You’ve been productive with the years.
How cute. How pretty. They’re how old?
My wallet does not stuff like yours,
it’s really more of a billfold.

Where is – ? You didn/t bring the wife?
Always a looker. Oh, sorry,
I hadn’t heard. Well, on with life,
I always say. But enough about me.

You flew in just for 25?
I didn’t know you’d moved away.
But you and I are still alive
so count your blessings, as they say.

You heard about Nadine and Bill?
And seven children. It’s a shame.
And Doris, twenty years, then Phil
runs off with, you know, what’s-his-name.

How’s your sister and your brother?
Well, that’s family. What can you do?
Are you sure you want another?
Lemme call a cab for you.

Which hotel you staying at?
It’s right on my way, I’ll drive.
Hate to hear you saying that.
You and I are still alive!

Sure you’ll reach your room all right?
Walk you in? Of course I can
But then you’re on your own tonight—.
Tell me what’s the matter, man!

By the way, my name is James.
Nothing to forgive because
I am never good with names
myself. But who’d you think I was?
