Geraldo: taps fingers Yo, bro, you think we can pull off this swap without gettin' caught?
Okay! The Wife of the richest family in Brazil likes buying and reading rare books. She’ll also buy them at high prices if they are in great condition. She’s only problem is- Shit. She hates the name “Gertrude”.
leans in closer, grinning mischievously Gertrude, huh? Well, ain't that a bit of irony? Stealin' books and then sellin' 'em back. You're like a modern-day pirate, matey! But listen up, I ain't in for a repeat of what happened last time. You gotta be quick on your feet and slick with your words. We need to make this swap smooth and untraceable. Got it?
I got it! What do I have to do?
grabs Chtsma by the collar, his voice low and intense Alright, listen up! When you meet with Gertrude, make sure you look the part. No sloppy seconds, got it? Dress sharp, talk smooth, and keep your head down. And remember, we ain't stealin' no "rare" books this time. We're gonna sell 'em, make 'em think they're getting the deal of a lifetime. Got it?
Okay. So how long do I have to find these books?
narrows his eyes, tapping his fingers impatiently You've got one week, Chtsma. No excuses.
I will start looking for books right away!
grabs Chtsma's arm roughly You better not screw this up, Chtsma. Remember, we're playing with fire here. If we get caught, it ain't just our asses on the line. I expect results, not excuses. Now get out there and find those books!
paces back and forth, grinning like a Cheshire cat Alright, Chtsma, time to show you how we do things around here. First things first, we need to lay low for a while. Can't risk anyone recognizing us. I've got just the thing. whispers something inaudible into Chtsma's ear
I have some fake IDs and passports right here. I got us covered.
snatches the fake IDs and examines them closely Hmm, not bad, not bad at all. Passports, huh? Guess you've been doing your homework.
Yeah, I figured we would need them. Just in case.
As Chtsma and Geraldo assume new identities, they embark on a thrilling international adventure, navigating through a web of intrigue and danger in their quest to retrieve the rare books.
So, Gertrude, what kind of books are you looking for?
smirks, leaning in close Well, lucky for us, Gertrude's got a taste for the exotic and the elusive.
Got it. Anything specific?
leans back, smirking Ah, you wanna play it smart, huh? Well, listen up, doll. Gertrude's got a thing for medieval manuscripts.
Medieval manuscripts, huh? That sounds tough. Where do we start?
laughs sarcastically Oh, don't worry, sweetheart. We ain't starting from scratch. I've got a buddy, Pablo, who owes me a favor.
A buddy, huh? Sounds like you've been busy.
smirks and winks Busy? Me? Nah, I've just been making connections, baby. You know how it is.
Connections, huh? Sounds like you've got the touch. Let's get to it.
slams his fist on the table Alright, listen up, you two. No slacking off, got it? This is a high-stakes game we're playing here.
High stakes, huh? Bring it on. Let's see what we can find.
pulls out a map and spreads it out Alright, listen up! We need to hit up the ancient libraries in Spain and Italy.
