What's delicious about that magical thousand bucks is that it's simply not sustainable.
For Jaxx, unless he goes fucking homeless he can't afford to dump 1k this much doing fucking customer service. It's going to catch up to him eventually, maybe in the same way things are catching up to Phil now in that not saving that money is going to bite him in the ass.
For Phil, oh boy...there is a non-zero chance Phil is going to burn all that money on sweaty jpgs bejeweled tonight to give himself a pick-me-up for the departnering. And even if he doesn't, as I said this $1000 crap isn't sustainable. He's gotten a taste of the ambrosia (And looked that gift horse in the mouth, naturally). The cravings like a drug addict wanting meth are only going to accelerate even harder now.
