Mr. Griffin: Rob a candy store!

Despard: Excellent suggestion!

John Wellington Wells: Drug an entire village with a love potion!

Despard: Wrong operetta, but it will do. Anyone else?

Literally anyone in any conversation:

“Very much”

*syfled sob*

*room turns to see me, head in hands, weeping bitterly*

“For god’s sake what? Are you alright?

“He used to say ‘very much’”

So that when my grandchildren say: ‘Grandpa, have you ever cut anyone’s ear off?’ I shall be able to say ‘Yes, Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff’s.’

Yearly reminder that in 1605, Catholics legally couldn’t purchase gunpowder.

Furthermore, gunpowder could only be bought from the Tower of London, and every time gunpowder was bought from there it would be kept in a record. Now the records for all the surrounding years can be traced, yet the records for 1605 are mysteriously absent.
