The Thick of It2005

Malcolm Tucker:
[night, everyone's in Tucker's office, except for Abbot, who's in the car on his way home] I've never seen headlines like it!

Oliver Reeder:
In what way?

Malcolm Tucker:
It's all gone to shite!

Glenn Cullen:
Oh, the papers didn't like the policy?

Malcolm Tucker:
They hate it, they f***ing loath it! Are you getting all this, Hugh?

Hugh Abbott:
[on the phone] Yes, you're very clear.

Terri Coverley:
Do they all hate it? The Times?

Malcolm Tucker:
Especially The Times.

Hugh Abbott:
Wait a minute, the first edition hasn't even gone to bed yet, how do you know?

Malcolm Tucker:
Because I'm connected, I'm plugged into the Matrix. I AM the f***ing Matrix.

Hugh Abbott:
Sorry?

Malcolm Tucker:
Have you not watched that tape yet?

Hugh Abbott:
I'm taking it home now, gonna watch it there. We just bought a new video player of the back of Alicia's obsession with Pingu.

Malcolm Tucker:
Ok, I want you all to pay attention - this Arts policy is dead. Ok? As of now. Get a press release out and bung it in the owen. F*** off, the lot of you.
