Yesterday.

Yesterday?

Do you mean to tell me...

Honestly, Gary, this...

It's bullshit!

You can't just quit

out of the blue.

No, I disagree.

I actually thought about it

a lot last night, and I think

It's the only

possible way to do it.

What the hell

are you talking about?

I'm leaving everything

Behind, Allan.

I told you. I'm not coming back.

Not coming back meaning...?

I'm staying here in Europe.

For how long?

I have no f***ing idea.

What difference does it make?

What's going on, Gary, huh?

Did something happen?

No.

I just can't do it anymore.

I don't want to go on like this.

What do you mean,

"like this?"

Everything... The stress,

The job, Elisabeth.

Come on, Gary.

Something must have triggered

This insane decision.

What was it, huh?

W-W-Was it Matt's death?

What?

No.

Of course not.

Look, um, if it's the stress,

You can... I don't know... Um,

Stop the business trips,

Take some time off.

I'm serious.

You can take a few months off,

if you like.

Just don't do this.

Jesus, I can't be the only one

Saying this.

What does Elisabeth say?

I don't know.

Wait.

You haven't told her?

No.

I'm calling her later.

Wait. Wait.

Gary...

when you say

that you're leaving

Everything behind,

that you're not coming back...

are you leaving Elisabeth, too?

Yes.

Everything means everything.

My god.

Have you thought about her?

- A-And the kids?

- Of course I have.

They're all I've f***ing

thought about.

Who do you think I am?

Listen... Talk to Elisabeth.

Discuss it with her.

And then call me in the morning,

After you've slept on it, okay?

If you want, but it won't

Change anything.

You staying on at the Hilton?

I'm not going anywhere.

Okay.

All right.

I'll call you.

Where are you flying, ma'am?

To Singapore.

Oh.

Nice. Thank you.

Camel or Marlboro light?

Marlboro light. 3 packs, please.

Here you are.

Your room number, please?

Yeah, don?

Gary,

I just spoke to Kopinsky.

What's this about the stock?

You really want to sell

your shares of island inc.?

Yeah. I thought it over.

I'd rather,

uh, take care of everything now.

Hey, remind me... You're part

Of the blocking minority

with Allan?

Yes... Me, Allan, and Dennis.

Then we are saved.

What?

I'll just need

to call Kaufman.

Actually, I don't even

need to call him.

- It's enough to mention his name.

- Hang on.

I don't want Kaufman

getting his hands on anything.

I'm with you there, Gary.

I'm talking from a purely

Tactical standpoint.

No lawsuit, no Kaufman.

All square and even.

You never stop, do you?

Where are you?

JFK.

Heading back to San Francisco.

Listen, don, do whatever's

Best, but I don't want you

threatening Allan with Kaufman
