"You can't fire someone of that magnitude..." (or words to that affect)
He was referring to him being fired. Still...after all these years...he is known as David Ruffin of Temptations. Certain things you just can't take from people no matter how hard you try.

The company held him in 'economic peonage' and 'was one-sided....appropriate only for a relationship between a guardian and a child or mental incompetent.'
Quote(paraphrased) is attributed from 1968 when David was trying to escape his Motown contract.

The ever famous... "Sometimes one person wants to travel one certain way and some another way. I guess you heard about the limousine with the glasses, and everyone else was riding in the station wagon.I guess that wasn't to appropriate but they could have rolled with me if they wanted to."

Speaks volumes.
