The Thick Of It

Steve and Malcolm in “Series 3, Episode 7”

Malcolm!

Oh, there he is, Bob Carolgees; how's the wee comedy dog?

Welcome back. Good holiday? I hear your kitchen's lovely at this time of year.

Yeah, well actually, I went to Spain.

Oh, nice.

Yeah yeah, I went to Malaga, it was lovely. I was golfing with Stephen Hawking, he's fucking shit. He lied about his handicap. Mind you, I never had to hire a golf buggy, I just sat in his lap.

Please. Why do we have to be like this? All this negative energy. Come on!

What?

Well, we've got to work together. So, you know...

So what? I mean, that doesn't mean we have to like each other, does it?

No, I mean...

(Someone's trying to get past Malcolm and Steve.)

(to the passer-by) Sorry. (He politely lets him pass through.)

We both know we don't like each other, everyone knows that, we are the Gallagher brothers of politics.

How does that work? Does that mean that I'm the semi-talented songwriter and you're the fucking loutish prick? That's a lovely analogy.

You were the one who forced me out of the sodding band. (chuckles) Come on, let's have a chat.
