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

We're going to have to do a number of things... Like? ..almost immediately.

and, um, at that press conference

because many of the journalists didn't pick up on the announcement.

Good. I have cancelled that press interview

I told you about Waitrose, when I was head of press,

and you are the innocent victim of a nasty media stitch-up.

OK, right. Right, I'm fixing you up with a main man media piece with your ex Angela Heaney but...

Art is all about expression isn't it?

What? We're too late. What?! All the papers have got hold of it. What?! The Express has been making offers -

"He was hounded out by the fucking Press!" How about THAT, huh?

a directive from some think-tank thinks press secretaries

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

I need to give the impression that I'm not budging, I'm staying exactly where I am,

I, I'm not a journalist, I'm just one of Ollie's mates.
