Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be

Ray, if I’ve heard you say that once, I’ve heard it a thousand times.

Yeah, well, the old ones are the old ones…

Okay, I appreciate the times they are a changin’ but…

And you say I am corny… but… quoting Dylan…

Ha ha, yeah, you got me there.

Fancy a game of chess?

Don’t believe everything you’ve heard about me. Anyway, your game’s not so good.

Well… that’s life… at least that’s my life.

That was your life, Ray… Time’s up… time to come with me. Don’t worry. Everything’s gonna be alright…
