Not only will I not call you this afternoon, I have instructed the receptionist to tell you I am out.

The papers will be ready for you to sign at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning.

We have no idea when the papers will be ready for you to sign, but we will keep that a secret until 4:30 Friday afternoon.
