'Baby, you'll always be 16 to me.'


Whoa...does that mean he likes younger girls?

Why is everyone so hostile today? Must be something in the school lunch. (shrugs)

i dont think so i just think its like she said about him not seeing her for who she really is. if he cant get out of that mind frame then there is just no dealing with him

Every man likes young girls. Most wont admitit, but younger women are naturally more fertile and better looking. Why do you think rich celebrity men in their 40s and 50s such as Johnny Depo date young women in their 20s? Most guys couldn't get a younger woman but if they could and it wasn't socially taboo they would. He's just saying, "you'll always be young and vibrant to me."

The line was originally going to be "You'll always be a baby to me" but the producers thought that went a little too far.
