Sir Humphrey: "Minister, Just one thing. I wonder if I might crave your momentary indulgence in order to discharge a, by-no-means disagreeable obligation, which is over the years become more-or-less, an established practice within government circles, as we approach the terminal period of the year, calendar of-course not financial. In fact not to put a too fine a point on it, week 51, and submit to you, with all appropriate deference for your consideration at a convenient juncture, a sincere and sanguine expectation and indeed confidence. Indeed one might go so far to say, hope, that the aforementioned period may be, at the end of the day, when all relevant factors have been taken into consideration, susceptible of being deemed to be such as, to merit the final verdict of having been, by-no-means unsatisfactory in it¹s overall outcome and in the final analysis to give grounds for being judged, on mature reflection to have been conducive to generating a degree of gratification, which will be seen in retrospect to have been significantly higher than the general average."
Jim Hacker: "Humphrey, are you saying Happy Christmas?"
Sir Humphrey: "Yes Minister!"
