Mr. Keman asks Mr. Long if he's sure that the company wants to hand over the North District reconstruction project to him. He's heard about it in the news, and it's been a hot topic in the past few days. He doesn't want to be a part of the project that's going to go to someone who's not really up to the task. He wants to be able to do the job himself. He says that he'll do whatever it takes to make sure the project is done right. He also says that if he can't manage the project himself, then it won't be a success. He warns that if Mrs. Long manages to screw up the project, they'll have to pay for it.
