You have to retire to eat all the ice cream you want? Well. I've been retired since I was born.
[Feels around in the inner pocket of his leather jacket.] Here we are. [He pulls out a beaten-up, dog-eared card with a complicated series of letterpressed circles and lines, almost like an astrological chart, and offers it to her.] Pleasure to meet you, Janie Louise Taylor. I'm the Doctor.
I got so busy for a while that I did not have ice cream. I just worked, slept, and worked. I love ice cream... and when I quit, I decided that I could eat as much as I wanted. Work will go on without me. Retirement means different things to different people, I suppose.
[She accepts the card, and looks at it for a long moment] It's nice to meet you, 'The Doctor'. Are you actually a doctor of something, or is it your name? Is this a star chart? I don't think I recognize it.
