as soon as possible.

Let's try and do this quick.

- Okay?

- I can't hear you, man.

What did he say?

Did you manage

to find a backup plan for Dubai?

Can George go?

Gary, listen to me.

You cannot not go to Dubai.

Do I have to remind you

how much this contract

Is worth?

I know.

I'm sorry.

I wish this would have hit me

At a better time.

You wish what would have

you hit you, for f***'s sake?

The decision

to stop everything.

Allan, I won't change my mind.

Better...

Gary?

Hello?

Hello?

Well, hold on.

Hold on.

Hold... Hey, Gary.

Gary, I am not trying to get

you to change your mind.

I mean, I never argue

with my clients about

Any of their reasons for doing

whatever it is they f***ing do.

But you're sitting

on a bombshell here.

Resigning without notice

on a business trip

Is an abandonment

Of professional responsibility.

If Allan or Dennis

decide to sue,

We have no chance

of winning, zero, zip, nada.

And I don't even want to think

about the damages.

There's no need

for dramatics, don.

What?

I said there's no need

for dramatics.

Allan would never sue me.

Yeah, well, that's not

the impression I got

From his message.

Anyway, he's not alone.

Has Dennis called yet?

No.

But there's no damage done.

Someone familiar with the contract

will take over for me.

Simple as that.

Well, the trouble is, Gary,

I'm in New York for the day.

I don't have time to put

out these fires.

I'm get Kopinsky on it,

all right?

Why don't you call the office

And give him the deets and...

And... And we'll just figure

What we face here.

There's something else

I need to...

Hang on.

Just a sec.

Hello?

Gary, it's... It's me.

It's Allan.

Allan, one second.

Oh, Jesus.

Don, I'm sorry.

I have to go.

Gary, do not f*** up

with Allan.

Don't commit to anything.

Nothing in writing, okay?

No e-Mails,

no text mes... Nothing.

I'll call you when I can.

Gary...

what is going on with you?

Would you please explain it

To me?

I've had enough, I think.

That's all.

Yeah?

Th-That's a bit

of a short answer,

Don't you think?

You do realize the sh*t

we're in because of you?

George can handle it.

Yeah, well, f*** George!

I'm not talking

about Dubai here.

I'm talking island inc.

You can't just quit, Gary.

It's out of the question.

Not with the Stuttgart signing

Just two weeks away.

God damn it, you know all this!

I know, Allan.

What do you want me to say?

Everything.

I want you

to tell me everything.

Why are you doing this?

Why now, of all times?

I mean, you can't just quit like

This, Gary, all right?

I mean, not without at least

Giving me some notice.

When... When did you make

This decision?
