Benito

Seeing that gentleman, I said to Benito here: '...He's one of those who never denies help...' Don't let my tattered coat deceive you... I'm going through a rough patch, but I have my own home, I'm not starving, just not working lately. I'm not like Benito... I have a family, you know, even though I haven't seen them in a long time. If you'd like to invite me, I'll have a drink... It's freezing out there on the streets. Come closer, Benito, the gentleman invites... Pour us two of the same and may God bless you. As much as you have, that's how much you're worth, and that's it. Today we breathe, tomorrow we stop breathing. Like I was saying, it was that bastard of a son-in-law who ruined me and fooled the whole family... With this and that... Lies, I swear... Would you offer me a cigarette...? People, boss, are bad and the world is a mess. Look, for example, this guy would sell his mother for a box of wine. Sit here, Benito, and stay put! Another drink...? Alright. To the flashy people! This wine opens the appetite. Wouldn't you like to eat something...? The body appreciates it. Right, Benito...? As much as you have, that's how much you're worth, and that's it. Today we breathe, tomorrow we stop breathing. Wake up, Benito... The firewood got wet and we can't light a decent fire like this. The river is rising... It's covering even the rocks... We'll have to move under another bridge. You know, Benito? Last night, I had a wild dream. I was chatting and having drinks in a divine place with a gentleman, and you were there too, Benito... And there was soup, shrimp, chops, beans with chorizo, coffee, a drink, and a cigar... Like in the good old days. Benito... Are you not listening to me...? What's wrong, Benito...? Don't you dare die on me. And that's it. Today we breathe, tomorrow we stop breathing. I don't think you'd mind if I put your socks on top of mine forever. After all, my friend, you're not cold anymore. Forgive me for leaving you, the river keeps rising.
