The Commissioner : Forget it.
Bud Kruger : Commissioner.
The Commissioner : I said forget about it. The Mayflower is the first Lunar Shuttle to fly from a commercial terminal, and the boys on the board want that flight to go on schedule.
Bud Kruger : Well the boys on the board know about safety...
The Commissioner : Bud, get wise to the political reality. The boys on the board are under a heavy pressure from the boys downtown.
[the elevator arrives, and the doors open. Several people exit, all of them covering their ears because the elevator music is very, *very* loud. Everyone files into the elevator and puts their hands over their ears to protect them from the music, except for Bud and the Commissioner. The doors close, silencing the music]
The Commissioner : [At the fourth floor, everyone files out, and the loud elevator music is playing a rendition of "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head."]
The Commissioner : [the first part of what he says is drowned out by the loud music] The boys on the board are under pressure from the boys downtown.
Bud Kruger : And I'll be the one to crucify if that shuttle screws up.
