We try not to use Amazon if we can help it, but they had something that![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
durham_rambler wanted, and when he bought it, they offered him free postage and a trial month of Amazon Prime. Which we used, of course, to watch Good Omens.
What I thought of it is complicated, so I won't go into that here. Instead, here's a question. In the final episode, the (very junior) angel Muriel discovers books. Did I really hear them say something like "Books. Like people, only portable."
It's such a great line, I've been trying to track down the exact wording, and authorship (can I assume script is by Neil Gaiman unless otherwise stated?) but without success. Ask a search engine about 'books people portable' and it will offer to sell you books. Add the information that this is a quotation from Good Omens, and it will try to sell you books like Good Omens. As if. I found a whole compilation of clips of Muriel being adorable, but it doesn't include this line. I'd think I dreamed it, but it's too good.
The internet has a massive amound of information about Good Omens, but I have just dragged myself out of that rabbit hole, and I'm not going to risk going in again. So if anyone knows the answer, please tell!
