Quotes

Mattie Storin : Is Mrs Urquhart in the country this evening?
Francis Urquhart : Not this evening, Mattie. Mrs Urquhart is in town.
Mattie Storin : And at home?
Francis Urquhart : And at home, Mattie.
Mattie Storin : I wish she were in the country. And you do too, don't you? Don't you?
Francis Urquhart : You might well think that, Mattie. I couldn't possibly comment.
-
John Krajewski : Yes! He is going, it's official. Not running away from the allegations? Bollocks. He must have done it. Silly bugger.
Mattie Storin : I don't think that necessarily means he's guilty.
John Krajewski : What else?
Mattie Storin : He could've been framed.
John Krajewski : Framed? Framed? Oh, grow up, Mattie. The truth is that everyone is sillier than you could possibly imagine they'd be.
-
Mattie Storin : I don't know what to call you. There's nothing I can call you.
Francis Urquhart : You can call me Francis.
Mattie Storin : That's just it, I can't. I don't think of you as Francis. It's so stupid.
Francis Urquhart : You can hardly call me Chief Whip.
Mattie Storin : I want to call you Daddy.

Mattie Storin : What about the accommodation address at Paddington? What was that for?
Charles Collingridge : You tell me. I don't go to Paddington. Isn't that where the Welsh people go to catch trains?
-
Mattie Storin : Is Mrs Urquhart in London at the moment?
Francis Urquhart : She's in the country.
Mattie Storin : Oh.
Francis Urquhart : I would be anxious about letting you go back to your flat alone tonight.
Mattie Storin : Yes.
Francis Urquhart : I hope you wouldn't think it improper if I invited you to spend the night here.
Mattie Storin : I don't bloody well care if it's improper or not.
-
Mattie Storin : Anyway, thanks for coming 'round, John. You're an angel.
John Krajewski : An angel. Did you know angels are reputed to have no sexual organs?
Mattie Storin : Is that right?
John Krajewski : Mmm, totally smooth down there. Must solve a hell of a lot of problems.
Mattie Storin : Yes.
-
Mattie Storin : I wouldn't bother him with this. And he wouldn't be able to come; he isn't free to come.
John Krajewski : Too grand, is he, or what?
Mattie Storin : Don't be like that, John. It wouldn't work with you. Sex, I mean. You're... easy to be with. You... you're not dangerous. You're my best friend, John. I couldn't have it off with my best friend. It would be embarrassing. Sorry. Honest. Okay?
