Mrs. Elliott:
I would love to chat, Mr. Clark, but I have a concert next week in New York and I would like to be prepared.

Joe Clark:
What?

Mrs. Elliott:
Prepare. You do know what that means. It means capable, ready, and up to your job.

Joe Clark:
What concert, Mrs. Elliott?

Mrs. Elliott:
The one at Lincoln Center. We do it every year.

Joe Clark:
Until now. Your concert is cancelled.

Mrs. Elliott:
What?

Joe Clark:
CANCELLED! You do know what cancelled means, don't you Mrs. Elliott? Over! Finished! Terminated!

Mrs. Elliott:
WHY? These children have worked too hard!

Joe Clark:
And for not telling me for one thing!

Mrs. Elliott:
I filed a form in your office! Why don't you talk to...

Joe Clark:
And for RANK insubordination! You've questioned my judgement, my intelligence!

Mrs. Elliott:
You're the one that comes around here to bother me! You're a bully, and a despicable man! I have nothing to say to you!

Joe Clark:
Alright, let's just accommodate that, Mrs. Elliott! YOU'RE FIRED!

Mrs. Elliott:
You need a psychiatrist!

Joe Clark:
GET OUT! RIGHT NOW!

Mrs. Elliott:
Fine, fine! Fired? Fired? YOU WILL HEAR FROM MY LAWYER! [Hits the wall]
