Transcript:

Dawn: Wouldn't it be cool if we could get our own apartment together, Liz? Elizabeth: Yeah! Totally! Trouble is, we'd hafta have jobs first. Dawn: True. Elizabeth: What do you wanna be when you grow up? Dawn: I dunno...what do you wanna be? Elizabeth: I dunno - I guess it sorta depends on what you mean by "grow up"! Mom, Dawn an' I were wondering...how old are you when you actually, you know, grow up? Elly: That's a good question, Liz. I thought I was grown up when I was 18. But I was pretty childish, compared to the way I felt when I was 20 and living away from home. Still - I probably never really "grew up" until I got married and had children and learned how to cope with a lot of responsibility. Mind you, when I think of it, I don't think I'll ever "grow up"!! Elizabeth: So...what do you wanna be when you've achieved physical maturity? Dawn: I dunno...what do you wanna be?
