This is great. So we can do it this afternoon at the school, can't we?

We can clear the press conference and... Excuse me.

Yeah, we'll double-bubble it. Yeah? We'll leak it to the Standard, then trail it on The World At One, yes?

We need someone at the Standard...

What about Angela Heaney? She's at the Standard now, isn't she? Yeah.

Yeah, Olly?

Um, yes, she is. Do you not think that maybe she's a bit junior?

A bit too much like your ex, who broke your heart then dumped you with a text message?

It was a fucking e-mail! It wasn't a text message. She'll write what we want. She's easy.

She's easy. Yeah, she is easy.

I can see that you've all got big, stiff hard-ons for this... Sorry?

That is nice. I'm not saying that's not nice but... Terri?

..there is no way we'll clear it by this afternoon so... Why not?

Cool it. I'll ring Paul at the Treasury. No! No, no!

No phone calls to the Treasury!

If you call the Treasury, he's going to have to dress up as catering with a big tray of drinks

and a pot of sliced lemons... I'm not doing that. They'll just take it.

I'm just going by procedure.

Terri, I love doing things the right way, that ethical stuff, I love it, we all do,

but it's very difficult when you're the first person to put the gun down,

because people tend to jump on your head as if it's a ripe watermelon. We don't want that, do we? OK.

The Prime Minister is above the Treasury in the hierarchy.

I can write it down on a chart. Whatever. Thank you.

Very good, Minister, I'll get to it. Yeah. You're just doing your job. Yeah. (Not very well.)

Will you get Angela on the phone for Olly? ..You can deal with this, Olly, yes? Um...

Thanks. The driver. ..Technically. Yeah. Will it be my driver? Yes. I don't fucking like him. Why not?

He's... I don't know. I think he despises me.

We'll have to use him today, because you know how the pool system works. So we go down to the school, um...

He's sort of contemptuous.

The driver? I feel like he looks down on me.

No. Hugh he likes you, I'm sure.
