Slower in my 'old age'? Hardly.

Let's just say I was probably already knockin' back liquor when your great-great grandmomma wasn't even a glint in the milkman's eye.

[ a small smile ] I find that to be rather unlikely.

Would this face lie to you?

Apparently so, if you are to be the age that you claim.

Well, alright, so maybe I do tell the odd little white one here an' there. But I'm still older than Grandma.

I rather doubt that.

((sorry, don't mind my retag/reword. It was just bugging me))

Don't matter to me whether you believe me or not, sweetheart. But it's the truth.

Then, if I may, how old are you?

About a hundred-an'-eighty... I think. Stopped countin' somewhere around nineteen-thirty-seven.

I can understand why you would. Though, as flattering as your comment is, it isn't true.
