The Special Relationship Page #2

Ambassador,

so when I tell you that we share the

concerns of the people of okinawa,

I know that you'll believe me.

Secretary perry and I have

been talking through some ideas

that will safeguard our security

interests in the northern pacific,

as well as fulfill our

commitments to your people.

Japan has long been a

close security partner

with the united states and nothing,

I promise you,

is going to jeopardize that.

Well, it's good talking

to you too.

- mr. blair.

- Tony, please.

Welcome to the white house.

I have been following your

career with great interest.

So you know we've taken

a page out of your book.

Quite a few pages, which I

consider to be a big compliment.

Have a seat.

You know, we keep a pretty

close eye on things over here,

and we think that the

smart money is on you...

And I thought a high-profile

visit with an american president

might just help you

across the finish line.

Because I believe you're

going to win by a landslide.

So what you've got to realize is

rhetoric can only get you so far.

You can talk your way into office

but you're not going to stay

there unless you can deliver

on the promise of your words.

Well, we've had 17 years

of conservative government,

during which the country's

veered wildly off course.

If labour does get in,

I'd like to make sure that

we stay in long enough

to get us back on the right track.

I think we're going to

enjoy working together.

Now don't get me wrong-

major's not all that bad.

He's been great on

northern ireland.

And when you're elected

it is my sincere hope

that you continue

the fight for peace.

Oh, peace in northern ireland

is at the top of my agenda.

I just don't think it's

reasonable in today's world

to carry on with

that kind of dispute.

If you need my help,

just pick up the phone.

Thanks, I will.

And don't be surprised if you feel

completely, totally overwhelmed

when you do get into office,

because in all that

time out on the road,

scrambling and fighting

to actually get that job,

no one briefs you on what

you do when you get there.

- - now you

seem a pretty quick study,

I bet you're going to

settle in just fine.

So we have a few minutes

before the press.

Did anyone around here

tell you to ask

about the moon rock?

Uh, they did, actually.

You know, sometimes when things

get stressful around here,

I just shut that door,

sit on the couch, hold that rock

and think, "we all just

gotta chill a little. "

a productive meeting, mr.

President?

Very. we discussed

a number of things

including the peace process

in northern ireland,

which is an article of faith

for me personally, as you know.
