Quotes
-
Frankie : Shagging your way to the top, then, is it?
Oliver Reeder : Well, I'm not Scottish, so I got to get there somehow.
-
Oliver Reeder : So. I've been given a desk at Nr.10 to ring my girlfriend?
Frankie : That's about the size of it. Shagging your way to the top, then, is it?
Oliver Reeder : Yes, well, I'm not Scottish, so I've got to get in somehow, haven't I?
-
Malcolm Tucker : [trying to get the news people to edit the footage of Hugh being confronted by an angry member of the public into something less embarrassing] And do you know about that woman? Have you made any enquiries into the background of that woman?
Mark Davies : I'm sure my researchers have, yes.
Malcolm Tucker : Yes, your researchers have. Well, I've got to tell you I don't think they have.
[his phone rings]
Malcolm Tucker : Just excuse me a second.
Oliver Reeder : [phoning from the office at Number 10] Malcolm.
Malcolm Tucker : Have you anything on the woman?
Oliver Reeder : Well, I've got Frankie up there now, just rooting through the bins. Hang on a second.
[speaks into another phone]
Oliver Reeder : Have you got anything?
Frankie : [outside the woman's house, literally going through her dustbins] Nothing. Er... bloody chips, Daily Mail, bin stuff.
Oliver Reeder : Nothing, Malcolm. Just bin stuff.
[Malcolm thinks for a moment, then goes back into the editing room]
Malcolm Tucker : BNP, Mark. She's standing for the British National Party. Stamford Bridge.
Mark Davies : [thumps his desk in disappointment] For fuck's sake!
Malcolm Tucker : Very straightforward. Basic stuff, Mark. Do your research. Standing for the British National Party.
Mark Davies : All right, what do you want, Malcolm?
Malcolm Tucker : Two little bits of tit. Two titties.
