...respect everybody else, go to couples therapy. If I'm going to spend two weeks watching something, I want to see some people pouring Champagne on one another and some people crying at the end of it.

[Zimbabwe's other two vice presidents are ranking members of the ruling Zimbabwean African National Union-Patriotic Front (Zanu-PF) party, and perform a largely ceremonial role.] Since then, there has been little authoritative word - and much wild speculation - on how the talks were proceeding.
