Darren and Karen prepare for the Dance.

Darren: Hello is anyone home.
Karen:   Oh good you’re here finally. What do you
               think of my hair.
Darren: I adore your hair. It’s so soft and golden.
Karen:   Yes but it’s a disaster. I tried a perm. That didn’t work
               I’ve had it cut and you didn’t even notice.
               I even had a little colour put in but I’m really not sure.
               What do you think of my makeup?
Darren:  I Love you face. Your eyes are stars from the sky
                Your lips are so perfect and attractive.

Karen:   I don’t know. I think I have too much eye shadow.
               I told the girl to go easy on the blue but would she listen? No
               Nobody listens these days. What about the lips stick?
               Do you think red or pink?
Darren:   I think you are gorgeous either way.

Karen:  Well what about this dress. Blue is my colour. What do you think?
              I just love the off the shoulder and the hip hugging shape.

Darren: I...I ...I
Karen: Do you think it makes my backside look big?
Darren:  No of course not.

Karen:  Well I suppose we better get going. I hope Alice is there
               she will just love my look. I worked so hard to get it right.
              She appreciates the trouble I go to.
              What are you staring at?

Darren:  The most beautiful girl in the world.
Karen:     Oh that’s sweet and true I’m sure. I just hope Daniel is
                 there tonight. I know how he has a thing for me.
                Don’t get jealous if I dance with him. It’s just dancing.

Darren:   I won’t.
