[Mo Mowlam is chairing a meeting between Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams of the Sinn Fein / IRA and Senator George Mitchell who will be chairing the Peace Talks. Both sides are trying to score points off each other. Mo defuses the situation by taking off her wig]

Mo Mowlam:
Sometimes aren't there just times when all you want is a bloody good scratch.

Martin McGuinness:
I suppose so.

Mo Mowlam:
I tell you what, boys. Let's start this meeting again. Only this time, no c*cks on the table.

[after the meeting]

Mo Mowlam:
How did I do, George?

Senator George Mitchell:
I have to say you have the most unorthodox negotiating technique I've ever seen in my life. My answer is: "brilliantly". I think we're in business.
