Episode #1.2 (2005)

Morwenna Banks: Mary

Quotes 

• Malcolm Tucker : [shouting at Mary, the focus-group actress]  You just want to think about what is gonna happen tomorrow!

  Hugh Abbott : Because tomorrow, you are gonna find the press all over you.

  Mary : In a good way?

  Hugh Abbott : No, not in a good way!

  Malcolm Tucker : You know that film Notting Hill, have you seen that?

  Glenn Cullen : She's probably fucking in it!

  Malcolm Tucker : You know the bit when the guy opens the door and there's like millions of journalists and hacks and photographers and all flash bulbs going off? In four hours time that's gonna be you, they're gonna be all over you like fucking cockroaches!

  Hugh Abbott : [trying to calm a disstressed Mary]  It's ok.

  Malcolm Tucker : No, no, no, it's not ok, it's not going to be ok, and I tell you why. Because you're fair game, so I hope your knickers are clean because every seat-sniffing little shitbag that's ever filed a by-line is gonna be questioning you! Because now it's in the fucking public interest, isn't it? And they are gonna hit you with any shit they can find and you're gonna be spread out infront of them like a trollop in the stocks!
