“You’re looking something happy. Did you get lucky or something?”
PHILIP
“Very funny. Wait until my wife reads this.”
TONY
“OK. So now I get to ask you for once: ‘What’s up with you with that big smile?'”
PHILIP
“Ignatieff made a big decision. He’s doing what he’s gotta do.”
TONY
“You mean the Prime Minister?”
PHILIP
“Well, he’s not the Prime Minister, not yet, anyways. But he’s got Peter Donolo on his team now. You know what’s cool? Peter’s a Montrealer, just like me. And he just turned 50, just like me.”
TONY
“So, do you know the guy? ”
PHILIP
“No. We went to different schools. Anyway, things are looking up for the Grits and that makes me happy. That’s all.”
TONY
“OK. Good for you. Are you going calm down now?”
PHILIP
“OK. But just give me some slack, OK. ”
TONY
“OK. But can you buy me a coffee?”
PHILIP
“OK.”
