(Malcolm and Nicola are talking about a newspaper story calling for Nicola to be "sacked.")
You've seen the sack race thing, I suppose. Yeah, there it is.
(Malcolm, of course, thinks the story is funny.)
It's not funny! It's not even accurate, because technically I was fourth. So, really, they should have said, "Fourth in the Sack race." I think we should complain to the PCC.
Look, stop worrying: the PM is not going to sack you after a week. Sacked after twelve months, looks like you've fucked up; sacked after a week, looks like he's fucked up.
I'm not doing terribly, am I?
(beat)
(looking out of the car window) I love the way that they've sandblasted everything around here. It's so clean!
