On the lifetimes of men and women . . .
Sally: I don't know why, but the other day I thought of you dying. I thought about how awful it would be, and how empty my life would be once you were gone. I would be absolutely heartbroken, and I don't know how I'd go on without you. I can see why, sometimes, when one spouse dies, the other dies not long after.
Curtis: Yeah, it would be sad.
Sally: Do you think about that? About me dying, I mean?
Curtis: No, I don't need to think about it. I'll be dead first.
Sally: You don't know that.
Curtis: Sure I do. I'm stupid. I'll fall into a vat of acid long before you croak out.
