(While Nicola is conducting an interview with a BBC reporter regarding Nicola's launch of her Fourth Sector Initiative, Glenn and Ollie are discussing the Prime Minister's world tour.)
So why is the PM doing this world tour thing? What's the point of that? I mean, he's not easy on the world stage, is he? He walks like his dick's made of glass, you know? Is it a Malc plan?
Could be? Or, you know, Steve Fleming's back, it could be him.
Well, if he's back, it really is the end, isn't it? What are you gonna do when the shit goes down, then?
Oh, plenty of options, Ollie.
You could be a Beefeater. Do you want to be a Beefeater?
Don't you worry about me, Ollie. I've got contacts.
What do you mean, "Don't worry about me"? Are you big in Japan or something?
(Glenn gives Ollie a wide, sly smile.)
What? What's that smile for? Do you need winding?
(And then, Glenn shares a BIG surprise with Ollie.)
I'm going to stand in the election.
(surprised indeed) Are you...Are you serious?
I should hear later today whether or not I've got enough support for the Ilford East long list.
Fucking hell. You on a massive poster. What's your slogan going to be? "He's old and sullen, vote for Cullen." How about that?
Actually...I'm pretty excited about this.
Sort of hard to take on board. It's like being told your dad's gay or something. (Glenn laughs while Ollie continues) I am strangely really proud of you.
