MIKE: Hey Aron.
ARON: Hey Mike.
MIKE: What are you going to do this afternoon? Do you want to go downtown with me? I want to get some new jeans.
ARON: Sorry, I can't. I'm going to be busy.
MIKE: Oh? What are you going to be doing?
ARON: I'm going to the barber. I’ve got a date tomorrow night. I want to look good.
MIKE: What? What do you want to do that for? Your hair's not that long.
ARON: Oh, I'm not going to get it cut.
MIKE: I don't understand what you mean. What are you going to the barber for if you’re not going to get your hair cut?
ARON: Oh, I'm just going to get it trimmed. Tell me, what do you think about my sideburns? Are they too long?
MIKE: Maybe. It'll depend on how hair your looks when it's trimmed. Why don’t you just show the barber a picture of you with a hair style that you like? You can ask him to make it look like the photo.
ARON: That’s a good idea.
MIKE: Say, who are you going out with tomorrow?
ARON: Oh right. I forgot to tell you. I’m going to meet your sister.
MIKE: What?
