      • Jim Hacker: Don't we ever get our own way with the French? Sir Humphrey: Well, sometimes. Jim Hacker: When was the last time? Sir Humphrey: Battle of Waterloo, 1815. Edit
      • Jim Hacker: Plenty of room for television cameras, won't there? Sir Humphrey: Yes. Jim Hacker: Outside Number Ten, along the route, outside the Abbey, inside the Abbey. One pointing directly at my pew. Sir Humphrey: Uhm...now wouldn't that mean putting the cameraman in the pulpit? Jim Hacker: Will that be all right? Sir Humphrey: Well, it won't leave a lot of room for the Arch Bishop. Jim Hacker: Well, so where will he preach from? Sir Humphrey: I think he'll need to be in the pulpit. Jim Hacker: Where will my camera be? Sir Humphrey: Well, there is always the High Altar, but I think the Arch Bishop may need that as well. Jim Hacker: Who does he think he is? Sir Humphrey: Well, he probably thinks it is a religious ceremony. Nobody has told him it is a Party Political. Edit
