SHOW SO ALLURING AND SEEM IN SOME WAYS LIKE A FAIRY TALE TO

US IN THE UNITED STATES IS JUST HOW PLUMBING ALL YOUR ACCENTS

ARE.

I THINK PART OF THE PEOPLE FOR AMERICANS WE HEAR THAT ACCENT

AND THINK OF IT AS VERY CLASSY.

I'D LIKE TO TRY AN EXPERIMENT RIGHT NOW, IF YOU DON'T MIND.

YOU CAN GUYS TRY AN AMERICAN ACCENT FOR ME?

THESE ARE ACTUAL-- MICHELLE, THAT'S FOR YOU.

ALLEN, OVER THERE.

HUGH, THIS IS FOR YOU.

THIS IS A SCENE FROM "DOWNTON ABBEY," AN ACTUAL SCENE, WHERE

YOU'RE TRYING IT DECIDE WHAT TO DO TO COVER THE COSTS BECAUSE

YOU'RE HARD UP FOR MONEY, AND I WOULD LIKE IT IF YOU COULD

PLEASE DO IT WITH AMERICAN ACCENTS, NOT BRITISH ACCENTS,

AND SEE IF IT DOESN'T BRING YOU PEOPLE.

( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) JUST BRING YOU PEOPLE DOWN TO

EARTH A LITTLE BIT.

>> SEE IF YOU STILL LIKE US.

>> Stephen: EXACTLY.

ARE WE OPEN ON "DOWNTON ABBEY," SCENE IN PROGRESS.

>> WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?

( LAUGHTER ) >> I WANT TO EXPLAIN WHY I THINK

WE SHOULD TURN DOWN WAVEL'S OFFER.

>> I KNOW WE ARE ONLY THE CARETAKERS OF DOWNTON, BUT, DAD,

SOME THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE.

>> TRUE.

( LAUGHTER ) TRUE, BUT WE MUSTN'T DESTROY

WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT.

HE WOULD WRECK THIS UGLY PLACE FOREVER WITH HIS UGLY, CHEAP

HOUSES.

>> BUT YOU CAN'T BLOCK ALL DEVELOPMENT.

>> OH, NO.

NO, HONEY, I WON'T.

I INTEND TO EXPAND BUT WITHOUT SPOILING.

I'M GOING TO MAKE A PLAN AND FIND A SOLID BUILDER WHO CAN FIT

INTO THE VILLAGE AND NOT RUIN IT.

>> HEY, GUYS, THAT MAY BE HARD TO ACHIEVE.

( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )

( CHEERS ) >> IT MAY BE HARDER THAN CASHING

WAVEL'S CHECK, BUT DOES THAT MEAN WE SHOULDN'T TRY?

>> NO!

>> WE WILL BUILD.

WE'LL EVEN MAKE MONEY FOR THE ESTATE, BUT WE WON'T DESTROY

WHAT PEOPLE LOVE ABOUT THIS PLACE.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S WRONG?

>> NO, IT'S NOT WRONG.

>> HEY, LET'S JUST FORGET ABOUT THIS.

MARY, WHO ARE YOU WEARING?

( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE ).

>> Stephen: AND SCENE!
