The script — as said out loud
Excuse me. Sorry. Are you two a couple by any chance? Sorry? Are you a couple? Yeah. Would you tell us the story of how you first met? How did we first meet? My aunt. She had a shop. We met in the shop and we've been married. We've been married 60 years. 60 years? Yeah. What was your first impression of him in the shop? I didn't like him because I thought he had big ears. What was your first impression of her? I liked her 60 years in. What's your favorite thing about her? She looks hot. You have to when you get old. I wouldn't swap him for anything now. I'm the luckiest girl I've ever trained. What's your favorite thing about him? He's so caring and thoughtful. You know? He'll bring me in a bunch of flowers. What's your advice to a couple who's just starting out? You know, when you meet Mr. Right, something there would tell you. And what are your names? Linda and Barry.
