Nomenclature

Roger, setting breakfast on the table:  We ought to have a name for ourselves.  We can't all be saints, you know.
Norman, thoughtfully: Angels?
Dicky, seriously: No, that's been done, and better.  We'd none of us look that good in hot pants.
Norman, suggestively: Roger might.
Roger, protestingly: Look, I only wore that dress because Simon said it was strategically important!
Dicky, impertinently: But did he say 'Simon Says' first?
Roger, truculently: I'm never cooking breakfast for you lot again, just see if I do.
Simon, calmly: That's fine.  You never leave any for us anyway.
Norman, conversationally: Also you talk with your mouth full.
Roger, hastily swallowing: I do not!
Simon, crushingly: You do.
Dicky, decisively: At any rate, Angels is out.  Pass the marmalade.
Roger, teasingly: What's the magic word?
Dicky, childishly: 'Simon Says.'
Roger, contrarily: He does not.  Dicky says, and that's not the same at all.
Simon, sweetly: Pass Dicky the marmalade, please.  That's a good boy.
Dicky, around a mouthful of toast: How about the Irregulars?
Roger, accusingly: Now who's talking with his mouth full?
Simon, amused: Three items.  One, Roger is right this time. 
Roger, interrupting: Hooray!
Simon, continuing: Two, I am not Sherlock Holmes, and three, this is not Baker Street.
Dicky, cheerfully: We're certainly irregular, though.
Norman, offensively: Roger more than most.
Roger, after a moment's silent glowering: Halos.
Simon, beaming warmly: That's it, my dear old cantaloupe!  The Saint and his Halos.
In unison, happily: That'll do!
Simon, after a pause:  Roger can still wear hot pants if he likes.

And it's hard to say (and I'm too lazy to log into my proper account right now) what the relative ages are, although I could definitely see Roger being younger than Simon and I don't think he'd be any older. (Monty Hayward might be slightly older.)
