Elliot Hopper: Hello, Mr. Collins?
Mr. Emery Collins: [furious] Why weren't you at the bank meeting, Hopper? This merger is falling apart! Where have you been all afternoon? We had negotiating committees from both firms waiting for you. And you never had the courtesy to call us and tell us you were standing us up!
Elliot Hopper: Mr. Collins, I can assure you...
Mr. Emery Collins: If you blow this deal, Hopper, do you know what I personally will do to you?
