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.
