PHIL: Alright, Paul, I'm afraid if you feel that way I have no alternative. If Gaby has to go, then I'm afraid I'm going too. Yes, it's an ultimatum if you want to look at it that way. Paul, you hired me as manager, I should have the right to decide who I work with! Yeah, alright. You call me back when you've made the decision. I'm sorry you feel that way too.

Phil puts the phone down, then turns and sees Gaby there. She thanks him.
