LIZ:  That must be Conrad Reeves.
KATE: Conrad Reeves, the actor?
      It's can't be.
      Let me have another look.
      I think you're right!
      Isn't he her third husband?
LIZ:  No. He must be her fourth or fifth.
KATE: Doesn't Karen Marsh look old!
LIZ:  She does, doesn't she!
      I read she's twenty-nine,but she must be at least forty.
KATE: I'm sure she is.

      I'm not more than twenty-nine myself.
