Brian Harcourt-Smith:
[after Preston finds out about the polonium disc and presents his report]
I regard this report as alarmist, irresponsible and lacking sufficient evidence.
John Preston:
[surprised and irritated]
Evidence? Can't you read?
[Forcefully]
John Preston:
That metal disc can only be used as part of trigger for an atom bomb...
Brian Harcourt-Smith:
That remains to be seen. Don't think I don't know what's goin' on Preston. You're trying to worm your way back into favours by dreaming up some far fetched story of which you naturally are the hero...
John Preston:
And you're trying to kick out anyone who doesn't make themselves available to get your arse. But if you were to look at this thing straight, just for a moment, you'd find that there is something goin' on out there...
Brian Harcourt-Smith:
It is my prerogative as the head of this country's security service...
[interrupted by a visibly disgusted John Preston]
John Preston:
*Acting head* sunshine. And if you ask me you're acting like a complete asshole.
Brian Harcourt-Smith:
[after a brief pause a fuming but restrained Harcourt-Smith takes the report and writes as he speaks aloud]
NO FURTHER ACTION. And you are suspended for insubordination, indefinately.
[a frustrated Preston has a resigned look on his face]
