I don't look upon this like it's the end. I look upon it like it's moving on.

It's almost like my work here's done. I can't imagine Jesus going, "Oh! I've told a few people here in Bethlehem I'm the son of god. Can I just stay with mom and dad now?" No. You gotta move on. You gotta spread the word. You've got to go to Nazareth... please. And that's very much like... me. My world does not end with these four walls. Slough's a big place. And when I've finished with Slough, there's Reading, Aldershot, Bracknell. You know.. I've got Didcot, Yateley. Winnersh. Taplow. Because I am my own boss, I can... Burfield. I can wake up one morning and go, "Oh. I don't feel like working today. Can I stay in bed?" "Oh don't know. Better ask the boss." "David, can I stay in bed all day?" "Yes you can, David." Both me. That's not me in bed with another bloke called David.

Brent: All right, Tim? All right? What, her? She's writing an article on me, for "Inside Paper". Ben's... Ben, are you wondering who that is? Well, I'll tell yo u all. If you're wondering who this stranger is, wondering around, she's writing an article on me for "Inside Paper". Where have you been? Worker: Warehouse. B: You missed me telling everyone. She's writing an article on me for "Ins..." S ubject matter. Brent and Helena - Right. What do you want to know? - Do you mind if I talk to some of your staff later? - Why? - Well my train doesn't leave till 1:30 so I'll hang about if that's ok and have a chat with some of them. - Well I wanna see what they say, before.. - I'm not gonna put anything nasty in.. - They won't say anything nasty. - Ok. Right, so would you like to tell me about your individual outlook on manag ement? - Sure. Um..put..."David Brent is refreshingly laid-back for a man with such res ponsibility." - Yeah can you just answer in your own words and I'll work that out. - Um..."Brent mused and then replied..." - Sorry now, David. Could you just say what's on your mind and I'm getting it do wn. - Well are you getting it down? Coz, you're not doing shorthand and I'm going to be pretty... - Just... - Well... ok. Your question I suppose was "Is it difficult to remain authoritati ve and yet so popular?" - No, that wasn't my question. - Shall we answer that one first?

- Sorry. Now can we just stick to my questions? - Well, maybe you should be clear what the question is, coz I'm getting a little bit..and that's.. you know.. - Ok. H - Private life then, just to flesh out David Brent the man. Is there a better half? B - "David quipped, "why buy a book when you can join a library?"" - So you play the field? - Well... I don't like using chicks and shit. - But I'm just chilling out while I'm young I suppose. - And is there a chick in tow at the moment? - I don't kiss and tell. - I'm just trying to find out if you're in a relationship at the moment? - "Brent says, 'no comment'." - So you don't have a girlfriend? - Well, what is a "girlfriend"? - Someone you'd have sex with? - Don't get coarse in a magazine for the public. - I don't think you'd win a Pulitzer for filth. Brent - That's why my professionalism is probably only as important as... come i n... my humanism. Dawn - Hi. I just wondered if you got any time for a little chat. - I've always got time for staff, Dawn. You know that. "He's always got time for staff." - Before you go... - "even though a lot happening in his mind, should be on other stuff, he still.. " Shoot. - Before you leave, I wanted to hand in my notice. - Ooh, no. Thought this would happen. - Who else is thinking of doing this, Dawn? - Don't think anyone is. - Don't throw your career away just because I'm leaving. I know it won't be the same, but you'll probably get to know someone else, and then.. - That's not why I'm actually going. - Read between the lines. - Well, you haven't read it. - Very flattering but, is it just a coincidence that you're handing in your noti ce when I'm leaving? - Yes, it is. - Is it? Helena - May I ask why you're leaving? If you don't mind me asking. Dawn - No. I'm going to go away with my fianc . - Oh where you going? - The states. Brent - Allright. Ok. We're just.. yeah, thanks. What are you going to write ab out this? because I thought... Ok. Cheers. I thought we were... getting back to. .. "Strings to Brent's bow. A) philanthropist." Brent - These are the guys from Cooper & Webb, the management training consultan ts. Helena - What sort of management training is it? - We... I'll answer. They use celebrity speakers... expert speakers. And my pers onal tip is my rise to the top, which gives it a whole new edge. So... ok. - So where are we? Shoot.

Consultant - We'd like to thank you very much for the time you've given us... - No sweat. It's what I do. - but we won't be using you again, I'm afraid. - You won't be? - Why not? - It's just not exactly what we were looking for. - No I know but I'll do it how you... I did it like that because that was the vi be of the day, wasn't it? - I'll do it differently. How do you want me to do it? - We have a very specific idea of what it is that we're looking for, and we know ... - Oh, fucking hell! - We would like to say thank you... - Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yada, yada, yada. Go on and get.. Timewasters. - We're really sorry about... - Oh, get out. Go on. Thank you. Wasting my time. Helena - Oh you mean me as well? - Yeah. - Would you mind if I just took a quick photo? - No. - I'm just waiting for the flash. to.. - Yeah. There's a green light. - Ok. Right. - Can I take one more for safety? - Just waiting for the green light. - Yeah I know. Right. - Thank you.
