[D1, EN] A Little Nightcap (Open)

[Camilo Batista]

"Being alone is very difficult... Where is your familia? In England?"

[Julia Waters]

“Yeah, a small nothing town, but it’s home, yeah. Not much there now, just memories. Being here makes me feel a bit guilty because I can live in all this luxury and they are just scraping by,” she said.

[Camilo Batista]

"Claro. But sometimes the small town can be nice. Big town, big problems. In Rio, many problems. In Rota, many problems. In Mudaba Adin, maybe many problems?

Yes, the money for this house," he motions around them, "could take care of many in meu favela. In my neighborhood. They say the old saying, 'mo money, mo problems', but I think the people that say this do not have no money, only money and problems. They do not know the hunger that hurts the stomach or the sickness that does not go away.

Small town and big money is best. No?"

[Julia Waters]

“Exactly, it’s like when people say money can’t buy happiness and I am like, mate, money could solve most of my damn problems, yeah? So,” she finished her beer and said, “I am hitting the sack, yeah, but it as good talkin’ to you.”

“If you ever get some good liquor, hit me up, mate.” She departed to bed unless stopped.

Camilo added his own empty bottle and pulled another one from the fridge. He hesitated a moment. He wanted to tell her to wait, wanted to ask her to stay and keep drinking with him. But it was the first night in the house and better not to make things too complicated.

"Sim, we will all make the big bank and solve our problems. The first problem to solve will be proper licor."

It had been nice talking to her.
