ENGLISH DIALOGUE

Fishmonger: What would you like?
Madam: The sapucos?
Fishmonger: The sapucos are at six fifty per kilo. These are the only ones because the season is closed.
Cuchi: Why?
Fishmonger: They say that the sapucos are becoming hermaphrodites and that they don’t ...
Cuchi: And they don‘t?
Fishmonger: Hermaphrodites, I suppose they have both sexes, don’t they?
Jos: Sure.
Cuchi: Yes.
Fishmonger: Well, they should reproduce better ... but they don’t.
Child: I know what it is.
Fishmonger: Well, they are becoming one single sex species and they are ...

Julia: It's awful, huh. It must be very tasty.
Cuchi: Oh, allright.
Fishmonger: To have surgery ... he had not yet decided ..., and I think he had a hard time, huh.
Cuchi: It was a mess.
Jos: Sure, the tuna belly, from bellow.
Julia: The part from bellow.
Fishmonger: And what restroom did he go to, the boys' or the girls'?
Jos: That's the ... what holds the ...
Fishmonger: He had a bad time, huh.
Julia: Yes, it's true, about the belly.
