-ao set - Tremont House Hotel
room - hotel room
actor - Lance
Lance has ordered room service for dinner at the Tremont House and is sitting in the hotel room getting ready to eat. He picks up the soup ladle and notices his hand is shaking uncontrollably, then he notices he's grown a long white beard, he looks up and is alarmed to see an ELDERLY man staring back at himself in the mirror.

Luke from Mandarin Blueprint comes into the livingroom of my "ao" location. He sees Moses sitting in the armchair, with a long grey beard and wrinkles, obviously an ELDERLY man. Luke asks Moses if he is hungry and Moses replies that as a matter of fact, he is quite hungry. Luke puts a bowl and spoon beside Moses on the table and ladles in some hot, nourishing soup. Once Moses thanks him and begins eating, Luke asks him if he has ever thought about learning Chinese, and assuring him that no one is too ELDERLY to learn a new language.

In the ao- set, I see the VENERABLE Louis Armstrong (l- actor) helping Moses (耂) ladle (匕) out soup to the EDERLY and flashing his bright smile.

Lebron (l-) is in the bathroom (3rd tone) at Lifetime Fitness (-ao) wearing some old school Nike Air Maxes (者) and eating a huge bowl of cereal with a big ladle (匕) when a young boy walks up. I know you! You’re that old basketball player right? Lebron thinks, OLD…I’m not OLD. Yeah, you’re so OLD and ELDERLY that you’ll soon be playing with your son in the NBA! Lebron is quite angry!
