The old woman said, "Your appearance reflects your heart. You look so sleazy, you're obviously not a good person. Pah!"
The old man said, "I'll carry it."
The old man's son pulled him back, saying, "Dad, what are you getting involved in?" He muttered under his breath, "Mom is not far away."
The old man shoved his mentally challenged son away, yelling, "What do you know?!"
