"I'm not British. I'm American. I smile. Sure you are," is a conversation snippet reflecting a humorous or sarcastic exchange. The character affirms their American identity confidently, possibly in response to a misunderstanding or stereotype.
The dialogue continues with a reference to attending SOAP, which is clarified as the School of America in Paris, indicating the character's connection to the institution. The mention that the father sent the character to be "cleansed" suggests a deeper or more humorous reason for their stay, adding to the story's playful tone in Stephanie Perkins' "Anna and the French Kiss."
