 A: Mulheres, vocês pagam mesmo alguém para depilar as sobrancelhas?
Women, do you really pay someone to pluck your eyebrows?
  B: Não eu mesma uso pinça, pago outros para fazer depilação de cera.
No, I pluck them myself, I pay someone to get them waxed.
  A: De cera, hein? Em mim, acho que doeria muito.
Waxed, huh? Sounds like that would be painful.
  B: Sei, as vezes traz lágrimas aos olhos.
I know, sometimes it brings tears to my eyes.
  A: Ainda bem que não sou mulher.
Glad I’m not a women.
  B: Concordo, você choraria como bebê.
Agreed, you’d cry like a baby.
