to be talking to other people

- So can we cover that, please?
- So dead mum, rapists.

00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,473
Yeah. All good.

157
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,871
Olly, could you assemble
a policy profile for me

158
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,952
for the Centre for Economic Reform
out of Yale?

159
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,712
Yes, I can. Uh, why?

160
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,997
Just curiosity.
It's a very interesting think tank.

161
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,231
Haven't been offered a job
or anything, have you?

162
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,517
You might comment,
I couldn't possibly say yes.

163
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,596
I mean, if you've been offered a job
we'd better start,

164
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,989
you know, looking around
for something to do ourselves.

165
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,753
No, you can't start planning an exit
from this department.

166
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:03,989
That would undermine me.

167
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,719
Nicola, there's someone
called Hannah on line three.

168
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,995
- Yes.
- She's from the Centre for Economic...

169
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,594
Thank you. Please scram. Sod off.

170
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,719
- Get out. Don't go looking for jobs.
- So what do you reckon?

171
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,916
Well, sod that.
We'd better put some feelers out.

172
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,558
But, you know, we'll do it discreetly.

173
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,835
Yeah, like you do on the Tube.

174
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,229
Well, I suppose it is the end now,
isn't it, for you two?

175
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,632
The full stop after all those commas.
A few little semi-colons on the way.

176
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,676
Well, I wouldn't be quite so smug,
Terri,

177
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,433
because I heard from very good sources

178
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,512
that the opposition
will be getting the Fucker in.

179
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:37,999
Yeah, that's what I heard, too.

180
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,433
They're definitely
getting the Fucker in.

181
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,112
- I haven't heard that. That's...
- The Fucker, he coming.

182
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,713
- No, that...
- He coming to your town.

183
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,836
You do know why they
call him the Fucker,

184
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,239
don't you, Terri?

185
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,753
- Yes.
- No, sorry, not you.

186
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,912
Is it because he's a bit of a fucker?

187
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,399
So it's not going
to be easy for Peter Mannion.

188
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,391
He's not going to be reading
<i>The Wind in the Willows,</i>

189
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,549
sipping chamomile tea.

190
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,677
He's going to have
a crash helmet on, bent over,

191
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,196
doing his best to be heard
over a force 10 fucking from the Fucker.

192
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,269
Piers, hello.

193
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,395
ANDREW NEIL ON TV: <i>Even three months</i>
<i>won't be long enough.</i>

194
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,391
(MOBILE PHONE RINGING)

195
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,835
Hello, Philip Schofield.
I fuck lobsters for money.

196
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,795
Oh?

197
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,757
- Take the rice first.
- MALCOLM: Thank you.

198
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,879
I want you to be very clear, Malc,
about why it is that I brought you in.

199
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,154
That's fine. That's fine.

200
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,629
Do you know what hat it is
that I'm wearing?

201
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,199
Is it your baldy swimming cap wig?

202
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,352
No, it is my government
troubleshooter stetson,

203
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,830
which is a long way from my
homburg of sober enquiry.

204
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,956
Do you know that I'm thinking
about doing a television programme?

205
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,315
Well, I had heard something
on the grapevine.

206
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,119
Yeah, it's good. You know that programme
<i>Civilisation</i> with Kenneth Clarke?

207
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,599
- Oh, yes.
- It's going to be like that

208
00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:46,238
except with fucking more quim, you know?

209
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,756
It's me, Simon Schama and
Alan Yentob in a cage,

210
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,434
fucking lump hammer each,
whacking the shit out of each other.

211
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,988
The last man standing wins
a fucking Ford Focus.

212
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,798
The thing is, Malcolm,

213
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,839
your departure has basically
precipitated a call-to-arms, in effect.

214
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,275
We have it on reasonably good authority

215
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,909
that there are between three to four
cabinet ministers who are disgruntled

216
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,752
and are planning a mass resignation.

217
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,593
And that means, very simply,
a Dan Miller coronation.

218
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:14,638
And as my nephew would say,

219
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,631
"This shit just got real."

220
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,518
- Your nephew?
- Yeah, he's at Charterhouse.

221
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,194
Only a day boy, not a boarder.

222
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,919
Anyway, the fact is
it has to be stopped.

223
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,278
Um... There have been
a number of ideas being tossed around.

224
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,717
And one of them is
would you be prepared to come back?

225
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,877
Are you out of your tiny,
shiny fucking mind?

226
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,632
Look, we can do this simply.

227
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,359
Step one. Are you interested?
Of course you are.

228
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,635
Step two. Will you come back?

229
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,509
Yes?

230
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,440
Superb. Step three,
and this is the important step,

231
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,354
will you use your considerable influence
to destroy the cabal?

232
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,718
Can I drop it down?

233
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,914
Fan-dabi-dozi!
Step four. It's party time.

234
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,230
Let's tool up with basmati rice and...

235
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,355
Wahey!

236
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,513
You're asking me
to come back here and mop up

237
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,795
the fucking splatter
from my own assassination?

238
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,269
You know where the bodies are buried.

239
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,032
And we'll just say
you're coming back to advise.

240
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,189
It's election strategy.

241
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,840
It's not a day-to-day
government business role.

242
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,436
I can't come back in here unless I know
I'm in the clear in your report.

243
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,479
I am not in a position to discuss that.
Not with my current hat on.

244
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:29,028
However, would I be sat here now

245
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,112
if the man in the other hat,
which is also me,

246
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:35,552
wasn't sure that everyone
involved in this enquiry

247
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,949
didn't come out relatively well?

248
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,635
And what about Steve Fleming, yeah?

249
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,517
You schizo hat fuck.

250
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,352
Let me put it this way.

251
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,158
You see this onion bhaji?

252
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,959
Let us pretend for a minute
that that onion bhaji

253
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,758
is the problems that would be caused

254
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,991
by a report that criticised you
or Steve Fleming.

255
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,229
Hmm?

256
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,749
Watch.

257
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,389
You see what I'm doing?
I'm eating the onion bhaji.

258
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,269
Why?

259
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,677
Because I am the man
that makes the bhaji go away.

260
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,159
There's a rumour that
you're getting the Fucker in.

261
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,389
Are you lot getting the Fucker in?

262
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,438
Well, look, if you are
just say the word "Fucker".

263
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,715
- Uh... I'll call you back.
- Hey.

264
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,392
Tintin's sexy sister.

265
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,711
- You're back. Are you back?
- I'm back like ballroom dancing.

266
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,351
And I need your help,
my little Fuckbob Shitpants.

267
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,829
Right. Um, well, okay.

268
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,753
I need you to hook me up to a printer.
I need a printer.

269
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,354
This is some weight.

270
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,270
I won't do any blow-job jokes
if you don't, mate.

271
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,477
Uh, yeah, copy that, mate.

272
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:43,755
Listen, just because somebody
has to kill people for a living,

273
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,671
it doesn't make them a killer.
Do you know what I mean?

274
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,398
Not hugely, Malcolm, no.

275
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,277
Anyway, what's the story, fuckanory?

276
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,669
- What's been happening? Come on.
- Nothing much, really.

277
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,876
Um, just, only a bit of turbulence.

278
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,794
There's this, um, this job
Nicola's thinking of taking.

279
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,314
- Yale, apparently.
- The key people?

280
00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:02,915
(LAUGHS) No, the university.

281
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,311
There's a think tank there
that's approached her.

282
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,954
I don't think that would be a good idea.
Do you think that would be a good idea?

283
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,678
Well, she seems pretty set on it.
Actually, she...

284
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,433
Do you think that would be a good idea?

285
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:16,118
I'll have a word with her.

286
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,838
- Yeah, have a word with her.
- Yeah.

287
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:18,989
- Fine.
- So you're not going to ask me

288
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,798
how I'm getting on?

289
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,193
Sorry, that was very rude.

290
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,033
How are you getting on, Malcolm?
How are you?

291
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,476
- You know, good days and bad days.
- Right.

292
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,675
This Steve Fleming thing's...

293
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,912
I don't, you know...

294
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:37,875
The guy's...
I fucking despise the guy, you know.

295
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,272
I despise him as much as fucking
james May presumably despises himself.

296
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:46,872
I'm glad he's getting the fucking
death sentence in Nicholson's report.

297
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,434
Ah! Death sentence for Fleming.

298
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,751
You know, that's not something
that should be out there.

299
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,558
No. No, no, no, no.

300
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,755
- I'll catch you later, thanks.
- Yes.

301
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,592
- Thanks for doing that.
- Not a problem, Malcolm.

302
00:12:57,680 --> 00:13:00,274
- My very great...
- Brilliant.

303
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,109
Malcolm's back.
Malcolm's back, he's through there.

304
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,349
- What?
- GLENN: I'll call you back.

305
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,829
- Hi.
- Hello. You all right?

306
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,911
You've got that
"cock in the cookie jar" look.

307
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,877
- He's back.
- Who? Barrymore?

308
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,393
- No.
- Clement Attlee?

309
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,595
- Oh, fuck.
- Yes.

310
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:16,669
- Malcolm.
- Yes.

311
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,432
Oh, no. God, he's going to kill me.

312
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,318
I was there when he was being sacked
and he asked me for help

313
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,868
and I held out and now he's going to
want revenge, isn't he?

314
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,995
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

315
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,389
It's gonna be like <i>Kill Bill</i>
or <i>Get Carter.</i>

316
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,277
Only it's going to be
get and kill Nicola

317
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,079
and then get Carter and Bill
to fucking kill her, too.

318
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,309
How did you hear about it?

319
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,470
Well, I just connected his computer
for him in the old liaison...

320
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:36,913
- Fuck! He's in the building?
- Yeah.

321
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,639
- Shit. Where is he?
- Well, he's in the old liaison office.

322
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,551
But look, he's in an odd way, Nicola.

323
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,312
It's like he's been to the vet
and had his knackers done.

324
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,233
Right. When I come back from cabinet
I'm going to hide in my office, okay?

325
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,276
For the rest of the day.

326
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,075
Oh, God. I'm going to be glad
to be out of this place.

327
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,277
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Are you? Oh, right.
Are you...

328
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,874
America... What are you thinking,
Yale or nayl?

329
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,758
I don't know. Off the record,
what do you think?

330
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,389
I really, really wonder
whether it's the right thing for you.

331
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,075
I mean, it's a huge,
huge country, isn't it?

332
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,673
I was going to live there,
I wasn't going to eat it.

333
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,070
I know. But you know,
imagine sitting there on your fanny,

334
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,276
watching <i>King of Queens</i>
eating a Twinkie.

335
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,715
Malcolm's told you to warn me off it,
hasn't he?

336
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,518
Well, he's... No... Well, yeah.

337
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,478
He's been here two minutes
and already he's...

338
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,677
He's pulling the strings of his
pathetic little voodoo marionette.

339
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,398
- No, well.
- Right. Fuck it.

340
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,948
I'm not going to hide. Bring it on.

341
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,668
Malcolm.

342
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,956
Hey, Nicola. How are you doing?

343
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,429
- You're back.
- Yeah, I'm just, you know,

344
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,953
tying up a few loose ends.

345
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,555
With which you're going to plait
some kind of garrotte and strangle me?

346
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,950
Forgive and forget. That's my motto.

347
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,476
I thought your motto was
"Who fucks wins" or

348
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,630
"Honi soit qui Malc y fuck".

349
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,917
I've got a lot of mottos.
Don't take that job, Nicola.

350
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,069
God, Malcolm.

351
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,358
The anti-Tom brigade are just waiting
for the first piece to fall.

352
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,350
If you resign,
it's political fucking Jenga.

353
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,389
You will cause a landslide
that will bury this government.

354
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,319
And you'll keep the party in opposition
until Daniel Radcliffe

355
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,870
is advertising walk-in baths
in the fucking <i>People's Friend.</i>

356
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,110
I've got to go to Number 10.

357
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,634
- I'll chum you over, chum.
- Oh, great.

358
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,798
The rain in Spain
stays mainly on the plain.

359
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,678
Well, actually, that is
a popular misconception

360
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,230
because what happens is the rain
falls just before the mountain ridge,

361
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,312
but they wouldn't want you to know that
because it would spoil the rhyme.

362
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,517
Julius. What's up, Boo Boo?

363
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,508
Not much. I'm just feeding some victuals
to these poor old ducks.

364
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:55,470
That red-crested pochard there
is positively hoggish with this Hovis.

365
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,795
I heard certain rumblings

366
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,758
that I don't come out terribly well
in this report of yours.

367
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,549
Off the record, matey, am I fucked?

368
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,598
Off the record,
and this is strictly between you, me

369
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,194
and that ornamental gatepost
over there...

370
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,599
Of course.

371
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,717
The report is strictly confidential
until publication.

372
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,313
(LAUGHING) Do you see
what I've done there?

373
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,675
The bald man has done a funny.

374
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,957
It's not funny.
No, it's not funny at all, Julius.

375
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,155
- I think I'm on sparkling form.
- For fuck's sake! You fucking...

376
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,912
- Stephen.
- Pontius Pilate,

377
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,911
with the emphasis on ponce.

378
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,639
GLENN: Care to do another draft,
Sir Whitewash?

379
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,996
- What has <i>The Mirror</i> got?
- "Give us the bald facts?"

380
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,199
Oh, it's very rude, that is, isn't it?

381
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,714
I was always taught never to make
personal remarks about people.

382
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,552
He's impressive, Malcolm,
in an evil way.

383
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,155
Like those women at Crufts
who make dogs dance on their hind legs.

384
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,915
And how are we all this morning,
bright and breezy or shite and wheezy?

385
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,035
TERRl: Morning, Malcolm.
GLENN: Morning.

386
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,715
- Oh, that's a nice, snuggly fleece.
- Going to the garden centre, Malcolm?

387
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,439
Oh, this is lovely and warm. 40 tog.

388
00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,555
(CHUCKLES)

389
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,358
Tell you what,
I'm going to make a cup of tea.

390
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,874
- Terri?
- No, Malcolm. No, honestly.

391
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,188
OLLY: You don't have to.
I can make the tea.

392
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,636
- Hey, Nicola! You want a cup of tea?
- TERRl: Demeaning.

393
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,950
- Okay.
- Well, what do you want?

394
00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:12,951
Lemon Zinger, please.

395
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,553
- A what?
- Lemon Zinger.

396
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,392
Whatever the lady wants.
Is there a kitty for this stuff?

397
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,913
No. I mean, honestly, Malcolm, no.

398
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,276
Is a tenner enough?
Take the money, woman, come on.

399
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,916
- Thank you very much.
- GLENN: Hey, Malcolm?

400
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,195
- Yes?
- Bad luck on Steve, eh?

401
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,034
Being long-lensed in the park like that
with Nicholson, eh, Malc?

402
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:32,553
Nice double-whammy, that, isn't it?

403
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,517
Fleming looks like he's trying
to influence the report

404
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,876
and do some bald-on-bald cottaging
at the same time.

405
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,713
I mean, all that dark arts and spinning,
that's yester-Malcolm.

406
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,995
That's not... You know,
that's not me any more.

407
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,958
I like the new me.
I mean, I feel 20 years younger.

408
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,349
TERRl: And you look it.
You look 20 years younger as well.

409
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:49,759
- Do I?
- Mmm.

410
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,434
You're looking great yourself,
you know, at the moment.

411
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,115
That colour really suits you.
It's very, very attractive.

412
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,510
Christ, is he dying or something?

413
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,113
OLLY: I don't know.
TERRl: (WHISPERING) Is he flirting?

414
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,358
- You are a naughty bastard.
- Julius.

415
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,749
Best thing I've read all year.
It's the only thing, mind you.

416
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,956
You've done some
pretty awful things to me in my time,

417
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,837
but this takes the bloody biscuit.

418
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,831
And you've pissed on that biscuit
and I've got to eat it.

419
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,878
Well, here's the news, Malcolm.
I will not eat the pissy biscuit.

420
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,110
- Sam, no pissy biscuits!
- Oh, please.

421
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,872
What are you going on about, Julius?

422
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,110
You made it look as if Steve Fleming
leant on me

423
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,838
that I would wrongly exonerate him.

424
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,592
And as a result,
I had to come down upon him

425
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,477
like a ton of bricks,

426
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,439
totally unfairly, just to protect my
unimpeachable reputation for fairness.

427
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,829
Yeah, well. It's a great report.

428
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,510
I mean, what I really like about it
is it's fucking short.

429
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,478
How long did it take you
to rewrite the Steve Fleming stuff?

430
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,675
I pulled an all-nighter.

431
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,320
Black coffee,
Vivaldi on the iPod Touch.

432
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,632
It was certainly worth it. I mean,
he comes over as a 28-carat shite.

433
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,878
Oh, Steve, mate.
Have you seen the papers?

434
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,318
Looks like you're becoming the story.

435
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,995
- Steven, can I begin by saying...
- Oh, no. I understand, Julius.

436
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,674
It's the game we play.
You did what you had to do.

437
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,036
- Yes, but all the same, Steven...
- Steve!

438
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:06,554
(CLEARS THROAT) I'm sorry.
I'll not forget this.

439
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:13,918
You off to clear your desk, Steve?

440
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,835
Don't forget your lucky gonk
and your "World's Shittest Dad" mug.

441
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,754
We were on the same side, Malcolm,
and you fucked me over.

442
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,992
Not me, Steve-o. Not me.
The independent report.

443
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,548
So, you know, I'm sorry,
but you're going to have to go.

444
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,756
Oh, I agree with you, I'm going.

445
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,308
I'm going to resign from the cabinet.

446
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,710
And then I'm going to go
and join Dan Miller's team.

447
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,075
I think we need a new leader.

448
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,678
- Steve!
- Oh, no, no, no.

449
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,513
Steve. Don't you ever
take up fucking poker,

450
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:46,999
'cause you're a crap liar.

451
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,198
I am going to join Dan Miller's team
and then we are going to take you down.

452
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,829
We are going to take you down

00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,993
- Oh.
- And starring.

605
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:15,634
As Jacob.

606
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,559
(WHISPERING) With a beard?

607
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,914
Well, one assumes with a beard.

608
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,673
Maybe she'll just let herself go
for a couple of weeks, see what happens.

609
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,552
MALCOLM: I know
what people say to you, right?

610
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,598
They say, "We hate you.

611
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,830
"I hate you. I hate you. I hate you."

612
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,673
Everybody hates you. So fucking what?

613
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,513
Some people,
they just fucking love to hate.

614
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,479
Some people, they'd fucking walk around
the fucking Garden of Eden

615
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,393
fucking moaning about the lack
of fucking mobile reception.

616
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,392
These are the kind of fucks
who watched Mandela,

617
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,391
fucking Nelson Mandela,

618
00:26:47,360 --> 00:26:48,759
walk to freedom

619
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,434
and said, "Is <i>Diagnosis Murder</i>
not on the other side?"

620
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,078
So we fucking forget about them.

621
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,720
This government has run this country
into the ground.

622
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,678
This used to be a green
and pleasant land,

623
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,638
now it's the colour
of the fucking BBC weather map.

624
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,755
It looks like anaemic dogshit.

625
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:06,955
JB,

626
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,719
Cal Richards and their hordes
of fucking robots,

627
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,316
they're coming over the hill towards us
and all you have got to do is this.

628
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,790
Bend down, pick up
any fucking weapon you can

629
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,279
and twat the fuckery out of them.

630
00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:26,716
This government is maimed,
but it can't be shamed,

631
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,073
it will be fucked.

632
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,958
Let's get out there
and let's fucking kill them.

633
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,112
Let's set fire to tiers! Let's go!

634
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,589
Come on! Let's go, yes!

635
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,557
Okay, let's get going.

636
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,633
PHIL: What do we do?

637
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,358
What do I call for an outside line?

638
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,873
EMMA: That was great, wasn't it?
PHIL: What do we do?

639
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,554
Is it nine? 'Cause that's what
it is everywhere else.

640
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,312
OLLY: Car's here. Car's here, Nicola!

641
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,834
GLENN: We're off. Bye-bye, Terri, then.
See you soon.

642
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,435
- Just want to say goodbye.
- I'm sorry. Very sticky but...

643
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,670
- Thank you. Honestly, it's...
- Oh, have I scratched you?

644
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,435
I just want to say, honestly.

645
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:03,749
I mean it.

646
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,790
NICOLA: Thank you and yeah.
Thanks for the stuff.

647
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,719
TERRl: Glenn, I don't know
about you with...

648
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,394
Don't worry about me, Terri.
I've got plenty of options.

649
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,879
I'm just going to take stock.

650
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,109
From Morrisons?

651
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,634
PHIL: Okay, yeah and he can
pick some records as well.

652
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,712
Girls Aloud, will that make him
too seedy? Okay, Girls Aloud.

653
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,679
CAL: Stop saying Abingdon to me.
I want a fucking chocolate biscuit.

654
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,990
PHIL: I've booked him on another
breakfast show, BBC Warwick,

655
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:28,672
Brian and Robo,
apparently they're very funny.

656
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,273
Yeah, for the first time in a decade,

657
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:32,430
I can feel the old dog
twitching to life.

658
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,230
"So sorry me.
This election give me an erection."

659
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,554
The old dog I was referring to was me.

660
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,271
(HOOVER WHIRRING)

661
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,472
See you, Nicola!

662
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,434
Or not.
