Personal Grooming 1 


Giorgio: I’ll pick you up tonight at 7:00, okay? 


Anna: You’d better make it 8:00. I need time to get ready. 


Giorgio: You just need to go home, take a shower, and throw on some clothes. How much time do you need? 


Anna: You have no idea what a woman has to do to look her best, do you? Not only do I have to bathe, I need to exfoliate and depilate. 


Giorgio: “Depilate”?! What’s that? 


Anna: That’s shaving and waxing to you. I have to shave and wax my legs, my armpits, and bikini area. 


Giorgio: Whoa! That’s way too much information. I didn’t need to know that. 


Anna: After that, I’ll need my nail clippers, nail file, and tweezers 2 to do my nails and my plucking. 


Giorgio: I don’t even want to know what you pluck. 


Anna: Just my eyebrows 3 and my... 


Giorgio: Stop! I don’t need to know the ins and outs of your personal grooming. Is all that really necessary? 


Anna: You are going to introduce me to your brother, aren’t you? Your very handsome brother? 


Giorgio: I was until I heard all that. I don’t know if I want my brother dating a woman who’s so high-maintenance. 


Anna: High-maintenance? High-maintenance?! Who are you calling high- maintenance? 


Giorgio: And high- strung!
