As Time Goes By

I was watching 'As Time Goes By' yesterday. It's a comedy series on the ABC, about two people called Lionel and Jean, who were a couple way way back when the Korean war was on, and then Lionel went away to the war and she never heard from him again (due to the loss of his letter to her). Anyway, years later, they meet up again and to cut a very long series short, get married. And when this discussion takes place, they're both in their late 60's/early 70's.

Lionel and Jean are sitting down having some champagne and a discussion.
Lionel: Well, I can't say you're young and pretty.
Jean: No.
Lionel: But I think you're beautiful.
Jean: .......Have you been drinking those ales again?!
Lionel: No, no. You're beautiful, and it's got nothing to do with a few wrinkles or an extra pound or two
Jean: Or two!!!
Lionel: It's what you mean. It's who you are. I'm not doing very well, am I?
Jean: (smiling and taking his hand) Oh, that'll do very well. That will do very well indeed.
