“A Conflict of Interest” · Season 1, Episode 11
In this episode: John Clarke (8), Bryan Dawe (4)
I beg your pardon. What do you mean "no signal"? No signal. I’m at the centre of the universe. I’m at the epicentre of the known cosmos. No signal.
Ninety-seven per cent coverage, those new phones.
Really? The other three per cent presumably consists of the central business district and a couple of outlying districts in which human beings live.
John, don’t fight what you can’t change.
That’s the ANZAC spirit, isn’t it Bryan?
[Gina runs past towards the bathroom]
What’s wrong with her?
Big night with the Albanians.
Really? She went out with an Albanian delegation. What does that mean?
She set fire to one of their wigs.
What happened in Melbourne? What legacy did they have?
As a result of the Olympics?
Yes.
Slums, by and large. They built a whole lot of accommodation out at West Heidelberg. It’s still there, I think. You still hear it mentioned from time to time. "Police later found the vehicle abandoned at West Heidelberg." "Police are anxious to speak to the population of West Heidelberg."
Can you get Ian Barrundi to come?
Ian Barrundi? Yes.
Get him to come.

Who’s as thick as pig shit.
He’s very good in a meeting, Bryan. He’s excellent in a meeting.
He knows nothing about corporate law and doesn’t know what the Minister’s deal is.
The Americans don’t know that.
It’ll take me an hour and a half to brief him.
He doesn’t need to say anything. Go and ring him. He doesn’t need to say anything. I just want him to be there. Tell him to dress for church and be in attendance.
So who is the Chief Executive?
At the moment?
What do you mean at the moment? How many have you had?
I’m speaking from memory... about four, so far.
What happened to the other ones?
Some of them are spending a little bit more time with their families.
[John reads the latest Joseph Williams article in the Sunday paper]]
"Businessman’s secret charitable donations. Joseph Williams tells of his little known secret million-dollar deal to benefit philanthropic causes." "Secret"... "tells of" "secret"... "tells of" "secret"... "tells of" "secret"... "tells" "secret". I give up – spot the deliberate mistake. Does the man think we’re absolute idiots?
