Ruth reminds Neil that the stakes of this are far more personal than one PR job.
After Phil accidentally forgets his briefcase before his meeting with a journalist, his wife Ruth chases after him to see that he has it. When she crosses paths with Neil, she lashes out and reminds him that journalists were the ones putting Phil through hell in the first place. She takes care to emphasize that to them, this is personal, and much more than just another PR job.
