JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: Coincidentally, that gets us to "Over There," which is the segment we do every Friday from Britain with my good friend, Richard Quest. Before we get to what Prince Harry is doing with his life -- and that actually was what was keeping me from sleeping last night, now that he's graduating from Exitor (ph). I was having trouble lying there worrying about what Harry is going to do next. But you're going to fill us in on that.
But how can the BBC do a poll and identify the most famous American as a guy from Canada? What's up with that?
RICHARD QUEST, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hey, listen, what's your problem? Homer Simpson -- Homer Simpson, identifiable, Simpson, U.S., get with it, Jack. And let's face it, listen, I agree with your viewers. The BBC paid my mortgage quite nicely for 15 years of my life.
CAFFERTY: There you go.
QUEST: Ted Turner is paying my mortgage now. Thank you very much. God bless them both.
CAFFERTY: I agree with you a 100 percent, absolutely.
Now, what's Harry doing? Harry is going to graduate. He's never going to be the king, though, right? So who cares?
QUEST: This is a -- this is a picture of Prince Harry or "Prince Hooray." He's going, "Yes!," as he finally leaves school. In fact, he actually went, "Yes!," when he left school after five years at Eton, the college that costs about 30,000. This is just a prep school, and he's finally left.
But, of course, before -- and to commemorate his leaving, we have numerous pictures of Prince Harry in his bedroom at this exclusive college. What did we learn? We learned that he uses cheap deodorant, that he has a cheap stereo and a picture of Halle Berry on the wall. We also learned, but we didn't see pictures of...
CAFFERTY: He's got good taste.
QUEST: ... well, that he has a woman's red thong...
CAFFERTY: What?
QUEST: ... nestling -- you know, a bit of women's underwear.
CAFFERTY: Is it his or somebody else's?
QUEST: That remains to be seen.
CAFFERTY: That, my friend, is the question.
QUEST: We also know that Harry is going to go into the military to the top military academy.
CAFFERTY: Good.
QUEST: That is what we know about Prince Harry.
Let me move to something else.
CAFFERTY: Go ahead.
QUEST: A new Web site that has got absolutely Britain talking by storm. It's called "a nice cup of tea and to sit down." Now, we really must get used to this, because there's nothing better in Britain than a nice cup of tea.
CAFFERTY: I thought you knew how to drink tea. Why do you need a Web site to teach you how to drink tea and cookies?
QUEST: Ah, tea and cookies. This is what we're -- Mrs. Miggins (ph) here who has decided to bring the tea in. Thank you very much. And we've got the cookies. Very kind. There we are.
Now, the issue is: What makes a nice cookie? Do you want a chocolate cookie, do you want a custard cream?
CAFFERTY: Yes.
QUEST: By the way, hundreds of thousands of people vote on this every week on this Web site. Or would you like a bourbon biscuit?
CAFFERTY: Yes, the chocolate.
QUEST: And then...
CAFFERTY: I want chocolate. Show me how it's done.
QUEST: Now, then -- ah, you know that we were going with this. That's the big issue: Should you be dunking biscuits? If you dunk that, you see, it holds its own.
CAFFERTY: Right.
QUEST: But if you dunk this one, then, of course, it all ends up as a big soggy mess. That's the way it looks.
CAFFERTY: The little crumbs come off and go in the bottom of the cup, right, which is disgusting when you get to the bottom of the tea cup?
QUEST: Nothing nicer than a nice cup of tea. CAFFERTY: Yes. All right, next week, we're going to talk about the statue of Britney Spears at Madam Tusoe's (ph) Wax Museum complete with a heaving bosom, something to look forward to certainly. Thank you, Richard. Good to see you, my friend. Richard Quest is "Over There."
QUEST: Thanks, Jack.
