    "almost certainly I'll go before you go, so I won't have to miss you". What a beautiful, generous thing to say.

    I have snot on my keyboard every time I watch this. Maurice is the typical realist with hopes of magic. He is magic and how can he think that this can end? I'm shattered, live your life.
