MR. PERRY: Don't you
dare talk back to me! It's bad enough that you've
wasted your time with this, this

NEIL: No. Nobody--I

MR. PERRY: Did you
think I wasn't going to find out? "Oh, my niece is in a play with
your son," says Mrs. Marks. "No, no, no," I say, "you must be

quitting.
NEIL: No, I can't. I

sir.
MR. PERRY: I made a

let me down.
NEIL: No,
sir.
