(Nicola and Glenn are in her room trying to write her speech...)
"So, joking aside..." Of course, we haven't fucking got those yet.
I know.
Whatever they are, right...

"It's now my great pleasure -- " (to Ollie) We're just doing the...
No no no, listen. Um -- listen!

You know when something, well, something bad, but you know when something bad happens and you think it's not as bad as...

Where's Julie?
Malcolm's commandeered Julie for the PM's speech. We bumped into each other and he...

(to Nicola) Do you want your Rescue Remedy?
No, fuck off! (Nicola takes a few deep breaths...) Get me some ketamine. I want to separate my mind from my body.
Jesus Christ, poor Nicola. I'm going to go and talk to the bastard.
Yes.
Take some reasonable...
(to Glenn, sarcastically) Yeah, that's right, rip your shirt off! Go on, Braveheart! FREEDOM!
