DANIEL I've got a real problem.
SANDRO And what would that be?
DANIEL This girl is hot for me.
SANDRO You've got a simple choice to make.
DANIEL It's not that simple.
SANDRO I didn't say it was easy. I said it was simple.
DANIEL It's not simple.
SANDRO Does the girl like you.
DANIEL I just said she was hot for me.
SANDRO Are you hot for her?
DANIEL What does that matter?
SANDRO It matters everything.
DANIEL But my wife.
SANDRO Doesn't she know?
DANIEL No!
SANDRO You haven't told her.
DANIEL Why would I tell her?
SANDRO Because you love her.
DANIEL I would tell her because I love her? It would kill her if she knew.
SANDRO If she knew? What do you mean if she knew?
DANIEL If she knew that I like this girl!
SANDRO I'm sure she knows that already.
DANIEL No.
SANDRO Wives know.
DANIEL I've never even mentioned her name.
SANDRO Women are very sensitive.
DANIEL I know.
SANDRO They can tell.
DANIEL I know.
SANDRO They can, trust me. She knows. And your little girlfriend knows too.
DANIEL What does she know now?
SANDRO That you haven't told your wife.
DANIEL What the fuck difference does that make?
SANDRO It makes a difference..if..she thinks you're keeping her at a distance.
DANIEL Another shot of this, right away. A double.
SANDRO I'll go again as well.
DANIEL It's on me.
SANDRO It's always on you.
DANIEL I make more.
SANDRO And you're more stressed.
DANIEL No shit. How's your love life?
SANDRO Nonexistent.
DANIEL Fabulous, why don't you get laid.
SANDRO Give me your little hottie's number.
DANIEL No chance.
SANDRO Then get with the girl.
DANIEL No chance. That girl is trouble.
SANDRO Girls are never trouble.
DANIEL Girls are always trouble.
SANDRO You're right.
DANIEL No, you are right. They're wonderful. I love them.
SANDRO Not all of them.
