Sally: Did you hear about Paula's mother?

Philip: No- what about her?

Sally: She's had a nose job.

Philip: A nose job? You mean, she had an operation, cosmetic surgery?

Sally: That's right. And to be honest, she needed it.

Philip: Well, that's not a very nice remark.

Sally: Oh, come on, Philip. You and I both know her nose was really big. Paula knew it too, and her mum, that's why she had the operation. And I bet she's a lot happier now, as well.

Philip: What do you mean?

Sally: Well, it's obvious, isn't it? A lot of people have cosmetic surgery done so that they'll feel better about themselves. And they're happy to spend the money, because something they really don't like about themselves can be changed. They're not trying to be filmstar look-alikes, you know.

Philip: Maybe- but to tell you the truth, I reckon it's a waste of money.

Sally: Well, maybe you do, but they don't. I'd have thought people have the right to do what they want with their own bodies- and their own money, if it comes to that.

Philip: Well, of course they do. On the other hand, I bet there are people all over the world who'd love to do it. They'd love to have a new nose or eyes or whatever, but they can't afford it.

Sally: Well, yes. That shouldn't stop people who can afford it, though.

Philip: Well, I just think it's wrong. I mean, it's such a western thing to do. All these rich people with too much money to spend ...

Sally: Hang on, hang on. Paula's mum saved up a long time, you know, she didn't just take the money out of the bank. She didn't have a holiday for a couple of years; she had to sell a few things- she's not rich.

Philip: Yeah, OK, sorry. Let's talk about something else.

Sally: OK. We're just going round in circles anyway.

Philip: Tell you what- why don't we go round and see her?

Sally: Who? Paula's mum? Why?

Philip: Well, the thing is, I've never seen the effects of cosmetic surgery.

Sally: Oh Philip, you're impossible.
