Analyses of the conversation

Jill: They are so cute.

Tracy: I bet we're never going to see those guys again.

Jill: Look, we're just having some fun here. What's the harm in that?

Tracy: I don't want to spend my vacation with some guy I don't even know.

Jill: Who knows? We might hit it off.

Tracy: Oh, come on. Let's look the odds. How many guys do we ever really hit it off with?


1. I'd like to know here what "look" means.

2. I'd like to know why "What's the harm in that" is used, not "Is there the harm in that."
3. I'd like to know "Who knows? We might hit it off" means "Who know we might hit it off?"


Thank you in advance for your help.

“Look”, in this case, means ‘think about it as though it were written down’. ” is an idiomatic expression that means, “What harm can it do? ” They don’t combine well into a sentence.

“Look”, in this case, means ‘think about it as though it were written down’.
“What’s the harm in that?” is an idiomatic expression that means, “What harm can it do? (it isn’t that dangerous!)
“Who knows?” is another expression that means, “No one can know, it is impossible to know in advance!” They don’t combine well into a sentence.

park sang joonwhat "look" means.
It's an introductory pause word that draws attention to what is about to be said, as if saying "Pay attention" or "Note this" or "Take this into account" or "Consider this".
