Scenes with Linton Barwick
3 scenes
Linton Barwick My golly, I can't see why anyone would choose to work in a glass office, huh? Glass offices, in my opinion, are for perverts.
BA Bob Adriano
I could request the glass be frosted.
Linton Barwick Frosting is on cakes, huh? Now, what else happened in London?
BA Bob Adriano
Ah, generally positive, two glitches...
Linton Barwick Really? What?
BA Bob Adriano
Karen flagged a report by one of her staffers, she's obviously trying to use it as some kind of roadblock. It's called PWIP PIP.
Linton Barwick PWIP what?
Linton Barwick What is it, a report on bird calls? What does it even stand for?
BA Bob Adriano
I can't recall. It's factish—intel for and against intervention.
Linton Barwick We have all the facts on this we need, we don't need anymore facts. In the land of truth, my friend... the man with one fact is the king.
Linton Barwick So, welcome to the somewhat engorged session of the Future Planning Committee.
Yes, Assistant Secretary, on point six, it feels it feels like there's already been an assumption that we're invading. Don't you think that we should discuss the practical implications? I mean, this is, after all, the war committee.
Linton Barwick Uh, this is the Future Planning Committee.
Well, unofficially, it is called the war committee.
Linton Barwick Well, Karen, unofficially, we can call anything whatever we want. (holds up a glass of water) I mean, unofficially, this is a shoe, but it's not, Karen, it is a glass of water. And this is the Future Planning Committee.
(holding his own glass of water)
Uh, unofficially, this appears to be bullshit.
(to Barwick)
Linton! Linton!
Linton Barwick (turns around)
Mr. Tucker, isn't it? Nice to see you again. (handshake)
Linton Barwick (chuckles)
Is there a problem, Mr. Tucker?
I've just come from a briefing with a nine year old child.
Linton Barwick Oh, you're talking about A.J. He's one of our top guys. He's one of our brightest and best.
Yeah, well his briefing notes were written in Alphabetti Spaghetti. When I left I nearly tripped over his **** umbilical cord.
Linton Barwick Well I'm sorry that it troubles you that our people achieve excellence at such an early age. But can we just move on to what's really important? Now I understand that your Prime Minister has asked you to supply us with some, let's say "fresh", British Intelligence, is that true?
Yeah, apparently your **** master race of highly-gifted toddlers can't get the job done...
Linton Barwick All right.
...between breast feeds and playing with their Power Rangers, so an actual grown-up has been asked to **** bail you out.
