M: Christ. I miss the Cold War.

Maggie Smith as Miss Shepherd, in Alan Bennett’s The Lady in the Van.
A Bennett 2: I meant the kind of towels my mother used send me next door to the draper’s and babies’ knitwear shop for when I was a boy; towels that came in plain brown-paper parcels; towels that could not be mentioned. And the reason I am mentioning them now is because I can see one such towel (probably an incontinence pad) drying by the electric ring inside the van. The stench is staggering.Miss Shepard: Can you smell a smell?
A Bennett: I can, yes.
Miss Shepard: It isn’t me. It’s that Greek restaurant. They do things on sticks.
