Hello. I am a person in a film or television drama. While I’m driving, I look at my passenger for 30 seconds or more without crashing the car.

Years ago, 9 Irish trainee accountants got lost in New York. A man gave us directions and then asked us would we like to go to an art show. When we got there, he said there’s Carly Simon, I’ll introduce you. We queued up, she was very gracious and we admitted to no one that we were accounts.

Not any particular line, just the idea that anyone could turn around after years of terrible behaviour and say β€œYou were always on my mind” AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

And I hate the implication (not for the first time) that losing to Italy is the bottom of the barrel.

I can take or leave LOTR, The Silmarillion, what have you, but if he wrote nothing other than the postscript to this invitation card, J.R.R. Tolkien would have a secure place in history.
