4- Her Skin Looks So Baby Smooth!
When Gui tells Julia that the girl who sits several seats away is pretty, Julia seems to be a little jealous....
Gui: She's really pretty, isn't she? Her skin looks so baby smooth! Julia: Well, it's just that she puts lots of make-up on her face. Actually, natural beauty comes from within .

But what did you put on your face last night, those little greenish things? Julia: They're cucumbers . They're natural skin soothers , natural healers of the skin. Haven't you heard them say on TV that...erh...they soften the skin, wipe out the roughness , counter irritation, and build strength and resilience ? Gui: Yeah, yeah, yeah! They wipe out tight, tired feelings and remove lines and age signs. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! See I can even recite it. Julia: That's right! You've learned a lot, haven't you?
