[This is the opening scene of the episode.]
[to Hugh] You're late. And you look like shit.
I know both of those things already. Margaret Thatcher used to survive on less than four hours' sleep a night. How is that possible?
Monkey glands. She was mad. Mad people have different needs.
And she lived above the shop, so she didn't have to commute. God, London is so big. Can't we devolve some of it? If I could get just one decent night's shut-eye...
Well, Hugh, do yourself a favor. Stay over in the flat.
I can't break my promise to Kate.
I mean, do you actually get to see the children?
Glenn, I don't have time for that. All I do... I work, I eat, I shower. That's it. Occasionally... I take a dump, just as a sort of treat. I mean, that really is my treat. That's what it's come to. I sit there and I think, "No, I'm not going to read the New Statesman. This time is just for me. This is quality time just for me." Is that normal?
It's sad.
Well at least I've made something.
