"Come on out of the dressing room."
"Nothing doing."
"I may have promised to stand up for you at your wedding, but there's no way I can do this."
"You have to. If you don't do it, no one else will either."

"Tell you what. I'll pay for it and act like I'm going through with it, but I'll back out the day before."
"Nothing doing. You have to do it. Please?"
