CITIZENS OF WATFORD: I wish to complain about this Tube extension, what I was promised not half a decade ago by this very council.
HERTS: Ah yes. The Metropolitan Line extension. What's wrong with it?
CoW: I'll tell you what's wrong with it! It's dead! /1

HERTS: No, no, the workers are uh,...they're resting.
CoW: Look, matey, I know a dead extension when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
HERTS: No no it's not dead, it's, it's being reviewed! Look mockups!
CoW: The mockups don't enter into it. It's stone dead. /2

THE HON. R HARRINGTON MP (chipping in): Nononono, no, no! I spoke to Grayling! And TfL!
CoW: All right then, I'll ask the Londoners (shouts at the Mayor) 'Ello, Mister Mayor! Will you build us some stations? We'll sell you some old car parks to do it on! /3

*HARRINGTON PRETENDS TO BE ON THE PHONE*
HARRINGTON: There. That was the Treasury. They say they're discussing things with TfL. And They said Grayling is really supportive.
CoW: That was you pretending the Cabinet was listening!
HARRINGTON: No it wasn't. /4

HARRINGTON: No it wasn't. /4
CoW: Now look. I've 'ad enough of this. The Met Line Extension is definitely deceased, and when I voted for you lot, feels like 'alf a year ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' 'under discussion'
HERTS: Maybe it's pining for the Fjords /5
HERTS: Maybe it's pining for the Fjords /5
CoW: PINING FOR THE FJORDS?! It's passed on! This extension is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet it's maker! 'It's shuffled off 'its mortal coil and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-TENSION!!
HERTS: Righto. Well. Want a busway? /6
