William Terrence 'Billy' Fisher:
I have a sort of... well, it's an imaginary country where I go. I'm supposed to be the prime minister and you're the foreign secretary. It will be a big room, and when we go in it through the door, that's it. That's our country. Nobody else will be allowed in at all.

00:00:00.005 --> 00:00:02.898
Well, I've never told anybody before.
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.009
I have a sort of- well,
it's an imaginary country where I go.
00:00:07.998 --> 00:00:10.593
- It has its own people.
- Do you do that? I knew you would.
00:00:10.703 --> 00:00:14.000
Oh, Billy, why are we so alike? You
know I can read your thoughts. Town-
00:00:14.103 --> 00:00:16.934
Oh, no, no, no. This is more
than a town. It's a whole country.
00:00:17.999 --> 00:00:20.029
I'm supposed to be the prime minister,
and you're the foreign secretary.
00:00:20.139 --> 00:00:22.469
- Oh, thank you.
- I think about it for hours.
00:00:22.572 --> 00:00:26.666
Sometimes I think if we were married,
with a house of our own,
00:00:26.775 --> 00:00:29.935
we could just sit
and imagine ourselves there.
00:00:30.041 --> 00:00:34.601
- Yes, we could.
- I want a room in the house with a green/beige door.
00:00:34.071 --> 00:00:37.973
It will be a big room, and when
we go in it through the door, that's it.
00:00:38.998 --> 00:00:41.998
That's our country.
Nobody else will be allowed in at all.
00:00:41.111 --> 00:00:44.806
And I thought we could make models of
the principal cities out of cardboard...
00:00:44.913 --> 00:00:46.606
and have toy soldiers
painted for the people.
00:00:46.713 --> 00:00:51.238
We can draw maps. In the afternoon,
we could go there and nobody'd find us.
00:00:51.348 --> 00:00:53.405
We could design
our own newspapers.
00:00:53.515 --> 00:00:56.506
We could make uniforms if we wanted to.
It will be our country.
