PAUL: Just what the hell is going on over there? Every time I take a call it's one of you two whinging about the other.
GABY: I just thought you should know what's going on...
PAUL: I think that's pretty clear. The two of you are so busy whining at each other, nothing's getting done.
PHIL: Hang on a minute, Paul. Gaby's the one that's...
PAUL: Will you cut it?! I'm six thousand miles away and I don't know who's right and who's wrong.
GABY: Well, Paul, if you would listen to me...
PAUL: Quite frankly, I can't trust either of you anymore, so I'm taking it out of your hands. Now, one of my senior people is on his way and he'll see exactly what you two are up to. Oh, and by the way, Jack Parker has my authority to replace either of you. Or both! Now, do I make myself clear?
