Winning London Page #3

Synopsis: Lord James Browning Senior co-hosts on his grand greater London estate teams of high-school students to the Model U.N. competition, where each 'represents' another country then their own, mostly as in the national selections. Lord James Junior is supposed to win as preparation to succeed his father as real diplomat, but his personal priority shifts to a crush on a member of unorthodox US team, which came just for fun.

will really open doors for you.

Prince Charming at 10:00.

It's settled then.

I'll tell Peterson to expect you at 7:00.

That's him? He's such a fox!

- Go.

- I'm not going there.

What are you doing here?

Why aren't you somewhere

prepping for tomorrow?

This is preparation. We're England.

What about you. What are you doing here?

Family business.

Our family's in the Parliament business?

My father's a Lord. Unfortunately.

Doesn't sound too unfortunate.

Well, it's difficult to explain to...

- What, a commoner?

- No, I...

Is this one of those

''quit while you are ahead'' things?

No more like

''quit while you're behind'' things.

I'd better go. We have a lot to see today.

Okay.

Chloe!

- Need a tour guide?

- Es!

- The Globe Theatre?

- Where Shakespeare put on all his plays.

- Nothing more English than Shakespeare.

- What about the muffins?

- The English ones?

- Eah?

- The English muffins.

- What about them?

''Romeo, Romeo,

wherefore art thou Romeo? ''

''A rose by any other name

would smell as sweet.''

Sorry, no women allowed.

Actors were men in Shakespeare's time.

Obviously you didn't see

Shakespeare in Love.

After you, my lady.

''But soft, what light

through yonder window breaks?

''It is the east, and Juliet...

''... is the sun.''

He is so cute.

En garde!

- Thou likest the Lakers?

- King Shaq of O'Neal doth ruleth the lane.

- Brian, stab her.

- No, take him down, Riles.

''Deny thy father and refuse thy name...

be but sworn my love.''

Just stab her.

What does thou thinkest

of the Dodgers this fortnight?

- Me thinketh they sucketh.

- Forsureth.

- Take her down James!

- Chloe!

Eah, Chloe!

Thank you, thank you.

- Tea time.

- Thanks dude. Dude, Lord, whatever.

Here you go.

Do you want to see my favorite spot

in London?

- Sure.

- Good. Follow me.

It's just around the corner, not too far.

Okay.

- Peter Pan?

- Do you know the story?

I confess.

I own the movie, read the book...

...and saw the play. Twice.

I come here sometimes, to think.

Peter Pan,

the boy who didn't want to grow up.

Don't you want to grow up,

Lord Browning?

Do I have the choice, Lady Lawrence?

You could fly off to Never Neverland.

Would you go with me?

Only if I didn't have to be Wendy.

I don't clean up after Lost Boys.

- Stop that, you did that on purpose.

- I did not, you just can't steer.

- Give me that.

- No.

Stay away from my boat.

Go, birdies, go. Fly, birdies, fly.

Perfect. Bring them over here.

Perfect. Beautiful shot.

This very odd American bird

makes its way across the Atlantic about...

...once in a lifetime for this...

...unusual mating dance.

Okay, cut.

Thanks for the tour.

I like to get to know my adversaries.

Good luck tomorrow.

- May the best team win.

- We will.

Bye.

Stay focused. Just knock them dead.

Go get them.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

... welcome to day one of

the International Model...

... United Nations Competition.

Over the next four days you will step into

the shoes of United Nations ambassadors...

... debating current issues

and resolving problems that affect...

... every country on earth.

Your team will be awarded points

in performance on speeches and debates...

... on decorum,

and in how well you represent...

... the point of view of the

country you've been assigned.

Life often throws you curve balls.

And so will we.

As in the real world,

you'll need to be prepared...

... for just about anything.

Each team was asked to come with

a proposal addressing world hunger.

Your objective today...

... is to get your proposal passed

by securing as many votes...

... from your fellow nations as possible.

This is a test of your ability

to convince people of your ideas.

Good luck.

Ireland, greatly concerned

about world hunger...

... proposes increased funding

for genetically engineered food.

War is by far the greatest cause

of world hunger.

Morocco proposes more resources

to peacekeeping and conflict resolution.

The U.K. Proposes providing farmers

with better technology worldwide...

... giving people the tools

to solve their own problems.

India believes...

... the key to solving world hunger

lies beneath the sea.

Marine biology has the potential

to feed unlimited people.

The People's Republic of China

proposes the problem is not too little food.

It's too many people.

Population control is the answer.

Delegates, let's get to work.

Guys, whatever it takes. This is war.

I thought this was the United Nations.

And the provisions of our proposal

would help people help themselves.

Can I count on your vote?

- Eah, sure.

- Good.

My country never votes with yours.

My sponsor is a health nut.

No junk food in our room.

I think we can deal.

All I'm saying is there are

some killer fashion and hair tips in here.

Not that you guys need them.

I just thought that

maybe you'd like to have a look.

Released in the States.

Won't be distributed worldwide for...

...three months.

I'll tell you what.

Our votes on our proposal...

...buys you five hours of free play.

One Kobe Bryant jersey.

All right. One Kobe and one Shaq.

All right.

Delegates, time's up. Please be seated.

- Can I count on your vote?

- Lf you dance with me at tonight's party.

My sister would love to.

Great.

Congratulations, delegates.

Your proposals were all very strong.

And now for today's results.

The team who passed their resolution

with the most votes is...

... the United Kingdom.

Followed by Ireland and China

in second and third place.

Give yourselves a round of applause.

Congratulations, delegates.

Now we know how the game is played.

- Hi.

- Two Cokes please.

Congratulations, girls, and guy.

I didn't realize we were dealing

with such formidable opponents.

Nice outfit.

I thought you might show in your armor.

Why? Will I need it?

Trading votes for junk food

and fashion magazines...

...we've a word for that here...

...bribery.

Excuse me.

Apparently, we didn't make

very many friends today.

No, apparently you didn't.

So we're gonna make some alliances.

Let's make one of our own,

on the dance floor.

- Be right back.

- Okay.

- Hey, Brian.

- Hey.

Nice club, huh?

Do you want to dance?

No.

Okay.

Unless I have a football and five guys

chasing me, I don't...

...move so well.

Then pretend you're being chased. By me.

Let's do it. Just loosen up.

James, you should know something

about me.

- What?

- I play to win.

As do I. We just choose to play differently.

Okay your turn, you try it.

Rach, why don't you give me the...

...ladies' point of view

on being a third wheel.

- Dylan, go away.

- No. Come on.

Tell me how it feels to be over here

when everyone...

Dylan.

I'm serious. Please just leave me alone.

Come on, Rach...

...Im playing around.

Sometimes, I just get tired.

I know. Me too.

Really?

No.

I'm just trying to be empathetic.

From one third wheel to another...

...do you want to dance?

Let's roll.
