• Jim Hacker: You are the Cabinet Secretary. You must insist that we get papers circulated earlier.
  Sir Humphrey: Alas, there are grave problems about circulating papers before they are written. [edit]
• Jim Hacker: Now look, I realise that you have to have loyalty to your colleagues, but you also have a broader loyalty to Cabinet and its policies.
  Sir Humphrey: I agree.
  Jim Hacker: You agree?
  Sir Humphrey: Yes.
  Jim Hacker: You agree ... with me?
  Sir Humphrey: I agree with you.
  Jim Hacker: Who do you agree with?
  Sir Humphrey: With you.
  Jim Hacker: Not with Sir Frank?
  Sir Humphrey: No.
  Jim Hacker: You're not arguing with me?
  Sir Humphrey: No... Perhaps I haven't made myself quite clear. I agree with you. [edit]
• Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, as Cabinet Secretary I am, of course, most eager to reduce public spending, but a Head of the Civil Service, I am responsible for the very real dangers which will arise administratively if a pay rise does not come through very soon. It's so difficult for me, you see, as I am wearing two hats.
  Jim Hacker: Yes, isn't that rather awkward for you?
  Sir Humphrey: Not if one is in two minds.
  Bernard Woolley: Or has two faces.
  Jim Hacker: Perhaps I should relieve you of one of them?
  Sir Humphrey: Oh no, no, no. I am perfectly happy with both of them.
  Jim Hacker: Faces?
  Sir Humphrey: Hats!
