Dr. Han, the new head of surgery, had fired Dr. Murphy from his department, sending him to the pathology department. Dr. Murphy wants to return to surgery. Dr. Andrews is the president of the hospital. Dr. Glassman had decided to put the issue of firing Dr. Murphy up to a vote at the board of directors.
...
Dr. Andrews: Dr. Glassman is right.
Dr. Han: You're going to propose this motion [to reinstate Dr. Murphy]?
(an unnamed character): Dt. Andrews, I don't think you have the votes to carry it.
Dr. Andrews: I agree. But I don't need the votes. Just as you have the power to fire someone under your supervision, so do I.
Dr. Han: You're going to fire me to save Dr. Murphy.
