Phone conversation between Lucija and Santiago

Transkripcija
Santiago Halo.
Lucija Hej, kako si?
Santiago Evo, dobro… Radna akcija, cijelo jutro u vrtu. Vadim krumpire, salatu, kupus…
Lucija Ima li koliko?
Santiago Da ima li! I previše!
Lucija Pravi si težak. Stalno si u vrtu od kada si se dao u poljoprivredu.
Santiago Nema mi druge.
Lucija Što je reći da si se uhvatio vrta usred radnog tjedna?
Santiago Radna akcija! Moram. Ovaj tjedan ne radim baš puno. Došao je Marin iz Zadra pa planiram do njega u Vis na par dana.
Lucija Oh, kako je on? Nisam ga ni čula ni vidjela sto godina.
Santiago Kod njega sve po starom. Sad kad je sezona gotova ima malo više slobodnog vremena. Bit će ovdje na Visu desetak dana.
Lucija A kad ideš kod njega?
Santiago Sutra ujutro kad se probudim.
Lucija E sad kad si sve povadio, sad ponesi malo i Marinu i njegovim roditeljima. Znaš kako to ide, ne možeš doći praznih ruku.
Santiago Naravno. Zato sam se i uhvatio posla danas. Nosim Marinu da ponese u Zadar, a moram i njegovim roditeljima ponijeti. Domaće je domaće!
Lucija Već te vidim, pretjerat ćeš!
Santiago A kome ću ako neću njima. Šimun im šalje i domaćeg mesa…
Lucija Već vas vidim – malo gradela, malo peka, malo vino…
Santiago Nema boljeg od toga, draga moja.
