The Final Cut1995
Francis Urquhart:
[speaking in his office on the telephone to Richard Tennent in the presence of Geoffrey Pitt] Mr. Tennent, Francis Urquhart. Sorry to spring this on you, but I wanted a confidential word. You know already perhaps that you've been put up for an honor for your public and political services? No? Well now, look here, I think you deserve something a little better - a knighthood, in fact. Yes. Well, special people don't always realize quite how special they are. There's a waiting list, of course, about 18 months, and all this must remain utterly confidential 'til then. You do understand that? Good, but I shall be inviting you and Lady Tennent to Downing Street to dinner very soon. Yes. Now, one last thing. I'm sorry to have to ask you this, but as this will be carrying my personal recommendation, the scrutiny committee isn't likely to come across anything embarrassing in any way? Sadly, we've had one or two cases where honors have had to be withdrawn. Sign of the times, I'm afraid. Excellent. Good bye then, and my best regards to Lady Tennent. We'll be seeing you both very soon. Yes, bye bye.
Geoffrey Booza Pitt:
Francis, what can I say?
Francis Urquhart:
I still want that letter, Geoffrey. I decide who comes and goes from my cabinet and when. Not the tabloids, and certainly not some dreary little constituency chairman. All right, Geoffrey, off you go.
