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]

I regard this report as alarmist
00:00:03.012 --> 00:00:06.024
irresponsible and supported by insufficient evidence
00:00:06.024 --> 00:00:08.032
Evidence Can't you read
00:00:08.032 --> 00:00:10.056
That metal disc can only be used
00:00:10.056 --> 00:00:12.008
as part of a trigger for an atom bomb
00:00:12.008 --> 00:00:14.004
That remains to be seen
00:00:15.044 --> 00:00:17.006
Don't think I don't know what's going on Preston
00:00:17.006 --> 00:00:19.064
You're trying to worm your way back into favour
00:00:19.064 --> 00:00:21.076
by dreaming up some far fetched drama
00:00:21.076 --> 00:00:24.036
of which you yourself naturally are the hero
00:00:24.036 --> 00:00:26.002
And you're kicking out anybody
00:00:26.002 --> 00:00:28.072
who doesn't make themselves available to kiss your arse
00:00:28.072 --> 00:00:30.072
But if you were to look at this thing straight
00:00:30.072 --> 00:00:32.052
just for a moment you might see
00:00:32.052 --> 00:00:34.068
that there is something going on out there
00:00:34.068 --> 00:00:37.092
It is my prerogative as head of this country's security service
00:00:37.092 --> 00:00:39.048
Acting head sunshine
00:00:39.048 --> 00:00:42.092
And if you ask me you're acting like a complete arsehole
00:00:50.032 --> 00:00:56.998
No further action
00:01:00.004 --> 00:01:04.016
And you are suspended for insubordination
00:01:04.016 --> 00:01:05.999
