Prime Minister
- Prime Minister: [to English] When I finally get a chance to do something good for my country, the universe sends me you. Well, I say UP THE UNIVERSE'S *ARSE*!
- Prime Minister: [after English shows her the birthday party video on driving student's phone] Can I just ask, what is wrong with you? The press is wetting itself, and the only person capable of saving us is the man you're accusing of high treason.
- Johnny English: I was in the room myself when he gave the order, Prime Minister!
- [stammers]
- Johnny English: But, but, there was a... there was a... You know...
- Prime Minister: Do you know what I was in the room with, English? Your file, which I've read in its entirety, and I have a few questions. Did you or did you not burn the Côte de Roc restaurant in Antibes to the ground?
- Johnny English: [nervously] Um...
- Prime Minister: And did you or did you not fire a guided missile at a peloton of French cyclists?
- Johnny English: [stammers] W-Well...
- Prime Minister: Before commandeering an open-top bus and tossing the tour guide off the top deck, and then assaulting an 82-year-old grandmother in a sandwich shop before battering the employee of said sandwich shop with two organic sourdough baguettes?
- Johnny English: Uh, I don't remember...
- Prime Minister: Do you have any idea how hard it is to be me?
- [English shakes his head "no"]
- Prime Minister: Hmm? Do you have even the foggiest notion of how virtually impossible it is to get anything done in the face of events and facts and voters and that tsunami of toss-pots we call the national press? Finally I get the chance to do something good for my country, and what happens? The universe sends me you. Well, do you know what I say? I say "up the universe's arse!"
- [English and Bough look stunned]
- Prime Minister: And do you know what else I say? You're fired. With immediate effect. Now get out! And make sure I never clap eyes on that imbecile ever again!
