If I hadn't been late, I wouldn't have made so much noise coming into the meeting. I mean, I think the two are linked. If I had been on time I probably would have been one of the first ones there, and my noise wouldn't be noise but would just be the sound of coming in, and when everyone else came in I would already be in my chair and I would not say anything.

And maybe Tom would come in late, and make noise, that jackass.
