To catch a thief III

Robie: Danielle, you are just a girl. She is a woman.
Danielle: Why do you want to buy an old car if you can get a new one cheaper? It will run better and last longer.
Frances: Are you sure you were talking about water skis? From where I sat it looked as though you were conjugating some irregular verbs.
Robie: Say something nice to her, Danielle.
Danielle: She looks a lot older up close.
[Robie whimpers]
Frances: To a mere child, anything over twenty might seem old.
