Sir Humphrey:
In addition to your existing responsibilities, you will be Cabinet Minister responsible for the Arts.

Hacker:
[smiling] Eh? I say, that's rather good, isn't it? Hold on -- how do you know about this before I do?

Sir Humphrey:
Oh, I just happened to be with the Cabinet Secretary shortly after the decision was taken.

Hacker:
[pleased] Cabinet Minister with the responsibility for the Arts, eh? Well well well!

Sir Humphrey:
Yes indeed!

Hacker:
Thank you for letting me know, Humphrey! Anything more? I'm just about to start a meeting.

Sir Humphrey:
Oh, the meeting, yes. Now Minister, I do hope that you've considered the implications of your new appointment on the subject you're discussing.

Hacker:
What, rescuing a football club?

Sir Humphrey:
No, no, no; I was wondering how it would look if, as Cabinet Minister responsible for the Arts, your first action would be to knock down an art gallery.
