We're not about the money.

We, uh, we, we work with kids who suffer from hair loss.

Chemotherapy mostly.
Speaker B
It's pretty intense.
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
I know.
Speaker B
My mom went through it, that's why I do this.
Speaker A
Your mom?
Speaker A
That's very admirable.
Speaker B
If you had it in your life, God forbid you do it too.
Speaker B
Just about the right length.
Speaker A
My hair?

Yeah, it'll only take a second.

Well, how much of it?

10, 12 inches.

Shoulder length.

Your Bundles of Joy will probably make some little girl's Christmas.
Speaker B
You have five minutes for Christmas, don't you?
Speaker B
Five, 10 minutes, tops.
Speaker B
For charity.
Speaker B
You know, the city would help us out with parking.

Needs a wash, don't you think?
Speaker A
It's not character.
Speaker B
Are you coming?
Speaker B
Here, just, uh, need you to fill out some paperwork forms.
Speaker B
It's annoying.
Speaker A
No problem.
Speaker B
Just, um, wherever there's an X, sign your name.
Speaker A
Okay, done.
Speaker A
So, uh, how do we do this exactly?
Speaker B
I'm going to give you a bag for the hair, and then we're going to start cutting, that's pretty much it.

We take care of all the processing.
Speaker B
And, uh, that's it.
Speaker B
It's a good thing you're doing.

When I was like four, I cut my own bangs.

I don't want to take off your sweater, get hair on it.

It might itch.
Speaker B
Just get this.
Speaker A
Oh.
Speaker B
That's it.
Speaker A
What was it like?
Speaker A
When your mom?
Speaker B
Hard.
Speaker B
You try to be there, but it's really hard.
Speaker B
She was so brave.
Speaker B
Hope doesn't really change the way it is.
Speaker B
Yeah.
Speaker B
She should be happy about this.
Speaker B
I need you to turn around.
Speaker B
Just so I can look at the pigmentation of your hair around your ears.
Speaker B
That's wonderful.
Speaker B
You have really nice hair.
Speaker B
It's clean.
Speaker B
It's, um.
Speaker A
