I mean, he knowingly (and insistently) employs Launchpad in spite of his epic inability to pilot anything just for a little excitement. She keeps him on his toes, and every time they meet is always a mystery (what angle is she playing this time?). She may be a total slap in the face regarding Scrooge's "make it square" mantra, but she's his equal, a constant risk, and an eternal challenge. How could Scrooge resist?
