He should be a non-issue.
Quinn
You sure? Jacobs probably would have gone to his room if I hadn’t interrupted. What if they’re working together?
V
I doubt that. Seems Jacobs is just following in the footsteps of her mentor.
Quinn
How so?
V
Just another female archaeologist whose mind isn’t on the expedition. Fire her.
What the hell?
Quinn
Fire her? For what?
V
You don’t want another scandal like what happened in Mexico, do you?
Quinn
Weren’t you the one behind that?
V
I had nothing to do with Mejía and Matthews frolicking in the jungle.
Quinn
Well, I don’t have the authority to fire her. And it’s not a fireable offense anyway.
V
Then you call someone who does have the authority. Tell them she’s not taking the job seriously. THAT is fireable.
Quinn
And what about when Dr. Mejía finds out that I got Jacobs kicked off the job? She’ll have my head. What if we make a call to GloGeo instead and get Monfils tossed?
V
No. I told you. He’s not the problem. It has to be her. She’s the one who needs to be stopped.
Quinn
Fine. I’ll see what I can do.
V
You’d better figure out a way. Need I remind you what’s at stake? That loan I gave you wasn’t free.
