I remember this one in particular, Peter Jones always had the great
one-liner, and I loved Kenneth's tantrums, its something that no one
does nowadays, no one really haggles over things, well they kinda do,
but for the most part they're too apologetic and too willing to
kowtow to Nicholas even though he's clearly wrong. but now, being
wrong or right is hardly a factor in this game considering that in
spite of Nicholas' claims, logic plays no role in this show.
