The Special Relationship Page #4

After all these months,

the peace process is back on track.

Well, I guess we can jot one down

for the good guys, eh?

Well, we've got a

real shot at this now.

And we could never have done

it without your support.

Hey, there are no debts here.

No I. o.u. s. we're just pulling

together to get a job done.

So if there's nothing else,

I've got to go.

If there's anything anytime...

tonight,

partly cloudy and cool,

dropping to the mid-upper 50s.

Weather updated around

the clock...

mr. president.

Let's go.

There's gonna be something in the

news today you should know about.

What? what is it?

It's not that I don't

know the answer,

it's just a very

badly-worded question.

And if I did tell you the answer,

- you wouldn't learn anything, would you?

- Except cheating.

- - right, euan,

you've got one more minute on that

and that's it. hello...

Yeah, are you near a television?

- yeah.

- Switch on the news.

Right. I'll have to

call you back, alastair.

- come on, nicky. come on.

- Give it here.

taken the city by storm.

This just in from washington.

Kenneth starr, the independent

counsel investigating

- alleged criminal conduct...

- Stop drawing pictures and get on with it.

...of president and mrs.

Clinton in the whitewater affair

issued a wave of white house

subpoenas today,

accusing the president of having

sex with monica lewinsky,

a 23-year-old white house intern.

Federal investigators are rumored

to be in possession

of taped conversations discussing

the alleged affair

between miss lewinsky and

president clinton.

The recordings,

in which she refers

to president clinton as

"the big he" and "the creep,"

recalling the paula jones case

in which detailed descriptions

of the president's penis...

okay, kids. enough.

- come on. out.

- come on.

Out, euan.

- nick.

- Oh, come on.

Come on. come on. come on.

Out out out out out.

Miss lewinsky is also

rumored to have said

in one of the taped conversations

that "I have lied my entire life. "

worse still, lewinsky alleges...

this might not be the best time to

be planning a trip to washington.

Well, who says any of it is true?

If ken starr is involved,

it's probably a right-wing witch hunt,

another muckraking exercise.

You watch.

This story could go away

as quickly as it's broken.

The president of america having

sex with a girl half his age?

Tonight, the president's

own lawyer...

this story hasn't even started.

...dismissed the allegations as

mischievous invention.

Okay, well, how-

how do you know this girl?

She was interning in the west

wing a couple of years ago.

- yeah.

- I talked to her a few times.

She said she was looking for a job

and, you know me,

I offered to help.

I gave her a couple of names

of people she could talk to.

I was just trying to be nice,

but apparently she seemed to

think it was something more.

She thought... she thought

it was more, why?

Why... why on earth

would she think that?

Well, I don't know.

You know how it is,

how people are around me.

So you're telling me that you did

nothing that could be misinterpreted?

- no. no.

- Nothing that could be misread?

- no

- Nothing?

Nothing. I swear.

Now the way they tell it,

I was having sex in the

oval office, midday.

- oh, for heaven's sake.

- Yeah, you know that's ridiculous.

With all the guards and the

windows around there,

that's not gonna happen.

These people...

This is just all the same bullshit.

They think they can put

something in the paper

and that just makes it true.

The same old innuendo.

The same old digging for dirt

when there's nothing there.

Ken starr is gonna go after you

with everything he's got.

They're discussing his

penis in public now...

"five and a ha inches with a

curve in the middle when erect. "

hardly errol flynn, is it?

I wonder who's angrier

with him now...

His wife for his betrayals

or his press secretary

for his modest endowment?

Now had it been 8"

long and thick as a baguette...

Oh, for god's sake, shut up.

A little irritable today,

aren't we?

I am. why do these european summits

always fill one with gloom?

Because they're full of pompous,

irrelevant twats

with stupid accents who

are stuck in the past

- and never know when to shut up.

- That would be the reason then.

Plus events in washington will

dominate all the front pages now.

Which makes the whole thing

feel rather pointless.

Sir. morning, sir.

The list you asked for

on the current members

of the european commission

and their staffs.

Thank you.

Who is she?

A new intern from

the foreign office.

You should know the tapes

of lewinsky's conversation,

her phone calls that are

supposed to be out there...

Well, are they out there or not?

Well, it's an ongoing

investigation. it's...

The information's privileged.

There's no way we can...

Fine, so these tapes that may

or may not be out there...

Yes, well, it's been suggested

they contain certain

revelations about...

the president's voicemails

to miss lewinsky,

an exchange of gifts,

his... his preference for oral sex

and the supposed existence

of a dress with semen stains.

That's enough.

Whether these...

tapes are out there or not,

it's a "he said, she said. "

we have a starstruck intern versus

the president of the united states.

They've got nothing.

Now the best way for

us to turn the tables,

to stop this being personal,

is to make it political,

because I'm not gonna conduct a

public debate about my marriage.

I want to conduct a debate

about the right-wing media

and ken f***ing starr,

because they have been on our

backs right from the begning.

So this is what we're gonna do.

the white house

said to bin crisis mode,

with one administration... -

inside politics

as mr. clinton prepares to give another

state of the union address.

... the prosecutor puts the

pressure on the white house intern.

White house scandal is

already the biggest soap

opera running

and the viewers show no

sign of tuning out.

But I want to say one thing

to the american people,

and I want you to listen to me.

I'm gonna say this again:

I did not have

sexual relations with that woman...

Miss lewinsky.

These allegations are false.

Now I need to go back to work

for the american people.

- thank you. -

There's been one subject

in particular weighing

on the minds

of the american public-

the alleged sexual relationship

between the president and

miss lewinsky.

Has your husband explained

the nature

of this relationship to

you in detail?

Well, we've talked at great length

and I think as this matter unfolds

the entire country will

have more information.

But we're right in the middle

of a rather vigorous

feeding frenzy right now.

And I have learned over these

last many years,

being involved in politics,

that the best thing

to do in these cases

is just to be patient,

take a deep breath

and the truth will come out.

But there's nothing we can
