ALEX
I should never have come back here...
GEORGE
Oh, don't talk such nonsense!
ALEX
I'll bow out now --
It's the decent thing to do.
GEORGE
Don't be absurd.
ALEX
I'm a disaster...
GEORGE
Oh, come, come!
ALEX
..It wouldn't last a week --
She'd be far better off with you.
GEORGE
You two have your lives before you.
ALEX
It would end in murder...
GEORGE
I'm too old for her --
It's high time I withdrew.
ALEX
Your place is here.
GEORGE
The jowls are dropping...
ALEX
It's the light.
GEORGE
..The paunch needs propping up --
She'd be far better off with you.
BOTH
Your words are generous and selfless,
But alas untrue --
She'd be far better off with you.
ALEX
You are steeped in wit and wisdom.
GEORGE
Well, I've learnt the odd thing...
ALEX
You could teach George Bernard Shaw
A thing or two!
GEORGE
I had a go...
ALEX
You've dined with Garbo...
GEORGE
Only twice.
ALEX
