..Yeah. Mm. Anyway,

I've missed my ideal resigning-point. Yes.

With every day I delay, it's another year before I can get back again.

Mmm. If I'd resigned the day I was appointed,

I'd actually be Prime Minister by now.

The line is we don't throw a good man to the wolves over one little fuck-up.

So Hugh's staying? Yeah.

Tell the wolves to fuck off. Not exactly.

They need a blood sacrifice. Indeed. They want a head on a plate.

We've gotta give 'em a head, you're saying?

You're clever, aren't you? Very, very clever.

How much does your head weigh? 8lb?

Maybe more.

Mmm. It's not MY head - I've only got half a head! I'm a half-head.

One of you has got to decide. Which of you are gonna do the decent thing?

We've been through this! Apparently, I'm Ronald fucking McDonald(!)

Hang on! Why are YOU not included? Why one of us two?

Well, if I'VE got to resign, then you've got to resign. "If I'VE..."

I've got to listen to you on matters of policy. So HE'S gotta go, then,

cos I answer to him. We've ALL got to go now, eh(?) I'm going nowhere.

I didn't DO anything. Nothing. Oh, Terri!

Grow up! Don't give me that pile of fucking bollocks!

Just because you're a civil servant, don't think your shit doesn't smell!

I know things about you. ..What? What d'you know?

Yeah, we know things. Oh, knob off! You know bugger-all! All you know

is how to suck up to the new kid on the block. "Ooh, what a lovely backhand! Ooh, my stroke's so HARD."

You're so fucking repressed... I was just playing squash!

Glenn, what d'you know? What is it? What is it you think y...? I KNOW.

What is it? I'm gonna see Tucker and resign.

YOU don't need to resign. I know.

Well DON'T, Hugh! No, I've been thinking. It'll be VERY good.

The report isn't out for three days. I can leave before it with dignity.

I'll be seen as an honourable man, be back in government in two years

with a clean slate and a fresh tie.

And I'll be shot of this fucking department. Takes four days to get a memo through! "Social Affairs."

What the fuck does it actually MEAN?
