Andrea: "Hallo?"
Patricia: "Hey, I am Pat!"
A: "Pat? What the hell! How is it going?"
P: "I'm fine, thanks!"
A: "Are you still in Manchester
P: "Yes, I am with Dan…"
A: "Nice!"
P: "Andrea... I'm dying here!! There's a lot of snow outside… I was born in Brazil and not inured to cold so, I miss the warmth of Italy very much"
A: "Yeah, I understand... and of course I heard the latest news about the bad weather in England but, changing subject, something new about your marriage?"
P: "I am a Sagittarius, you know... I usually rack my brains trying to understand many things but, I play my part to the end anyway..."
A: "What?"
P: "Oh, nothing... "
