"So what?"

"Vell, she hev da boy she like, an dey suppose to marry...bah he vant her to move to Bosna..det's ver he from, an Buda (Tanja's father) no let her".

"Tanja hev her ovn business, she's da hairdresser..she hev da business in Becej, an da parents to help...she don need to move so far from dem"

"No, but what does Buda have to do with her decision?"

"So? She can go if she wants to and if she doesn't want to wash feet, she doesn't have to"
