Ridiculously Simplified Synopsis edit
Quotes edit
-
“The British will not spend all day gawping at each other in the drizzle, however odd we may look. The entire cast of "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" could roll into Starbucks, with candy-colored cockatiels flying out of their hair, and -after a brief glance upwards- everyone would studiously go back to reading their papers, as if the door had merely been blown open by the wind. In a cramped, crowded nation, we know the essence of politeness is ignoring pretty much everyone around us.”
