A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Winston Churchill: I so looked forward every Tuesday to my audiences with your, dear papa. His late Majesty was a hero to me and to all his people.

Queen Elizabeth II: Thank you. Do sit down, Prime Minister. I've ordered tea. Or something stronger, perhaps.

Winston Churchill: Oh, dear. Did no one explain? The Sovereign never offers a Prime Minister refreshment. Nor a chair. The precedent set by your great-great-grandmother was to keep us standing like Privy Councillors. To waste time is a grievous sin. And, if there is one thing I have learned in fifty-two years of public service, it is that there is no problem so complex, nor crisis so grave, that it cannot be satisfactorily resolved within twenty minutes. So, shall we make a start?
