Oh, Auntie Ethel ... keep going for my favorite line: "I'll keep you alive until I've sucked the Marrow from your bones. And THEN, I'll bring you back and do it all over again". It's the way she says, "And THEN", combined with her funny face and slightly crossed eyes that gets me every time. Hur!
There is also something just right about the scene with Vlakith's painting in the creche. The brief pause when you admire your work is sublime, and then a youth comes around the corner and tries to scrub it off, ha ha ha.
