LITTLE BRITAIN - Season 2 Episode 2 - SEBASTIAN AND THE U.S.

PRESIDENT - Compiled Juan Carlos David

Presenter: Britain is a democracy where any citizen can become Prime

Minister, as long as they've got a degree and aren't black.
Today, the Prime Minister is having a very important summit with the
American President.
P M: I hear what you say, but I think what you're proposing is an abuse of
our friendship.
American President: Look, there are no half measures. Either you are
with the United States on this or you are against us.
P M: Well, I think we'll have to take advice from the United Nations
because I refuse to be bullied into making a snap decision.
American President: The United Nations can go to hell! If you want the
special relationship with our country to continue, you’re gonna have to
start delivering!
P M: Before you rush into anything, perhaps you'd like to see what the
British intelligence has to say.
American President: And perhaps you'd like to see what the CIA has
gathered.
P M: Sebastian, could you get the document for the President, please?
Sebastian: Yes, Prime Minister. I'll get it right now, Prime Minister.
American President: Marvin, can you get the CIA files for the Prime
Minister, please?
Marvin: Yes, sir, Mr. President, sir!
Sebastian: My Prime Minister is so much better than your President!
Marvin: Mr. President's big and powerful and so rugged. Your Prime
Minister sucks!

Sebastian: How dare you! Get your hands off me! Get your hands off
me!
P M: What on earth is going on? That's enough!
Sebastian: He was the one who started it.
P M: Enough! Mr. President, we have to go to the photo call.
This behaviour is completely inappropriate. This is a difficult enough
situation and you're making it a lot worse.
American President: Let me handle this. You two should be ashamed of
yourselves. Two senior aides acting like a pair of third graders! You're an
embarrassment!
Sebastian & Marvin: Ooh!
