The curious case of benjamin button (4)

This part was said by the old man who keeps telling benjamin Did I ever tell you, I was struck by lightning 7 times?

Did I ever tell you,
I was struck by lightning 7 times?

Once I was walking
the dog down the road.

( A silent moment ) ....
............
I'm blind in the one eye,
can't hardly hear.

I get twitches and shakes
out of nowhere,

I always lose my line of thought.

But you know what?

God keeps reminding me I'm lucky to be alive.

These were the final words said by the old man .. and he didn't appear again in the movie ..
