A: Você sabe qual é o lema Olímpico?
B: Ah, eu sei, mais dinheiro, mais política, e mais corrupção.
A: Não. Para de ser tão cínica Mariana. Você não acha bonito ver o espírito das olimpíadas?
B: Eu não duvido que muitos atletas sintam o espírito dos jogos. Eu só não gosto quando o mundo político estraga o evento.

B: Tá bom, tá bom, viva as olimpíadas de 2016 no Rio de Janeiro.
