The Thick of It2005

Malcolm Tucker:
It IS possible to have a good resignation, you know!

Hugh Abbott:
"A good resignation"? Oh, I'm looking forward to how you're gonna sell THIS to me!

Malcolm Tucker:
Look, people really like it when you go just a bit early! You know, steely jawed, faraway look in your eyes! Before they get to the point when they sitting round in pubs and say "Oh, that f***er's got to go!", you surprise them! "Blimey, he's gone! I didn't expect that! Resigned! You don't see THAT much anymore! Old school! Respect! I rather liked the guy! He was hounded out by the f***ing press!" How about that, ah? What a way to go! Yeah!
