Mo: Petra, if you get any closer you’ll be behind me.
Petra: Isn’t that a Groucho Marx joke?
Mo: Never let it be said I don’t know my comical antecedents.
Petra: Also your unclecedents.
Mo: That’s not funny.
Petra: Well, you’re the funny one. I’m just cute.

More from Havana. Window, my friend’s cousin giving a concert, Old Havana in a downpour, the Orthodox Synagogue.
So far we have electricity, and water in the morning and evening but not midday. The classic cars are still here, though mostly as taxis for tourists. Ladas are normal taxis.
