College is my ticket out of here, and I'm looking at ones in America. Any suggestions? It's got to have a huge sports following so that Charlie will be inclined to visit me once in awhile.

You want to go to college in America?

[insanguinato]

Will you stay in America?

[bellatramonto]

I don't know, I haven't applied to any universities yet. Let's not jump the gun.

Why? Will you miss me?

[insanguinato]

How many will you apply to?

[bellatramonto]

Four or five, I guess.

[insanguinato]

Why America?

[bellatramonto]

I like the whole culture and the college experience there seems interesting.

[insanguinato]

Have you been there before?

[bellatramonto]

A couple of times, once in New York and once in California.

[insanguinato]

Really? When?

[bellatramonto]

Right before I came to this city. Can you maybe call your friend off? He's bothering me.

[insanguinato]

He's being a brat on purpose. That means he's in a good mood.

[bellatramonto]

Well he's spoiling mine, unfortunately.

[insanguinato]

He's just playing. You shouldn't take it seriously.

[bellatramonto]

Playing? Right. He just loves to make me feel inferior with everything he does.

I said he was handsome once, but this quality just keeps making him uglier and uglier.

[insanguinato]

That's not what he's doing. He's just playing with words. He does it all the time, to me too. He turns most of our conversations into battles over fact, opinion, or excuse.
