I'm older. There's some sort of seniority. As a matter of fact, the seniority ebbs as you get older.

Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple: love, sex, and food! Everything else - power, influence, strength - all those things can overpower what's important in life. But as long as you have food and shelter over your head, if the necessities are taken care of, what makes us happy on top of that is very simple.

But ze men - they are afraid of you."
