PLG and Bob discuss a trick Bob’s been working on; I can’t begin to follow the jargon, but Lizard King hangs on their every word. “You guys are fucking out of your minds,” he squeals. “I don’t get how you are like the most mellow people I’ve ever met, because you’re total fucking nutcases.”

Oreana
: Concordo com "Ouve atentamente". Mas, tal como Elisabete Cunha mencionou, presta-se atenção "a", não "em". Assim, "presta atenção ao que eles dizem"
