Quotes 

• Peter Mannion : I hate school children, they're volatile and stupid, and they haven't even got the vote. Might as well be talking to fucking geese.

• Peter Mannion : I'm bored of this. I'm going for a Twix.

• Peter Mannion : [to his chauffeur, when driving away from journalists]  Run those fuckers over! Fifty quid for every one you maim!

• Terri Coverley : I do really need a comment on this Tickell protest.

  Peter Mannion : As we enter the third week I find Mr. Tickell's attention seeking tent based twattery even more annoying than weeks one and two.

  Terri Coverley : Can't actually say that.

  Peter Mannion : Really? Oh then by implication you know what you can say, so say that instead.

• Peter Mannion : Sorry darling, I have to go - I think the bailiffs are coming to take away my will to live.

• Peter Mannion : She's not on the fucking list!

  [Peter enters Fergus' office] 

  Peter Mannion : Will you please tell me why Terri Coverley is not on this list?

  Fergus Williams : Sorry Peter, she's too expensive to get rid of.

  Peter Mannion : Christ, Fergus, we both know she's a fart in a frock and I want to waft her out of here!

  Fergus Williams : My hands are tied.

  Peter Mannion : Fuck you. You're not getting in my car tonight!
