Alton: You could just admit that I’m right for once. [Sidney groans, refusing to admit such a thing] Sidney: But I don’t want to retire.

Alton: You do, you just don’t want to get old. Sidney: Pfft. Alton: It’s inevitable sweet-.. saggycheeks.

[Sidney lets out a hoarse laugh, though it’s soon followed by an uncharacteristic sob] Alton: I was kidding! You’re not-… Sidney: [sobs] I don’t want to get old and tired-.. or saggy.

Alton: Hey, at least we’re doing it together. Sidney: [sniffles] I guess. Alton: Why don’t you work part-time for a while instead? You’d get used to it-.. and you’d get to see the kids more often.

[Sidney mumbles noncommittally] Alton: Let’s not miss anything this time around. Sidney: God-.. I’m doing the same thing I did with them, aren’t I?

Alton: Half the fun of getting old is learning from all the mistakes we’ve made. Sidney: [snort laughs] Shut up. Oscar: Hey, ma! I need-…

Oscar: Have you been crying..? Sidney: Aha, nope! Oscar: Uh-huh, what’s the matter?

Sidney: [strangled sob] I’m just so happy for you, honey. Oscar: That’s it, huh? Sidney: Oh, it’s nothing important-.. work stuff.

Oscar: Hm, maybe it’s about time you retir-… Sidney: I’m going to reduce my hours. Oscar: Really?

Sidney: [sighs] Yeah. Oscar: Awh.. I know you don’t want to, but it’s perfect timing. Sidney: Why, do you need another babysitter?

Oscar: [laughs] No, I could do with some help though. Sidney: Ohh, you found somewhere? Oscar: Yep! We need to get cracking.

Alton: We do? Oscar: Nu-uh, not you. You can’t be trusted with secrets. Alton: Psh, at least I can grill a mean steak.. let’s eat!

Sidney: Aspen’s a vegetarian… Alton: Well, I made some potato salad n’ stuff. Oscar: [snickers] It’s a good job I brought plenty of dessert.
