450 

[reporter] Telegrams have been pouring

into Downing Street today

451

to wish Sir Winston Churchill,

a happy 80th birthday

452

on this the 30th of November.

453

They come from all...

454

 [Clementine hums[A1]  "Happy Birthday"]

455

 [Churchill chuckles]

456

Happy birthday, my darling old pug.

457

 Happy birthday to you

458

 Happy birthday to you 

459

Happy birthday, dear Prime Minister 

460

 Happy birthday to you

461

 [applause]

462

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow 

463

For he's a jolly good fellow [A2] 

464

And so say all of us

465

 [knocks on door]

466

-Oh, is it time?

-It is, Ma'am.

467

Right.

468

-Do sit down, Michael.

-Thank you, Ma'am.

469

[man] Westminster Hall, silent witness

of nearly a thousand years of history,

470

was the scene of the birthday

presentations to Sir Winston.

471

I am deeply honored to be here today.

472

No politician

473

has ever received such an honor before.

474

And I am deeply grateful.

475

I am aware, however,

476

that after having served my country,

477

for 54 of my 80 years...

478

-"resignation"...

-[laughter]

479

-is a word that hangs in the air.

-[laughter]

480

And indeed,

it is the perfect occasion for it,

481

and the stage is set

and the audience is assembled,

482

-all ready for a grand valediction[A3] .

-[laughter]

483

There's only one problem,

the lead actor has forgotten his lines.

484

 [laughter]

485

And instead of standing down,

he is taking an encore[A4] .

486

 [laughter]

487

Oh, dear, he's playing with them all.

488

When your political colleagues

are kind enough

489

to present you with a portrait

by an ambitious modernist...

490

one has to ask oneself,

491

"Is it a gift, or is it a curse?"

492

Mr. Sutherland, the artist, and I

493

spoke a great deal during my sittings.

494

I reminded him of the stakes involved.

495

That his portrait was not just of me,

496

but of the office I represent.

497

Indeed,

of our entire system of government.

498

So, at long last[A5] ,

499

I look forward to unveiling this painting.

500

 [gasping, applause]

501

 [laughter]

502

A fine, patriotic piece of modern art.

503

 [laughter, applause]

504

 [Churchill] Why are you here?

505

I understand you've rejected the painting.

506

-I have.

-On what grounds[A6] ?

507

That is not a painting.

It's a humiliation!

508

"How shall I paint him today?"

509

"Ah! Sitting on a chair,

producing a stool[A7] ."

510

"A broken, sagging[A8] , pitiful[A9]  creature,

squeezing[A10] and squeezing!"

511

-That's not how it's being seen.

-That is how it is.

512

-And I will not accept it.

-I don't think it's wise to reject it.

513

It was commissioned by the members

of the joint Houses of Parliament

514

as a sign of respect.

515

Well, then they should have commissioned

an artist who is respectful,

516

instead of a Judas

wielding[A11]  his murderous brush.

517

Look at it!

It is a betrayal of friendship.

518

And an unpatriotic, treacherous[A12] ,

519

cowardly assault

by the individualistic left.

520

-As regards the friendship...

-Clearly there is none.

521

I accepted this commission

because I admired you

522

and I came through[A13] the experience

admiring you even more.

523

You make monsters of everyone you admire?

524

It's not vindictive.

It's art. It's not personal.

525

Well, you are a lost soul.

526

A narcissist without direction

or certainty.

527

Please, sir.

Don't overreact. Give it time.

528

I showed those sketches[A14] 

to your wife throughout[A15] .

529

-She remarked on [A16] how accurate[A17]  they were.

-That is the whole point.

530

It is not a reasonably

truthful image of me!

531

-It is, sir.

-It is not! It is cruel!

532

Age is cruel!

533

If you see decay[A18] ,

it's because there's decay.

534

If you see frailty[A19] ,

it's because there's frailty.

535

I can't be blamed for what is.

536

And I refuse to hide

and disguise [A20] what I see.

537

If you're engaged in a fight with

something, then it's not with me.

538

It's with your own blindness.

539

I think you should go.

540

 [car door slams, engine starts]

541

He's right.

542

-What?

-I am that man in the painting.

543

Wretched[A21] and decaying.

544

-I cannot go on.

-You've said that before.

545

This time I mean it. I'm tired.

546

You've had enough?

547

I have, my love.
