（单词翻译）

　　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 intervention1. 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 Your clothes are frumpy and your hairstyle is 10 years out-of-date.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 transformation2.
Ellie: Okay, I admit that my appearance needs a little updating, but I’m not giving you free rein3 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!
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
