Quote Unquote - Office politics

 

From New Tricks, a British series about a group of formerly retired Police officers who are contractors to Scotland Yard, solving cold cases.  They are managed by a full-time Police officer, called Sandra.

In this scene, she is in the pub, talking to her boss.  She complains about some HR tests being done on her team.

"You never were very good at politics, Sandra," he says.

"With all due respect, Sir," she replies, "that's like telling someone they're not a very good arsehole!"
