- David Potter: No, in the ALP 'be prepared' means we already have some dirt on Jack Fulton.
- [Melissa stares at him]
- David Potter: What?
- Melissa Partridge: 23 seconds into your political career, and you're already going Karl Rove on me.
- Cleaver Greene: This iron has heated up many a fine casserole for me over the years.
- Scarlet Meagher: How do you live like this?
- Cleaver Greene: By setting it on cottons.
- Joe Sandilands: We might have to go a bit retail on this one, mate. The electrician will trump the tax lawyer any time.
- David Potter: I thought it was going to be uncontested.
- Gav Myers: Well, what can we say? The Labor Party's a democracy.
- Joe Sandilands: Well, at least it has to be seen to be one until an actual decision needs to be made.
- Melissa Partridge: So what, Jack Fulton's a threat, not a threat?
- Joe Sandilands: Oh, look, I don't think we need to worry about him. He's just a hard working local who's worked his own way up through the ranks. Hasn't got a chance.
