So, Katie, what's another situation going to be like?
Well, Ken, this time, George is 150 years old.

Ready for a workout?
I'm a 150 year-old man. So take it easy on me.
You can build muscle at any age.
Yeah, sure.
Your legs still have good muscle tone.
As a matter of fact, I was a college track star 130 years ago.
That just goes to show you are going to be a senior track star, too.
Well, then, let's get to work, Bruce.
Okay, Arnold.
Wait. Is that exercise too strenuous for me?
（strenuous = 非常に骨が折れる needing or using a lot of physical or mental effort or energy）
Don't think. Feel.

Oh, my back.

Oh, no.
I'm speechless again.
Me, too. Somebody has to say something here.
Oh.
Well, everyone, take it easy on us.
Yes, please.
Hey, you two, let's get to work.
Oh, no.

Oh, my aching body!
Dad, what's wrong?
I'm stiff all over. Ow! That young man was really tough on me.

I think he overdid it.
Yeah.

Yeah.

You too.

I also noticed that he is in very good spirits.
Me too. He's doing better than I ever imagined.
Stop that. He's doing better than us.
You can say that again.
And he is really sharp. He beat me in chess.
Again?
Yes. Three nights in a row now.
I'm so grateful for all your help and... zzzzz.
It's a .... oh(real) .... pleasure.
Yeah.

She has a very ladylike snore.
（ladylike = 淑女にふさわしい、しとやかな、上品な）
How true. You can say that again there.
I think when they wake up, they'll be in very good splits.

Well, they are doing better than I thought, than I imagined, because they can sleep so well, right?
Yes.
And that sleep ... that's important.

Okay. I challenge you to a game of horseshoes.
I accept the challenge. I'll put your walker in the trunk.
He only needs a cane now. You've come a long way, Dad.
I have. I'm lifting weights now. Look at my biceps.
（biceps = the muscle between your shoulder and elbow on the front of your arm that you use when you pull things toward you）
Whoa. Look at you! You're something else.

So strong!
Oh!

Speaking of biceps, hey, look at my biceps.

Hey, don't look at my biceps.
You've come a long way, Ken.
