It's all.. saggy. And with that limp.. I know the Sick when I see it. <br /> Frank: I'm not ill (confusion at the word ill), this is just what happens when you get old.* <br /> Luna: What's old? <br /> Frank: My dear girl, I've been on this earth for over seventy years. I've been around since before <br /> you were born; heck, I've been around since before this city died. <br /> Luna (pauses, then insistently): What. Is. Old. <br /> Frank: The body decays as time takes its toll. I've watched everything and everyone around me <br /> fall apart for years; I suppose it's only fitting my body should do the same. <br /> Luna: WHAT IS OLD?! <br /> Madeleine: Shhhh honey-child. He's just a silly man, don't pay him any mind. <br /> Dawn (to Frank): Alright, I guess you can join us. But just one Twinkie. <br /> Socrates: I guess that's all Madeleine can hope for. <br /> Dawn: You're pretty frank for a crazy man. All that"I'm dying, woe is me." You sound like <br /> Socrates here. <br /> Frank: That's just the way things are now. Gotta face it like it is. (Bites into his Twinkie to let the <br /> moment linger.) Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm having the time of my life. <br /> Socrates: With most your life behind you, you can tell. <br /> Frank: At least I have a life,prick. (4wkwardpause, then laughing hysterically to himself.) Why <br /> would I say that? <br /> Dawn: He can't walk,you know. I told you that. It's kind of his thing. (Pause). <br /> Frank (searching, to Dawn): Where are your parents? <br /> (All three turn to Madeleine. Madeleine looks to Dawn.) <br /> Dawn: We don't know. <br /> Madeleine: They're dead. <br /> Dawn: You don't know that. We never- <br />
