Simon Foster:
So, this is all going to spin along from here. We're going to have a vote and go to war. We'll fight people, kill them. Our children will get killed. This is exactly the sort of thing that I didn't want to do when I went into politics. This is the opposite of what I wanted to be doing.
Malcolm Tucker:
That's why you have to stay in Government, to influence things. In here, you can influence things, you can delay things. Out there, you're just another fucking mouthy, fucking shouty mad fucker who people don't want to make eye contact with. Remember Mary? Remember what happened? She took a stand on health. Everybody decided that she was mental.
Simon Foster:
Because The Sun showed a picture of her with wide eyes and her head on a cow.
Malcolm Tucker:
Well I happened to find that a particularly powerful image. Look, the Prime Minister of this country, he's not a fucking Viking, is he? He doesn't drink blood. He doesn't go around biting tramps.
Simon Foster:
I know the Prime Minister isn't a Viking, Malcolm.
Malcolm Tucker:
Unlike me, he abhors physical violence.
Simon Foster:
Where is the intelligence, the hard evidence?
Malcolm Tucker:
We have got the fucking intelligence.
Simon Foster:
I haven't seen it.
Malcolm Tucker:
The intelligence we've got is so deep, so fucking hard, it'll fucking puncture your kidneys.
Simon Foster:
Where's it coming from?
Malcolm Tucker:
There is an informant. Ice Man.
Simon Foster:
Ice Man?
Malcolm Tucker:
I don't name them. Ice Man. Yeah. And the fact is, the stuff that he's given us is... I've seen it. It would make your blood run cold and clot and turn your insides into fucking black puddings. But certain box lickers are sitting on it, but you're going to see it, because the PM regards you as a key player in this now.
