Peep Show2003

Alan Johnson:
[to the board of executives] OK, Mark is now going to take you through details of Project Zeus.

Mark Corrigan:
[voiceover] Here I go. Palms dry, mouth dry, inter-buttock area moist. [to the board] So, integrating Sales and Marketing - Project Zeus. The bad news is... it doesn't work. But... look, big picture, so what? Maybe we shouldn't be in the credit business at all, maybe we should look at human rights or global warming. I mean, these are just ideas, but... where's the humanity? I suppose that's what I want to ask you today, if anything. Where is the humanity? [He puts his hand on Johnson's shoulder] Old friend.

[Johnson is very disappointed. The executives start talking amongst themselves]

Mark Corrigan:
[voiceover] Sh*t, I'm crashing and burning.

[He looks out the window at Sophie giving him the thumbs up]

Mark Corrigan:
[voiceover] That stupid bloody hippy sold me down the river! Plan B. What is Plan B? [to the executives] Right, OK, you can stop the murmuring. Please... stop mumurming. Unless you think it's nice to murmur at someone who's... dying!

[Silence]

Mark Corrigan:
[voiceover] Did I just say that? I did just say that. [to the executives] Yup, that's right, I've got brain cancer. Half my brain's been eaten away already, probably, but I think I did a pretty decent job for a man with a brain tumour the size of a pineapple, who's gonna be dead with a month. [voiceover] Er... Plan C? Is there a Plan C?

[Mark pretends to feel a sudden pain in his head and sinks into a chair]

Mark Corrigan:
Ahh, my brain! My poor diseased brain!

Alan Johnson:
[Standing up] Yeah, I'd just like to assure everyone that Mr Corrigan will indeed be dead in a month.
