Autobiography
Contesto (two, obviously male, friends comparing high society and middle-class women to prostitutes):
"Tu tratti le prostitute come signore,"mi diceva.
"Prova a farlo anche tu," gli rispondevo. "Spenderai meno e non ti consumerai tanto il fegato."
"Tu tratti le signore come prostitute," mi diceva ancora.
"Prova a farlo anche tu. Spenderai meno e il fegato ti fiorirà per le soddisfazioni provate," gli rispndevo a mia volta.
Grazie,
Barbara
