Or was it more like this?

Scott Duxbury: Hi George, someone told me your old lady wanted to move back north.

George McCartney (Not looking up from the PS3): Well, yeah but don't worry about that I can take care of it.

SD: Keene called.

GM: OK

SD: He really likes you George!

GM (still not looking up from the PS): OK

SD: You get to keep the pay.

GM: (now showing some interest) And a sign on bonus?

SD: Yeah, but only if I can make it look like you were the one wanting to leave.

GM (now back on the PS3): OK Scotty, you do what you do best and I'll sign it!

SD: OK, cheers mate!
