“You know, Dominic, in about ten years’ time, twenty years’ time, you’re going to be sitting in some bar, in one of our horrible, wet, rainy London bars, and you’re going to be sitting at the bar stool, and it’s going to be late in the day, and you’re going to say to the barman, or anyone who will listen, you’ll say, ‘I was once in a show called The Wire. I dunno if you ever heard of it, but I was the lead actor.’ And that barman is going to look at you and go, ‘I think it’s time you went home now, sir.’ ”
