Syntax Tree Help?

Okay, so a friend of mine really wants to get this a quote tattooed on her arm. Not only does she want the quote, she wants it as a syntax tree! I applaud this idea, though both her and I seem to have forgotten much of Linguistics 101. I remember the basics of a syntax tree, but I'm finding this sentence to be rather complex.

"A grammar relates to not liking to see again those you used to know

I can get through the A grammar relates part, but after that I find it gets tricky. While I don't expect you guys to draw one out for me, a nice as that would be, if you could use this format it would be great!

I will continue to play with it, but your help will be appreciated.
