   The tunnel of love......
Burama: Hey look at those two on the Tunnel of Love. They didn't even wait till they got through the doors before kissing!
Edurne: Yeah, my sister knows them, they just got married. Apparently the girl's family were a bit upset because they thought she was too young.
Burama: And they didn't stop it?
Edurne: No, why would they? They were still very happy for them, they just would have preferred her to wait a bit.
Burama: Well my parents would have had something to say. Like yours would have, hey Lucia.
Lucía: Of course. But they wouldn't stop me.
Burama: But I thought Roma marriages were arranged?
Lucía: Well, not so much now. They're slowly disappearing. I'd marry a payo. Perhaps my community would rather I married a Gitano, but it's my decision at the end of the day. Actually, since you ask, my parents have already suggested somebody, but I didn't like him, so that was that.
Edurne: You're kidding, they suggested someone to you already? You're not even old enough to get married.
Lucía: I don't want to yet. I told you, I'll marry who I want, but that doesn't stop my parents being involved. Anyway, my grandparents chose them for each other and it worked out fine.
Isabel: Can I say something?
Everyone else: Go on then
Isabel: So you're saying its all right for you to have boyfriends?
Lucía: Of course, although my parents would want to make sure he was ok
Edurne: Really? No offence, but I'd hate it if my mum tried to tell me who I could go out with, never mind who I should marry.
Isabel: Yeah well you always get your own way! Anyway, forget the Tunnel of Love, I'm off to the Wall of Death!
