Quotes 

• Toby Wright : Liza Weld. She did the Kennedy Scholarship at my college. I had a little thing for her at the time.

  Judy : I can imagine, yeah.

  Toby Wright : Don't think she remembered me, to be honest.

  Judy : That is one of the side-effects of Rohypnol.

• Simon Foster : Judy and I thought I could row back on Question Time, tonight

  Malcolm Tucker : You're not going on Question Time tonight, you've been disinvited

  Simon Foster : We've been prepping Question Time!

  Judy : Why wasn't I told about this?

  Malcolm Tucker : Why the fuck would I tell you about it? I've just told you to fuck off twice yet you're still here?

  Judy : You should tell me about it as it's a scheduled media appearance by a member of this department and therefore it falls well within my purview!

  Malcolm Tucker : Within your 'purview'? Where do you think you are, some fucking regency costume drama? This is a government department, not some fucking Jane fucking Austen novel! Allow me to pop a jaunty little bonnet on your purview and ram it up your shitter with a lubricated horse cock!

  Judy : Your swearing does not impress me. My husband works for Tower Hamlets and believe me those kids make you sound like... Angela Lansbury!

  Malcolm Tucker : [to Simon]  She's married? Poor bastard.

• Judy : I'll just leave you to your thoughts, OK?

  Simon Foster : I haven't got any thoughts. I'm just staring vacantly into space while a distant voice in the back of my head goes, "Oh, shit!" like a car alarm in the middle of the night.

• Malcolm Tucker : Right. Was it you?

  Simon Foster : No, it wasn't. No. What?

  Malcolm Tucker : You do know what I'm talking about, don't you?

  Simon Foster : No. And... And... whatever it was, I almost certainly didn't do it.

  Malcolm Tucker : Was it you, the baby from Eraserhead?

  Toby Wright : No, no.

  Malcolm Tucker : Then it must have been you, the woman from The Crying Game.

  Judy : It wasn't me.

• Malcolm Tucker : You, hey, put the snifter out there that if the BBC ambushes a minister with another surprise question about the war, I'll drop a bomb on them.

  Judy : I can't do that, can I? That's political.

  Malcolm Tucker : Does that not fit within your purview, Marie Antoinette? Why don't you just scuttle off back to fucking Cranford and play around with your tea and your cakes and your fucking horse cocks. Let them eat cock!

  [to Toby] 

  Malcolm Tucker : Hey, you! Ron Weasley, you do it.

• Judy : You know they're all kids in Washington? It's like Bugsy Malone, but with real guns.

• Simon Foster : Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Why didn't we nail the line?

  Judy : Simon, I did try to warn you...

  Simon Foster : Yes, you tried to warn me, but you didn't actually stop me, did you...

  Judy : Well I can't tackle you to the ground...

  Simon Foster : ...by shouting 'train' at somebody as they get hit by a train. You should go 'train! there's a fucking train!'

• Suzy : So, this Liza, you shagged her, yeah?

  Toby Wright : What? No.

  Suzy : [to Judy]  Were you aware that he was ball deep in some Washington wonk?

  Toby Wright : Suzy!

  Suzy : What?

  Judy : I don't know anything about his balls.

  Toby Wright : Can we just not discuss my balls and accusations in...

  Suzy : Just tell me why. Huh?

  Toby Wright : I don't know, Suzy. It was very weird over there, very intense.

  Suzy : Right.

  Toby Wright : Maybe, I dunno, on some level, subconsciously, it was, like, a... it was just... it was a last ditch attempt to stop this awful war, you know.

  Michael Rodgers , Judy : [begin to snigger] 

  Toby Wright : Just on a... just, I mean... you know, I don't mean, obviously, to try and... to try and actually stop it...

  Michael Rodgers : [laughing]  That's classic!

  Suzy : Toby, did you just say that you had sex to stop the war?

  Toby Wright : No, no, no.

  Suzy : An anti-war shag? Is that what you thought, Toby? 'Cause that's... wow.
