The Thick of It (TV Series)

The Rise of the Nutters (2007)

Vincent Franklin: Stewart Pearson

Quotes 

• Stewart Pearson : [Stewart's making a reluctant Peter try on a new suit, without a tie]  Just wondering whether you're fully conversive with the new line, whether you're really up to speed.

  Peter Mannion : I don't know, am I? Because I get people stopping me on the streets and saying 'are you still for locking up yobbos?' and I say 'yeah, offcourse we are!', and then I think 'are we?', because maybe I missed a memo from you, maybe I should understand yobbos now, not even call them 'yobbos', call them 'young men with issues around stabbing'!

  [pause] 

  Peter Mannion : No tie, you say.

  Stewart Pearson : No tie.

  Peter Mannion : Nice suit, actually.

  Stewart Pearson : So, what we're thinking... shirt outside the trowsers

  Peter Mannion : Outside? Not tuck my shirt in?

  Stewart Pearson : Yeah.

  Peter Mannion : I always tuck my shirt in, it's part of getting dressed. What, should I not do my flies up either? Let the old chap flop out, is that modern enough for you?

  Stewart Pearson : Just try it, Peter. Not the cock out, just the shirt thing.
