(At Number 10, Malcolm sees Ed walking down the hall, all stressed out.)
Hey, what's wrong with you? You look like you've shat a Lego garage or something.
Jim Lane's daughter is standing as an independent in Leamington Spa.
(Malcolm and Ed start walking...)
(silently, to himself) For fuck's sake...fuck. (to Ed) This is gonna split our vote.
Do you think we're in trouble? Maybe we should have chosen her over Liam Bentley.
No. She thinks just because her dead fat-arse dad was the MP that gives her the right to be our candidate? No no no. This isn't Czarist Russia. It's not the fucking Dimblebys.
What do we do?
We send everyone up there, to support Liam Bentley, including the Prime Minister.
You want to send Tom up there?
Yeah, fuck it, he'll be all right as long as he doesn't do the smile. You hit the phones, right? I'll be with you in two shakes of a crying baby.
