Well, he's old, and maybe he had loads of friends when he was younger: now
they're all getting old and shuffling off their mortal coils, and he's going
to be the only one left. I mean, *someone's* got to be the last. And much as
I love my friends,
I'd still like to be the one weeping at their funerals rather than the other
way about....

same building I wouldn't have known this.
