The review
Kids who like cars will ask to run this again. Walter Booth, 1906, sends one up a building and around the moon. It leaves the road. A trick in Méliès's manner, made in Britain. A child can watch it. The police are the ones left below.
Once is the right number. The joke is a car that will not stay on the street, with the law left on the ground. I would not use it to talk about real driving. There is no errand, only the stunt.

Live Historic number 19. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Buddy
31 instead of 19
Buddy is still a comedy film, and it scores 31 instead of 19. What you gain is household: The word friend is the bait.
