INT. CAR - DAY
Three secret service BODYGUARDS leap out and open the car
doors. TONY looks out at the palace..
TONY:
Funny, I’m actually rather nervous.
CHERIE:
Why? You’ve met her often enough
before.
TONY:
I know. But never one to one. And
never as Prime Minister.
CHERIE:
Remember, you’re a man that’s just
been elected
by the whole country.
TONY:
Yes. But she’s still, y’know..
TONY looks up at the vast palace in front of him..
TONY:
The Queen.
INT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE - CORRIDOR/STAIRCASE - DAY
A uniformed EQUERRY leads TONY and CHERIE through corridors,
and up a grand staircase..
EQUERRY:
When we reach the audience room, I
will knock. We will not wait to be
called, we will go straight inside.
Standing by the door, we bow. From the
neck. I will introduce you. The Queen
will extend her hand, you go to her,
bow again, then shake her hand.
TONY shoots his cuffs, ‘Right’, clears his throat.
EQUERRY (cont’d)
Couple of other things. It’s ‘Ma’am’
as in ham, not Ma’am as in farm.
TONY:
Yes..
EQUERRY:
And when you’re in the Presence, at no
point must you show your back.

TONY:
The ‘Presence’?
EQUERRY:
Yes, Sir. That’s what it’s called,
when you’re in her Majesty’s company.
TONY turns, shoots a look at CHERIE, who sticks her fingers
down her throat. TONY smiles back..
The EQUERRY reaches a grand door, and knocks gently. Without
waiting for a reply, he enters..
CHERIE is left in the corridor. Alone. She stares at a
liveried FOOTMAN.
He stares back. No life behind his eyes. CHERIE takes a seat
on a chair. Eyes widen to herself.
INT. BUCKINGHAM PALACE - AUDIENCE ROOM - DAY
TONY and the EQUERRY enter, and gently bow their heads. The
EQUERRY then straightens, and announces..
EQUERRY:
Mr Blair, your Majesty.
The QUEEN extends her hand. TONY walks forward, and shakes
it. The EQUERRY leaves. The door is then closed.
ELIZABETH:
Congratulations.
TONY:
Thank you, Ma’am.
ELIZABETH:
Your children must be very proud.
TONY:
I hope so.
ELIZABETH:
You’ve three, haven’t you?
TONY:
That’s right.
ELIZABETH:
How lovely. Such a blessing. Children.
The QUEEN and TONY take their seats..
ELIZABETH:
So..Have we shown you how to start a
nuclear war yet?
