Maybe the worst part of the trip to Brazil was the fact that the following conversation with Christian Fernando F., brother of Marcelo and the Hook family transportation specialist, took place the night before we left:
Fernando: So, do you need a prescription to buy drugs in the United States?
Pistol: Yes.
Fernando: Really? You need a prescription?
Pistol: Indeed.
Fernando: To buy drugs? (Laughs.) Funny.
Lefty: What exactly are you trying to say?
Fernando: Here you just tell the pharmacist what you want.
Pistol: WHAT?
Fernando: Oh, you didn’t know?
This is the kind of thing (lifetime supply of Xanax and Retin-A) they neglect to tell you in the guide book.
