“I think I want you,” he said.
Georgie squeezed the hand he was holding to his chest, and used it as an anchor to pull herself closer. “You think...”
Neal licked his bottom lip and nodded. “I think...” The closer she was, the more he looked away. “I think I just want you,” he said.
“Okay,” Georgie agreed.
Neal looked surprised – he almost laughed. “Okay?”
She nodded, close enough to bump her nose up against his. “Okay. You can have me.”
He pushed his forehead into hers, pulling his chin and mouth back. “Just like that.”
“Yeah.”
“Really,” he said.
“Really,” she promised.”

“We adored it, and discussed it, and swapped jokes from it, and it made us feel more alive. In some way, it was cathartic: it exhilarated us by lifting us up above our everyday frustrations and boredoms. It gave us a liberating perspective on this odd event unfolding around us, called 'our life.' And when, years later, I became bewildered by the reception of Monty Python by some of our looniest fans, I suddenly realised they were experiencing exactly the combination of emotions that had rendered me such a devotee of the Goons, and so I was able to forgive them.”

“Neal didn’t like to be asked things. It made his jaw tense. He’d give you a flippant answer. Like, whatever you were asking, it wasn’t any of your business.
Like nothing was anyone’s business.
Like nobody should ask questions that didn’t absolutely need to be answered.”
