Just say yes

Paul Child speaking to his wife, Julia:

Jule, you're 50 years old. . . .I got 10 years on you.
Most people we know are closing up shop.

But you've got an offer to go back to France
and to write another cookbook
and to make another season of the show.

Let's say yes to all of it,
say yes to everything for as long as we can.
Let's drop dead, someday, saying yes.

That'll be a life.
