I can't believe I've got to work on holiday... Well, 'least it's just as a hairdresser. Barber. Whatever. S'not like I wouldn't've ended up doin' it anyway.

Y'know, everybody's been runnin' about, tryin' to find gifts and dates for Valentine's Day. But, what's the point of havin' a great gift and gettin' a great date if you don't have great hair?

Waves, hmm. I want to look like a movie star from the forties. Romantic, glamorous... For Valentine's Day.

[numanstan]

Forties movie star... Yeah, I think I've got somethin' like that.

[A flurry of scissors and hairspray later: Congratulations, you are now Judy Garland.]

[touchmysquirrel]

[That's actually... really good. Sue pats her new hairstyle, impressed.]

You have done well, young dresser of hair.

[numanstan]

[He sighs with relief.] Glad you like it! I was a bit nervous 'bout it, to be honest. I'm never really comfortable takin' retro that far; the 60s is usually my stoppin' point. Anythin' after that, and I'm flyin' blind.

So, what're your plans for tomorrow?

[touchmysquirrel]

Oh, you know, spend the day with the husband, go out.

[She leans forward and whispers conspiratorially in his ear.]

Of course, that's just the starter. I'm spending the evening with my secret lover.

[numanstan]

[Well, he doesn't know how to reply to that, so he just smiles.] Well, have... fun? Hope they don't run into each other or somethin'.

[touchmysquirrel]

Oh, they won't. I'll make sure of that.

[With a smile, she leaves.]
