Lean On Me - Preparation for an Upcoming Concert
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:
Prepared. 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 competence, my intelligence!
Mrs. Elliott:
I don't want to get into this! You're the one that comes around here to bother me! You're a bully, 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: [''hits the wall'']
Fine, fine! Fired! Fired! YOU will hear from MY lawyer!
