I mean it's just ridiculous... Rupert: Oh, easy for you to say, Alex... You've still basically got your youth... You can't imagine what a development like this coming on the market might mean to someone of my age... I've got a totally different perspective... What 'til you've reached the other end of your working life like me and you're wrinklied and your hair is thinning and going white... You see you don't appreciate what you've got until you're faced with its loss... Alex: What, your automatic cushy status as a "grey hair" at client meetings who doesn't have to do any work? Rupert: Quite... And if I stayed old-looking everyone would think I was too poor to afford the treatment... Eek! Hell! Blooming research should be banned.
