Christ, you can be fucking
patronising sometimes.

Yeah, well, at least I'm not shallow
and immoral.

You want to get Kirsty back
in her hutch. She's only an intern.

Ah, thanks for the tip.

I've been thinking about you.
I've been thinking about you.

Think by-election. Think whether
you're still interested.

We're signing up the A-list.

The party wants to be seen
to be changing.

Are you standing in Longton South?
They want me to.

And you said? I've said yes.
And then there's us.

What it's going to do to us...
I wonder?

And now drugs,
why a Commons Select Committee

says we need to forget our ABCs.

We talk to Jo Porter about
Government plans

to shake-up
the classification system,

and James Northcott on why the
Conservatives think

the Government's
high on its own innovations.

For nine years now,
this New Labour government

has flopped from policy

to policy on drugs,
from zero tolerance to...

Sanctioning inner-city no-go zones.

Downgrading marijuana and clearly,
plainly, it's-it's not working.

Against the best scientific advice.
What we need is...

He's way off.
What's he doing?

When an all-party committee tells
us the way we categorise drugs

is outmoded
and potentially dangerous,

It would be immoral
for the Government

not to sit up and take notice.
Go on, Jo.

I also think James probably feels
the same way but on drugs,

as with so much else,

the opposition may think
progressive thoughts

but can't sell
them to their grassroots. Yes.

On the contrary, if Jo...

It's going to be another one of
those areas where the Tories

declare what's blindingly obvious
to everybody except other Tories.

I'm afraid that's all we've got time
for.

Jo Porter, James Northcott,
thank you both. Ouch.

A fucking disaster. No, it wasn't.
I looked like a bloody zombie.

Everyone has off-nights. She was
on-form because she was briefed.

Maybe whoever briefed Porter didn't
have selection on their mind.

James! Hey, there was nothing
wrong with that briefing document.

Don't let our relationship
confuse you. I pay your wages.

While you work for me, you give me
your full concentration.

Superb. Northcott never knew
what hit him. It's only Newsnight.

We're going to need some more
expert back-up. Get me that, erm...

charity guy, the one who gives out
free heroin to Scousers.

Christ, look at the bags on that!

No, you looked good.
Who wants to go for a drink?

You must be joking. Ian's already
climbing the walls

about me being
back late third night in a row.

Don't want to divorce.
Too much on. Kirsty? Can't...

Date.

Date.

Why aren't you at the pub?

If you played your cards right,
Kirsty might let you hold her hand.

She's on a date. A date?
Yeah.

You OK?
Yeah, not bothered.

Well said. You know those girls
aren't real lesbians.

They're not even real cheerleaders.

I was downloading
the Today programme.

There was an interview I missed
this morning in the shower.

Jesus. A singles' website.

No, actually, this is good,
this is a good first step.

I mean it's tragic
and depressing obviously. But...

You've got to start
somewhere, moving on.

I told you, I don't need to move on.

There was a momentary attraction.
Unrequited.

Yeah, but moving on
doesn't come into it.

His name's Paul Zaslavsky. He's had
a bit of a run-in with Moscow.

They've issued an arrest warrant.
Got a tip-off last night,

he called us as soon as his
plane touched the ground.

Why? Because we're the best.

No. Why did Moscow issue
an arrest warrant?

Tax fraud. This guy is kosher.

He's a mild-mannered entrepreneur.
Russian Richard Branson?

Russian Richard Branson.

That's good. But because
he happens to own oil fields

in a country where Moscow wants
to control the energy industry...

They trump up some charges.

PHONE RINGS

INTERCOM: 'Mr Zaslavsky's here.'
Thanks.

Choosing candidates is the
only fun associations ever have.

Not big A-list fans then?

It's likely to work against you.

Sorry, as will the gender
and ethnicity thing.

So what? Give up?
The trick is the chairman.

Associations don't like being
bossed about

but they fall
in line with the chairman.

Get in with the chairman,
or this case, chairwoman.

Really? Bad luck. How are you
on asexual in diminutive?

For corporate clients we put
their people face-to-face

with figures of influence.

We feel we can represent your
position in much the same way.

Of course that's only
part of our strategy.

The more important part
is going to be raising your profile.

We'd like to make sure that
by the time

any deportation issue arises
you'll be a household name.

We're talking about making you
unextraditable.

When do we start?
I'll get the contracts ready.

I don't know how much you've heard
about... allegations against me.

In Russia, I was involved
with an opposition party

with
freedom-of-speech campaigns.

It's one of the reasons
why they wanted me behind bars.

While I'm here I'd like
to learn as much as I can

about
how your democracy works.

Why don't we start with
Prime Minister's Questions?

You can rustle up some tickets
for tomorrow. Not a problem.

Thanks for this, Harry.
You saved my life.

This Russian client of mine is a
bit of a democracy geek.

I thought the Russians were
all gangsters these days.

Still, I can talk.

I'm late for a meeting with
a bunch of crooks meself.

What's that about then?

Oh, board of Lanson Motors!

These jokers, they buy the company
not two years ago,

asset-strip it like locusts

and then they want to sell it
as a going concern.

I'm supposed to lean on the DTI
to put together a rescue package.

So they can walk away from
their liabilities. Nice (!)

Try sharing a room with him.
Still, 800 jobs in my constituency.

I'm better off with my guy. I've
to play holiday rep for a while

and then I'll get bored I hope.

Probably. Watch your back though.

Book launch for Derek
Parry's Diaries.

Red Derek Parry? "Winter
of discontent" Derek Parry?

Apparently. "Labour politics in its
darkest post-war hour". Fascinating.

Mmm. I was being sarcastic.

So was I.

All right, Jo?

Birthday cards rolling in. Hi, Jo.

You kept Thursday night
free like I told you? Yep...

Can't believe you're foregoing

the traditional Westminster piss up.
Showing your age.

When's this heroin
bloke coming in?

He, er, hasn't confirmed yet.
Tell him we'll pay his train fare.

We have to do something
to mark your 40th.

I am, having dinner with friends
at a restaurant. Nice.

Glad you approve, you two are doing
the invites.

There's the list.
Oh, er... number 11 called.

Enjoyed your performance greatly.
You were amazing.

Can we
just get on with today?

Sure.

Back at two. Meeting.

James's Tuesday meeting.

Do you have anything on?
Shut up, Matt.

What time do you expect to be back?

Around two-ish?
Shut up!

I'm glad we could work past

our little crisis of communication.
Me too.

I'd send flowers to your office
but they give me hay fever.

I thought we were OK?
Ignore me,

I'm probably just stressed
about the selection.

Stressful business.

Maybe one of the nights you could
come with me to the constituency?

I can't, I wish I could.
Family commitments. It's just...

It would help a lot if
you were seen as a backer.

I thought I'd answered that
question

but seeing as you've
broken our embargo on shoptalk,

I've seen the press release for
safer streets. We can do better.

I'm asking for your help with the
selection. Yes, I noticed that.

Disappointing when a woman
asks for something after sex.

I remember when I was 17 thinking
I'd got on well with this girl

I'd met at a bar in Marseilles.

Turned out she expected me to
leave a 50 franc note on the table.

Suddenly came back to me.

You take your press
release and your job...

You stick them up your arse!

SHE SNEEZES
Echinacea. What?

Echinacea. Nip it in the bud.

Who else is going to Jo's dinner?

You can't invite six people, Danny.

It's not a party.

See if the restaurant has a function
room. Did you hear what Jo said?

Let me tell you something
about women, Danny.

You have to decode.

Jo is depressed about getting old.

When a woman feels vulnerable

she doesn't just come out
and ask for what she wants.

Look how she's acting.
Shut up.

Jo Paul's office.

Paul?

Your ticket.

I've got a call from
a contact in Moscow.

They're drawing up
extradition papers.

There's something you
might be interested in on that.

I've been giving some thought.

How much do you know
about car manufacturing?

'Hi, this is Matt.
Leave a message.'

Hi, Matt,
I'm on my way to the selection.

Call me back,
I need to talk to you. OK.

Like I said in my e-mail,

most Saturdays I'll be in the pub
with my mates.

Watching football,
that sort of thing.

Me too.

Erm...

Not watching football,
but probably... shopping.

Shoes mainly.

This isn't working, is it?
It is, yeah, it's fine.

Do you know how many of
these things I've been on?

Loads.

Every one a complete washout.

You know why?

Because as a woman, I feel
obliged to come across as this...

bland, generic entity that
will match up with this identikit

of attractiveness that men
carry around with them.

You're not coming across as generic.

I only really have
two main interests.

Politics and current affairs.

That's all the same thing.

I... I'll see you around.
No, wait, wait, wait a minute.

Ever heard of Derek Parry?
Red Derek Harry?

I'm not an employment lawyer but I
think "stick your job up your arse"

counts as a resignation.
Just apologise.

He called me a whore.
I call you a whore all the time.

'I thought you'd want to help me.
God, I'm so stupid.' Stupid whore,

just apologise, he'll take you back.
Not only will he not take me back

he'll make my life a misery

for every minute of the two weeks'
notice.

Oh, I'd better go. I'm here.

Thank you.
Thank you very much. Cheers.

Ashika? Lovely to meet you.
I'm Nigel.

Oh, hi. You're...? The competition!
Among others. So, how was your trip?

You must be knackered.
No, fine, thanks.

How about you? You come far?

Not really, just down there.

Oh right, so quite local them.
A couple of doors from Camilla.

Camilla Martin?
Our chairman.

Right.

Great (!)

As soon as Central Office said they
were sending down a high flyer,

you could almost see the
blood pressure rising.

Some bloody woman parachuted
in from London.

So if you get a bit of flak,
don't pay any attention.

Better go and say hello.

Excuse me.

Hello, all.
This is Ashika Chandrimani

all the way from London.

Hi. Hello.

Is that really sad,
going to a book launch? No way.

It's going to be
a runaway publishing success.

Hello.

How's it going?
Yeah, a lot better than expected.

Yeah? Yeah. Well, I'm glad I
didn't storm out of the pub now.

Me too.

Do you want to show me your bedroom?

Normally I'm a lot more muscular.

Achoo!
Are you allergic to handsome men?

This stupid cold.

Well, I told you to
take the echinacea.

What?

Nothing.

You never told me to take echinacea.

You must be thinking
of someone else.

How's that date going?

That was pretty painless.

Ah, Nigel, you waited for me.

So how was it for you?

Yeah, like you say. They give you
a bit of a rough ride?

Yeah, well, thought so.

They've this local candidates
business on the brain

and
it'll gets a bit Royston Vasey.

I mean don't worry,
you'll make last three.

It's a foregone conclusion.

No-one's going to declare
open war on Central Office.

Might get a bit hairy after that.
Madness, isn't it?

This day and age.

You told her the truth?
Why did you tell her the truth?

Well, I had to. Out of respect.

Well, she didn't look like someone
who for felt very respected to me.

In fact, I was picking up more
of an angry, humiliated vibe.

Let me tell you something
about women, Danny.

When a woman's in her knickers,
it's polite to have sex with her.

I can't have sex with someone when
I'm thinking about another person.

Yes, you can, how do you think ugly
people manage? I was on the spot.

You could have had sex. I know,
but I couldn't think of anything.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Oh, no, no, no, no,
this is worse than I thought.

You didn't want to have sex with
her because she was not Kirsty.

Oh, you are in so much trouble.

'Ashika, it's James, could you
come back to the office please?

'I need to see you.'

Hi.
Hi.

Sorry to call you in so late.

It's all right. It's pretty
much what I expected. I'm ready.

Ashika, this isn't work.

I need to apologise
to you and to explain.

What I said about
family commitments,

it's the truth, it's Caroline.

Oh, is she OK? Yeah, it's nothing,
she's got impacted wisdom teeth.

She has to have the surgery, I said
I'd be there when she comes round.

There are things in a marriage
that just by virtue of having

been together so long
you don't back away from.

Well then why didn't you tell me?

Because I find it stupid
and embarrassing.

Look, I hate this,
I hate fighting with you.

I hate not being able to help you.

This is all just very bad timing.

Something occurred to me in the
glare of that television light.

It put me off my game,

it stopped me remembering
your excellent briefing document.

I need you.

We need someone with experience
helping addicts - sorry, users.

We're expecting the usual knee-jerk
responses from the tabloids.

We'd like something
to counter that.

I mean, obviously we'd reimburse
the train fare... Yes, I can hold.

It's got nothing to do
with networking. Fine.

It'd be good for Jo.

Good for us.

What?

I don't know, doing something
that wasn't just about work.

I reckon we'd be good at it.

Make a good team.

Right, well, when can he make it?

OK, I'll pencil you in for tomorrow.
Can I make that a heavy pencil?

Harry.

Oh, hello, young man,
how you doing? All good.

I wanted to talk to you about the
future of the Lanson plant.

Talk to my DTI pals. Bail-out's
strictly for election years.

I might have thought of a way.
Kill a few birds with one stone.

Zaslavsky.

He wants to buy the thing
out right, assume company debts

Nice of him. Why?
Extradition papers in the post.

He reckons the government's going
to have a hard time

kicking
out the saviour of 800 jobs.

I'm not sure I like the sound

of this character setting up
shop in my constituency.

We're talking
a little bit of creative accounting

12,000 miles away.

This way, everyone wins.

I'll give the board a call.

If they don't know who you are, you
can mention my name, but that's it.

You're the brains behind this one.

I don't want anyone in any
doubt about that. All right?

OK.

Listen, this party.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe we could do something bigger.

Superb. Like you said.

Be good for Joe.

I'll tell them that
we're not allowed

to fight elections
during Ramadan. It's not Ramadan.

I'm not a Muslim. I'm trying to
explain I'm not gonna get selected.

I can't even get to the bloody
chairwoman.

Dropping out halfway through a
nomination process is suicide.

I'm fine with it. No, you're not.
You know what you're being now?

PHONE RINGS
You're being a stupid whore.

James Northcott's office.
Hi, Caroline.

He's just over at CCHQ.

Yeah, leaving straight
from there, I believe.

How are you? How are your teeth?

Good.

You're welcome.

Mine are fine too, thank you.

How much am I going to lose?

Shouldn't be more than 12 million.

Think you'll find
it's money well spent.

I enjoyed
Prime Minister's Questions.

Would my
Right Honourable Friend agree?

Glad you liked it.

I have a question
I wish someone would ask.

If your government is so keen on
free markets, how come they won't

put pressure on Putin to return oil
stocks to people who own them first?

Good question. Someone should
ask it? Well, get someone to ask it.

Yeah, well,

doesn't really work like that.
I wish it did. I want it asked.

Right, well...

I wrote it down.

Sorry, Paul...

This is obviously my fault,
because I'm not making myself clear.

Oh, no, no, no.
I'm not making myself clear.

You get this question asked.

I'm not going to be able to do that.

You don't turn me down.

You do your research
and you find out what happens

to people who turn me down.

And then you get
this question asked.

How's Caroline?

Much improved, thanks.
Obviously, still in pain

with the
stitches in her gums. Oh.

She get the flowers?
What flowers?

The flowers.

I sent her flowers.

Yeah, and a note...

saying good luck with your
impacted wisdom tooth operation.

I sent them yesterday.
They should have got there by now.

I'm going to ring the florist.

What did the card say?

Matt spoke to her, James.

Like I said, she's much
improved, but with...

She had her wisdom
teeth out when she was 19.

Why don't you tell me what it is
you're afraid of? I want to know.

Why does this threaten you so much?
You are not going to get selected.

You said so.
You'll be seen as someone

who can't
get a constituency party behind you.

We'll find out because my name's
gone forward.

This'll damage your
career. Leave it a couple of years.

This is about you keeping me low
profile

until you get where
you want to go.

Three years, tops. You really
think we've got that long?

Richard Branson
doesn't threaten people.

Richard Branson
doesn't have associates disappeared.

"Chief investigator in mining
concessions enquiry

"slain in Moscow traffic jam."

That's not mild mannered, Stephen.

Where you getting this from, Scott?

Little research tool called the
internet. You look people up on it.

Interfax is behind this.

Moscow will throw anything at
him to get that extradition.

We need this contract.

You're employed to exert
influence on our clients behalf.

He wants you to exert influence.

I don't see the problem.

Can I get a number off you?
TELEVISION IS ON

Whose number?
Pete's.

Pete...
From Newcastle.

Geordie Pete?

What do you want cocaine for?

Party. Jo's party, oh, we're
back on Kirsty now, are we?

The trouble with giving coke
to girls,

is you never really know
who they're going to sleep with.

I'm hearing very good things about
Rohypnol though.

Why you being such a tosser about
this?

Because it's not going to
work.

Do you know what I would try?

When you're looking at her...

closing your mouth, not drooling.

Fuck you, Scott.
I'm your older brother.

It's my job to look after you.

Stop you making a dick of
yourself on Class A drugs.

BLEEPS

What are you going to do?

Don't know what I'm gonna do.
Stop asking me what I'm gonna do.

I'm never gonna get away from the
guy. Thinks I'm his serf.

Trying to work out how I'm
gonna get to the end of the week

without being found on waste ground
with a bullet through my head.

If you want to help, just
try and think of someone

I could get
to ask this question in the House.

He wrote it down.

He wants it asked as it is on there.

There's the reading of the Fuel
Prices Bill

coming up and I thought maybe...?
You want me to ask this?

In the House?
Like I say...

Is this your
calling in a favour, is it?

No. What, because of your
Russians being on Lanson?

What, is it my turn to scratch
your back?

I don't play those games.
I thought you knew that. I do.

You reckon you'll give it a go, eh?

No-one can say you didn't try.
Harry, I'm in over my head here.

You don't owe me, I know you don't.

But I need help.

You expect me to

stand up and ask this?

To save your arse?

If Dad was here now...

This is your everybody wins, is it?

Look at you with your slick deals.

Killing a few birds with one stone.

This is people's jobs we're
talking about. People's lives.

I never said what your dad would
have made what you do for a living.

Didn't think it were my place.

He would have hung his head.

Great! You're absolutely sure we
couldn't do this somewhere else?

I've always wanted to see
in here, man. Corridors of power.

I've got some ideas of my own.
Make this country a better place.

I can run them by, if you like.

I'm paintballing, right.

Make that a subject at school,
cos these kids

are walking
round with all this aggression.

Right, Pete.

Every street gets a communal dog.

Kirsty. This is Peter.

Peter's a concerned constituent.

Hi. All right?

Any sign of that drugs guy?

No. He cancelled.

We need to get a press release out,

explaining my motives for
the Lanson bid, yeah?

You seem unhappy.

Don't be. It bothers me.

ON TV: Mr Speaker, in view of the
European Community's

commitment to free market
principles,

can the Right Honourable
Gentleman tell us why the buy up of

Russian fuel companies by the
Kremlin

has gone all but unchallenged by Her
Majesty's Government? He said it.

Not like I said.

But still, it's a good start.

And now we build on this.

This is a country
I can do business in.

Yeah, tell you what, Paul, I...

feel like I've done what I was
hired to do,

maybe a bit more,
so that's it for me.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
You're good at your job.

You're what I'm looking for.

No, no, no, I'm done. I quit.

You're going to be working with
me full-time. I'll talk to Stephen.

No, see Stephen can't
actually force me.

You'll do what Stephen tells you
to do and Stephen will do

what I tell him.
That's how it'll work.

You'll probably need a few days to
finish off your other work, yeah?

Hmm?

Take a week.

MOBILE RINGS

Hello, stranger.

Pete, I was wondering if
you can help me out, mate?

No, no, no, no, no.
I'm back on in a big way. Yeah.

The next train to Glasgow Central

is now standing at platform ten
and will be calling at Watford...

It was such a rush job
briefing them as well.

Kirsty, can I drag you
away for a moment?

But I thrive under that
kind of pressure.

Kirsty.

Excuse me.

What?

Look down. What? Down. Look down.

Is that cocaine?

You wanted to push the boat out?

Do you have any idea of the nature
of the business

you've contributed
to? Sorry.

Obviously, you didn't make it

to the talk by the
Colombian women's group.

This stuff destroys communities.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

So, what did you think?

I thought you did remarkably well
with questions from the floor.

Almost like you knew
what was coming.

Yeah, well,
the advantages of local knowledge.

Oh, come on, the executive were
never going to let you have it.

I fought two general elections
here as an agent.

I know this constituency
better than anyone.

Not well enough to actually
take the seat though.

Obviously, you're upset.

You don't think it's fair.

Which is exactly
how I feel about the A-list.

Or positive discrimination.

Na zdravie.

Cheers.

Peanut?

Sorry.

I think I might have spilt
a few in your briefcase.

I might be a bit pissed.

Just nipping to the loo.

Yeah, he was in one of the cubicles,
praying.

In Arabic.

He's at the back of the bar now.

He's got a bag,
it's like a briefcase.

Yeah. Something in his hands,
like a fat pen.

Surprise!

You didn't?

We did.

No, you didn't. You didn't.
Yeah. What?

SHE WHISPERS:
You idiot.

Where's Ian?

Where is Ian?

Delayed?

Let me say a few words
about local knowledge.

I'm for knowing which one
of our supporters

hasn't
been to the ballot station

by five o'clock on election day.

I'll go there. I'll drag them
to the station in their curlers.

We need that.

But we don't need the kind of local
knowledge that says,

"Ferry Estate -
no Tory voters there."

When the other guy
has an 8,000 majority,

you need to start talking to some
people that DON'T vote Conservative.

The majority of people anywhere
care about education,

public
services and getting a fair deal.

We can tell them
those are our priorities too.

But as long as we look
the same and sound the same,

they're not going to believe us.

I want to bring the message
of a new Conservative Party

to every voter in every part
of this constituency.

I'm up to that challenge.

I hope you are too.

Thank you.

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday, dear Jo

# Happy birthday to you. #

I'm having the weirdest night.
I'm having a weird one myself.

I mean weird good.

Do you mean weird good?

No.

Wow, this is nice.

There's so many of you...
Managed to get hold of some cocaine.

I thought coke was passe.

I'm predicting a comeback.

..this lovely surprise.

It's very special to
have so many friends here.

So, please, have a wonderful night.

Here, I'm not in the mood.

Is Kirsty?

My intention is to get
well and truly pissed.

Ian, Ian, Ian!

Excuse me.

Nice speech. I'd vote for you.

So what do you think?

Did I do it?

How long have we got?

Half an hour to the vote...

Give it a shot, shall we?

Good to see you, James.
How's Fergus? How are the boys?

How are you getting on with Ashika?
Marvellous, isn't she?

Must hear all about her.

Happy birthday, Jo.
Thanks, Scott.

Busting for the toilet.

What are you drinking?
Have you seen Ian?

Ah, yeah.

I think he left.

No.

Maybe if we call him?
I bloody told you, didn't I?

A few friends, I said.
Sorry.

Ian hates this sort of thing.

Whose idea was this?

We both thought that...

Drop the debt at the time.
Hi, Jo, are you having a good night?

Sorry we went a bit overboard
with the head count.

Thanks for the effort.

It's funny, though.
I can't help thinking

that I'm at the launch party for
Kirsty McKenzie's political career.

Jo, listen, I hope you
haven't got the wrong idea.

I've been banging on a bit.
I get like that when I've had a few.

Mmm, ginger ale!

Don't get cute with me.

40, remember?

I wasn't born yesterday.

What's it going to be like
for you when you're 40, Kirsty?

20 years of your nose up
people's arses to look back on.

You look like you could
do with a pick-me-up.

You know the way people
get addicted to eBay?

Well, he was like that,
only with the British constitution.

Said he wanted to see
the House of Commons.

I thought,
"OK, that's genuine curiosity."

Didn't know he wanted
to buy the bloody thing.

She wants to be in the Cabinet,
no-one's having a go at her.

Who's she?

She's got her nose
up someone's arse.

I don't get what all
the fuss is about cocaine.

It's not having any effect.

Ashika, they want you.

Hey, I was looking for you.

Got you a ginger ale.
Cheers.

Can I get a vodka in this?
Please.

Listen, what you said the other day,
I think you're right.

That we'd make a good team.

Yeah.

Not just as colleagues,
more than colleagues, you know?

Listen, this is probably going
to sound really cheesy but, um...

Are you sure that was
proper cocaine?

Cos it's still
not having any effect.

You know the way people
get addicted to eBay?

he was like that only
with the British constitution.

You already said that.

I don't get why you're so
surprised anyway.

Undermining
democracy's like your job.

It's like your job title,
Democracy Underminer.

IN AMERICAN ACCENT: Scott Foster,
Democracy Underminer.

Not much for a party, is it?

I know, I hate it when
it's just people talking.

Do you want to get out of here?

What?

Did you see the old dear
demanding her ballot paper back,

insisting she made a mistake.

Joanna's put the fear of God in
them. Did like that speech though.

You'll have to train Matt to do one
like that for me. Champagne moment?

No? What?

What?

You knew her.

You could have done it any time?
Oh, come on,

you're all the better for
it, forged in flame and all that.

I hadn't heard you speech, had I?

You'd never have given it if your
back hadn't been against the wall.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're right.
I was trying to hold you back.

I didn't want to lose you, hence
my behaving like a total dick.

I've been thinking, though, perhaps
we don't have to be side by side

to be together, perhaps we can
approach from a different angle?

Hm? James, you may have to
start adjusting

to not always
getting precisely what you want.

All right, Jo.

Sorry, I was just
looking for Kirsty.

Jo?

Jo, no.

Don't do that.

How many gin and tonics
did you have?

You know gin induces depression.

And other things induce depression.

You'd expect him to come
in the room.

I'm gonna talk to him and I'll
explain to him that it was my idea.

Just come in the room, you know?

It's my birthday party,
for God's sake.

Even if it is a rave,

a bleeding orgy.

Come in and say, "Hello".

I'll tell you the problem.

What he saw in there, what he...

Didn't like the look of.

That's that my life.

I would say that's the problem.

I thought you were
depressed about being 40?

That's because you're an idiot.

Yeah, we kind of
established that earlier.

We should get you home. I should
probably say goodbye to people.

Oh, no, no, I'll see about
getting a cab.

MOBILE RINGS

Where's good?

What's a good club?
Should I get that?

No. Probably some Russian hit man
looking set up a meeting.

We're out of ginger ale.

Fuck off!

Have you got a Time Out?

HORN HONKS

Hello, this is Ashika Chandrimani,

I've recently had some cause for
celebration and your name came up

as someone I imagined might be
available

for a drink at short
notice.

But I imagined wrong.

You're not.

You're tucked up in your bed.

Which is nice.

For you.

So, another time.

I don't really like clubs.
Do you like clubs?

Not really, they're shit.

Sweaty teenagers.

Loud music.

What'll we do instead?

This is a really good idea.

It's much better
than going to a club.

RADIO: 'The fate
of the Lanson car plant

'hangs in the balance with news
that Paul Zaslavsky,

'tipped as a potential bidder for
the company, has fled the country

'having apparently been detained
last night

;on charges
of possessing illegal drugs.'

KNOCKING
Scott!

Scott. Don't come in, mate.

The Russian's done a runner.

What? The Russian, he's fled the
country, you're in the clear, mate.

That's good. I can't really talk
right now, mate. I'm hungover.

Lightweight. Right, I'm off.

I'll see you later.

Yeah, see you.

Good thing you're not gonna be
found on a patch of waste ground

with a bullet through your head.
