Mitch Robbins (Billy Crystal) adressing his son''s class in City Slickers (1991):''Value this time in your life , kids, because this is the time in your life when you still have your choices. It goes by so fast. When you''re a teenager , you think you can do anything and you do . Your twenties are a blur. Thirty, you raise your family , you make a little money and you think to yourself: What happened to my twenties? Forties, you grow a little pot belly , you grow another chin. The music starts to get too loud. One of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother. Fifties, you have a minor surgery. You''ll call-it ''a procedure'' but it''s a surgery. Sixties, you''ll have a major surgery. The music is still loud but it doesn''t matter because you can''t hear it anyway. Seventies, you and the wife retire to Fort Lauderdale, start eating dinner at two o''clock in the afternoon . You have lunch around ten , breakfast the night before. Spend most of your time wandering around malls, looking for the ultimate soft yogourt and muttering: How come the kids don''t call? The eighties, you have a major stroke . You end up blabbering to some Jamaican nurse that your wife can''t stand and that you call mama. Any questions?''
