-Birdie with a yellow bill -Hopped upon my windowsill

-Hopped upon my windowsill -Cocked his shiny eye and said:

-Cocked his shiny eye and said: -"Ain't you ashamed, you sleepyhead?"

-"Ain't you ashamed, you sleepyhead?" [BOTH LAUGHlNG] -l'll be the boy and l'll catch you.

-No, Mr. Agee, you stay away. -Not now.

-No, Mr. Agee. l love your scent.

lt's like everlasting youth. [WElNSTElN YELLlNG

AND LAUGHlNG] AGEE: l'm going to scream

to the whole world. Agee, get away from my wife. [ALL YELLlNG AND LAUGHlNG] Charge. [SlNGlNG]

Not last night, but the night before Twenty-four robbers

Came knocking at my door As I ran out, they ran in May l have your dance? Sir, l don't wish to appear ungrateful. . . . ..but why didn't you come too? l found out long, long time ago. . . . .. l wanted to be my own true age... . ..and try and keep a young mind. Your wish has come true. You're children again. -You've got your whole life before you.

-But my life was hard. l had a swell life. l could do 60 years standing on my head. l'm cold. Where are we going to spend the night?

Who's gonna take care of us? WElNSTElN:

No problem for us. We'll just knock

on our son's door and say: "Let us in, Murray. We're your parents." Now, wait a minute. Let's think this over. l mean,

we're talking about being young again. We're talking about sex. But Jack Dempsey isn't here.

l'll never meet him. My ring. My wedding ring. lt fell off. [AGEE GASPS] Oh, please.

l didn't ask to be young again. All l wanted to do is dance. l can be old and dance. l'm not going to school again. l remember the night

when my father died. We laid him out

and sent all the children outside. l saw Halley's comet fly over. l don't wanna lose all the people

that l loved again. l was too young to see Halley's comet. l was going to see it

when l was 80 years old. Well, that's only two birthdays away,

Mrs. Dempsey. Would you like to see it at 8 or 80? Thank you. Well, you can always go inside

and go back to bed. Maybe if you old folks

had a little of that magic still left in you. .. . ..you could wake up

back in your old nice bodies.. . . ..but with fresh young minds. Fresh young minds. Young minds. Fresh young minds. -Fresh young minds.

BLOOM:
Yeah. [SNORlNG] Harry, wait. AGEE: Wait a minute, wait a minute.

l like being young. Popsicle-head. [SPEAKS YlDDlSH] There are kids in the beds. -There are kids here.

-Kids, kids, kids. [CHUCKLlNG] Kids. Yeah. Yeah. What are you talking about? -There were kids in the beds.
