ADAMA: Don, aren't you thirsty?
DON: Of course I'm thirsty. What's up? (Lit. "How is it?")
ADAMA: Because I'm really thirsty. We can drink a Tip-Top in a hotel-restaurant.
DON: Oh, Adama, don't you know that we don't have a lot of money anymore?
ADAMA: But how can we manage (lit. "do it") to drink (lit. "drink ourselves")?
DON: Shall we not go buy some lemonade from Fanta?
ADAMA: We buy lemonade every day. We have got to drink something else today, man!
DON: No problem. Whatever you like, I'll drink.
