Scott: Can I steal a quote?
Jack: Do your own homework
Scott: All you did was Google them
Jack: Not my fault you can’t afford Internet
Louisa: Have one of mine, Scott
Scott: Thanks. Read it out?
Louisa: ''I am not young enough to know everything'' - Oscar Wilde
Jack: You gave him Oscar Wilde for nothing? Last week you wouldn’t swap grapes for a yo-yo.
Louisa: I don’t like yo-yos
Scott: What does it mean? I might get asked.
Louisa: He’s saying older people are more aware of their limitations
Jack: If they were truly aware, they wouldn’t be arrogant enough to mouth off about young people like that
Louisa: You mouth off about young people all the time
Jack: I am young. The quote protects me.
Louisa: Adults are obviously smarter than us. They have more experience.
Jack: They tell us they’re smarter, so we believe them...cos they told us they were smarter
Louisa: So you think we're smarter than adults?
Jack: I think only people who've been both are entitled to decide
Louisa: Exactly
Jack: But once people get old, they stay old. They’re never young again.
Louisa: Your point?
Jack: So they aren't impartial. They have a vested interest in saying older means smarter, and they know we can’t contradict them cos we aren't old yet. It’s a huge conspiracy.
