Two Lost in a Dirty Night Page #4

Are you going out?

I'm going back to Brazil.

I'm the one who smokes,

you're the one who's high?

- Go back to Brazil, man?

- I can't stay here any more.

- And in Brazil you'll be okay.

- It's impossible to be worse.

I came to America to get

better. What did I get?

To end up in jail.

Forget it! To have been used

in jail is no good reason.

My life is sh*t.

You're too sensitive.

We're in America.

- Anything is possible.

- I haven't got anything.

Because you're a wuss.

I can get anything I want

When I can get it easily,

I use my pliers and take it

I'm going back to Brazil, Paco.

Alright. If that's it,

have a nice trip back.

May I keep your place for myself?

You may, damn it.

My land has palm trees

Where the sabia sings

Birds that sing around here

Don't sing as they do there

May God not let me die

Before I go back there

- Paco, I mean it!

- Alright then.

But tell me just one thing.

How do you intend to go back?

Swimming?

A ticket back costs US$500.

Have you got the money?

No, I don't.

But I'll get it.

How?

All you do is to cry.

Who were those guys? Cops?

Worse.

Immigration

They were after you.

What do they want with me?

I'm legal.

I have a green card.

I don't know.

They asked lots of questions

about you.

Your whereabouts,

what time you'd come back.

The color of your underwear.

They seem to know

you are on parole.

- What did you say?

- Nothing.

I don't understand! Why are

they after me, just like that?

Maybe they've found out

you served some time.

That's not their business!

They have nothing

to do with that.

I remember now.

What?

Something one of them said.

You should renew the card

- What do you mean?

- Your green card. It's expired.

- Puff! Into thin air

- What kind of joke is that?

It seems your old lady decided

to request marriage annulment.

What?

Are you deaf? She wants

to make it void, to get out.

Maybe a younger one came

about, with more money.

She wants to get rid of you.

That b*tch can't do that!

You left the old b*tch,

now you gotta pay for it

You know, it serves you right.

Damn, Paco! I get screwed

and you laugh at it!

You wanted to go back to Brazil

but had no money. You're lucky.

Immigration will take care

of sending you back

They'll give you a free ticket

for you to go back to mommy.

The thing is that you're going

in cuffs, like a thief.

And maybe you'll get beaten,

for trying to pull one over

Damn Tonho, so what if

you gotta take beaten?

They're sending you home anyway.

No, no way.

Isn't it what you wanted?

To go back to Brazil?

- Not like that.

- What? You wanted first class?

What are they going to think?

They think I'm well off here!
