Best quote from Episode 4, 'Appropriate Response'


John Deeds to Jo Mills (outside an event, explaining his over-the-top romantic tango dance with Lady Rochester while Jo - his date - and Lady Rochester's husband, looked on): "What I was doing there, Jo, was chasing a myth,a myth of love, love will make me feel better, love will make me like myself a little bit more. It's romancing. It's getting there. It works because I'm there and she's there. In that brief moment, we go beyond everything in our ordinary lives. For that brief affair, I don't have a past, I don't have to sit on the bench listening to lies and excuses, I don't have to pretend I'm not alone or lonely for a hour or a night. I can pretend it's love and it is. With love for that moment is worth all the rejection you get and it's glorious. Am I overselling this?"
