Commenting before reading... it probably says something about me that your title is causing a song from the 1920's set musical "The Boyfriend" (of the same title) to run through my head.
I may be too old to run a mile Run a mile? Yes, run a mile But there's one thing I still do very well
I may be too old to climb a stile Climb a stile? Yes climb a stile But there's one thing at which I still excel
Although my hair is turning grey Yes, it's rather grey! I still believe it when I say Well, what do you say?
It's never too late to have a fling For Autumn is just as nice as Spring And it's never too late to fall in love Boop-a-Doop, Boop-a-Doop, Boop-a-Doop It's never too late to wink an eye I'll do it until the day I die And it's never too late to fall in love Boop-a-Doop, Boop-a-Doop, Boop-a-Doop
ETA - After Reading: Oh WOW. Like my favourite coffee. A little bitter at first, then sweet and scalding hot on the way down. Nice... (Also, I appear to have a thing for sex scenes where one of them comes in their pants, so you know, that was all to the good, too. :D)
It's never too late for fun and larks A jolly old flame has lots of sparks And it's never too late to fall in love Vo-de-o, Vo-de-o, Vo-de-o The modern buildings that you see Are often most alarming But I am sure that you'll agree A ruin can be charming It's never too late to be a beau Experience counts a lot, you know And it's never too late to fall in Never too late to fall in Never too late to fall in Love
That line from Daniel in particular just had me bouncing with glee -- the perfect combination of the brutally frank language and the pitch-perfect Daniel 'voice'. And of course he's casting it into a linguistic analysis . . . !
And now I'm hearing Ghost!Daniel saying "Don't be an ass, Jack."

“What’s that Mark Twain quote?”
Perfect voices! And perfectly volcanic!

Run a mile?
Yes, run a mile
But there's one thing I still do very well
I may be too old to climb a stile
Climb a stile? Yes climb a stile
But there's one thing at which I still excel

Yes, it's rather grey!
I still believe it when I say
Well, what do you say?
It's never too late to have a fling
For Autumn is just as nice as Spring
And it's never too late to fall in love
Boop-a-Doop, Boop-a-Doop, Boop-a-Doop
It's never too late to wink an eye
I'll do it until the day I die
And it's never too late to fall in love
Boop-a-Doop, Boop-a-Doop, Boop-a-Doop

Vo-de-o, Vo-de-o, Vo-de-o
The modern buildings that you see
Are often most alarming
But I am sure that you'll agree
A ruin can be charming
It's never too late to be a beau
Experience counts a lot, you know
And it's never too late to fall in
Never too late to fall in
Never too late to fall in
Love

Jack = charm
