[disole]

Um, my Italian is so bad -- like, really bad. If this stupid translator would work.

Ciao, la mia toletta è Justin. Er. That's probably not right. Damn.

I'm Justin -- I just really need to find a grocery store. Help?

I can show you.

[disole]

Really.

[cheapredlights]

Yeah. There's one right near my apartment.

[disole]

That's got to be convenient. What's your name?

[cheapredlights]

I'm Roger. And you?

[disole]

Kinda said it up there, but -- I'm Justin.

[cheapredlights]

Nice to meet you, kid. You new around here? It's an interesting place to be. You might need someone to protect you.

[disole]

I can take care of myself!

[cheapredlights]

I don't know about that. You can't even speak the language.

[disole]

Knowing how to speak Italian isn't going to do much when there's someone coming at you with a bat trying to hurt you.

[cheapredlights]

Oh. I'm sorry. Did you take karate class in sixth grade? Muggers will definitely stay away from you now.

[disole]

Okay, fine. I'll give you a call on the off chance that I am in the process of getting violated on the street. Satisfied?

[cheapredlights]

How about you give me a call beforehand and I protect you from being violated.

Sounds better to me, really. We can even go to the supermarket together. It'll be like a date.

[polsini]

[disole]

Like a date, huh. :)

... okay, fine. But only because I don't know anyone yet. And because apparently, the streets of Reggio Calabria are populated with dangerous people.

[cheapredlights]

Very dangerous people. Who will not be afraid of your sixth-grade karate skills. Trust me, there is nothing fun about being pistol-whipped.

All right. I live here. [address] Where are you now? I'll direct you over.
