Quotes 

• David Budd : You said it out in Helmand.

  Roger Penhaligon : You say a lot of stuff when you've seen your best mates blown to pieces.

  David Budd : That if you ever found yourself right beside one of those bastards that sent us out there, you'd just close your eyes and pull the trigger. You'd still have a face. I'd still have a family.

• Roger Penhaligon : Interesting TV interview. You must be very proud.

  Julia : I'd really like to get into the Chamber if that's all right with you, Roger.

  Roger Penhaligon : Planning on hijacking the counterterror debate for a bit more shameless self-promotion?

  Julia : Is there a point to this conversation?

  Roger Penhaligon : Why aren't you returning my calls?

  David Budd : Pardon me, ma'am, for security reasons, I'd prefer if you moved indoors.

  Roger Penhaligon : You work for us, Plod, so wind your neck in. I'm the fucking Chief Whip, and when I call, you answer. We claim the center ground, but you're headed off-piste.

  Julia : The PM can count on my full support.

  Roger Penhaligon : Bullshit. He's weakened. You're making a move for the leadership.

  David Budd : Sir, ma'am, I really do need you both to move inside.

  Roger Penhaligon : Can't you call your monkey off? Throw him some nuts.

  David Budd : I'm mixed-race.
