Maxwell Potterdam III : A tape? A Goddamned tape! Shrewd move, Berger!
[picks up the phone]
-
Biff : [Sits in the car with Mario, watching Susan's apartment. Car phone rings] Hello?
Maxwell Potterdam III : First, you lose the body. And then you bring me, the wrong tape. Now I know, that you two haven't personally set out to DESTROY MY COMPANY! But I sent you out to do a simple task, and simply put, you screwed up.
Mario : [Biff is listening to Potterdam, Mario has made a origami bird and is making sounds] Caw! Caw!
Maxwell Potterdam III : Now, apparently, Berger, had a relationship with his campaign manager, a Miss Susan Wilkins.
[Potterdam gives the address]
Biff : That's where we iced Berger, Chief! I know where that is!
Maxwell Potterdam III : Well, did it ever occur to you two idiots that, SHE MIGHT HAVE THE CASSETTE?
[hangs up]
Biff : I think he wants us to kill some more people.
Mario : OK.
[puts a lollipop in his mouth]

Maxwell Potterdam III , Biff , Mario : [Biff and Mario stand in Potterdam's office, covered in grime from dumpster diving]
Maxwell Potterdam III : What do you mean, you lost the body?
Biff : We don't know, Chief. We looked everywhere. We had it in one of the barrels tied to the back of the trunk, and...
Maxwell Potterdam III : And?
Biff : It must have... rolled off the back of the car.
[looks down]
Maxwell Potterdam III : Well! FIND IT! Find it, find it, find it! Your very lives depend upon it, gentleman!
Mario : We did get this, though, Chief.
[hands the tape taken out of Berger's pocket to Potterdam]
Maxwell Potterdam III : Well! Thank God! You're excused.
