[Scene #33]
Jamie : (Pidgin Portuguese) B ello. Er, bella. Er, mon-montagno, arbore...
No, right. Silence is golden.
As the Tremeloes said. Clever guys, although I think the original version was by Frankie Valli And
The Four Seasons. Gr-great band.
(♪ High-pitched humming: Silence Is Golden) Oh, shut up.
[Scene #34]
(Press) : Mr President! Over here, sir! What will you be talking about?
PM : Mr President, welcome.
US Pr : It's a pleasure to meet you.
PM : Come on through. I'm sorry your wife couldn't make it by the way.
US Pr : So is she. Although she would have been kind of lonely, I;m sure…
PM : Yes. Pathetic, isn't it? Just never been able to tie a girl down. I’m not sure politics and dating really
go together.
US Pr : Really? I've never found that.
PM : Yes, well, the difference is that you're sickeningly handsome, whereas I look increasingly like my
Aunt Mildred. I’m very jealous of your plane, by the way.
US Pr : Thank you. We love that thing. I’ll tell you.
PM : Ah, Natalie. Hi.
US Pr : Morning, ma'am. How's your day so far?
US Pr : Excellent. My goodness, that's a pretty little son of a bitch right there. Did you see those pipes?
PM : Yes, she's terrific… at her job.
minister1 : No, absolutely not. We cannot and will not consult on that either.
Alex : That is unexpected.
US Pr : Well, it shouldn't be. The last administration made it perfectly clear.
We are just being consistent with their policies.
Alex : But, with all respect, they were bad policies.
PM : Right, Thanks, Alex. I don't think we're making progress here. Let's, erm... move on, shall we?
PM : Well, now, that was an interesting day.
US Pr : I’m sorry if our line was firm - there's no point tiptoeing around today, and then just disappointing
you for four years. I have plans and I plan to see them through.
PM : Absolutely. There is one final thing I think we should look at - very close to my heart. If you could just
give me a second.
US Pr : I'll give you anything you ask for. As long as it's not something I don't wanna give.
PM : (PM goes out and bring a document) Hi.
(PM comes back into the room and sees the US pr try to kiss Natalie)
US Pr : It's great Scotch.
Natalie : I'll, erm... I'll be going, then.
US Pr : Er, Natalie, I hope to see much more of you as our two great countries work toward a better future.
Natalie : Thank you, sir.
[Scene #35]
PM : Er, yes, Peter.
Peter(press) : Mr President, has it been a good visit?
US Pr : Very satisfactory indeed. We got what we came for and our special relationship is still very
special.
press2 : Prime Minister?
PM : I love that word "relationship". Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become
a bad relationship.
A relationship based on the President taking what he wants and casually ignoring all those
things that really matter to, erm... Britain. We may be a small country but we're a great one, too.
The country of Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David
Beckham's right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no
longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared
to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that.
(People and the press are satisfactory)
Press : Mr. President!
