T-Rex: How come everything's so EXPENSIVE?
T-Rex: Seriously everyone! How come?
Dromiceiomimus: Everything's not THAT expensive, T-Rex.
T-Rex: I don't know, Dromiceiomimus, everything seems pretty expensive to me! It's becoming clear though that my sense of what a good deal is froze when I was about fourteen years old. Inflation since then causes my sense of being ripped off to increase daily!
Utahraptor: You're going to be a crotchety old man, my friend!
T-Rex: Oh, it's already begun!
T-Rex: Look at me, I'm complaining about the present by comparing it to how things were back in my day! I'm stereotypically OLD, Utahraptor.
Utahraptor: How does it feel?
T-Rex: Great, actually!
T-Rex: I feel like eating food carefully AND interacting with technology in ways that would be embarrassing to any younger people I'm with!
T-Rex: (Thereby fulfilling the stereotype as I understand it!)
