- Jill Tankard: It's one thing to go around saying what you want. The test comes when you are actually given the chance to get it. When they wanted to get rid of Margaret Thatcher, John Major got toothache so he didn't have to answer his phone. A week later he was prime minister. How are your teeth?
- Anthea Catcheside: Just beginning to ache.
- Jill Tankard: Good, I'm glad to hear it.
- Margot Tyrrell: You know him well?
- Reverend Bernard Towers: I helped him through some difficult days. When he was a student, he loved the idea of faith, the life of the church. So, someone had to point out that he didn't actually believe.
- Margot Tyrrell: And that was you. And he didn't.
- Reverend Bernard Towers: No. He wanted to, more than anything, but sadly that's not the same thing.
