(In the car back to DoSAC HQ from Thought Camp, Phil hands Peter a rainbow tie.)
What's that? I'm supposed to be commenting on a suicide, not a fucking camel race!
I thought it would balance out the bad news. You know, yin-yang. Jon Snow does it.
Stewart (on his phone): I want Tickle's movements over the last 24 hours, and I want his complete mental health records since he first sat on a potty.
Do you think you might need one or two computers for that, Stewart?
(on her phone) Yeah, okay, well, we're going to try and dredge up some firefighting strategy. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. I'll top-load you as soon as we arrive. Yeah, thanks, okay. All right, bye.
(Peter is struggling to put his suit jacket on with his seatbelt on.)
Can I, can I take the seatbelt off?
(to Peter) No, Peter. (Emma then sees Stewart tapping his head nervously.) Stewart, what are you doing?
It-It helps with the car sickness.
This is great, isn't it, Stewart? A conference on crisis management that's been scuppered by an actual fucking crisis.
We don't even know why he killed himself yet. I mean, suicide, it's pathetic! At least take some of your enemies with you, that's a noble death.
This is going completely nuts, so many questions being asked!
Yes, starting with "Why did Phil bring a tie from the '90s?"
Yeah, don't panic, I brought an alternative. (shows Peter a black tie)
But that's too far the other way!
It makes him look guilty.
How can he be guilty? He's got the perfect alibi, he was at boot camp.
Oh!
Brilliant, let's release that, hey? 'There's no actual blood on his hands and he remembered to wipe the fingerprints off the knife!'
Phil (showing Peter his tie): Look, you can wear my tie, what about mine?
What's on your tie?
Tintin moon rockets.
Oh, for fuck's sake!
(to Phil) God, it amazes me you ever found your way out of your mother's womb!
