Eileen sticks her beak in and reckons that Danny isn't responsible for such a job anyway and Max immediately sets on her.

MAX: Now listen! I'm sick of you sticking your beak in where it's not wanted, just butt out!
EILEEN: I beg your pardon?
MAX: You heard. Now either you keep your nose out of this family's personal affairs or you can get out of the house altogether.
EILEEN: Right. I will. I resign. As of this moment, I resign.

WALLY: Cut for deal.
