A scene from Love Actually 2003
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 Shakespeare, Churchill, the Beatles, Sean Connery, Harry Potter. David Beckham'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.
