Sally's Salon: Beauty Secrets/Bahamas

This is the second chapter of Sally's Salon: Beauty Secrets. It's such a tragic moment when Julio disappeared by a plane.

## Level 2-1 - Two Hearts as One

* Roxie: ...so I said to her, just use the Aloe Vera shampoo, I guarantee you that it'll help. You know it does.
* Roxie: How long have you been using it for now, two years, right? Everybody who uses it, thanks me.
* Roxie: They all say: 'Thank you, Roxie, for selling me that Aloe Vera shampoo.'
* Roxie: It's just natural. Don't put anything into your hair that you wouldn't put in your mouth, that's what I always say.
* Sally arrives.
* Sally: Did somebody say 'Aloe Vera shampoo'?
* Roxie surprised and gives Sally a hug!
* Roxie: Oh my word, Sally! What are you doing here? It must've been... how long? Twenty years?
* Sally: Let's just say it was some time ago.
* Roxie: Sally, dear little Sally. Look at you! I see you've still get the red hair.
* Sally: All natural, and proud of it.
* Roxie: I like it, I like it!
* Sally looks at the salon.
* Sally: Wow, look at your salon! It's become so much bigger since I worked here.
* Roxie: Bigger is better. Everyone comes here. Islanders, tourists...
* Sally: Julio, hopefully.
* Roxie: What was that?
* Sally: Nothing.
* Roxie: Just sit down, relax and you can tell me all about your life and why you're here.
* Sally: Sure.
* Roxie: Do you want some pineapple juice? Or I could make you a coconut smoothie?
* Sally: Well, I could do with some coffee.
* Roxie: Sally, you haven't changed one bit!

### After the level

* Meanwhile in Sally's Salon, Snuggford, USA...
* Francois: ...and then she said she's not coming back without Julio!
* Customer 1: Wow. What a story.
* Francois: But you can't tell anybody. I promised Sally.
* Emily: Francois!
* Francois: You can all keep a secret, right?
* They agree.
* Customer 1: Imagine the look on everybody's face when she walks in here with Julio.
* Customer 2: The authorities didn't fund him. I don't see why a hairdresser from Snuggford would.
* Customer 3: At least she'll catch some sunlight.
* Emily: She's hanging on to a fantasy Poor Sally.
* Customer 1: I know! We should start making 'welcome back' banners for her, when she returns. Show our support.
* Francois: Great plan. I'll buy some materials tomorrow.
* The customers leave.
* Emily: Francois! This is going too far.
* Francois: What's wrong with a little decorating?
* Emily: Imagine her coming back, alone, with everybody here knowing where she's been. 'Welcome back' banners everywhere, a big party... She'll feel horrible.
* Francois thinks.
* Francois: Then I guess she'll just have to find him.
* Francois leaves to the back. Emily disagrees.

## Level 2-2 - Ask, Don't Tell

* Sally: I just wanted to see how you were.
* Roxie: Are you sure? Just like that?
* Sally: Just like that. My customers said I looked pale so I thought I deserved a holiday.
* Roxie: Well, you've come to the right place for that. But I'm sure that's not it. You're not in trouble, right?
* Sally: In trouble?
* Roxie: You have hundred money through your salon and the IRS found out and you had to flee the country.
* Sally: I'm not a criminal!
* Roxie: Oh, I know! You married a man who turned out to have gambling problems.
* Roxie: He lost all of your money and now you're in debt so you had to come here to get the debt collectors off your back.
* Sally: Of course not!
* Roxie: Well, these things happen, you know. People come to our island for all sorts of reasons. Not just because of our beaches and pineapples.
* Sally: I just needed a holiday.
* Roxie: Don't lie to me, Sally. It might have been a while, but I can still see straight through you.
* Roxie: And I know you're not a 100% natural redhead anymore.
* Sally: Okay, I'll tell you.

### After the level

* Roxie: Wow, Sally. That is some story.
* Sally: I know.
* Roxie: I remember you being moody for weeks, back then. I just never knew why.
* Sally: I should've told you.
* Roxie: We all have our secrets. And our summer romances.
* Sally: It was more than a summer romance.
* Roxie: If you say so, It's so good to have you back here, Sally. With your own salon...
* Sally: And my own hair products. I have some with me, I'll have to let you try them.
* Roxie: I'd love to. I am so proud of you! Little Sally with her big dreams.
* Sally: Well, I had to work hard to get where I am now. You won't believe the amount of different salons I worked at.
* Sally: I even was in the spa business at some point!
* Roxie: Hard work will get you everywhere. I wish I could convince my son of that.
* Sally: How is he doing?
* Roxie: Don't get me started on him. I'd rather talk some more about you. Starting your own business, and succeeding.
* Roxie: That's how I raise my 'kids'. But you better not be using that much hairspray on your customers any more.
* Sally: What can I say, I love big hair!
* And they're happy!

## Level 2-3 - This is For You

* Meanwhile in Sally's Salon, Snuggford...
* Francois: Sure, Tabs. I'll order them immediately.
* Francois gets something.
* Francois: Left-handed Scissors Label B. 'Fresh Choice' conditioner.
* Francois: Which coffee: Dark roast extra? But Sally usually drinks...
* Francois: Sure, sure. I'll order two boxes.
* Francois: Three, right. See you later.
* Snuggford Radio: ...and that song was for David. Thanks, man, for your Facebook messages, all of us here really appreciate it. Keep spreading the love!
* Francois: Why don't you keep spreading the love, Marty, with some more giveaways. I could use concert tickets. Or a holiday!
* Snuggford Radio: Speaking of love, a little birdy told us that our own Sally, of Sally's Salon, has traveled to a tropical island to look for Spanish singer Julio.
* Snuggford Radio: Apparently she believes that he is still alive and she has vowed to find him.
* Francois: What the...
* Snuggford Radio: Sally recently won the last ticket to Julio's concert, here at Mayhem in the AM.
* Snuggford Radio: Unconfirmed sources say she used to be involved with Julio. Now that's a story we'd love to hear!
* Snuggford Radio: Anyway, Sally, if you hear this, we wish you good luck, and this one's for you.
* Francois: Oops.

### After the level

* Sally enters the salon with a delivery.
* Sally: I've made a list with all the places Julio and I went back then.
* Roxie: Did you remember all of them? It was-
* Sally: NOT so long ago. Yes, remembered, I think.
* Roxie: Let me have a look.
* Sally gets a list.
* Roxie: Well, that bar is gone, and that restaurant has another name now. And what is this, 'woods left at the path to pink beach'?
* Sally: Just some place we went to.
* Roxie: Oh, Sally! You did a lot of things I did not know abut back then.
* Sally: Do you have a map of the island?
* Roxie: What do you need a map for? It's just one big road and the sea.
* Sally: I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
* Roxie: I think I might have an idea to make your search a bit easier. And my life. You just leave it to Roxie! Now where did I leave my phone...
* Roxie goes to get drinks.

## Level 2-4 - Time Flies

* One customer leaves while Sally cleans the sink. Len enters.
* Roxie: Hi, Len, come and meet Sally. Sally, this is Len, my son.
* Sally: Oh my, you were just a tiny toddler back when I worked here.
* Roxie: He's grown big now, but he's still my baby.
* Len: Stop it, mum. You're embarrassing me.
* Roxie: That's what mums do. They feed you, clothe you, educate you and embarrass you. You just have to deal with it.
* Sally: Oh, don't worry about it. I'll tell you some stories about your mu late that will leave her embarrassed!
* Roxie: Sally!
* Len: Deal.
* Roxie: Len will drive you around the island, so you can cover more ground for your search.
* Roxie: He knows every little sandy path, even those that are not on any map. And he needs to get off his lazy ass.
* Sally: You don't have to go to work today?
* Roxie: Len does not 'work'. He's a musician.
* Sally: Wow, nice! What sort of music?
* Len: A mix of reggae and rock, with a dash of 60's island vibe.
* Len: And I do 'work'.
* Sally: I'd love to hear some of your music. Oh, and I could play you some of Julio's music while we drive. I brought all of his cd's with me.
* Roxie: Don't encourage you, Sally. I'd rather you tell him about how you worked hard to open your own salon.
* Len: You sound like a broken record, mum. Bye.
* Sally and Len leave the salon, letting Roxie go.

### After the level

* In the road trip, Sally and Len are in coffee shop.
* Sally: I needed that! I love your mum, but sometimes she's taking the 'all natural' thing a bit too far.
* Len: These are the best ice coffees on the island. Some friends of mine run this place, I help them out every now and then.
* Sally: So you do have a 'normal' job.
* Len: No! It's all music related. They have live events here, so I ask musician friends to play with me...
* Len: ...think of a theme, design posters, stuff like that.
* Len: And I make coffee if needed, too.
* Sally: Creative is more than one way, I like it!
* Len: Mum doesn't see it that way.
* Sally: She just wants the best for you. You can't blame her.
* Len: She thinks music isn't a career.
* Sally: Well, it can be, just look at Julio. But that's not for everyone. Maybe you should expand your horizon.
* Sallu: Make some more use of those organizing skills. It sounds like something you enjoy doing.
* Len: Because it's music-related.
* Sally: Music will always be part of your life, whether it's your job or not.
* Sally: If you want to make a career out of it, go for it, but don't be stubborn just because of your mum.
* Len: I'm not.
* Sally: Right, honey, you keep believing that.
* Sally drinks the coffee.
* Sally: Right, time to hit the road again. We'll play Julio's third album, that's his best-selling one, you'll love it.
* Sally and Len are off!

## Level 2-5 - The Magic Number

* Roxie: Oh, no! They'll be here next week! That's far too soon. There is so much I still need to do.
* Sally: What's that?
* Roxie: The 'Salon of the Year' competition.
* Sally: Weren't you entering that already back when I was here, twe- I mean, not that long ago?
* Roxie: I have been trying o win it forever, but it's hard. And it's just once every five years.
* Sally: Yes, right, I remember now.
* Roxie: Have you never entered?
* Sallu: I don't care much for competitions. I love my salon, my customers love my salon, and that's all I need.
* Roxie: Those judges, they are ruthless. They look at everything, and they take notes, and they hardly ever say anything.
* Roxie: But this year, I'm winning. I can feel it.
* Len enters the salon.
* Len: Ready for another drive, Sally?
* Sally: Definitely.
* Sally goes to Len.
* Roxie: Len, those competition judges are coming next week. Drive by Gladys' and ask if she has time to make me a new dress. I need to look perfect.
* Len: Not this terror again. Has it been five years already?
* Roxie: Do not mock me, son. You'd better wish your mama wins.
* Len: Yes, or you'll be cranky for another 4 years and 11 months.
* Roxie: I love you too, baby!
* They're happy!
* Sally and Len leave the salon, letting Roxie go.

### After the level

* Meanwhile in Snuggford, Francois packs up.
* Francois: ...it all arrived.
* Francois: Yes, the coffee too. Thanks, Tabs. You have Emily's number in case anything goes horribly wrong, right?
* Francois: No, I'm sure it'll all be fine. I know you're experienced. I'll be back soon, and Sally too. Thanks again.
* Francois: Where Sally went? SHe asked me not to tell anyone. But once you open the Salon tomorrow, you'll hear soon enough. Bye!
* Francois hangs up and puts away into the case.
* Francois gets a camera.
* And François gets a coffee. Francois is prepared!
* Francois: Let's find this Julio!
* Francois leaves the Salon.

## Level 2-6 - Stay on Target

* There was a mess.
* Sally: Okay, so these places we've been, this one I've been to once but he could still go there later so maybe I should revisit it again.
* Sally: Now all I need is a list of car rental places.
* Roxie: Why? Isn't Len driving you any more? That lazy boy!
* Sally: He is, but I wanted to call the rental places to see if maybe Julio has been renting from them.
* Roxie: Tell Len to help you. That boy needs to pull his weight.
* Sally: I think he's doing a lot already.
* Roxie: Doing odd jobs is not a career.
* Sally: Not everybody wants a regular career, Rosie.
* Roxie: Any son of mine should.
* Sally: Raising a child means you have to let go, eventually.
* Sally: Oh! I know! I should try the bank, see if anyone named Julio has been withdrawing money.
* Sally: Maybe if I offer them a free treatment here, they'll tell me.
* Roxie: I know you want to find Julio, but you're slowly growing insane.
* Sally: That's not Julio, that's just the coffee withdrawal.
* Roxie: I'll make you another pineapple juice. You need to detox.
* Sally: What I need, is to find Julio.
* Roxie gets the pineapple juice for Sally.
* Roxie: You need to snap out of it. You know what, why don't you help me in the salon today.
* Roxie: Show me how much you've learned over the last couple of years.
* Sally: But...
* Roxie: I'm not asking politely, I'm telling you. And you'd better listen to Mama Roxie.
* Sally: But... My notes!
* Sally picks up her notes.

### After the level

* Sally: I must admit, that felt good, Roxie.
* Sally: Do you think the bank is still open?
* Roxie: Sally, not again...
* Sally: I need to know, Roxie. I need to find him. He's waiting for me, I know it.
* Roxie: Sally people enjoy summer flings constantly on this island. That doesn't mean their love lasts forever. Just keep it as a beautiful memory.
* Sally: That's what I've been doing over the last couple of years. But now that he's vanished...
* Sally: Close to this island... Just before his 50th... It can't be a coincidence. It just can't.
* Francois arrives.
* Roxie: That's not Julio, is it?
* Francois: Sally!
* Francois gives a bag to Sally.
* Sally: Francis? What are you doing here?
* Francois: I just thought you needed some help. We can't have to return without Julio, can we. Imagine what people will say.
* Sally: What will they say? They just think I've been on a holiday. Don't they, Francois? Don't they?
* Francois; Sure, Sally. That's what they think. Why wouldn't they? It's not as if anyone has told them about you and Julio.
* Francois: Certainly not me. Definitely not me.
* Roxie: Good. But the Salon? Tabs?
* Francois: You know Tabs. She can do anything. She doesn't need me.
* Sally: But...
* Francois: Tabs doesn't drink this type of coffee, so...
* Sally gets a coffee bag/camera!
* Francois: And this one.
* And with the coffee cup to Sally!
* Sally: Oh, Francois! How did you know I needed this?
* Francois: I guessed.
* Francois and Sally hug!
* Sally: My baby's back!

## Level 2-7 - Cleaning House

* Sally: SO, these 'Salon of the Year' people are coming to impact this place tomorrow.
* Roxie: They'll be here at 11.
* Francois: 'Salon of the Year'? But the competition is only held once every 5 years.
* Sally: Yes, that's right.
* Francois: So why is it called 'of the year'?
* Sally: No idea. That's just the name.
* Roxie: I just want to win. I can't wait another 5 years.
* Sally: Don't worry, Francois and I can help. Some extra cleaning, maybe some small design changes...
* Sally looks around the salon.
* Sally: Francois is really good at interior design, actually.
* Francois: 'Salon of the 5 years'? No, that's weird.
* Sally: Oh, and we can act as your employees, make them think you have lots of people working for you.
* Francois: 'Lustrum Salon'? Sounds like a horror movie.
* Roxie: Thanks, Sally, for helping out.
* Francois: 'Salon of the half-decade'?
* Sally: Don't worry, honey, we'll help you win this thing.
* Francois: 'Salon Olympics'? No, that's every four years.
* Sally: Imagine if you win, it'll be in all of the local papers and maybe Julio will then remember this place and come over her to look for me!
* Francois: 'Quinquennial'?
* Sally: Come on, Francois, let's get to work!
* Francois: Yes! Let's turn this place into the Salon of the Quinquennial!
* Roxie leaves the salon, letting Francois and Sally go.

### After the level

* Len enters the salon while they're working.
* Len: Looking good!
* Roxie: You could've helped.
* Len: you didn't tell me you were doing this.
* Sally: Len, this is my friend Francois. He came all the way out here to help me find Julio.
* Len: Impressive.
* Roxie: I'm sure he doesn't mind the weather either.
* Francois: That reminds me, I need to send Emily a postcard. I promised her.
* Len: There's a great souvenir shop my friend runs. She has beautiful postcards, all handmade. I can take you there later.
* Francois: Sound great, thanks. Oh, and what about the dolphins?
* Len: Which dolphins?
* Francois: Sally told me about the dolphins she saw, last time she was here.
* Roxie: We're not seen dolphins here for a long time. I'm sure they're still here, they just don't show themselves.
* Sally: Just like Julio.
* Roxie: Maybe.

## Level 2-8 - Nothing to Fear

* Sally: You look great, Roxie. That jury won't know what hit them.
* The judges are here.
* Judge 1: If anybody hits is, your salon will immediately be disqualified.
* Judge 2: It's in the rules. Chapter 2, article 53. 'Harassment of judges is strictly forbidden and will result in disqualification.'
* Roxie: You're here. Already.
* Judge 1: It's 10 am. Exactly.
* Judge 2: We're always exactly on time.
* Roxie: 10 am? The letter said 11.
* Judge 2: The letter says 10. Reread it and you will find you are wrong.
* Judge 1: And we are right.
* Len: Mum. Mum!
* Sally: Can I offer you gentlemen something to drink? A nice pineapple juice, maybe? That is one of the specialties of this salon. Everything is fully natural.
* Francois: Yes! You can put it in your hair, on your face, or drink it. Whatever you want!
* Judge 1: We don't need juice.
* Judge 2: We need coffee.
* Sally: Excellent choice. Francois?
* Francois goes to blender.
* Francois: You drank it all? In just two days?
* Judge 1: No coffee. We'll start taking notes now. Where are your customers?
* Sally: They'll come in soon. We have all sorts of customers. Locals, tourists, everybody.
* Judge 1: We don't care about everybody.
* Judge 2: We just care about judging.
* Judge 1: And pan flutes. I care about pan flutes.
* Judge 2: We'll let you know if we need anything.
* The judges step off the salon floor.
* Len: Make sure they don't leave. I have a plan.
* Len leaves the salon.

### After the level

* Judge 1: Right.
* Judge 2: If that is all, we're leaving.
* Len and the customers arrive.
* Len: That is certainly not all.
* Len: Here is your coffee. And we prepared some music for you. It's just something we like to do here, every now and then.
* Len: Because music is just as naturally beautiful as our customers.
* Len: This song is especially for Sally. May you find what you are looking for.
* Judge 1: Look, it's a pan flute!
* The music plays! Now they dance!
* Judge 1: Thank you. That was neat.
* Judge 2: But the coffee and music will not be judged. It's in the rules. Chapter 2, article 71. 'Coffee and music will not be judged.'
* Judge 1: Sorry.
* The judges give coffee back to Francois.
* Now the judges left.

## Level 2-9 - The Fast and the Fabulous

* Francois: I used to play the pan flute as well, you know? I didn't know the pan flute if a traditional reggae instrument!
* Len: It isn't...
* Sally: You could've brought me some coffee. What a stressful day. Are you okay, Roxie?
* Roxie: I guess so. Thanks, Len, for doing all of this.
* Len: It didn't help.
* Roxie: It helped me. I'm proud of you, son. I'm sorry I haven't said that before.
* Roxie: You're a great musician and a fast thinker. You will find your own way in like. I see that now.
* Roxie and Len hug.
* Sally: Roxie, I have to ask. Why would you want to submit yourself to this? This is not a fun competition.
* Roxie: You know how it is. You're proud of our salon, and you want to become bigger and better.
* Roxie: You get this idea in your head, to win a competition, and it's all you can think about. As the years go by, that idea gets bigger, more important.
* Roxie: You convince yourself that you've got a chance and that your life will not be complete without winning.
* Sally: I think your life is quite complete as it is. Don't you think, Len?
* Len: I agree.
* Len: Time to go, guys. I'll drop you off. Do you want to come too, Francois? We can go and buy that postcard.
* Francois: Yes, please.
* Francois: Can I play your own flute in the car?
* Len: You can keep it, good riddance.
* One person gives the pan flute to Francois.

### After the level

* Francois and Len are in coffee shop.
* Francois: Emily will love this card. Thanks, Len.
* Customer 1: ...I've heard he's a very famous person.
* Francois sneaks in the bar.
* Customer 1: And you're saying he's bought Lutum Island.
* Customer 2: Yes, well, half of it. There's that mud spa on there, remember?
* Customer 1; Oh, yes, sure.
* Customer 2: That's on the east side of the island, and apparently this celebrity has bought the west side. He's having a villa built there and all.
* Customer 1: Fancy.
* Francois sneaks but tripped on the stairs!
* Customer 1: What'cha doing there?
* Customer 2: Pervert!
* Len goes to Francois.
* Len: Sorry, ladies. My friend was just curious. Who are you talking about?
* Customer 2: None of your business!
* Customer 1: A mysterious celebrity. No idea who.
* Customer 1: But I'm pretty sure it ain't you, Weirdo!
* The ladies leave anyway.

## Level 2-10 - The Best Things in Life...

* Sally: And where is this Lutum Island?
* Len: Just across from here. It's only tiny. There's nothing there except for this weird mud spa.
* Sally: What's weird about a mud spa?
* Roxie: I've been there once and believe me, I love natural products but they have taken it to a whole different level!
* Sally: A remote island close by, a celebrity who wants to remain anonymous - it has to be Julio. It has to.
* Len: You can take a water taxi to the island.
* Francois: Shouldn't we go by boat?
* There is a call.
* Roxie: Yes.
* Roxie: Of course. No, I understand.
* Roxie: Thank you.
* Roxie: I didn't win. No 'Salon of the Year'.
* They're sad!
* Francois: It's a dumb title anyway.
* Len: You'll get another chance in 5 years.
* Roxie: No. I'm done competing. My salon is fine as it is. Just like my son.
* Sally: I'm proud of you, honey.
* Sally gives Roxie a hug.

### After the level; Post-chapter

* At the coffee shop, Sally and Francois are approaching water taxi.
* Len: The water taxi is just there.
* Sally: Thanks for taking us, Len. And for helping out.
* Len: No problem. Oh, your Julio cd's are still in the car.
* Sally: You keep them.
* Sally: You didn't think I'd travel with just 1 set of Julio cd's, did you?
* Sally: Let's go, Francois.
* Francois: Another island, another adventure. I think I could get used to this!
* Sally and Francois are off to Lutum Island. Len goes back to the salon!
