were the two characters I felt sympathy with tonight.
Why should Ben be a godfather to a child whose parents don’t believe in God, when he doesn’t believe in God himself?
Why should Freddie pretend not to think Russ is an elderly creep?

Because 40ish is not ‘elderly’?
True, but in context, from a teenager’s perspective?
Oh yeah. Them. Larval forms of Satan
He is twice Freddie’s age and Freddie is under twenty. He’s elderly.
You know, I think when I was 18/19 I was aware that 40ish wasn’t elderly in any generally understood sense of the word.
It would have been if it had been fucking your same-age sister.
No, I truly don’t think I would have thought/said 'elderly ’ even so.
Not that whom Lily beds is up to Freddie anyway, of course…
It is if she drags it home and it infests the premises in which Freddie is obliged by law to live at the moment as part of the terms of his release on licence.
On top of which, there’s the effect of the atmosphere on Elizabeth.
So it’s not all bad news.
