Derek is like that friendly neighbour you grew up with as a child. When I first came here, he was here. When I was gone for a year, he was still here when I came back.
Heck, he will propably still be here 100 years from now.

Derek’s the kind of neighbor who’s been here so long, he probably helped build the house next door with a hammer and a smile. 100 years from now, he’ll still be here, just with a walker instead of a lawnmower!
