Thank You Means No More
Monday the twenty-sixth of May, twenty thirty-one, Porto Alegre, nine degrees at eight in the morning. Part Two begins in the South. Daniel and Larissa, who has never been cold in her life, land for the office's first big client, a man in his sixties who meets them at the airport himself, with a thermos under his arm. Before business, the South's hot bitter tea goes round the table from one gourd, and the one word that stops it coming back is thank you, which Daniel says after his first sip, politely, and loses his turn for the morning. Say "I've never been cold in my life", "before business, the tea", "in the tea, thank you means I don't want any more", "whoever says thank you leaves the circle" and "I said thank you too early", and hear the South speak, with its own you.

LA HISTORIA
Monday the twenty-sixth of May, twenty thirty-one, eight in the morning, the airport in Porto Alegre, nine degrees. Larissa flew down from the Northeast last night in the first coat of her life. Daniel's flight from Rio has just landed. At arrivals, a man in his sixties with a thermos under his arm, the founder of the company they have come to win, forty years old this year. At nine, at his table, a gourd and a metal straw go round before a word of business, and Daniel, after his first sip, says the politest word he knows. At eight at night, on video, his wife has counted his messages. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
