List of voters for the quote

[Urquhart and Stamper are having a meeting with Sir Bruce Bullerby, the editor of a tabloid newspaper critical of Urquhart's government.] Bullerby: Ah, I see you've been reading the paper. No hard feelings, I hope. These things need airing. Urquhart: Well, of course they do. Quite right. Do sit down. Would I be right in thinking you're on some sort of morality crusade, Bruce? Bullerby: In a sense, yes. Opening a debate about morality in public and private life — why not? Urquhart: Is everyone's private life a legitimate subject for scrutiny? Bullerby: Well, if it's all right for the Royals, why not for the rest of us? Urquhart: Who could argue with that? How are you getting along with the Princess? Bullerby: Very well, surprisingly enough. Urquhart: Yes, we thought so too. Stamper has some photographs he would like to show you. The technical quality's rather poor in some of them. [Stamper hands Bullerby an envelope, which contains photographs of Bullerby in a sexual tryst with Princess Charlotte.] Urquhart: Other way up, I think, Bruce. That's it. There's a video, too. I was very doubtful of the morality of infringing your privacy, Bruce, but after what you've just said... [Bullerby sits and stews as he looks at the photos.] Bullerby: How much for the prints and the negatives? Urquhart: Bruce, please. A little loyalty from our friends is all we ask. Just a-a helping hand in these rather trying times. [Bullerby feigns joviality.] Bullerby: Oh we-e-e-ell, of course! We weren't actually going to put the boot in! No, not in a serious way! These are tough times for all of us. Urquhart: We gather the Princess' memoirs have been quite revealing. Bullerby: Bloody dynamite — and not just about her, not just about the 'younger generation', if you follow me. Staggering stuff. They're all bloody at it! Always have been! Urquhart: Print them. [Bullerby is flustered.] Bullerby: I-I-I can't do that. I made a solemn promise, not-not a word while the Princess is still alive. Francis, it would destroy her — and not just her. She doesn't deserve that. [Urquhart holds up the photos.] Urquhart: No, perhaps you're right. We'll just have to make do with these, now won't we? [Bullerby is defeated.] Bullerby: All right, you bugger. Ding-dong, ding-dong... And as for you, Stamper— Stamper: What? [Bullerby leaves Urquhart's office.]
