SANDRO: Apunta también atún fresco, me encanta.
PACO: Pues a mi no me gusta, además es muy caro y la economía familiar no está para esos sustos. Hay que comprar productos prácticos.
SANDRO: Vale, vale… faltan huevos, mantequilla, leche, zumos, fruta, pasta, patatas chips, y…
PACO: Carnes… sí, pollo, lomo, bistecs, pizza congelada
SANDRO: La pizza no es carne.
PACO: La pizza barbacoa lleva ternera, así que se acepta como carne.
ÁGATHA: ¡Pepinos! ¡Hay que comprar pepinos!
SANDRO: ¡Si se compra pizza hay que comprar atún!
PACO: Pues no.
SANDRO: No ¿Por qué?
PACO: Porque no me gustan los pescados, como mucho las sardinas en escabeche, esas que van en lata.
ÁGATHA: ¡Pepinos! ¡Hay que comprar pepinos!
SANDRO: ¡Qué pesadita! Espérate que todavía no hemos llegado a la sección de hortalizas y verduras.
ÁGATHA: ¡Quiero pepinos!
PACO: Además, tú no comes pepino. Yo nunca te he visto ponerte esa hortaliza en la ensalada, incluso podría afirmar que lo odias.
ÁGATHA: Efectivamente, a mi no me gustan pero a mi cutis le van de maravilla.
SANDRO: Put down fresh tuna. I love it!
PACO: Well, I don’t like it. It’s very expensive and the family budget doesn’t allow for such high expenses. There are practical products to buy.
SANDRO: Okay, okay … missing eggs, butter, milk, juice, fruit, pasta, potato chips, and…
PACO: Meat … yes, chicken, pork, steak, frozen pizza
SANDRO: Pizza is not meat.
PACO: Barbecue pizza has meat, so it is accepted as meat.
AGATHE: Cucumbers! We have to buy cucumbers!
SANDRO: If you buy pizza you have to buy tuna!
PACO: Ah, no.
SANDRO: No. Why?
PACO: Because I don’t like fish, and much like marinated sardines, those are canned.
AGATHE: Cucumbers! We have to buy cucumbers!
SANDRO: How annoying! Wait we haven’t reached the vegetable section yet.
AGATHE: I want cucumber!
PACO: Plus, you don’t eat cucumber. I’ve never seen you put this stuff in the salad. I might even suggest that you hate it.
ÁGATHA: Yes, I do not like them, but my skin is looking marvelous!
