Long Conversations
A:
Susan: (With a new dress on) Dad, do you notice anything?
Frank: Why, yes! I see my little baby grown up into quite a very sophisticated young lady.
Susan: (Feeling disappointed) Oh, no! (She starts sobbing.).
Frank: I've made over a million dollars in my life, but it'll take me at least three life-times
to understand just one teenage girl!
Susan: (Keeps crying).
Frank: Sue dear! What did I say?
Susan: Oh, it's not you, dad. It's Victor! He's always complaining that I'm overdressed
and too sophisticated for him!
Frank: Overdressed?
Susan: Yes! He says I'm always wearing swim suits I can't swim in...and ski clothes I
can't ski in...and when I wear mink he feels embarrassed about taking me to a
sandwich shop...and...Oh dad! (Sobbing) What's wrong with trying to look nice?
Frank: Oh nothing that a little poverty wouldn't solve! You mean you dress too old for
him?
Susan: Yes!
