En: He wears a black cape and a wizard's hat.

Ca: Podria ser un dels molts disfressats, o podria ser l'amo de la maleta.

En: Inside, there are only Halloween costumes: colorful wigs, masks, and a pair of shiny accessories.

Ca: L'Oriol somriu, alleujat i una mica avergonyit.
En: L'Oriol smiles, relieved and a little embarrassed.

Ca: "Només volia assegurar-me", diu, ara més relaxat.
En: "I just wanted to make sure," he says, now more relaxed.

Ca: En Pere riu.
En: Pere laughs.

Ca: "Cap problema.

Ca: Entenc el seu deure.
En: I understand your duty."

Ca: Només cal ser diligent i observar.
En: It just takes diligence and observation.

Ca: Un vent fresc, ple de fulles taronges i grogues, s'enfila per l'entrada de l'aeroport quan l'Oriol se'n va, sàpiguent que avui va fer el seu treball bé.
En: A fresh wind, full of orange and yellow leaves, sweeps through the airport entrance as L'Oriol leaves, knowing that today he did his job well.
