Oh, I don't think there's anyone else who's up to scratch.
Have another drink.
I'll be the presidency of the Campaign for Freedom of Information.
Freedom of Information?! What on earth for?
Well, it's very popular with the Opposition
and it will mean one can ensure that the freedom is not abused.
So, here's to the continuity of sound government.
And freedom of information.
Whenever it's in the national interest. Oh, yes!
Minister, I have some very grave news. Yes, Humphrey?
The relationship, which I might tentatively aver
has been not without a degree of reciprocal utility
and even occasional gratification,
is approaching a point of irreversible bifurcation and, to be brief,
is in the propinquity of its ultimate, regrettable, termination.
I see.
I'm... on my way out. What?
One has to accept what fate has in store, when one passes on
Passes on?!
...to pastures new, perhaps greener...
In the service of one who is greater than any of us.
Humphrey, I'm so sorry! Thank you, Minister.
Does Lady Appleby know? She's suspected it for some time.
When did they tell you? This afternoon.
How long do they give you? Just a few weeks.
Weeks?!
It'll give me enough time to sort everything out.
Humphrey, you're so terribly brave!
One is a little anxious. One is always wary of the unknown
but I have faith I'll muddle through.
Minister, what's the matter?
I'm sorry, Humphrey.
It's just we've had our ups and downs, but...
Oh, Minister, don't take on so!
We'll still see one another regularly.
Yes, once a week at least. What?
I haven't told you where I'm going yet. Eh?
I have been appointed Secretary to the Cabinet.
Secretary to the Cabinet? Why, what did you think?
I... I thought... I thought...
Sorry about crying. I'm not myself today, a little tired.
Overwrought. Things have been, you know...
I am so sorry.
Perhaps as Cabinet Secretary designate
I should suggest some lightening of the load...
No, no. Don't misunderstand me. I'm fine, fine! Good, good.
So, you're going to be Cabinet Secretary. Yes.
Cabinet Secretary! Mm-hmm.
Secretary to the Cabinet! YES!
That's a great honour. Congratulations. Thank you.
'Course, that means that you and I... Alas, yes.
How shall I manage? Probably even better without me.
Yes, I probably... No, no, certainly not, no!
You're going to do for the PM what you've always done to me.
For me!
PM's right-hand man.
Advising on issues. Quite so.
And, er, and people, no doubt.
Minister?
Humphrey... Yes, Minister?
I want you to know I think you've been absolutely wonderful.
Highest admiration for all you've done
Wonderful work. Wonderful work.
Finest tradition of the service. Minister, you're too kind.
