"By plane, of course." "You can't afford even the bus fare!" "Do you remember that other story when he went to the airport... and managed to get to the landing strip?" "He lay on the ground... and when the plane came by he flew away with the wind." "Man, that was the biggest trip." "See that?" "Even Pepê knows you're a big liar."
