| 0:00.0 | It's me, Dave Holmes. Welcome to International Waters, the panel show that pits American and British entertainers against one another in a global showdown of wit and charm and knowledge and ability to find things about living in our respective countries that don't make us want to move to the core of the earth. These days, the special relationship is really more like a trauma bond. |
| 0:22.5 | It's more than ever hard to find any kind of pride in being either American or British, but that is |
| 0:28.5 | why we are here to bond anew in the spirit of playful adversity, just to wrestle like a couple |
| 0:36.4 | sweet little puppies. |
| 0:38.3 | Today we're gonna take on the only adversary we can mutually agree on ourselves. |
| 0:43.3 | Right now, it is coming up on the nation's birthday. |
