Nick says to Simon:
Why do you always have to be to the left of me?
Clegg: “OK, OK! If you untie my arms I promise I won’t join the Conservative Party!”
Hughes to Clegg ‘ if you think I am difficult just you wait until Farron gets elected President’
CLEGG: “Did you sleep in that suit last night Simon?”
HUGHES “I, I, I . . . I went for a curry. . . with with with…er….with Charles Kennedy last night. . . and then we moved on . . . to to to. . .er. . to a club . . . and and and ….then to a…a….a…….er………Have you got any paracetamol Nick?”
Nick to Simon: “I say, Simon, how did you get that rather natty face onto your tie knot?”
“there only here to see me – you know that don’t you!”

OR
NC: “We’re going to have to start singing from the same hymn sheet, Simon. It’s for the good of the party.”
SH: “Which hymn sheet, and which party?”

NC to S: `Let`s make L/D progressive values work for Britain, over this Parliament’
S to NC `Yes Nick,you bet, we will do it for the Country,not for the Daily Mail Editor’

or
Nick – “Do you remember our policy on student fees?”
Simon – “Oh dear god Nick, not again”
