HENSLOWE
Mr. Fennyman, let me explain about the
{theater/writing/storytelling} business.
The natural condition is one of
insurmountable obstacles on the road
to imminent disaster.

FENNYMAN

HENSLOWE
Nothing. Strangely enough, it all
turns out well.

FENNYMAN
How?

HENSLOWE
I don’t know. It’s a mystery.

from Shakespeare in Love, by Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard
