“Why the fuck did you invite me eh? You know, why the fuck any of us? Why this year, not any other bloody year? Is it because all our fucking lives are in such an optimum fucking mess that it needs Peter the Saviour to send us out on the world on New Year’s Day, resurrected and directed? Because I’m here to tell you if that’s your aim, my old fruit, from bitter fucking experience it hasn’t worked!”

– Andrew Benson (Kenneth Branagh), Peter’s Friends (1992), written by Rita Rudner & Martin Bergmann
