 A: Quanto está o placar?
What’s the score?
  B: Oito a seis.
Eight to six.
  A: Como que oito a seis rapaz! Eu estou, pelo menos, com sete, né?
How’s it eight to six, man! I am at least seven, right?
  B: Não, eram oito a três, e você marcou um arremesso de três.
No, it was eight to three, and you scored a three point shot.
  A: E agora a bola é minha, né?
And now it’s my ball, right?
  B: Como assim, a bola bateu no seu pé antes de sair.
What do you mean, the ball hit your foot before it went out
  A: Bateu no meu pé sim, e daí no seu ombro. A bola é minha.
Yea, it hit my foot, and then hit your shoulder. It’s my ball.
