Bordan Tkachuk in “Unfinished Business”

Lee McQueen: No, unfortunately for me my exam results etc were never good enough to do a degree. When I was a trainee catering manager, they put me through to do a professional qualification in catering. I was there for two years, I was actually doing my HCIMA for that period of time.

Bordan Tkachuk: Are you sure it was two years?

Lee McQueen: As far as I am aware, it was two years, yes.

Bordan Tkachuk: Really? The university has actually dropped me a line here confirming that you were only there for four months.

Lee McQueen: Really? Oh, Okay well then, it was four months then.

Bordan Tkachuk: Was it two years or four months? Do you want to see or do you know?

Lee McQueen: No, no, if that's what you are saying.

Bordan Tkachuk: No, I am asking you. I have asked you twice, it's your CV. It says Thames University 1996 to 1998.

Lee McQueen: Then I have, um, put something incorrect on my CV.

Bordan Tkachuk: Was it just one thing?

Lee McQueen: Well, I have made a mistake already haven't I, so it's difficult for me to be completely confident.

Bordan Tkachuk: What worries me is that you have got someone here who is prepared to bullshit their way through.

Lee McQueen: I am not prepared to bullshit my way through.

Bordan Tkachuk: Well you did on that.

Lee McQueen: I am not prepared to bullshit my way through.

Bordan Tkachuk: But you did on that and that worries me a little bit about you because I am looking at this and saying what else is there about you?

Lee McQueen: My integrity is out the window. All I would say to you is that I am not proud my educational background, Bordan, and I have put something down there to make my educational background seem a little bit better than what it is and that's a blip on my integrity and I can't erase that. All I can say is that I am disappointed in myself for doing that.
