Back where we started

It´s midnight on a Sunday, thirst strikes, what ya gonna do? Head to the nearby Mcdonalds of course. After finding the main restaurant was closed, we did what any self respecting drinker of drinks would do and got in line (amongst the cars...a lot of cars) at the drive thru.

There was a snag, however. The damnable Portuguese spoken by the drive thru attendant was (to us) unintelligble. As was our attempts at spanish to him (duh) and it was all just a big mess. Here´s a transcript:

Me: Ola, 2 coca colas.
McDonalds guy: [something in Portuguese]
Me: Como?
McDonals guy: [something in Portuguese]
Me: Sim
(when in doubt I always agree to whatever Im being asked)
McDonalds guy: [something in Portuguese}
Me: Sim
mcdonalds guy: [repeats first statement]
Me: uuuuh...perdon, no voces portugues
mcdonalds guy stares blanky
as do I
mcdonalds guy: something in portuguese
mcdonalds guy gets up and leaves for 2 minutes
there are cars waiting behind us in the queue
mcdonalds guy returns
mcdonalds guy: something in portuguese
me: sim, 2 coca colas
mcdonalds guy: 8 reais por favor
me: sim, todo.
pause
me: Cuanto es?
mcdonalds guy: 8 reais por favor.
