There is a bit missing in the clip. John was returning from an interview for a job, which he thought went really badly, that was when first met that girl. He got home, was told he had actually got the job, a moment of sheer joy, his first adult job. He was sent out to get a “Chinese feast”, on his way back he was beaten to a pulp, waking in a hospital bed.
Why is this so relevant? The BAFTAs, just like gaining that job, should have been a moment of huge joy, instead his moment has been ruined by feckless ignorant idiots who care more for themselves than they do him!
