貝斯正在巴西拜訪她的朋友羅那度。
貝 斯：羅那度！羅那度！這邊啦！
羅那度：我在飛機場到處找妳。歡迎蒞臨巴西！
貝 斯：真不敢相信我已經在這裡了。快走吧。我不想浪費時間聊天。
羅那度：慢慢來。在巴西，妳得放輕鬆。
貝 斯：我好興奮。心跳得好快。大概是在等待時喝了四杯咖啡的關係吧。
羅那度：一旦見識到這地方，妳就不需要咖啡提神了。
羅那度：妳應該先梳洗一番。
貝 斯：我覺得有點悶熱。
羅那度：因為現在是二月。冬天就不會那麼糟了。
貝 斯：可是二月是冬天啊。
羅那度：在巴西不是。這裡的十二月、一月、二月是夏季。
貝 斯：我想那是和台北不一樣的地方。
羅那度：不一樣的可多了！
貝 斯：我等不及要大開眼界了。
羅那度：上車吧，我載你去逛逛。
