Major: [To Redwood] It's all your fault.
Redwood: No it isn't!
Major: Yes it is!
Flight: Give over you two!
Swayne: Who's paying for the fare?
*Arbuthnot looks off sad out of a slowly steaming up window*
At least they'd be happier than two Progressive Conservatives in a cab.
Paddy Ashdown: I'd like to welcome you all to the New Liberal front. We've got a great team, lots of new faces. Let's get out there and prepare for a Liberal Democrat government!
Simon Hughes: Uh, a Liberal what?
Paddy Ashdown: You know, a Liberal government!
Norman Baker: What do you mean?
Paddy Ashdown: You know, a Liberal government. H.H. Asquith, Lloyd George, Liberal leaders in Number.... Number....
Malcolm Bruce: Number 10, Paddy.
Paddy Ashdown: Number 10!
Malcolm Bruce: I know, I'd serve next door as Chancellor.
Paddy Ashdown: Yes, and Malcolm here would serve in Number 9.
Alan Beith: It's was so long ago, I don't think anyone here has the slightest idea of what you're talking about, Paddy.

Paddy Ashdown: We get elected, and form a government.
Shadow Cabinet: Ah yes.

Paddy Ashdown: No!
Vince Cable: We just have their policies.
Paddy Ashdown: Well you're getting closer. I'll be a Liberal Democrat Prime Minister, and you'll all be in the cabinet.
Shadow Cabinet: Oh yes, right, good.
Norman Baker: Uh, what's a cabinet?
Paddy Ashdown: Oh dear....
