You're gonna fit right in. Everyone in here is innocent. Heywood, what're you in here for?

The speaker promises that someone will fit in, then claims everyone present is innocent. Asking Heywood what brought him there invites a test of that sweeping claim. Read sarcastically, the welcome makes professions of innocence sound like a familiar habit within the group.
