ATENAGORAS
Tonight you must give us the sum of 28,000…
He puts his glasses on again and looks at the paper, following the writing with his finger.
ATENAGORAS
…And 835 dollars.
BEARDED MAN
You’re mistaken. I only have to give 28,300 dollars.
INTERMEDIARY
Let’s not fight for such a stupid thing.
He looks at Atenagoras.
INTERMEDIARY
Write a receipt for whatever money he says.
The bearded man opens his shirt and takes out a roll of dollars.
BEARDED MAN
Thank you. Here is your money,
INTERMEDIARY
Count the money, my dear Atenagoras.
The bald employee stars to count the money.
INTERMEDIARY
Idealism is something beautiful. Someone goes out at night, with so much money but
only thinks of his glorious work.
BEARDED MAN
We’re revolutionaries.
INTERMEDIARY
They’re also men.
BEARDED MAN
No one is a man here.
INTERMEDIARY
What do you mean?
BEARDED MAN
We’re bombs.

INTERMEDIARY
I understand less than before.
BEARDED MAN
It’s the last tactic discovered by the heroes in Vietnam. Our battalion is made up of
walking bombs. We don’t need a canon to shoot them as they’re auto guided and
explode in the most convenient place.
INTERMEDIARY
It’s a novelty. I had not thought of that idea.
BEARDED MAN
Our fight is our life. We’re the soldiers of the revolution.
INTERMEDIARY
Sorry but I’m nervous. Can I drink an aguardiente?
BEARDED MAN
Of course you can.
INTERMEDIARY
You should do the same thing. It calms the nerves.
BEARDED MAN
Alcohol is only good for rich people.
INTERMEDIARY
I’m a progressive rich.
BEARDED MAN
We understand, Mr. Intermediary. You can drink as much as you want to. It’s not
your fault. You are controlled by your powerful masters.
INTERMEDIARY
I’d like to be in your place, but my spirit is weak.
As he claps his hands, a sailor appears. The intermediary mutters something to the man.
