Sir Humphrey Appleby:   Didn't you read the Financial Times this morning?
Sir Desmond Glazebrook: Never do.

[talking about a bank's building plans for a new skyscraper]
James Hacker:           I see, it's just profits, isn't it, Sir Desmond?
Sir Desmond Glazebrook: Not just profits, it's profits.
James Hacker:           Don't you think of anything but money?

Sir Desmond Glazebrook: Beauty? This is a building, not an oil painting.

Sir Desmond Glazebrook: Oh yes, I promise you we'll make sure it is part of the environment. It's bound to be once it's there,
