[After Sir Humphrey prevents Lucy's nude protest by telling her that the Hayward Spinney badger colony is non-existent]

Hacker:
Humphrey, was there one word of truth in that whole story that you told Lucy?

Sir Humphrey:
Minister, do you really want me to answer that question?

Hacker:
[thinks uneasily] No, I don't think I do.

Sir Humphrey:
[smiles] Quite so. Perhaps there are some things it is better for a Minister not to know?
