[Moments later, Malcolm is in Hugh's office, arguing with Glenn and Ollie over the scandal involving Hugh and his flat.]
[to Glenn] You haven't been accepting any offers?
NO!
Jesus...
Well, that wasn't the point! The whole deal was we put the flat on the market so if the press are asking us, we say, "Fuck off, he's selling it!" They'll go away and then, you know, Hugh's got a place in town!
[to Ollie] What the fuck is your girlfriend doing hitting us with this, huh?
Well, she's not my girlfriend, Malcolm. So I've no idea.
Oh, well you won't mind if I kill her then, will you?
It'd solve a lot of issues for me, to be honest with you.
Hey! Hey hey hey, if you could sweet-talk that sour-faced bitch into dropping us you'd be sweet to me, you'd be very very sweet –
If I could sweet-talk that sour-faced bitch into anything I would have had a more comfortable four months –
Yeah well, I'll just have to kill the both of you then, won't I?
Yeah, well.
That's a joke, by the way, not a very nice one, a nasty one which masks a lot of very negative feelings about this fucking department.
[Malcolm's cell phone rings...]
[looking at his phone] Oh, Jesus. Tom Davies. [answering] Tom! Hello, how are you? Yes. No no, he was already there when I got there, he was talking to her. [Malcolm leaves Hugh's office.]
