“You look older.”“Yes, well. The passage of time tends to do that to a person.”

“You do not mean that, my sweet. I know you are lying.” Yes. Maybe. Crap! I don’t…“No".”

“Do you want me, too?Yes. And no.I'll take that. For now.”

“Listen, nothing's better than being useful. Tell me how, at the present moment, I can be most of of use. I know it's not for you to decide that, but I'm only asking for your opinion.

Yes, really, you have suggested quite a new path. Tell me, is it the greatest?""It's very great, my dear boy, very great, but it's not the greatest.
