Nobody gives a shit if you got shafted by Malcolm.
I will never, ever forgive him for what he did to me.
Jesus, this isn't EastEnders! This is politics! We're all in the same plague pit, Cliff, there's no clean hands!
(Jamie's cell phone rings)
All right –
(answering the phone) Yeah?
Jamie! What's that sort of droning noise in the background, then?
Look, okay, here's a more positive approach, right, I'll try this. (reads from his speech)
It's a kind of boring, kind of low sort of droning, boring, kind of miserable whining, boring kind of, sort of boring noise going on?
Yeah, well, you've got it wrong, yeah?
Cliff fucking Lawton. Hey, nice. Was the Cillit Bang guy not available?
Fuck you. (hangs up)
... To put it simply, I'm back!
Oh fuck off, Cliff.
Sorry?
Fuck off! You're a busted flush! You're not gonna be Prime Minister, you're not gonna be anything, so fuck off.
This is your thing, isn't it? Everything has to be an absolute, everything has to be black and white! You know: 'I love you, fuck off!' There are lots of shades of grey, you know!
Oh, I know that, I'm looking at fifteen of them right now. See you later, no-mark.
