Nick: Well, you could talk to the beautiful girl and she could be really stuck up and have a bad attitude, but the not-so-pretty girl could have a great personality. I'd have to see what their personalities were like first
AJ: I would go for the interesting but not-so-beautiful girl, 'cos at least you could have a decent conversation. Beauty isn't only on the outside. If she's got a good personality and she's fun to hang out with, that's better than a girl who looks good but is dumb
Howie: Oh wwo! Hmmm... I'm gonna be more interested in the one with the better personality. I don't think there's any such thing as a truly ugly person. It's a combination of different things, and if I couldn't find someone with the right combination, maybe I'd just talk to myself!

There's a girl you really want to ask out. The thing is, youre mates tell you she's trouble and only likes you 'cos you're famous. What do you do?

Brian: I'd have to find out for myself, unless it was warned by my best friend or someone who'd known the girl for a long time. If that was the case, maybe I wouldn't waste my time. But if I was a little sceptical about the situtation and intrigues by her anyway, I might just go ahead, because in this business you hear a lot of rumours and double talk. You've got to find out a lot of things for yourself
Nick: Hmmm... Actually, I trust other people's opinions on how they feel about certain people. If I met someone I really liked but my friends said they knew something for a fact, I'd listen to them
