I'd get rid of the bastard

in two seconds

He'd end up with more holes

than Swiss cheese.

What's your name?

Tonho.

- Antonio Carlos. And yours?

- Paco.

Paco?

Yeah, Paco.

- That's not a woman's name.

- So what?

- Have you got a place?

- Of course! You think I'm homeless?

That's not it. I live nearby.

If you want to rest.

Hey, man. Don't get any ideas!

No. I'm just asking

if you want to take a nap.

Yeah, right. Take a nap with you.

No, just a nap.

It's a huge place

Do you think I'm stupid?

Didn't you see the pliers?

Man,

I'm just trying to do you a favor!

And how should I pay for it?

With a blow job?

Geez girl, you don't understand.

I don't want anything

- Is it nearby?

- Yeah.

Are you one of those people

who miss Brazil a lot?

I think about going back,

some day.

I came to work,

to make some money.

I want to go back in style,

full of dollars.

- Do you think about going back?

- No.

- Will you stay here forever?

- All I want from Brazil is distance

- May I smoke?

- Fell free.

Isn't that harmful?

No way.

It's very good.

- Do you want a hit?

- Pass. I'll stick to my beer

There's a lot of pigeons

in this damn place!

How long have you been here?

Five years.

Five years

and still cleaning toilettes?

When I came,

I thought it would be easy.

They all think that.

It was very hard in Brazil.

I couldn't get a job.

I met some guys from Valadares

who had come here.

They told me to come,

that I'd make it.

I gathered all the cash I had

and owed and bought a ticket.

Mom gave me some money.

Poor mom... all her savings

But I'll pay her back every cent

Because it was all set.

Including a lawyer to get me

a green card.

What?

I had to give 30% of my income

to the old b*tch.

Damn, that sucks!

But I had my green card.

I was legal,

I was going to find a job.

- It was all according to plans.

- And something came out wrong.

Yeah.

It should have worked out.

I can't understand.

I studied, you know?

I know electronics,

I can handle a computer.

I'm educated! I never ran

from work, I like it

But in spite of it all,

it didn't work out all right.

When I think is going to be fine,

it happens the other way around.

I don't know why. I think...

that people look at me

as if I had something.

They're suspicious,

as if I had a problem.

Tell me, Tonho.

Sit down over here!

Say it!

Say it. Through, think, there.

Are you kidding me?

- The "th" is hard

- You're saying I don't speak English?

- Barely

- I can speak it very well!

Damn, man!

Spit that sock out of you mouth

Of course you can't get a job.

You don't speak their language.

What do you mean, girl?

Are you kidding me?

- Relax.

- I speak it well. Very well.
