Electro's dialogue by Get The Wet Look
Hello Vince.
I decided that my son needs to get a hair cut today.
Just look at this mess. Have you ever seen a young man with hair like this before?
From the back I cannot tell if he is a girl or a boy.
Well, I've had enough of it.
Now, get in that chair! You are going to get that hair cut and I do not want to hear any arguements.
I said, Get in that chair and do not get out of it till we are done here.
Vince. He is overdue for this hair cut. I want you to make him look like a man.
All this long hair has got to go.
Now, stop squirming and take this like a man.
I want the sides tapered short off the ears. No kid of mine is wearing his hair over the ears.
Cut the sideburns to the middle of the ear.
Taper the back nice and short. I want to see stubble at the nape.
Shave a nice high arch around the ears and down behind the ear and neck line. I don't want any hair to touch those ears.
And it's about time he starts looking like a man and not a boy. This center parted hairstyle has got to go.
It's time he wore it combed over to the side like a man. So be sure you part it on the left side with a neat straight side part. Cut the bangs so they do not extend beyond the eye browes.
Finally, finish it slicked down with Hair Tonic.
