Scene: A dimly lit tropical bar called ‘The Amazonian Tango’, nestled on the border between Brazil and Argentina. The walls are adorned with portraits of jaguars, and the air is thick with the aroma of exotic cocktails. A neon sign flickers above the bar, casting a colorful glow over the eclectic gathering.
**Enter Jair Bolsonaro**: The boisterous ex-President of Brazil, known for his flamboyant and often controversial remarks. Dressed in a loud Hawaiian shirt, he exudes an air of bravado, as if he’s about to embark on a jungle expedition.
**Enter Alberto Fernández**: The calm, collected President of Argentina. With his meticulously combed silver hair and tailored suit, he presents a stark contrast to Bolsonaro. His demeanor is that of a seasoned diplomat, always ready to engage in a careful dance of words.
**Enter Cristina Fernández de Kirchner**: The fiery Vice President of Argentina, known for her fiery rhetoric and sharp wit. Draped in an elegant, red gown, she commands attention with every movement, like a tango dancer poised for a dramatic entrance.
**Scene begins with Bolsonaro at the bar, mixing his own caipirinha. Fernández and Kirchner approach, cautiously.**
**Bolsonaro**: (raising his glass) “Ah, the taste of freedom! Much better than those red wines you Argentinians love so much.”
**Fernández**: (smiling) “Jair, always a man of simple pleasures. But tell me, how’s the Amazon these days? Still burning as brightly as your rhetoric?”
**Bolsonaro**: “Oh, Alberto, always with the jokes! The Amazon is fine. Just a little barbecue to keep things interesting.”
**Kirchner**: (rolling her eyes) “Yes, Jair, because nothing says ‘environmental stewardship’ quite like a wildfire.”
**Fernández**: “Speaking of fires, Cristina and I were just discussing the geopolitical smoke signals you’ve been sending. Quite the dance you’ve been leading.”
**Bolsonaro**: “Dance? Don’t you mean a samba? I’m just making sure Brazil stays on its toes, unlike some countries with their perpetual tango of inflation.”
**Kirchner**: (sipping her drink) “And you’re quite the samba instructor, Jair. Teaching the world how to spin around issues and sidestep responsibility.”
**Bolsonaro**: “Ah, Cristina, always so passionate. Like a gaucho at a rodeo, charging ahead without looking back.”
**Fernández**: “But let’s talk about this meeting of ours. The topic on everyone’s lips—our little digital escapade.”
**Bolsonaro**: “Ah, the digital world. A jungle in itself, isn’t it? Full of predators and prey.”
**Kirchner**: “And yet, Jair, you seem to thrive in it, swinging from one controversy to another like a monkey in the canopy.”
**Bolsonaro**: “Takes one to know one, Cristina. But let’s not pretend your local politics are any less wild.”
**Fernández**: “True, we all have our own jungles to navigate. But this digital currency initiative—it’s like trying to tame a jaguar with a lasso.”
**Bolsonaro**: “Or dance the tango on quicksand!”
**Kirchner**: “Yet here we are, trying to catch this digital jaguar by its tail.”
**Suddenly, a waiter interrupts, offering a platter of empanadas.**
**Waiter**: “Would you care for a taste of our special? It comes with a side of irony.”
**Bolsonaro**: (grabbing an empanada) “Why not? I’m already knee-deep in it.”
**Fernández**: “A fitting metaphor for our discussions.”
**Kirchner**: “Indeed, let’s hope this doesn’t end like a bad soap opera, with dramatic exits and broken promises.”
**Bolsonaro**: “Or like a science fiction plot—where the AI overlords take over our digital dreams.”
**Fernández**: “Well, here’s to an ending that’s both unexpected and strangely fitting.”
**They clink their glasses, and the conversation dissolves into the background noise of the bar. As they exit, Bolsonaro throws one last line over his shoulder.**
**Bolsonaro**: “Remember, it’s all just a game. And some of us are better at playing it.”
**The scene ends with the flickering neon sign casting colorful shadows over an empty stage.**
