Queen Elizabeth II: What is it you'd like me to do?
Michael Fagan: Save us all. From her.
Queen Elizabeth II: Who?
Michael Fagan: Thatcher! She's destroying the country! We've got more that three million unemployed. That's more than at any time since the Great Depression, doesn't that bother you?
Queen Elizabeth II: Yes, it bothers me greatly. But there's nothing I personally can do about it. When you've been in... my position as long as I have, you see how quickly and how often a nation's fortunes can change. Joblessness, recession, crises, war, all of these things have a way of correcting themselves. Countries bounce back. People do. Because they simply have to.
Michael Fagan: That's what I thought. That I'd bounce back. And then I didn't. First the work dried up, then my confidence dried up. Then... the love in my wife's eyes dried up. And then you begin to wonder, you know, where's it gone? Not just your confidence or your happiness, but your... They say I have mental health problems now, but I don't! I'm just poor.
