Yes, Minister
G
Jim Hacker's Office. Present are Jim Hacker ( Minister), Sir Humphrey Appleby and Bernard
Jim: Bernard.
Bernard: Yes, Minister?
Jim: *looks uncomfortable* It has been rumoured in the corridors, Bernard - not that I necessarily believe it, of course; in fact, I tend not to believe anything that's told to me here on principle - that you are... well, batting for the other side.
Bernard: I'm sorry, Minister; I don't quite follow.
Jim: You know. That you're... queering the pitch, swinging the other way, gay as a window.
Bernard: Actually, Minister, it would probably be the window dressing that was gay, rather than the window itself, because... *trails off* Sorry.
Humphrey: I think what the Minister is trying to say, Bernard, is that parliamentary gossip is suggesting that you are attracted to men, that you are, in short, homosexual. Is that right, Minister?
Jim: Yes. Thank you Humphrey.
Bernard: *enlightened* Oh, I see!
A pause
Humphrey: I think, Bernard, that the Minister is hoping for an answer.
Jim: Thank you, Humphrey. So... are you or are you not - what Humphrey said?
Bernard: *unpeturbed* Yes, Minister.
