Transkripcija
| Šimun | Ovo je bilo nevjerojatno! |
|---|---|
| Santiago | Ma fantastično! Koji kostimi! A tek ples, glazba… imao sam osjećaj da smo otputovali u prošlost. |
| Šimun | Točno tako! Imaš osjećaj kao da si u nekom prošlom vremenu i boriš se za čast i ljubav žene. |
| Santiago | Heh, o čemu ti nego o ženama! |
| Šimun | Ovo je bio pun pogodak! |
| Santiago | Nego, sad me ovo podsjetilo… |
| Šimun | Na što? |
| Santiago | Na moje planove za deveti mjesec. |
| Šimun | A kamo sad ideš, bože dragi! Stalno si nekamo. Zar ti nije dosta? |
| Santiago | Nikada dosta putovanja! |
| Šimun | Kamo sad ideš? |
| Santiago | Idem u Vrsar. |
| Šimun | A s kim ideš? |
| Santiago | Idem sam. Nitko nije slobodan. |
| Šimun | Lako je tebi kad si sam svoj gazda! Nego, zašto baš Vrsar? |
| Santiago | Idem na Ribarsku feštu. |
| Šimun | Oh, da. Čuo sam za to. Kažu da je to pravo gastro-umjetničko iskustvo. I što još planiraš raditi u Vrsaru? Imaš li planove? |
