[speaker001:] They are a nice middle-aged couple, just like us.
[speaker002:] If they are just like us, they are not middle-aged.
[speaker001:] Of course they are.
[speaker002:] Middle-aged means in the middle, Ethel, middle of life. People don't live to a hundred and fifty.
[speaker001:] Oh, we are the part on the edge of middle. That's all.
[speaker002:] Oh, you know, we are not middle-aged. You're old, and I'm aging.
[speaker001:] Oh, fool! You're nearly seventy and I'm in the low sixties. Would you like to spend the rest of the afternoon squabbling about this?
[speaker002:] I can if you like.
