Football

Bar


Fernanda: _Oh, hell! Bring me another shot! 
Cristine: _Girls, girls, it's unbelievable! 
Mary: _Oh, but they are so cute! So cute!
Gabriela: _Traitor! 
Fernanda: _It's true! The German boys are handsome!
Gabrielle: _Oh c'mon, I was doing something better during this stupid game. 
Mary: _I was painting my nails of yellow and green. 
Mary Jane: _I took my dog for a ride. Hey man, could you bring me a soda?
Cristine: _Huuummm..did you hear that? She was doing "something" better. 
Gabrielle: _Yes. I was alone in my home, so I turned off the TV and began to read a book. 

All the woman stop and look at her. They start laughing next. 

Gabrielle: _I am meaning it! 
Gabriela: _Fine, we believe, don't we girls? 
Fernanda: _Could you stop talking at the same time? I am trying to have some conversation here. 
Mary: _Nothing on it. You are going to say about the amazing legs of football players?
Fernanda: _Actually I was planning to talk about tactical system of Canary yellow and blue team.
Gabrielle: _Ridiculous. Felipão is so stupid it makes me angry! 
Gabriela: _Is he stupid or dunce? Maybe this moron learns the lesson now. Did you girls see what he did? He put Dante in the place of David Luiz. Then he put David Luiz in the place of Thiago Silva who was suspended with yellow card. 
Cristine: _The left side of Brazilian defense was creep. Do you see how asshole Felipão is, he put a young and weak Bernard to face the giants and hot monsters of Germany. He put Hulk to mark Lahm! 

The girls start to laugh louder.

Cristine: _Can you believe that shit? Hulk marking Lahm? It could only be a sinister joke. 
Fernanda: _But see, Hulk was also playing for the left side, with Marcelo and Dante. And they did none. 
Gabrielle: _The first goal German did upon Brazil was a failed attack of Hulk plus Marcelo and Fernandinho for the left side of Brazil team. The Germany team stole the ball, changed passes with mastery and then when the striker was about to cross the ball, Marcelo interferes and put the ball to corner. 
Mary Jane: _And my future husband, Toni Kroos, put the ball on the foot of Müller. 
Mary: _The first goal was a general failure of Brazilian defense system. Everyone runs for the ball, David Luiz, Dante, Fernandinho and leaves Müller alone. Marcelo was simply marking the area, the wrong by the way, because Müller had a lot of time to think and choose a place where Julior Cesar could not defend. 
Gabriela: _My God and that Khedira? I lose my breath when I think about him! He is so so so gorgeous!
Cristine: _It's true girls! Brazil did not have a cooperative way of playing as Germany. They do not have midfielders and attacking midfielders. The resource of Brazil was just give a strong kicks forward and pray for the ball reach Hulk, Fred or Oscar. 
Gabrielle: _Please, do not say that name! Fred? Who is he? I never saw Fred play for a second in this World Cup. And the brilliant mind Felipão insisted until the end with him. It's right, Brazil was unable to create and raise any kind of midfield playing, because there was no player able to carry the ball and control the team, leading the ball to attack with passes. The resource is put David Luiz and Dante to give long kicks and try a cross. 
Fernanda: _Yes, but nobody failed as Fernandinho. We can put at least three goals on his back. 
Gabriela: _We cannot blame Fernandinho for its fails on the Brazilian defense. The whole team was a crap and the coach is a moron sexist of South. What do you expect? 
Cristine: _Or Germany is real much better...Think about that you bunch of blonde and black haired ones!
Mary: _What was fun about the coach, when Brazil suffered the second goal, and Klose overcome the record of Ronaldo, Felipão leaves the field and go to hide. If I was the coach and my team is losing for two goals, I would change at least three players. 
Mary Jane: _The maximum substitution is three.
Mary: _So be it, I would do something, I would not just seat down and watch the team I manage fall. 
Gabrielle: _And so spoke the senior manager. 
Mary:_Yes, my job is to manage, organize things is a way they can work fast. If I don't manage hard situations, I lose my job. So I take very seriously and when I see Felipão, I feel myself disgusting. He is a bad professional, but he had his job even working with stubbornness. 
Fernanda: _Brazil showed an infantile football, had demonstrated once and for all they play like kids, they do not deal pressure and they can't react. What Brazil intends to do in every game is catch the ball go running to the goal and score in the first minute of the match. This is the Brazil "strategy". Because with one goal at score and advantage, the adversary is forced to attack and open it's midfield defense, so Brazil counter attacks. Brazil is the team of counter attack. When professional teams mark Brazil and do not open the chance for Brazil to score, they start to open their legs.
Mary Jane: _Brazil is the team of one player. Neymar did not play, Brazil lost.
Cristine: _Yes, but when Brazil suffer one goal they don't know what else to do. 
Gabriela: _What a strange and silly team has the creative play in a center back as David Luiz? David Luiz was the player who was creating for the team. 
Mary: _They don't know how to play together, this is the true. Even when they where touching the ball on the midfield, the others players do not appear, Fernandinho, Oscar, Fred, they all seem to be playing as robots on their position, without any kind of creativity. 
Fernanda: _Girls, girls! Let's salute the German victory, why not? We cannot only stay crying because Brazil played nothing. It's good to see a wonderful match of football, and if Brazil did not played, Germans did they work very good. They did not failed on their strategy. Let's hope they finally open their minds and put a woman in the charge of the team. What do you say about that?

All the woman second with strong demonstrations of passion.

Cristine: _Yes, and even a female World Cup. Why only man wants to play football?
Mary Jane: _Fernanda for president! 
Gabriela: _I second! You have my vote. 
Fernanda: _You silly rabbits! I love you all but I am sick of this table and I am going to find some music over there.
Cristine: _I didn't know that blonde and tall guy over there is named "music"
Fernanda: _Do I have too much lipstick? 
Mary: _You are amazing. Go there and show him who you are! C'mon baby!
Gabriela: _A toast for the beautiful German players, beautiful soccer and for all of us! 

The woman celebrates putting their glasses together up in the air and saying a hurrah!

Alice

At this moment the King, who had been for some time busily writing in his note-book, called out "Silence!" and read out from his book "Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile high to leave the court."
Everybody looked at Alice.
"I'm not a mile high," said Alice.
"You are," said the King.
"Nearly two miles high," added the Queen.
"Well, I sha'n't go, at any rate," said Alice; "besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now." 
"It's the oldest rule in the book," said the King.
"Then it ought to be Number One," said Alice.
The King turned pale, and shut his note-book hastily.

"Let the jury consider their verdict," the King said, for about the twentieth time that day. 
"No, no!" said the Queen. "Sentence first -verdict afterwards."
"Stuff and nonsense!" said Alice loudly. "The idea of having the sentence first!"
"Hold your tongue!" said the Queen, turning purple.
"I wo'n't!" said Alice. 
"Off with her head!" the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved.

The Olive Tree



Athena: _Wake up lazy thing! Hey!

Athena kicks his belly.

Athena: _FATHER!

Firstly the light was so intense it could blind anyone thousands miles away. A tremendous lightining bolt coming down from heaven. And it takes the guy who was sleeping in the mountains.

Prometheus: _Damn you Athena! Could you be a little bit delicate?
Athena: _We gotta a work to do. Deliver me from external feelings.
Prometheus: _Work? What are you talking about? I rather being in a damn good sleep. Now, if you excuse-me, I am coming back to my dreams.
Athena: _FATHER!

Another amazing bold felt, but this time Prometheus dodge it and then a tremendous roar of a mighty thunder.

Prometheus: _Can't you do on your own little girl? Always depending on your father.
Athena: _I don't touch things like you. You've been sleeping for far too long. Let me inform you about what happened. Pandora had saved you, and I can't figure out why she did what she did.
Prometheus: _And what was that?
Athena: _Punctual question. She simply murdered a lot of people.
Prometheus: _Wait! This is not real Athena. We are discussing trivial things.
Athena: _I guess it wasn't real at all. Now I realize. I'm trying to wake you up, we must go teach them how to cultivate the Olive Tree.
Prometheus: _No Athena. This is a trick upon us. An illusion. And I know who is behind it. It's the Gemini Brothers.
Athena: _Ca...
Prometheus: _Do not say their names right now. They will notice we busted their cheating and set another frame to put us.
Athena: _I cannot trust you. I don't know if you are truly Prometheus indeed, or a trick of the Gemini Brothers.
Prometheus: _It's a labyrinth. We must find a way out.
Castor: _Do you find me gorgeous? How is to feel the trick upon yourself?
Prometheus: _What are you doing?
Castor: _The Northern Witch has spoken. They paid a very good amount for your soul "Son of Iapetus".
Prometheus: _I have nothing against you brother, but there is no way I got inside a trick.
Castor: _Your pride will answer your question. But you have a choice. I may stay alive.
Prometheus: _And what do you ask?
Castor: _Athena must come with us.
Prometheus: _Misery and blood and all shapes of slaves of Zeus! I am going to make you suffer for this one insult.
Castor: _Slaves of Zeus? And what are you? Slave of Athena? We are all slaves of something. Slaves of fate, slaves of love, we need to be slaves. When we serve we are also commanding.
Prometheus: _But you never reason your orders.
Castor: _There is only one way Prometheus. Your life or hers. I do not have much time, the price they paid for your soul requires an precise time on the execution. And you must decide it right now.
Prometheus: _Where is Athena?
Castor: _Ten.
Hermes: _There must be some kind a way out of here.
Prometheus: _There's too much confusion.
Castor: _Eight.
Prometheus: _Flames of the past, come and seek this one.
Castor: _Seven.
Prometheus: _I don't believe you.
Athena: _Prometheus! Hurry, they are going to kill you!
