"Dos Santos, what are you doing?
Come and listen."
:33:15
Kitchen appliances...
lemon squeezer - easy.
:33:19
Blender - no comment.
:33:22
Very important! What is this?
:33:25
"Carpet sweeper?
No, d387 crumber."
:33:27
"Study it well. A banal, everyday object.
But!"
:33:31
Crumbs collect in this special cavity.
:33:36
Beware of eggshell! It jams the works.
:33:41
Made in Macao.
:33:43
You're Portuguese. Macao? Gambling dens?
:33:46
Not your thing.
:33:47
Are you listening?
:33:50
Come see our chinaware.
:33:53
"You're crazy, working here for free!"
:33:56

doing her a favor."
:34:25
Listen hard. Picture the scene.
:34:29
"Chinese housewife arrives.
Shopping bag full,"
:34:32
"purse almost empty. She walks around,"
:34:35
unaware of the lurking danger.
:34:38
"You pounce, smiling. She's yours,"
:34:40
a captive customer at your command.
:34:43
"Sell her a dream! A wok,
a flowerpot holder,"
:34:46
"a singing doll, a toilet seat!"
:34:49
She's glowing. And grateful.
:34:51
She can pay for it over ten years.
:34:54

:34:57
A trinket?
:34:58
"Any old crap. Incense, matches..."
