Lois and Hal in “Ida's Dance”

Lois

[about Ida] She's lost her mind. She thinks she's back in her old village. I have to go up there.

Hal

Why?

Lois

Hal, she has one leg, she's demented, she could wander out on the freeway.

Hal

I thought we had agreed we'd take no extraordinary measures to prolong her life!
