The Dead ask The Best Questions

The Dead ask The Best Questions


Harry Perkins, Prime Minister :
-- one over there, probably 
has a telephoto lens.
....looking for evidence of 
a homosexual relationship


I don't know if this is the right moment 
but I wanted to talk to you about that --

Harry Perkins, Prime Minister :
...Darling, I never knew you cared


What I mean is, if Wapping or 
Fleet Street come looking for 
more dirt - ...is there any more?

Harry Perkins, Prime Minister :
Well, I can't speak for my colleagues but
my track record is pretty simple; 
Married at 20, Divorced at 31, 
no kids, no bitterness -- wife cited 
The Labor Movement as
correspondent -- and 
she were right.

Then, once upon a time, 
a brief encounter with a woman called
Helen
met her at a conference on economics
beat that for a romantic setting
and she married someone else
but she sent me a flower


....to Downing Street, 
after The Election,
remember --

Harry Perkins, Prime Minister :
So do I....

Now, I sublimate my sexual urges into
Changing Society and I've signed
 a letter from Dr Freud in Vienna 
to prove it --


Last time I was talking to 
Annette Newsome, she said 
"We'll get it right this time, 
won't we Harry."

...You ought to be moving 
it's Question Time 
in 40 minutes --

Harry Perkins, Prime Minister :
.....it's always bloody 
Question Time --
The Dead, They ask
 The Best Questions; and 
We are answerable --
