#Person1#: They are a nice middle-aged couple, just like us. 
#Person2#: If they are just like us, they are not middle-aged. 
#Person1#: Of course they are. 
#Person2#: Middle-aged means in the middle, Ethel, middle of life. People don't live to a hundred and fifty. 
#Person1#: Oh, we are the part on the edge of middle. That's all. 
#Person2#: Oh, you know, we are not middle-aged. You're old, and I'm aging. 
#Person1#: 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? 
#Person2#: I can if you like.
