off go room
this would never have happened if he
hadn't retired how'd you make that out
well he's got more energy now hasn't
he perhaps he just gone around to talk
about old times from what I heard it's
more like an action
replay can't you just forgive and forget
no you can't throw away 40 years of
marriage over one little thing Barbara's
right I mean he's only human he was
tempted and he fell it could happen to
anyone it could happen to me now Barbara
