“We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherf***ers.
“I don’t ever want to see it again. ever! And if you don’t do it you’re fired and If I see you do it again, you’re f***ing gone.
“And if anyone in this crew does it, that’s it — and you too and you too. And you, don’t you ever f***ing do it again.”
He continued: “That’s it. No apologies. You can tell it to the people that are losing their f***ing homes because our industry is shut down.

The recording concludes: “That’s it. Am I clear? Do you understand what I want? Do you understand the responsibility that you have?
