...Usually. Sometimes it looks warm out, but it's a lie.

I hate when it looks like you don't need your coat, and then you step outside and it's freezing cold. That just isn't fair, because you even stopped to think about it--and made the decision that it was fine. And then you were wrong, and you are stuck being cold all day.

Me too! That happens to me all the time! One thing the other countries don't have on me is absolutely crazy weather. England's consistently rainy, Russia is consistently cold, but me? One day it's 70 and sunny, the next it's 50 and cold, and then it's 40 and raining and then it goes back up so it's humid!

I've never been to the United States.
And we have plenty of weather changes in London, Mister America. All the time. When I was home last week, it was raining on Monday--but warm. On Tuesday, it had stopped raining and it looked like it would be nice outside, and it was cold! And then, when I was getting on the train with the Professor on Sunday, it was warm and sunny outside...but then I ended up here, so I don't know how the weather was on Monday, or on any day since...

Well, I'm pretty much the greatest country out there, so you should pop by for a visit some time and spend copious amounts of money on tourist attractions!
England's got about three weather patterns: rain, more rain, colder and rainier, and then there's that one day where it might by sunny but then it just gets cloudy again. Kinda fits England's dreary personality, actually.

Do you have pictures of what it looks like? America, I mean. Not you, Mister America, but..the country..America... [He's so confused]
Have you ever been to England, Mister America? England the country...not England the person. If there is an England the person...

I know what ya mean! It's still me, for the record, just not my, uh. Body. So to speak. Anyway... hmm, now that you mention it, I don't! But I can ask Italy to paint some, or Namine to draw some from my memories.
There is, and I've been to England's place wayyyy too many times. It... is kinda pretty out in the country--never tell him I said that--but London's really confusing. It's all circles and driving on the left side. And there's always roundabouts! It should use New York's grid system.

To America..the country..I mean...
England is very pretty in the countryside, but I think London's very nice too. That's there the Professor teaches, and it's easy to get places. And I don't drive yet, so I guess I can't say anything about driving in England.
Is there an England person too?

Driving in England is the worst ever. I don't even want to elaborate on that. But, as far as cities go, I guess he could've done a whole lot worse. 'Course, I haven't really gotten to explore so much since the war, especially now that all his musicians are coming over to me!
Yep! Not here anymore, but you'll know him by his huge eyebrows and piss-poor attitude.

All England's musicians are going to America?
Why do you hate England so much, Mr. America? I mean..I know you guys had a war. If...it works that way, anyway. I read about the revolutionary war in history class, and if you are America the country-person then I could understand why you'd maybe not like England the country-person at least a little..but as far as the rest of history goes, you guys kind of agree on a lot of things.
Kind of like you're brothers! Brothers fight, but they agree on lots of things, but they could never, ever admit it. Because they are brothers.

Yeah! They know where the party's at! And I'm way more radical right now. The Beatles and the Stones and the Who really have the chance to rock out.

I don't hate him, really. Even if I kinda say it sometimes, but really, what kind of sicko gives me Marmite? I dunno. Bad blood. It was pretty awkward up until World War I, and he's still England. We're doing better nowadays, but he's still all prickly and mean and weird! If anything, he's the one who hates me! He feeds me all sorts of nasty things!
...We were brothers, once. Now it's really only in our memories.

I don't think he hates you. If he hated you, then you wouldn't be allies. And you are, so he can't hate you.
Besides, you don't ever get to say "I don't want to be family" with people in your family. So you are probably still brothers, even if you won't admit it. I don't get along with my father all that well, but he's still my father regardless. I can't change that, even if I wanted to. And even though I say I want to...I don't think I really do.
Um...I'm sorry I made you sad, Mr. America. I didn't mean to.

[ a brief pause, and suddenly he laughs in his usual, careless way ]
Sad? Why would I be sad? C'mon, it's just England! It's all history, like ya said! I'm glad I had a revolution. Besides, who'd wanna live forever with that guy?
