Quotes 

• Press Conference Reporter : Mr. President, has it been a good visit?

  The President : Very satisfactory indeed. We got what we came for, and our special relationship is still very special.

  Press Conference Reporter : Prime Minister?

  Prime Minister : 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 exactly 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.

• [to the Prime Minister, after a fruitless day of failed negotiations between Britain and America] 

  The President : I'll give you anything you ask for - as long as it's not something I don't want to give.

• Prime Minister : I'm not sure that politics and dating really go together.

  The President : Really? I never found that.

  Prime Minister : Yeah, well, the difference is you're still sickeningly handsome, whereas I look increasingly like my Aunt Mildred.

• Prime Minister : I'm very jealous of your plane, by the way.

  The President : Oh, thank you. We love that thing, I'll tell ya.
