Gene, you are really not helping your case right now.
Tony's now upgrading from 'concern' to 'moderate alarm': Gene is an intensely emotional person, but he usually keeps tight control over himself. Too tight, if anything. This rapid switching between uncontrolled emotions is starting to freak Tony out.
Normally he might try to just out-stubborn Gene (which usually doesn't get anywhere, but, you know, force of habit). But the way Gene's acting, Tony thinks that's not a good idea.
"Okay. But will you at least take the rest of the day off and let somebody check you out? And maybe take it easy for the next couple days. You know, shorter hours, and leave the manual labor to the people who are getting paid to do it. Go hands-off for a while."
