Kurt: Come with me.

Ellie: Where are you taking me?

Kurt: I’m giving you a makeover and you have no say about it.

Ellie: A makeover?! I don’t need a makeover.

Kurt: Yes, you do. I’m your best friend and this is an intervention. You’re so busy these days that you’ve let yourself go.

Ellie: I haven’t let myself go. I just don’t spend as much time as I used to primping and getting dolled up, that’s all.

Kurt: On that we agree. Your clothes are frumpy and your hairstyle is 10 years out-of-date. Come on. I’m taking you to get a new look. It’ll be a complete transformation.

Ellie: Okay, I admit that my appearance needs a little updating, but I’m not giving you free rein on what changes to make.

Kurt: I’m willing to let you have some say in that – if you’ll come quietly.

Ellie: And if I don’t?

Kurt: You’re getting this makeover one way or another, even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming!
