BEAUTY IS ONLY SKIN DEEP

Mini-Dialogue: Tony sees his friend Rick.

Tony: Hey, Rick. How's it going?
Rick: Hi Tony. Not so good. My girlfriend is always unhappy with me. Nothing I do is ever good enough for her.
Tony: Have you tried counseling?
Rick: She won't go! She thinks everything's fine.
Tony: Well, then, I don't see any choice: You have to break up with her!
Rick: I can't! She's so good looking! I'll never get a woman like that again.
Tony: I disagree. It's better to have someone ugly on the outside and beautiful on the inside than vice versa.
Rick: You really think so?
Tony: Yes!  "Beauty is only skin deep."
Rick: Maybe so. I'll think about it.
