reminds me of a 2nd one, I'll be really 
ticked off.  I cringed when I saw it on the preview.  Even though I 
found it kind of, um, attractive at the same time.  *looks 
embarrassed, makes circles on rug with toe*

I excused it to myself with the fact that whereas Clint is a macho, 
swaggering guy, Harry's "Don't worry, I will be" is not so macho 
because in the context, it is less about dominance than it is about 
persistence.  I.e., "you just did a fine job almost getting me 
killed, but it didn't work," not "better watch your step, Mr. M, I'm 
the boss around here and I'll be keeping an eye on you."

Rationalizingly,
