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

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.
