[Jim, Rocky, and Sorel are walking on the pier. Rocky is still upset that he was told that he is too old to be an organ donor] Now that I'm out of a job, maybe I'll get into something really challenging.
Yeah? Like what?
I always wanted to be an "astro-nom-omer".
Naw, that's pronounced "a-stron-o-mer".
Oh, well. Same job, no matter what. Looking at stars and wondering if there are other types of life out there.
I got me a liver as good as any in the country!
Sorel wants to be an astronomer, Dad. Isn't that great?
I'd like to see that Dr. Bosco, whatever his name, I'd like to see his kidneys! I bet they ain't any better than mine! Some things improve with age!
I wonder if there's life out on those stars like Mars.
Mars is a planet, not a star.
My heart! My heart's been beating once a second for almost 70 years! You can't knock that!
[She points to flying sea gulls] Oh! Pelicans! Look, pelicans!
[Jim and Rocky look at each other bemusedly] Look, Dad! Pelicans!
