Ancienne regime... France. I mean, I love it as a country, it's a very nice place, but you... it is impossible to speak French of a quality that will be suitable to the French. I should just say ancient regime.

Three, Napoleon makes everything complicated... and four, I forgot four.

Rhubarbs, silk, and something else... tea!

Old ideas, old culture, and old...

Dear alcohol, oh, that was... significant. It's spinning like a disco ball.

From back: Transitions lenses?

John: Transitions lenses.
