When John tells Becky that the girl who sits several seats away is pretty, Becky seems to be a little jealous....


John: She's really pretty, isn't she? Her skin looks so baby smooth!
Becky: Well, it's just that she puts lots of make-up on her face. Actually, natural beauty comes from within.
John: Ah, I can smell jealousy in the air!
Becky: She has nothing that deserves my jealousy. I don't have to put things on my face and I still look pretty. Don't you think so?
John: Yeah, right! But what did you put on your face last night, those little greenish things?
Becky: They're cucumbers. They're natural skin soothers, natural healers of the skin. Haven't you heard them say on TV that...erh...they soften the skin, wipe out the roughness, counter irritation, and build strength and resilience?
John: Yeah, yeah, yeah! They wipe out tight, tired feelings and remove lines and age signs. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! See I can even recite it.
Becky: That's right! You've learned a lot, haven't you?

Storyline: John finds his razor burn irritating. So, he asks James for some advice.... .

Jenny: Oh, what happened to your face, John? It looks like a heat rash.
John: It's a razor burn. I cut myself when I shaved this morning. The burns and cuts are really irritating.
Jenny: I know how you feel. Maybe you shouldn't have grown a long, long beard.
John: Well, I thought it would be fun and would make me look more mature and sophisticated.
Jenny: Yeah, my Mature man!
John: Any advice?
Jenny: Maybe you could shave in the shower. The steam really helps soften your beard and moustache.
John: Hm, sounds like a good idea.
Jenny: And you should avoid pressing too hard or tugging on your skin while shaving.
John: I guess I've been stretching it too often when I shave.
Jenny: Hm. I would also suggest you try this cream I have. Use it on the affected area. It really helps moisturize your skin and lessen irritations.

John has athlete's foot. His girlfriend Jenny recommends he use a cream to knock out the bacteria on his foot.


John: My toes feel very itchy. It's really irritating. I don't know what's happening.
Jenny: Let me take a look. Ah-huh, I think you have athlete's foot.
John: What are you talking about? I'm not an athlete!
Jenny: Come on, John, stop joking. You'd better take care of it before it gets worse. Imagine you have pus gushing out and rashes all over your legs....
John: Stop it, "Dr." Jenny.
Jenny: OK, OK. I guess I've got some cream for it. It really fixes skin in trouble. It's really a help for irritations and blemishes.
John: Is it this one?
Jenny: Not really. That one is for heat burns.
John: Have you had athlete's foot before?
Jenny: Yeah. It was a very bad experience. You know, if you don't keep your feet dry and clean, the fungus will grow and spread out quickly.
John: So my case isn't that bad, huh?
Jenny: You're lucky. Yeah, here it is. Now apply it to the affected areas. This cream is very effective in clearing out bacteria and stopping inflammation from developing.

At night, as Mac is making the bed, Liz tells him that Connie is going to have plastic surgery. Mac is surprised and doesn't seem to like Liz to do the same. However, Liz, influenced by Connie, has become increasingly self-conscious about age signs in her face....


Liz: (In the bedroom. Mac is making the bed for sleep.) Mac, you know what? Connie's going to get a face lift.
Mac: Oh?
Liz: She even said she'd get the rest done, too!
Mac: The rest?
Liz: Yeah! Mac, if my breasts were saggy, would you still love me?
Mac: What?
Liz: Answer my question, please!
Mac: What a silly question! Love has nothing to do with breasts being large or small, or being firm or saggy.
Liz: I'm just asking. You don't have to be impatient.
Mac: And Connie. She's crazy! No one can sustain youth forever.
Liz: Yeah. That's what I told her. (Liz goes to the bathroom and locks herself in it. She looks into the mirror and starts murmuring to herself.) Oh, I think I'm getting old. The forehead is wrinkled, the eyes are puffy, the sacks under the eyes are dark, and the skin is no longer as resilient as it was. Why! Age has set in! Maybe I also need a lift. Maybe, I need a new life! Oh, I really miss the good old days. At that time, my skin really felt so baby smooth!

Mac: Liz. what're you murmuring about? It's getting late. You should've been in bed minutes ago....

In her mid-forties, Connie is becoming more and more concerned about wrinkles in her face. She wants to have plastic surgery to wipe out tired feelings. Her friend, Liz, on the other hand, is kind of reserved about it....


Connie: Do you know anyone who's had plastic surgery?
Liz: You mean like a breast enlargement? I don't think that's really necessary. That's not the way a woman should stay attractive.
Connie: Why not? Why can't we go back to the way things were?
Liz: Because! I don't know! But, Connie, you wouldn't do that, would you?
Connie: Darned right I would!
Liz: Maybe make-up would be enough?
Connie: Come on, Liz. Be open-minded! Look at my eyes! They're puffy. And my eyebags, they're dark and loose and full of lines and circles. I really hope surgery can wipe out the tired feelings.
Liz: But what would other people think?
Connie: I don't care what other people think. I'm ready for a lift.

Julie is very upset about her oily skin. So she asks Mary for advice....


Julie: Hi, Mary, I know you're an expert in skincare.
Mary: Well, I wouldn't say that, but I do know something. So how can I help you?
Julie: I think I have an oily skin and there're always small bumps here and there on my face. How can I get rid of them? They're really irritating!
Mary: Well, I would suggest that you wash your face often. Every night you should rinse your face with lukewarm water, then pat it dry with a clean towel. Make sure you don't rub it dry. Then you apply this cream to your face.
Julie: Oh, this cream?
Mary: Yeah. It's pretty effective in wiping out poreclogging dirt and oil. It rids your face of dead cells and helps stimulate circulation.
Julie: Wow!
Mary: Oh, just use a small amount on the oily areas. Also, don't rub it hard. Just dab it lightly.
Julie: I'll keep that in mind!
Mary: Of course. Also, I would suggest you get a facial every four to six weeks for a deep cleaning.

Do you know what girls think about? The girl in the dialogue tells you what she thinks about....


Julie: Her dress looks funny.
Daniel: I wouldn't say that. It looks fine to me.
Julie: Are you kidding. She's behind the times. That style went out last year.
Daniel: Oh, come on, as long as it looks good on her.
Julie: Wow, you're really as out-dated as she is.
Daniel: You're darn right. I'm out of style. So what? What's the point of keeping yourself in style?
Julie: No wonder you never buy me a new dress.

Julie is very upset about her oily skin. So she asks Mary for advice....


Connie: Look at this catalog, John. The ski parka is on sale.
John: What's on your mind? You have one already.
Connie: But I bought it a long time ago.
John: Yeah right! One year is long!?
Connie: You don't understand! This was last year's style.
John: I think it still looks perfect even though it has gone out this year.
Connie: That's because you're not a woman.
