Now I want custard creams.

I'm watching The Hollow Crown right now and in Richard II there are all these glorious moments of passionate, patriotic men being Profoundly Moved and kissing the Sand and Waves and Earth of England and the whole time I was watching it I was thinking "they are good at acting, because as silly as this is I'm kind of into it" while simultaneously thinking "CREAM CREAM STRAWBERRIES AND CREEEEEEAM EEEEEEENGLAAAAAAAND"

The only thing I could think of was:

"My dear, I could hardly keep still in my chair. I wanted to dash out of the house and leap in a taxi and say, "Take me to Charles's unhealthy pictures." Well, I went, but the gallery after luncheon was so full of absurd women in the sort of hats they should be made to eat, that I rested a little--I rested here with Cyril and Tom and these saucy boys. Then I came back at the unfashionable time of five o'clock, all agog, my dear; and what did I find? I found, my dear, a very naughty and very successful practical joke. It reminded me of dear Sebastian when he liked so much to dress up in false whiskers. It was charm again, my dear, simple, creamy English charm, playing tigers."

'And shall Jerusalem be builded here on England's green and pleasant land.' No! Leave it where it fucking is! It's in Jerusalem. It's weird, we sing it. You know if you've ever sung a hymn you don't pay attention to the stuff but it's saying, "And we're going to build it here…"It's all… What is it, Jerusalem 2? The sequel? Fucking leave it there, otherwise people will wake up in Jerusalem and they'll go, "What? Where? Where?"
