Catherine: Why can't you bear me getting old?
Ben: Women aren't allowed to get old. I mean, of course you're allowed, but it's not mannerly. It's somehow not appropriate. Old women interfere with my sense of myself.
Catherine: And what about old men?
Ben: Ah, men don't matter. Can't stand them. It's never about men.
Catherine: You're wrong, as usual. It's all about men, always has been, we're not even allowed to grow old without your disdain.
