Context
Adam, an undergraduate English major, has been dating Evelyn, a graduate art student at the same college who has convinced him to change his wardrobe, bulk up, and, most recently, get plastic surgery on his nose. This is the first time that Adam’s closest friend, Phillip, also an undergraduate student at the college, has seen Adam since the surgery. Adam tries to dismiss the large bandage covering his nose as the result of having tripped and fallen.
