Todd: Lois, I noticed that you have a poster of David Beckham by your desk.
Lois: I do. I think that David Beckham is quite a handsome man. I also think that he is a very, very talented footballer, although his recent performance in Euro 2004 was maybe not quite what it should have been, he did miss two penalties 1 but, I think in the past he has been a very good role model for people in England and a very good footballer.
Todd: So what is it about David Beckham that everyone thinks is handsome?
Lois: Everything about him is perfect. He's got a lovely body, great hair, when he has hair, and then when he doesn't have hair, he has a great shaped head. The only thing I don't really like about his body is his tattoos 3. He's just had a new tattoo 2 on the back of his neck, and I think it is a cross with some Angels 4 wings on it, and I don't think that is very nice, but apart from that I would say that he is perfect.
Todd: Uh-huh! Well, what color are his eyes?
Lois: I have not idea what color his eyes are! Um, no! I'm guessing brown but, I don't know.
Todd: OK, and how tall is he?
Lois: How tall is he? Taller than me, but I don't know how tall he is either. No details, details. So do you think David Beckham is a better football player or a better model?
Lois: Whoa! Tricky 5! Um, possibly at the moment a better model, and maybe he should spend less time concentrating 6 on that and more time on his football.
Todd: Mm! Well, how old is he now?
Lois: I think he's about 29. Yeah, because his wife just turned 30 a couple of months ago, and he's one year younger, so he's 29.
Todd: Does he have any children?
Lois: He has two children. I don't know how old they are. One is called Brooklyn and the other one is called Romeo, not really sure where they got their names from, but yeah, two young children.
