Hey, Antonio, why don't you ask your brother for the bike?
Antonio: ¿Y por qué no se la pides tú?
And why don't you ask him?
Luis: Porque a mí no me la deja.
Because he won't let me.
Antonio: Ah, tú sigues teniéndole miedo .
Ah, you're still afraid of him.
Luis: Hombre, claro, es tan bruto ... Uno le dice algo de buenas maneras y él es capaz de contestar con una bofetada . (Juan, el hermano de Antonio, se ríe.) ¿De qué te ríes?
Man, of course, he's so brutish... You say something to him in a good manner and he's capable of answering with a slap on the face . (Juan, Antonio's brother, laughs.) What are you laughing at?
Juan: Me río de ti. ¿Por qué no me dices a mí lo que le estás diciendo a mi hermano? ¿Te doy miedo?
I laugh at you. Why don't you tell me what you're telling my brother? I scare you?
Luis: No, no... Bueno, pues, si no te sirve la bicicleta, ¿por qué no me la prestas?
No, no... Well, if the bike doesn't work for you, why don't you lend it to me?
Juan: Claro que te la presto, si no sales del parque, porque si te ve mi padre, seguro que me riñe .
Of course I'll lend it to you, if you don't leave the park, because if my father sees you, I'm sure he'll scold me.

Mariela: Tengo mucha hambre. No he comido nada desde anoche. ¿Quedan naranjas todavía?
Pablo: Me temo que no. Michel se las ha devorado en la merienda.
Mariela: ¿Quién es Michel?
Pablo: ¿No lo conoces? El chico francés que llegó hace dos días.
Mariela: No sabía su nombre. No he conversado con él.
Pablo: Ahora puedes hacerlo. Buen día Michel.
Michel: ¡Qué sueño! He bailado toda la noche.
Mariela: Hola… ¿Tú eres Michel?
Michel: Lo siento, no te había visto. Sí, me llamo Michel y soy francés. Vine a Montevideo por trabajo. Pero me reservé una semana para descansar. ¿Tú eres uruguaya?
Mariela: Claro. Trabajo aquí, de hecho. ¿Te gusta Montevideo?
Michel: Sí, mucho. Anoche visité el barrio del Puerto. Bebí muchos tragos y conocí bellas chicas como tú…
Pablo: Ejem… Oye, Michel, no te lo he dicho antes pero ella es mi novia.
Michel: ¡Oh! ¡Pérdoname! Es que casi no he dormido. Vaya, tienes suerte. Mariela es muy linda y simpática.
Mariela: Ustedes, los franceses, no se detienen nunca. Son muy seductores.
Michel: Eso dicen. Pero yo he viajado mucho, y hace bastante que no regreso a mi país.
Pablo: Pero no pierdes el tiempo en Montevideo. Ayer estabas en la playa de Pocitos, ¿verdad?
Michel: ¿Me has visto? Sí, fui a pasear por el Muelle. Luego me encontré con un amigo belga. Me invitó a tomar unas cervezas.
Pablo: Supongo que después de beber nuestra cerveza, no volverás a tomar otra. ¿O si?
Michel: El sabor de la cerveza uruguaya es único. Es un poco más amarga que la cerveza argentina, pero más rica. La de Buenos Aires cada vez está más aguada.
Mariela: Estoy de acuerdo contigo. Prefiero cualquier cerveza antes que la argentina.
Michel: De todos modos, no hay como la cerveza irlandesa. Tiene más cuerpo.
Pablo: ¿Has estado en Irlanda?
Michel: No, pero la cerveza irlandesa es fácil de conseguir en Francia. En realidad, cualquier cosa es fácil de conseguir allí, y en toda Europa.
Pablo: Qué envidia. Aquí en Uruguay dependemos del mercado argentino y brasileño. Si ellos poseen algo, nosotros también. Si no tienen algún artículo, nosotros tampoco lo tendremos.
Mariela: Uruguay es un país pequeño. Pero no hay como nuestra yerba mate. ¿Has probado nuestra bebida nacional, el mate?
Michel: Por supuesto. Es exquisito, parecido al té inglés, pero más fuerte. ¡Podríamos preparar uno ahora mismo!
Pablo: Buena idea. ¿Calientas el agua, Mariela?
Mariela: Claro, mi amor. Espero que haya quedado algo de yerba mate.
Pablo: Michel, estoy sorprendido por tu español. Hablas con mucha claridad.
Michel: He viajado por toda Latinoamérica, y también viví en Madrid. Soy un ciudadano del mundo…
Pablo: Pero no es fácil aprender bien un idioma extranjero. Por ejemplo, jamás aprendí francés, y lo he intentado.
Michel: Si te gusta, aprendes. A mí me gustan los países latinos, y pude aprender español con facilidad.
Mariela: ¿Quién quiere un mate?
Michel: Por favor, dame uno. Lo necesito. Hace frío y me calentará el cuerpo.
Pablo: Veo que te llevas bien con nuestras costumbres. Es verdad, así es más fácil aprender otro idioma.
Mariela: Y veo que le enloquecen las naranjas… Ayer, el canasto estaba lleno de naranjas.
Michel: Amo las frutas. Me las comí todas yo solo.
Pablo: Ahá… Como el mate, que lo tomas tú sólo y no lo devuelves…
