”When I meet him my other friends won’t see me for a week.”
– Carl talking about meeting up with Peter
“If I’m not back in 20 minutes, send up a cappuccino and a mojito.”
– Peter to hotel staff as he entered Carl’s room
“When we were really firing on all cylinders and were together then it really felt like no one could touch us, and that nothing else mattered. As much as I try to deflect it, play it down and be English about it, there was a very powerful romance and beauty to our friendship. At the beginning it was pure and uncomplicated; there was a chemistry. Together we were a comple unit, in each other’s company quite different from how we were with other people. […] the fact is that if that dynamic between us hadn’t existed none of this would have happened, I wouldn’t be lamenting what I lost – what we both lost – I wouldn’t be writing it all down. When we are together and we can forget about bullshit, we become two old souls, kindered spirits in seclusion. “
