Malcolm Tucker:
Right, hi Geoff, don't stand.

[Holhurst sits back down]

Malcolm Tucker:
No no, I mean don't stand against Tom. Now you see how I did that? I was both being funny and also deadly serious.

Geoff Holhurst:
Now where did you hear that, Malcolm?

Malcolm Tucker:
Never mind where I heard that. The thing is Geoff, you're gonna waist everybody's time...

Geoff Holhurst:
I'm not standing, Malcolm, I'm just trying to start a debate. You know, a policy debate, future direction of the party.

Malcolm Tucker:

Geoff Holhurst:
No I haven't!

Malcolm Tucker:
Yes you have, it's out of proportions, everybody mentions that! Now, you see, you're shaking it and I can hardly see it move! Are you shaking it now? I can't tell!

Malcolm Tucker:
OK. Thank you Geoff. Let's have lunch sometime, yeah? Have a tete-a-tiny-tete.

Geoff Holhurst:
Jesus!
