We had all this stuff, you should be like this, and all this kind of some pretty nasty stuff could happen, but we weren't listened to.
And that's just how it was.
And so it makes for a very good humor.
I mean, I think that's one of the reasons the British have a kind of quite dry and sarcastic humor.
Get on with it.
Well, it's that line in, is it Crimes and Misdemeanors?
Is it that humor is tragedy plus time?
Yeah.
If it bends, it's funny.
If it breaks, it's not funny.
Tragedy plus time equals comedy.
Exactly.
So I think that's why, you know, you look at Monty Python and, you know, there'll be a lot of trauma there, those childhoods.
Just the British way, very zipped up and very, you know, Americans can see it.
You can see what we like as a nation.
Yeah, it stops you from healing.
And it was exactly that.
It felt very indulgent.
I'm not like that.
I'm a rock.
