My God, Peter! That dog is fifteen years old now. Do you expect nothing to change in your house? Man, you're a home worshipper. However, I--I see no reason why-- (Lying.) you shouldn't reach a ripe old age. (Markedly, though feigning to treat the subject lightly.) Er-- Peter, I should like to make a compact with you... that whoever does go first--and you're quite likely to outlive me,--is to come back and let the other fellow know... and settle the question. Splendid test between old neighbours--real contribution to science. (PETER: Make a compact to--stuff and nonsense!) Don't be too sure of that.
