Inner beauty
What makes a person beautiful?
Is it what’s on the outside, or something else?

(Some of the Sunshine Singers are relaxing at Steve and Agus’s apartment.)
steve: I’m sorry I wasn’t there to watch all of you dancing.
Angus:it was pretty funny.
Steve:so you’re decided ont to do funky dancing?
Libeck: yes, I’m sorry to say.
Angus: yeah, it’s too bad. Dancing can really improve a show, and our shows need to be improved.
Christina: well, we can still improve them, beginning with the way we look.
Angus: The way we look? What does that have to do with anything?
Christina: Are you serious? It’s very important in show business!
Angus: Not if you have real talent, it isn’t.
Christina: Angus, have you forgotten what you just said? You know we need to improve our performances.
Angus: Yes, we need to improve our performances. That’s quite different from changing our appearance.
Steve: Angus may have a point, Christina.
Christinaa: Uh, didn’tyou say uou were going to make some tea and snacks, Steve?
Steve: In other words, mind my own business, huh? OK. I’ll be in the kitchen if you need me .(leaves)
Christina: Seriously, Angus. What’s wrong with looking good onstage?
Angus: Nothing. And we do look good. At least,I feel comfortable with the way I look.
Christina: Yeah, you fine.but I wish I looked better.
Libeck: I do ,too.
Angus: do you mean you wish christian looked better? Or that you looked better?
Libeck: Me ,of course.
Angus: Oh, you guys are too insecure. Don’t worry about the way you look onstage.
Libeck: Don’t worry about it?
Christina: Yeah. What’s that supposed to mean?
