The Boss : “Who would I get a rate from Bel Air to Minx with?”
Here’s me: “What??”
“From Bel Air to Minx”
Here’s me: “Where? to Where?!?”
“Bel Air-ez.”
Here’s me: “Bel Air, like in the Fresh Prince, or are you thinking Buenos Aires, as in Argentina?"
“Belairuss”.
Here’s me: “OK. Belarus. BellaROOS. Belarus to where?”
“Minx”
Here’s me: “You mean Minsk??”
“Yeah, Minsk”
Here’s me: “Minsk is in Belarus!”.
“No, Dormagen?”
At some points, such limited understanding as I thought I had breaks down completely, and all I can really do is stare dead ahead and hold my breath until the vein in my head stops throbbing.
Here’s me: “Please. Start again. In full.”
“Who would I get a rate from Dormagen, Germany, to Minsk, Belarus with?”
Here’s me: “OK, ok. Dormagen to Minsk, gotcha. A rate for what?”
We are making progress.
“A schedule"
No we are not.
Here's me: "You... ah... you want a rate for schedule? Eh..."
"No, a schedule from Minsk to Belarus".
Breathe, motherfucker, breathe.
Here's me: "Are you asking me for a schedule from Dormagen to Minsk?? Is that what you're asking me??"
"Yes."
Praise fucking be.
Here's me: "AHA! Ok. A schedule! From Dormagen to Minsk! Great - now, a schedule for what, exactly, from Dormagen to Minsk??"
"Sailings"
Here’s me: “Theres… no… water.. in.. between… them….”
