Sergio Picarra – Mankiko
- “Hey there Mingota! Why are you drinking so much?”
- “Oh, my friend, leave me alone! I’m drowning the sorrows that my man left me with!”
– “Joaquinito??” - “Who else? He’s a womanizer, that jerk!”
– “No way!” - “Come on, get up from there! I’m just glad that my Mankiko doesn’t give me these problems!”
– “What?” - “Sister! Don’t say a word!! My Mankiko is honest and loyal, you hear?”
- “You should know that ever since he formed the party and entered parliament he has been a new man: honest and democratic.”
– “You wanna take a look over there at the end of the block?” - “Now, ladies, with the multi-party-ism, I, like the true democrat I am, have had enough with only one wife. I adopted a new system: multi-spouse-ism!”
- “Mankikooo!”
- “Help! Ow! I swear, Fatita! I won’t do that anymore!! Now I’ll be multi-honest, multi-faithful, and multi-peaceful! Ow!”
- “And? So then take one more multi-beating!!”
