A Perfect State1997

Malcolm:
I've had enough. I've absolutely had enough. See, it was the boys who took your car after all; I was right all along. But I can't run this town properly if I'm going to have you lily-livered, wishy-washy liberals interfering all the time. So, I'm tendering my resignation.

Winston:
Accepted.

Malcolm:
Now, I know you want me to stay.

Laura:
No, we don't.

Malcolm:
But my mind is made - What?

Julie:
Your resignation has been accepted.

Malcolm:
Why? What's wrong with me?

Laura:
We've already replaced you.

P.C. Bill:
Hello, Malcolm.

Malcolm:
But he's a policeman.

Laura:
Yes, we thought that was a reasonable qualification for the job of policeman.

Malcolm:
Oh, I see.

Julie:
You were very good, Malcolm, but maybe teaching is your true vocation.

Malcolm:
Hmm, yes. Well, maybe you're right. Probably does need some sort of jack-booted fascist git to run things properly. Welcome back, Bill. Evening, all.
