You said 'she.'
Yes.
Come out of the cupboard, Hugh.
No.
[Malcolm enters the cupboard.]
Hugh, we have to sort this out. When I asked you about the focus group –
Yeah.
– you said 'she' loved it.
We gave her a one-on-one.
Why?
She's Middle England.
So Middle England is a big fucking field, with one woman standing in it?
Do you think Hewitt will find out?
OF COURSE HE FUCKING WILL, SHE'S HIS MOLE! THAT'S WHY HE'S GOT A PIECE IN THE PAPER TOMORROW!
[Malcolm leaves the cupboard, with Hugh right behind him.]
[to Glenn, Ollie, Terri and Hugh] We've got to shut this down now, right? I want this leaked to Angela Heaney. It's damage control, OK? We put out the story the way we want it, before Hewitt fucks us up the bugle! Get onto it, now!
