Maggie would like Sean Connery washed, stripped and sent to her tent! And me? I wanted to bring home the wonderful dress from Act 2. It's a real opera dress, from a production of 'Marriage of Figaro'. I'd also negotiate for a day or two in the company of both a certain nice half-Italian man and a fine American baritone that I could mention!
