Phil: Okay, how does this sound? "Mitchell, I love you very much, I not only love you, but admire you, and someday I hope to"-
Claire: Are you firing him or proposing to him?
Phil: Honey, this was supposed to be a part-time job. He was gonna be done in the summer anyway.
Claire: Just be direct.
Phil: I should have warned him. How do you tell someone they have a reputation for being lazy?
Claire: Mitchell? Lazy?
Phil: Yeah. Yeah. He handed in a couple of contracts late, but I didn't want to say anything because he's practically doing this for free. I can't do this! This isn't the face of a cold-blooded hatchet man. Will you do it?
