Jupyter script with images for standalone

New to python created a very simple script but seem to be running into issues with images.
I want to take this script and create a standalone.
However when I did it originally without tkinter or imagetk the file would open and close immediately so I tried this.

You can see the error messages I get below the code.

I think you only need to call image.show() after image is opened if you want to show it.

from PIL import Image

while True:
    name = input("\nWhat is your name? ")

    print(f'\nNice to meet you {name}')

    age = input("\nHow old are you? ")
    age = int(age)
    if age >= 40:
        # Open the "old" image
        image = Image.open(r'old.jpg')
    else:
        # Open the "young" image
        image = Image.open(r'young.jpg')
    image.show()

Once that issue was fixed I was getting the following error:

I tried fixing it by storing the image:
