The Thick Of It

Glenn, Ollie and others in “Series 3, Episode 6”

(This is the opening scene of this episode.)

Morning, Ollie. How's your head? Like a bat shat in it at all?

No, I am, if anything, Glenn, I am hung-under. First DoSAC party under the new regime, you lasted 'til, I'd say, seven?

Yeah, well, I do have a life, Ollie.

Yes, but only in the way that, you know, jellyfish or athlete's foot have a life. What was it last night, then? Candlelit annivorcery dinner for one?

(Terri enters the scene carrying a large plant.)

Morning.

Hello. (Ollie's curious...) Terri, what actually are you up to? Are you still drunk?

No, I had to get in early anyway, because this BBC man's coming.

(Ollie notices that Terri's wearing trainers!)

Are you wearing trainers? You ARE wearing trainers!

Yes.

Yes.

(laughing) If Signal toothpaste made trainers, that's what they'd look like.

Well, I don't see there's any...

(pointing at Terri's trainers) This-This color for healthy breath...

(Nicola enters the scene, and she's...a little hungover.)

Morning, morning.

Do please let me...

(Terri helps Nicola by taking her suitcase.)

Thank you very much.

Would you like me to take your coffee?

Oh, no. I'm clinging on to that for dear life, I tell you.

Well, it will dehydrate you.

Good-o.

Mojito Murray, they now call her. You know, they had to install speed bumps at the bar. She's like Gazza at Euro '96.

(Ollie mimics somebody getting drunk.)

I really love the division of labour in this place. I like the way the women do the heavy lifting and the men do the heavy sarcasm.

(to Nicola) Would you like some help with your makeup?

Um...I'm wearing makeup.
