Todd: It looks like a very English fruit.
Lois: But definitely apples.
Todd: Or strawberries?
Lois: Strawberries, oh yeah. Lots of strawberries and tomatoes but maybe they're a vegetable some people say fruit. Some people say vegetable. But lots of tomatoes. And I'm sure lots of other things but I just know about apples.
Todd: What's your favorite fruit?
Lois: My favorite fruit.. I really like pineapples and I also like strawberries. Strawberries and cream. It's one of my favorite desserts.
