Transcript:

Mom: What on earth are you doing looking at $20,000 cars, Cathy?! Cathy: That's what new cars cost, Mom. A basic car with the basic stuff is $20,000. Mom: Don't be ridiculous! That's more than our first house cost! Cathy: Mother, wake up! Gym shoes cost $100! Panyhouse cost $9! Lipstick costs $15! Cars cost $20,000, and more to park it at the restaurant than it used to cost to eat dinner! Saleswoman: Two iced teas: $5.50. Mom: I either need to get out more or lock myself in the house once and for all and be done with it.
