The Special Relationship Page #10

Synopsis: In 1992, Labour leader Tony Blair goes to America and is impressed by the policies of President Bill Clinton, which he uses to reshape his party. Two years later, he is invited back for an audience with Clinton, who, rightly, predicts that he will be Britain's next Prime Minister. Thus begins the 'special relationship' between the two, though Clinton is clearly the senior partner with Blair seeking his advice on Northern Ireland. The situation in Kosovo however reverses the roles as Blair forces American intervention by a reluctant president and is seen in the American media as the hero of the hour. As Clinton accuses his ally of stabbing him in the back the special relationship starts to sour and, with Clinton ultimately out of the White House, Blair takes his first photo call with the next incumbent, George W. Bush.

Euan, kathryn, behind the wall.

- right, that's it.

- Up you go.

Back into the house,

because if you're...

so after our little talk,

did you decide which way to jump yet?

Hug 'im close, go for glory

or do the right thing

and head for home?

Not yet.

Well, I guess I'll have to

be like everybody else...

Just watching the press

conference on tv,

scrutinizing the body

language for telltale signs.

I guess you will.

I guess so.

- goodbye, tony.

- Goodbye, mr. president.

Right face!

Yeah, he's just leaving now.

Yeah, I've got it in hand. yeah.

Yeah. yeah, okay.

All right, I'll see you then.

All right, get ahold of john

and tell him to bring...

It's my honor to welcome

the prime minister

from our strongest

friend and closest ally

to camp david.

We've had a couple

of formal visits.

More importantly, we've had a

nice walk around camp david

and gotten to know each other.

As they've told me,

he's a pretty charming guy.

He put the charm offensive on me.

I- - - and it worked.

A question for both of you.

There's been a lot said

about how different you

are as people.

Have you already in your talks

found something maybe that you...

some personal interest that

you have in common,

maybe in religion, sport or music?

Well, we both use

colgate toothpaste.

They're gonna...

they're gonna wonder how you

know that, george.

I don't know if you found

any common ground or not.

I think that's enough

to be going on with.

See you at the gym.

my name should be trouble

my na should be woe

for trouble and heartache

is all that I know

yes, lonely

lonely blue boy

is my name...

my life has been empty

my heart has been torn

it must have been raining

the night I was born

yes, lonely

lonely blue boy

is my name

well, I'm so

I'm so afraid of tomorrow

and so tired

- so tired of today

- tired of today

they say that love

is the answer

but love

never came my way

I'm writing this letter

to someone unknown

so if you should find it

and if you're alone

well, lonely

lonely blue boy

is my name

remember lonely

lonely blue boy
