Previous IQs: Did your wife keep a collection of knicknacks on the mantelpiece about which you would tell stories to your kids every night? - Samuel Clemens, as I learned on a tour of his house in Hartford, Conn. He would go from left to right, working each object into the story, and when he got to the end, it was bedtime for the kids. His wife would put out new things now and then so that he could improvise anew. Did you play a man who had a (fake) younger brother named Prince Ruprecht? - Yes, Michael Caine in _Dirty Rotten Scoundrels_. Did you announce that you had no quarrel with the Vietcong? - Cassius Clay AKA Muhammad Ali. DQs: Born north of the Mason-Dixon Line? Famous for a single incident? IQs: Were you a Tory snob and schemer in Jeffrey Archer’s political thriller _First Among Equals_? Were you Lord Nelson’s #2 guy at Trafalgar? Were you tried but acquitted for your alleged role in JFK’s assassination? ---

I was in the crowd and Loki told us he could kill everyone on the planet in twenty minutes. Everybody ran for their lives, and I found myself trapped in a tower with an upwardly spiraling staircase. I climbed it until I saw Loki standing across from me on another landing. He smirked and vanished. He took time out from slaughtering millions just to fuck with me. Take that as a testimony to the power of Tom Hiddleston’s acting. I _hope_ it doesn’t mean something else.) ---
