"It will be nicer to be rich than poor, definitely."

"It is!  - You can have a singing tutor, too, if you want to be able to sing for more than five people.  Probably after the Forjañol one."

"Is that - the most interesting thing about Earth, the songs? The thing I can do to work?"

"It... is to me, because I'm a singer.  I think if you want to leave and walk into a church and ask for a family to take care of you and not be rich on your own, you'll find one.  Or we can try to make you enough money that you can take care of yourself while you - did you say you were in school?  You look young enough to still be going to school - and then you can find whatever work works best for you.  And if that work is singing, I can help with that, but you'll get a larger share of the money if you're singing for people to hear even a little, and I think it'll make more people want to buy your songs, even if it's not - I don't know what words you know..... even if you're only kind of good and not very good."

"I was in school. I can learn to sing, but are there not-singing things from Earth someone could buy?"

"Like what?"

"Do they want to know - science things? English? Things about how we live?"

"Do you know a lot of science things?"

"Not in very - not so I can build things but so I can talk about the ideas."

"I think... if Earth doesn't have teleloquers I can't go, 'Yes, this is definitely a way you can make enough money to support yourself right away'.  Some people might care about English or how you live but a lot of people definitely already care about my music, and saw you appear onstage at an event they were having fun at, and so have a reason to care about you in that way.  It's a lot of free - press, attention.  Popularity."

"Teleloquers seem like teléfonos, but not in the same - uh - the thing of circles and triangles."

"The thing of circles and triangles.  - Shape?"

"Yes. Teléfonos but a different shape."

"What are the coolest - best - science things you know of?"

"I mostly don't know their Spanish names. Can you ask about things it would be cool to do and I can say if we do them?"

"..........I think if you can talk about ideas but not build things, then any ideas I can come up with aren't useful to you.  I don't know, I'd want - better drugs that keep you awake, and cartridges that fit more information, and safer pyrotechnics with finer detail control, and better automatic leveling on sound systems, and a universal translator - And I'll bet you fifty Célares you can't help with any of those right now.  ...Maybe your shapes are better and you could launch a line of TLs, I don't know.  With money from somewhere."

"I can't build things but I could talk to people who know some things, and tell them more things, and they could build them? But I don't know what those ideas were, I thought maybe you would say, going to the moon, or something."

"I think you're going to need to take some time to learn Forjañol and about what Génesis is like no matter what you want to do.  If during that time you want to copy other people's songs to get money for not very much effort, or possibly a lot of money for somewhat more effort, I can help you with that.  Other things I probably can't help you as much with."

"- yeah, it makes sense that you can help me with song things. I don't mind doing song things."

"If you decide you mind doing song things you can, again, walk into any church and probably very nice people will help you get by.  I won't mind.  If it were me I'd rather be rich, by getting a lot of very small nicenesses that also give people a thing they want and a nice feeling, but I want to be very clear that you can do that, and I won't mind or try to stop you."

"I am not a church person."

"Me either!"  Wink.  "I think we can probably get along great without any need for that."

"Thank you."

"Yeah!  I'm going to catch up on some things, maybe try and think of some songs from your world which are especially popular, or if there are any you think would sound good in my style?"

"For a lot I will only remember the part that is sung two or three places in the song and not the rest, but I will try." She starts scribbling down remembered lyrics.
