00:01:23 Would Sir like a glass of water?
00:02:14 - Go on. - Bankerish.
00:03:11 but I was hoping it would be a last resort.
00:04:21 Obviously!
00:05:27 That's what the Vicar would say!
00:06:40 - I knew you'd laugh. - Well, it isn't you, is it?
00:07:50 - That's nice. - It won't work.
00:08:42 She stayed the night with friends.
00:09:53 Alistair?
00:11:00 You formed a government yet?
00:12:00 You haven't got rich by publishing books like mine.
00:13:02 No.
00:13:57 JEAN: No, it's nice to have someone to have lunch with.
00:15:41 Yes. But he'd had time to rehearse it.
00:17:43 Oh.
00:18:43 He's a pro.
00:19:48 - Sure, but to be super-honest... - I'll come super-fast to the point.
00:21:18 OK.
00:22:29 How did you know that wasn't a dog?
00:23:41 Apparently Alistair's father owed my father a favour, and I'm it.
00:24:58 If ever you wanted to say "What shall I do?", I mean.
00:26:05 They moved the goal-posts.
00:27:28 As time goes by.
