The Thick Of It

Terri, Glenn and others in “Series 4, Episode 5”

(Glenn sneaks into Terri's office to leak the email from her computer while nobody else is looking. But as he's getting ready to do the deed, Glenn's caught by -- who else? -- Terri.)

Glenn! (beat) What are you doing at my computer?

I-I'm just doing Bradford & Bingley a favor. I'm bringing down Mannion by leaking an email.

A leak? C-Coming from my computer? No. No, get off, get off. (pointing to the computer) Take that...that, the whatever it is out of the...whatever it is. Take it. Out.

No one will think it's you. Nobody leaks from their own computer. Look, you do this for me and I'll make sure that you get the full severance package, no questions asked, with full pension.

(tempted) And a lump sum?

Yeah, I guess, yeah.

(whispering) The thing is, Glenn, I've got -- I've got my eye on a tea shop near Ludlow. Without a lump sum, no tea shop, no can do.

Okay, right. This can go straight to Geoffrey at The Guardian.

Okay, yeah.

Right.

Can we do it together?

What?

Please? Just your hand on mine and my hand on yours, just do it together. Like, erm...

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Yes, okay.

Not that I'm saying you're butch.

No, of course not.

(And with that, Glenn and Terri lock hands on the computer mouse...)

GTGlenn & Terri

One, two, three...

(They click the mouse.)

Just send the email.
