Diane Court:
You don't like old people, do you?
Lloyd Dobler:
Me? Sure I do.
Diane Court:
Come on.
Lloyd Dobler:
Except for one thing. I used to work at a smorgasbord and the old people would flock there and they love to eat. And they just jammed their mouths, you know, and they would just eat with their mouths open and, you know, it's just too much for me. I mean, you know, you get to be thinking about how short life is and how maybe everything has no meaning. Because, you wake up and you're frying burgers and you then you're like 60 and 70 and then, you know, you check out and, you know, what are you doing? And I just don't need to think about those kind of things. So, that - that's the reason I was - But, I'm not sure I'm right, about any of that.
Diane Court:
I think that's ageism and that's being prejudiced against people because they're old. Maybe their mouths don't work well as yours.
