Added DiffLines:
* HollywoodPudgy: Big Edie needles her daughter for getting fat, a sentiment that Little Edie sadly agrees with. She weighs herself and is disappointed with a result of 145 -- a perfectly healthy weight for a woman of her height, but far from the physique she had as a dancer and model.
