triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Alex: So, will it be your first time in Rio?

Beata: Yes, first time. I feel worried, but I know I shouldn't be. I don't really know why. I was in Japan for five years. I'm used to traveling.

Alex: Well, don't worry, you'll love Rio. I've been there twice. I guess you'll be meeting Mateo, right? Daniel's probably explained by now. Mateo is a nice guy, but he can be very domineering. (He) Likes the sound of his own voice. It's difficult to stay on track sometimes.

Beata: I'll bear that in mind. Here's my main worry, Alex. I think I'm well prepared. I bought a book about Brazil—history, customs, and so on—but I have a feeling it's going to be really difficult. I'm only there a couple of days. Will that be enough time to get to know Mateo? What about the local market, or how we can adapt the Diab Sensor to its needs?

Alex: Seriously, don't worry. You'll be fine. Just remember, Mateo likes to multitask. Just go with the flow.
