Seeking Understanding in a Difficult Situation
Daniel So what's the problem, Sammy-o? Is it just Mum or is it something else? Maybe... school – are you being bullied? Or is it something worse? Can you give me any clues at all?
Sam You really want to know?
Daniel I really want to know.
Sam Even though you won't be able to do anything to help?
Daniel Even if that's the case, yeah.
Sam OK. The truth is actually... I'm in love.
Daniel Sorry?
Sam I know I should be thinking about Mum all the time, and I am. But the truth is I'm in love and I was before she died, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Daniel Aren't you a bit young to be in love?
Sam No.
Daniel Oh, OK, right. Well, I'm a little relieved.
Sam Why?
Daniel Well, you know – I thought it might be something worse.

Unexpected Love in Unlikely Places
Billy Mack I realized that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love.
Joe Right.
Billy Mack And I realized that as dire chance and fateful cockup would have it, here I am, mid 50s, and without knowing it I've gone and spent most of my adult life with a chubby employee. And much as it grieves me to say it, it might be that the people I love is, in fact... you.
Joe Well, this is a surprise.
Billy Mack Yeah...
Joe Ten minutes at Elton John's and you're as gay as a maypole.
Billy Mack I left Elton's, where there were a hefty number of half-naked chicks with their mouths open, in order to hang out with you, at Christmas.
Joe Well, Bill...
Billy Mack It's a terrible, terrible mistake, Chubs, but you turn out to be the fucking love of my life. And to be honest, despite all my complaining, we have had a wonderful life.

Organizing the Christmas Party Challenges
Harry Right, the Christmas party, not my favourite night of the year and your unhappy job to organise.
Mia Tell me.
Harry It's basic, really. Find a venue, over-order on the drinks, bulk buy the guacamole and advise the girls to avoid Kevin if they want their breasts unfondled.
Tensions in U.S.-UK Relationship Highlighted at Conference
Press Conference Reporter Mr. President, has it been a good visit?
The President of the U.S. Very satisfactory indeed. We got what we came for and our special relationship is still very special.
Press Conference Reporter Prime Minister?
Prime Minister I love that word "relationship". Covers all manner of sins, doesn't it? I fear that this has become a bad relationship. A relationship based on the President taking exactly what he wants and casually ignoring all those things that really matter to, erm... Britain. We may be a small country but we're a great one, too. The country of ], ], the ], ], ]. ]'s right foot. David Beckham's left foot, come to that. And a friend who bullies us is no longer a friend. And since bullies only respond to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared to be much stronger. And the President should be prepared for that.

The Concept of "The One" in Love
Daniel You know, Sammy, I'm sure she's unique and extraordinary, but... the general wisdom is that, in the end, there isn't just one person for each of us.
Sam ] film] There was for Kate and Leo. There was for you. There is for me. She's "the one".

Reluctance to Embrace Political Responsibilities
Annie Would you like to meet your household staff?
Prime Minister Yes, I would like that very much indeed. Anything to put off actually running the country.
The Ubiquity of Love in Life
David, the Prime Minister Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there – fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.

Prime Minister Right. Goodness. Well, well. You know, being Prime Minister, I could just have him murdered.
Natalie Thank you, sir. I'll think about it.
Prime Minister Do. The ] are absolutely charming. Ruthless trained killers are just a phone call away.

Harry Oh. Yeah, why not.
Clerk Lovely. Just pop that in there. (puts in in a box, measures out ribbon)
Harry Can we be quite quick?
Clerk Certainly, sir. Ready in the flashiest of flashes. (ties ribbon) There.
Harry That's great!
Clerk Not...quite. (gets a small bag)
Harry I don't need a bag, I'll just put it in my pocket.
Clerk Oh this isn't a bag, sir.
Harry No?
Clerk This is so much more than a bag. (puts box in bag and sets it upright)
Harry Can we be quite quick?
Clerk Prontissimo! (fills the bag with flowers petals and lavender. Brings out something else)
Harry What's that?!
Clerk It's a cinnamon stick, sir.
Harry Can we get a move on?
Clerk You won't regret it.
Harry Wanna bet?
Clerk There. Almost finished.
Harry Almost finished"?! What else are you gonna do, you gonna dip it in yoghurt? Cover it in chocolate buttons?
Clerk No, sir. Just pop it in the Christmas box.
Harry But I don't want a Christmas box!
Clerk You said you wanted it gift-wrapped sir.
Harry I did, but-
Clerk This is the final flourish, sir.
Harry Can I just pay?!
Clerk All we need now...
Harry Oh God!
Clerk Is a sprig of holly.
Harry No! No! No bloody holly!

Tony No!
Colin Yes! To a fantastic little place called Wisconsin!
Tony No!
Colin Yes! Wisconsin babes, here comes Sir Colin!
Tony No, Col! There are a few babes in America, I grant you, but they're going out with rich, attractive guys.
Colin Nah, Tone, you're just jealous. You know perfectly well that any bar anywhere in America contains ten girls more beautiful and more likely to have sex with me than the whole of the United Kingdom.
Tony That is total bollocks. You’ve actually gone mad.
Colin No, I'm wise. Stateside I am Prince William without the weird family.

Colin's Thoughts on Love and Nationality
Colin I've just worked out why I can't find true love.
Tony Why is that?
Colin English girls. They're stuck up, you see. And I am primarily attractive to girls, you know, who are cooler, game for a laugh. Like American girls. So I should just go to America! I'd get a girlfriend there instantly. What do you think?
Tony I think it's...crap, Colin.
Colin That's where you're wrong. American girls would dig me with my cute British accent.
Tony You don't have a cute British accent.
Colin Yes, I do! I'm going to America.
Tony Colin, you're a lonely, ugly arsehole. Accept it.
Colin Never. I am Colin, God of Sex. I'm just on the wrong continent, that's all.
A Question of Trust in Relationships
Karen Tell me, what would you do in my position?
Harry What position is that?
Karen Imagine your husband bought a gold necklace and come Christmas gave it to somebody else...
Harry Oh, Karen...
Karen Would you wait around to find out if it's just a necklace, or if it's sex and a necklace, or if worst of all it's a necklace and love? Would you stay, knowing life would always be a little bit worse? Or would you cut and run?
Harry Oh, God. I am so in the wrong. The classic fool.
Karen Yes, but you've also made a fool out of me, and you've made the life I lead foolish too.
