Lee and Simon circle around the messy line between saying “no” (as self-respect) and staying relational, using condominum meetings, Portuguese/Italian slips, and a post office queue as lived examples of how “transactional” life can feel. They land on the idea that some exchanges (kindness, levity, basic decency) aren’t quid-pro-quo at all – and then veer into unfiltered joy at Olivia Colman’s acceptance speeches.
