I eat an avocado every day. It's amazing for your skin. It's one

Host: The morning sun spilled through the kitchen window, soft and golden, landing on a marble countertop filled with greens, fruits, and glass jars of seeds. The smell of fresh herbs and citrus drifted through the air — clean, elegant, and quietly alive. On the table sat a single avocado, sliced perfectly down the center, its pit gleaming like a polished stone.

Host: Jack stood at the stove, cooking eggs with clinical precision. He wore that quiet skepticism like an apron. Jeeny sat at the counter, spooning avocado onto toast, her eyes shining with something both simple and devout — the ritual of care turned into an art form.

Host: From the small television in the corner, Joan Collins’ voice filled the room — smooth, confident, timeless:

“I eat an avocado every day. It’s amazing for your skin. It’s one of the super-foods, and I’m just so into eating properly and healthily.” — Joan Collins

Host: Her words hung in the air like perfume — light, self-assured, but carrying the weight of discipline, of someone who’d lived long enough to know that vanity and vitality were often the same battle.

Jack: smirking faintly “An avocado a day keeps mortality at bay, huh?”

Jeeny: smiling softly “You joke, but there’s truth in it. Not just the fruit — the intention.”

Jack: raising an eyebrow “Intention?”

Jeeny: nodding “Yeah. Taking care of yourself on purpose. In a world that glorifies burnout, eating slowly, eating consciously — that’s rebellion.”

Jack: grinning “So, health as protest.”

Jeeny: laughing “Exactly. You think Joan Collins is just talking about skin? No. She’s talking about dignity.”

Jack: quietly “And control.”

Jeeny: nodding softly “Control, yes. The idea that aging doesn’t mean surrender — it means refinement.”

Host: The coffee machine hissed, and the room filled with the soft symphony of morning — clinking cutlery, buttered toast, the rhythmic slice of a knife through fruit. Outside, the city hummed, but in here, time slowed down.

Jack: leaning against the counter “You ever think about how food’s become moral? People talk about kale like it’s philosophy.”

Jeeny: smiling faintly “Because what we eat reflects what we believe. Fast food says, ‘I don’t have time to care.’ Health food says, ‘I do.’”

Jack: nodding slowly “And an avocado says, ‘I’ve made peace with my mirror.’”

Jeeny: laughing softly “Exactly. Joan’s not chasing youth — she’s cultivating it.”

Jack: quietly “That’s rare. Most people consume to fill emptiness. She consumes to sustain grace.”

Jeeny: smiling “It’s the difference between indulgence and appreciation.”

Host: The light shifted across the marble, the room glowing like a film set — everyday beauty caught in quiet motion. Jeeny poured water into two glasses, the lemon slices floating like captured suns.

Jeeny: softly “You know, the older I get, the more I understand that health isn’t vanity. It’s gratitude. The body is this incredible engine — all it asks for is respect.”

Jack: nodding “And respect’s not just in exercise or diet — it’s in how you inhabit yourself.”

Jeeny: smiling faintly “Exactly. You can’t radiate anything outward if you’re neglecting what’s inward.”

Jack: quietly “So the avocado isn’t just food — it’s a philosophy.”

Jeeny: grinning “Of course. Every choice is philosophy. Every meal is a declaration of what we believe we deserve.”

Jack: after a pause “And most people don’t believe they deserve much.”

Jeeny: softly “Which is why a woman like Joan Collins eats beautifully — she refuses to live like she’s unworthy.”

Host: The radio shifted to soft jazz, the room warming with sunlight and sound. The avocado halves sat gleaming on their plates — green gold against porcelain white.

Jack: smiling faintly “There’s something almost spiritual about this, you know. The ritual of eating right. The quiet defiance of it.”

Jeeny: nodding “Yeah. Taking time to nourish yourself in a world that profits from your neglect — that’s revolution.”

Jack: smiling softly “And beauty as a byproduct, not a goal.”

Jeeny: quietly “Exactly. You don’t chase beauty. You create conditions for it to exist naturally.”

Jack: looking at her thoughtfully “So maybe Joan Collins isn’t being vain — she’s being grateful. Every meal, every morning — gratitude disguised as glamour.”

Jeeny: smiling faintly “And gratitude always shows on the skin.”

Host: The camera moved closer, focusing on the table — two plates, one morning, an act of quiet reverence disguised as breakfast. Outside, the world rushed; inside, time remained deliberate, elegant, human.

Host: And through the hum of the jazz, Joan Collins’ words replayed — now not as lifestyle advice, but as something wiser, deeper, more defiant:

that the amazing thing
is not youth,
but care —
the grace to tend to oneself
without apology;

that nourishment
is not indulgence,
but self-respect;

that to eat consciously,
to live deliberately,
to celebrate the body
instead of punishing it,
is an act of quiet rebellion
against decay and distraction.

Host: The sunlight deepened,
turning the countertop gold.

Jack took a bite of toast, Jeeny smiled over her glass,
and for a moment —
with laughter, warmth, and simple food —
the morning felt
amazing,
beautifully, deliberately,
alive.
