Quotes4

  • Oliver Reeder: Who wants to go and watch bollockvision?
  • Hugh Abbott: Bollockvision?
  • Oliver Reeder: Mr. Malcolm Tucker, turning it all the way up to eleven down in the lobby. Come and have a look.
  • [cut to them all watching Tucker shouting at another minister on an adjacent floor from a balcony]
  • Hugh Abbott: Poor Keith. Malcolm must fucking love this place, four ministers in one building. It's his dream, a one-stop bollock shop.
  • Glenn Cullen: Trouble is we're going to be getting some of that in about an hour.
  • Hugh Abbott: Yeah. I don't know which is worse, watching him slowly rumble towards you like a prostate cancer or him appearing suddenly out of nowhere like a severe stroke.
  • [Terri, whose father just died, looks at him]
  • Hugh Abbott: Oh. How's your sister coping?
  • Malcolm Tucker: So, did you enjoy the show?
  • Glenn Cullen: You were magnificent, darling!
  • Hugh Abbott: Yeah, should I phone Keith so I can get his team to watch you bollock me now?
  • Malcolm Tucker: No no no. Have I got my bollocking face on?
  • Hugh Abbott: Well, I...
  • Malcolm Tucker: [making a seriously scary face] No, this is my bollocking face.
  • Hugh Abbott: Oh, crickey, yes. Thanks for the pot plant, by the way.
  • Malcolm Tucker: Did I send that?
  • Hugh Abbott: As an office warming present.
  • Malcolm Tucker: Christ, she's a great PA isn't she, Sam? She always remembers the little people. Look at the size of that fucker, you can fucking crucify somebody on that!
  • Hugh Abbott: So, citizenshit. What we need to do to knock together some nice, touchy-feely, fondle-y, sneaky, hand-in-the-bra sort of policies.
  • Glenn Cullen: New bicycles for special constables, that sort of thing?
  • Hugh Abbott: Yeah. Yeah.
  • Oliver Reeder: Making special needs kids clean up graffiti.
  • Hugh Abbott: Yeah, that's just very mean.
  • Oliver Reeder: Well, yes. Not, of course, as mean as making them spell graffiti. That genuinely is very mean.
  • Glenn Cullen: [gets up and leaves] I'll go and have a word with Malcolm.
  • Oliver Reeder: OK.
  • Hugh Abbott: You just took a shit with your clothes on, Olly.
  • Oliver Reeder: Why?
  • Hugh Abbott: Glenn's boy, Peter, he went to a special needs school.
  • Oliver Reeder: Oh.
  • Hugh Abbott: Yep.
  • Oliver Reeder: Glenn's had sex.
  • Hugh Abbott: God, you are such a prick, Olly. There's more to life, you know, than drinks parties at the Foreign Office and having Nick Robinson's mobile number on your fucking Blackberry.
  • Oliver Reeder: All right, all right, fine. Sorry, Hugh. I feel for the guy, I had a girlfriend with special needs once, so I know.
  • [with a smile]
  • Oliver Reeder: Luckily I was able to fulfil them.
  • Hugh Abbott: Oh, God, you're such a...
  • Glenn Cullen: [on the plans to shut down special schools] Inclusion is an illusion.
