In the Loop Page #4

JUDY and TOBY come in.

JUDY:

Minister, this is Toby.

MALCOLM:

We haven't got time love, f*** off.

JUDY smiles at MALCOLM, and doesn't f*** off.

SIMON:

Hey Toby. Glad you could join us. Bit

of an odd morning, but 'Welcome to the

madhouse!'I apologise for Malcolm.

MALCOLM:

Don't apologise for me. You should

apologise for you.

(to Judy)

Did I just tell you to f*** off and

yet you're still here?

JUDY:

That’s correct.

MALCOLM:

(to Toby)

If I tell you to f*** off what do you

do?

TOBY:

F*** off?

MALCOLM:

You're learning fast. Okay, weird

little foetus boy, go away. F*** off.

TOBY:

Is this a real f*** off?

MALCOLM:

Yes. F*** off.

Toby fucks off. We can see him outside, wandering

around, not knowing what to do with himself.

SIMON:

We were thinking, weren’t we Judy,

that I could row back on Question Time

tonight.

MALCOLM:

No, You’re not going on Question Time

tonight. You’ve been disinvited.

Why?

SIMON:

MALCOLM:

Because they ask f***ing questions on

Question Time. And you’re no good at

questions. If it was Fumbling, Off-

Message Sh*t F***ing Answer Time,

you’d be our main guy. But it’s not.

JUDY:

Sorry, why wasn’t I told about this?

MALCOLM:

Why should I tell you about this?

JUDY:

Because it’s a scheduled media

appearance by this department’s

Secretary Of State and it therefore

falls within my purview...

MALCOLM:

Your purview? Where do you think you

are sweetheart, in some Regency

costume drama? Well allow me to pop a

jaunty little bonnet on your purview

and ram it up the shitter with a

lubricated horse cock.

JUDY:

Malcolm, your swearing doesn't impress

me. My husband teaches in Tower

Hamlets and believe me, those kids

make you sound like Angel Lansbury.

MALCOLM:

(to Simon, lads' chat)

She's married? The poor bastard.

SIMON:

But...okay, putting Judy's lubricated

horse cock aside for a moment

(Judy walks out)

Are you saying that I’m now not

allowed to make any media appearances?

MALCOLM:

No, not until we can trust you to keep

to the line.

SIMON:

But I was going to keep to the line:

“I don't actually think war is

unforeseeable.”

Malcolm's looking out of the office, monitoring Judy's

movements. She's flashed up on his radar. He's tracking

her.
