Felix: i will post the pics there... I think it's better.
Vance: A time warp is like, I'm coming to visit you in brazil, but because of the time warp, I've actually already been there.
Vance: So you remember me from the time I was there (time warp).
Felix: uh???
Vance: Sorry, "warp" means to be bent out of shape, like a cassette left in your car in the sun.
Vance: For example, Trendsetter thinks he's insane, but Maggi thinks he's warped.
Vance: Someone can have a "warped" sense of humor.
Vance: It means strange, or not in the correct shape.
Felix: oh ok
Maggi: Don't you watch Star Trek...

Trendsetter: Year, European Community, that it is.
Felix: Is not THAT true what people say on Tv Trendsetter..
Felix: We have poor people, but not that much...
Felix: Politicians and other ppl try to show this image about Brazil just to get money from International organizations and banks.
Trendsetter: What are people say on TV about THAT ???
