Alice approaches Noriko who is sitting at her desk. Alice asks, "I'm dating an unattractive man. What should I do?"

Noriko replies, "Every man is ugly until a woman fixes him up. Think of it as a project."

Alice stands with a clipboard in hand as she lists her unattractive man's faults, who sits before her, obviously balding. She says, "Next, lose the combover, or at least stay out of the wind."
