But in a sexy way, of course.

How would you see a difference with that much clothing on?

At your age just exercise for the health of it. I go to the gym 5 days a week, not for weight loss but because it’s good for me

Ya stepped in it again, Earl!

He should say, “The mirror doesn’t do you ustice”.

Earl can smell the difference.

I went on a fourteen day diet and lost two weeks.

What’s the scales read?

The mirror making you look big.

Not quite a compliment she would appreciate, Earl!

Every answer like that makes you a lot doghousier, Earl!

After she smacks him for the sweatier comment, Earl will say “You’re also crankier”.

“All these exercises”? She’s been at it for what, two days? Frankly, I’d tell to not even think about a visible change for two months minimum. But the dude from Florida is right — Do it for your health, not to change how you look.Of course, there’s no joke in that, so…

Be careful, Earl!

Once again Earl, you’re bedgum if you answer and you’re dadgum if you don’t.

It makes her skin is glisten.

Sorry Opal, sadly, at our age, the only thing that works is calorie restriction. Exercise benefits your heart, lungs and muscles (and spirit), but losing weight? Not enough to do much that shows in the mirror.

Not the right answer.

Earl, nod your head & say no.

"… just the way I love you."
