Post by bunniefuu »

you look quite tasty or slippery and wet oh man you can't go on den for everything why do you have to

make everything a major drama of us huh it does remember from the british embassy

oh yes of course you're not gonna find any peace of mind until you choose a path and stick to it

those two asian guys ringside the one on the right is called michael [ __ ]

and you're going to be his new best friend he's passionate about manchester united

hola hello i'm sorry i'm leaving me the rest of my family [Music]

so much furthermore she's a bit dodgy rooney just around the corner i think it's not a knocking shot is it

because if it is we'll better leave never tight to sports and events it's not

[ __ ] fight is it my dog's ripping each other's throats out no i couldn't get tickets for that

so what's the bloody mystery then it's the surprise you could get a bet on you know like the

impossible romance set against the heady sensuality of old

i'm havanese should we get a coffee or do you want to go trophy or my mother has made dinner all

right okay is that right yes yeah it's just you know there's a

lot of people at your house isn't that not much chance of a snog on the silver

sometimes i still don't understand what you say it's probably just as welcome

he's from the embassy annie no idea he just gave you the knot

[Music] yeah i i believe it is

right it is yeah bit of a smoothie by the looks of it

smooth enough to pull a lot of talent like suffering

thanks i've already got one i just wondered if you were here because of me no no i'm here because of her but i

don't know what you're doing here you'd be better off down at el castillo oh is that where that chinese lad hangs

was i just say the mother was a doctor or something hi that's all i see him here isn't it

i'll get paid to see him walk i'm not communist as well you know us but there's something inspiring about

cuba's egalitarianism they've had their revolution i believe in it and i've stuck to that for life

ah that's all right till your roof starts leaking and you haven't got a bread for to fix it i'll surprise what magic palace about is

the fact that every other roof in the street is laking so you could have the envy factor what

would make a palatable body as if me and a few of my pals fixed it up with them

in my spare time you read the pamphlet what pamphlet the one the embassy gave

out to us when we came here goes and dance oh i couldn't be our stream nut

well if you add in the same but moonlighting is a definite don't

what are you saying like you're not wanting to help us no i'm not saying that i'm just you know what do you know this is not making some

trivial thing for me i really want to try and help ophelia you know

you got it bad haven't you

bye huh i've never known like this before

when i see her i get all tongue-tied me shivers doing me neck and

sweaty palms well those symptoms you described could be one of two things

it's either that mongolian fluid was going around last year oh you're in love

well let's hope it's the floor you can get a job for that oh

yes tatiana had very much the same effect on my palpitations shortness of breath

understood look i know these boys are your pals but

problem i don't see why it's a bit dodgy you know and start making stuff off the site no

the bricks and tails and timber and such and that new bath will fit into it

nobody's going to miss it hold on hold on sure can you clear this with dennis

the moonlighting it's none of your business how can you say that look it's me that's getting the flax since

trasca left and if he embassy getting to know about this there's no reason why they should is

that huh unless you go and jack into them or as you find an attitude problem with me

dennis we're all in this well boxy are mean it does seem the right

thing to do they're good people they're out there

amigos working on your house but i will come over

hello this is dennis nice to meet you

[Music]

got it hi

[Music]

what's your [Music]

my grandfather was there in the streets of havana new year's eve 1958. what the night of

the revolution is in godfather 2 remember cantaloupe

it means mama they are from the hills i've heard the story many times since i am little

i must have been some part i bet he got his leg over that night that they all said i'd love to have been

a liberator marching down from the hills with me bury your machine g*n all them beds with their flashing guys

they'd have got my banzalero off in a second i can tell you moxie what he's telling the story he was

there come machete

or they chopped people's heads off no their heads are [ __ ] meters ah why did you do that because the money

in them was supposed to go to the port everyone knew went to batista

three days later fidel arrived and when he spoke to the people they

released thousands of white dogs and one of them flies down and settles on his shoulder

a very symbolic i should imagine oh yes because the dog is very special in santeria oh i see

so the people has seen it as a sign that the gods have chosen fidel

must have been a magnificent moment sir birth of a nation i sure oh hey lads

raul here has kindly cleared it for us to visit this santeria fiesta tomorrow afternoon

bye we have a thank you for us doing the work on the house uh we should be done by then like we're not for that

hey cuban knees up too right you should bring gifts for the babalao

what he's like the high priest he likes best havana glue the

seven-year-old don't we all

thanks for making this happen god i just wish i could remember all

indians you're beautiful girl man isn't she no what's your season a load mo float like melee neither do i

hey well lads listen this thing remember ophelia says that visit i shouldn't wear black harley

why is that because some of them go into a trance and if them see somebody declared in black i can't think that's

the same of the devil apparently on way to know what can i wear black i can't wear

weight that's newcastle united's colors one i don't think i'm going to like this trilogy

trance for summer funnily dear brenda we don't have to tell you

this but you're never become a zombie

[Music]

[Music]

hey this isn't like black magic or anything is it no no raul says there's em what does g*n important like but

not this one i read about it last night essentially the religion's a blend between roman catholicism and west

african americans is brought to the caribbean by the sl*ves what's animism well the belief that rocks stones

natural objects like trees have souls fancy that was brought to the cv

oh wait hey man we are special guests you know who had to pull strings for to get we're in all right but if they start

sacrificing chickens i'm gone

foreign

oh

foreign

thank you

what is it well it tastes of orange there's something else yes you get the

aftertaste first

gracious tell your friends to be careful with the

food some of it is um poison poison

maybe i use wrong word special herbs are you mean spiked

what are they doing now they're calling the dead

if your granny turns up you can ask her where she

guys i've just found out what we're there's rum in drinking isn't there yeah

toasted corn orange and the blood of a goat

is possessed by the spirit of a dead man from ancient times fascinating

i don't know there's language something in africa

for protection

sometimes

comfortable in there you know me i don't mind you when it comes to spiritual stuff well that's what attracted me to arizona

i was a bit bizarre obama's thinking i know what you mean it's a bit like knight of the living dead

i don't feel your fears into as much as her brother oh no she's not

he's a lovely lady hi barry i love the traffic lights here look at

the way they sparkle and glitter like a lot of skype for colors

there's no tropic lights in this street buddy this is all grey gold purple

blue i love the butterflies sir there's no bloody butterflies there's millions of them their wings

sparkling with iridescent wait a minute did you eat anything back there

oh he's tripping he's tripping on me now if he skips the wheel give us the wheels

[Music]

neville you're on the loose come have a drink i don't want a drink man consuela has a

sister it's one of the lads had an accident buried taylor and they've got him in the nick but he's

been there three hours well it's not unusual with you chaps is it you get pissed get into fights sleeping over inside

it was nothing late that man it was a traffic accident i thought you could make a few calls

pull a few strings you're the one that's meant to have the pull around here so why don't you try

and prove it absolutely i'm onto it

not with you no

they wouldn't let you see them no they let gary turn to see him some bird

from the embassy was gonna interpret like you know

well what gonna be taking so long where he's giving statements you're not being processed all that he's a british subject with the

oed that must mean something no it's not as simple as that bummer you see

traffic accidents that result in the injury or death of third parties are treated in cuba as

a crime now i'm quoting from the book yeah yeah but no one was seriously yet were they

well the fruit seller broke his leg didn't he he seemed more concerned about the state of his mangoes

well at least we can square him away come over there no that's not the point man see under

cuban law right and i'm quoting again right they can detain barry until they've concluded all of their enquiries

stays our view all over again isn't it what do you mean well barry inside

arizona some petersburg and now havana he could write a good jail guys hey

moxie this isn't a laughing mother you know i'm not laughing just to touch a gallows human so wait a minute dennis

these inquiries how long do they take as a rule it could be weeks months

[Music]

so [Music]

so [Music]

[Applause] [Music]
