A prompt is a cue

Sometimes if I hear an aeroplane I book a holiday.

If I hear an ambulance I cancel my next day's plans.

You know those few seconds before someone says

Can I tell you something?

I don't want this information.

I want the world to be how it used to be.

Let me have a wash before you say what you're about to say.

Let me have a shave. 

Let me take up running

I'm going to jog to the next village and back again

it's something I've always been meaning to do.

Bad things are happening which is excellent

for the people who hate us.

Everyone looks good in candelight.

When the final episode finishes all the characters

carry on with their lives.
