A tiny spell.

PEDRO
(FALANDO) She may have legs, but her love affair doesn't!
JUCA
(FALANDO) I didn't feel any sparks, did you?
PEDRO
(FALANDO) [laughs] No electricity whatsoever!
JUCA
(FALANDO) What's the poor sweet child to do?
PEDRO
It's such a shame
JUCA
It's such a crime
PEDRO
To be so close
JUCA
and yet so far
PEDRO
So overdue
JUCA
yet underpar
PEDRO
So out of time
JUCA
It's too sublime
AMBOS
Sweet Child!
JUCA
Poor child
PEDRO
And now her second sun has set!
JUCA
Dear child!
PEDRO
Lost child!
JUCA
There's still some hope-
PEDRO
Ya wanna bet?
JUCA
No.
PEDRO
One more day to get her lovepeck
JUCA
One more day to snag her man

And then the squid will hit the fan
PEDRO
(spoken) She'll be disgraced
JUCA
(spoken)Ugh Debased
PEDRO
Reviled
AMBOS
Poor child...!
