Paul McDermott: You haven't ever disappointed me. I've only met you today and you've never disappointed me previous to me not meeting you.

At a comedy gala in London, to celebrate the 60th birthday of Prince Charles, Diana will leap up, reveal she's not dead, Charles has been Punked.


06. Why do you care anymore? Let others take care of themselves. Focus on YOU. What happened to the woman on a mission? Where has she gone? Bring her back.
