The Press are ready, Prime Minister.
How'd you want me for this one?
Well, the conference is about your weekend...
(office turns into countryside. Blair puts on a casual shirt)
Ah, it's the weekend, and I'm relaxed. Downtime. Cup of tea. Jeans, with a crease, because I'm an ordinary guy.
The weekend with your family.
Ah, Family! [clicks fingers. Cherie, Euan and Leo appear] Adoring wife, growing brood, baby in arms, family man. Just like you.
Your weekend in Europe.
Ah, Europe! [Cherie and the kids disappear and the room turns back into the office] Controversial issue, let's talk it out. Jacket off, sleeves rolled up, sweaty armpits, as long as it takes. No bullshit.
The weekend which had to be posponed because of the war on terrorism.
[office turns into the front of 10 Downing Street. Jack Straw appears at Blair's side] War. Sober suit. Furrow brow. No smile this time. Statesman-like. Not like you.
And the tragic loss of life.
[black curtain descends] Ah, loss of life. Black tie. Voice cracks with... emotion. Manly tear in eye, men cry too. One of you again.
Which, since the weekend--
Ah, weekend! Downtime, tea, Jeans! [scenery rapidly flickers]
Mr. Blair, just be yourself!
[scenery stops half way through shift] Myself? Um, just... remind me?
