1 Old Man: Good day, sir. I'm from an acrobatic troupe called Bodies in Motion. Would you care to see our performance on the morrow?
2 Isaac Newton: Perhaps. But aren't you a little old to be doing acrobatics?
3 Old Man: Oh, I retired from performing years ago, but I still do publicity for the company.
4 Old Man: After all, a Body in Motion tends to remain in Motion.
4 Isaac Newton: Hmmmm...
