What’s the matter, darling? Nothing. Oh, come on, tell me. Well,  look at us. Is there anything wrong with us? In my opinion, there is something wrong. We are becoming vegetables? What? Yes, every night we sit here in front of the TV set, you don’t say anything. I don’t say anything. We never go out. We never visit our friends. Nobody ever visits us. It’s boring. But, darling, we’re always so tired! I know, but why don’t we go out sometimes and eat something at a nice restaurant? There are some very good restaurants near here.  But… And a cinema? Why don’t you take me to the cinema? We never see any films! All right, all right, darling. Tonight we’re going to the Cinema and then we are going to a restaurant.

Quero fazer uma ligação. I want to make a phone call. Onde posso telefonar? Where can I make a telephone call? Eu quero ligar para este número… I’d like this number… Você pode discar para mim? Can you dial it for me? Não desligue! Don’t hang up! Ele/ela desligou na minha cara. He/she hung up in me. Só dá ocupado. I keep getting a busy signal. Ele/ela me deixou aguardando na espera. He/she out me on hold.

Infelizmente, não posso atender. Sorry I missed your calling / I’m not in right now / I’m not available at the moment. Por favor, deixe seu nome e telefone. Please, leave your name and telephone number. Por favor, deixe seu nome, número e hora da chamada. Please, leave you name, number and time you called. Retornarei a ligação assim que possível I’ll get back as soon as I can. Por favor, deixe seu recado ao sinal do bip. Please, leave a message at the sound of the beep..
