"I think I can clear it." "Too small." "Show me your pockets." "Perfect." "Are you from Paris?" "I lived there." "Yes." "Where?" "Do you know Paris?" "I was there for two days." "Very expensive." "So they say." "Your family is there?" "My wife." "Just my wife." "No children?" "No children." "I met my wife... when I first came to Paris." "The day she gave me this was the last day I saw her."

"Maybe I'll join you." "You'd give all this up?" "In six months time, who knows?" "I may have no choice." "Carlos!" "Traiganos tres cervezas, por favor." "You know, there, uh..." "There's one place down here... that might be nice for a guy in your situation." "Ever think of going to Managua?" "Managua?" "Shit!" "There's no way I can go to Managua." "Too bad." "It's a nice place." "No." "Managua is no good for me." "Carlos, haben sie Scotch, bitte?" "Oh, by the way, when you get into Bonao, would you mail that for me?" " Do I have a couple of minutes?"
