Paolo: Do you want a cup of coffee, topo?
Me: No thanks.
(two minutes pass)
Paolo: Topo, are you sure I can’t pour you a cup of coffee?
Me: No, that’s okay, thanks.
(one minute passes)
Paolo: I made pleeeenty of coffee.
Me: Um, ya, still no thanks.
(two more minutes pass)
Paolo: …So you’re really sure you won’t have a coffee?
Me: Jesus you’re persistent! Why do you want me to have coffee so bad?
Paolo: (sighs) I just don’t understand how you can start the day without a coffee.
Me: Because I’m not Italian!
Paolo: Yeah, well, I guess nobody’s perfect…
