Take George's part first, then Elif's. George guesses fast and cheerfully; Elif gets flatter with each wrong guess. Copy her exaggerated "Second, third and fourth thoughts." and George's firm, kind "It really suits you."
- GeorgeHey, Elif. Wait, something's different. Did you get new glasses?
- ElifNo. Same glasses as always.
- GeorgeOkay. New jacket, then?
- ElifGeorge, I've had this jacket for three years.
- GeorgeI know something changed. Are you wearing makeup?
- ElifI cut off twenty centimeters of hair this morning. It's now above my ears.
- GeorgeThat's it. Sorry, the light in here is terrible. Turn around.
- ElifPlease be honest. I think I've made a huge mistake.
- GeorgeWhy? What happened?
- ElifI showed the stylist a photo. She made it much shorter than the photo.
- GeorgeSo you're having second thoughts?
- ElifSecond, third and fourth thoughts. I cried in the car.
- GeorgeOkay, honestly? It really suits you. It makes your face look brighter.
- ElifYou're only saying that because you're my brother.
- GeorgeI'm your brother. I'd tell you if it looked bad. Remember your perm in 2015?
- ElifPlease don't remind me. You called me a poodle for a month.
- GeorgeExactly. This is not a poodle. It looks like you did it on purpose.
- ElifHmm. Maybe it'll grow on me.
- GeorgeGive it a week. And tell Mom it was your idea.

Use it once in a real conversation before tomorrow. Out loud counts, even to yourself.
