[Malcolm is still working late at night in his office, eating a piece of fruit, when his cell phone rings.]
[answering the call] Tucker.
Malcolm, uh...hope I didn't wake you up.
[spitting] Hewitt.
Yeah, I'm doing a piece this Sunday, a big piece on focus groups. It's sort of inspired by your latest policy disaster. I'm gonna be concentrating on how your man Abbot can't do a single thing without focus groups.
[clearly unmoved] I'm shaking with fear.
Yeah, well, that's sexual jealousy.
You're so very very witty. Pity none of it ever makes it into your columns.

Fuck off back to your match reports, you twat!
