(A few moments ago, Hugh said that he does not want to close down schools for kids with special needs. He is now in his office discussing the Special Needs Bill with Glenn.)
Glenn, the Special Needs Bill. With your, you know, particular interest, I can't do this.
You know my views, you know. Inclusion is an illusion. It doesn't work.
But you-you don't mind if I -- if I go ahead with it?
Of course not. You know, look...you're only following orders.
Oh, thanks. So you won't make me feel bad except by comparing me to a concentration camp guard?
No. Right. Yeah.
Now, tomorrow. Select Committee, that's Ballantine, isn't it?
(But before Hugh and Glenn can continue discussing the Special Needs Bill, Ollie barges in and interrupts.)
(to Hugh and Glenn) Sorry, I'm sorry to interrupt. Who wants to go and watch Bollockvision?
Bollockvision?
Mr. Malcolm Tucker, turning it all the way up to eleven, down in the lobby. Come and have a look.
(They all go out onto the balcony. On the other side of the atrium, on their floor, Malcolm is shouting at another Minister.)
Oh, poor Keith. Malcolm must fucking love this place: Four ministers in one building. It's his dream, a one-stop bollock-shop.
Trouble is, we're gonna be getting some of that in about an hour.
Yeah. I don't know which is worse, watching him slowly rumble towards you like prostate cancer, or him appearing suddenly out of nowhere like a severe stroke.
(Terri, whose father died after a stroke, turns towards Hugh.)
Oh. How's your sister coping?
