it was a Cold War meeting. The two main rivals, USA and USSR, are alone in a 'room'. The reasoning is that Britain and France got tired of the large conflict and just decided to shove them into a small 'room' until they stopped fighting... It's not really a room- it's a closet. They are both quite close... They can hear a distant argument between China, North Korea, Russia, and other communist states, against Canada, India, Germany, and other capitalist nations...
