Us and them

Us And Them: "Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside"

"Mr. Costa told us to ask you what time we should drop by your house tomorrow.", said Panotti.
"Why drop by???"
I was astonished. Why would they come to my house on a Sunday? The kids were exchanging looks, as stunned as me. Morales asked me if I had forgotten the calendar. Told me to take a look at it often.
"It's a meet at eight a.m. at Rebouças Gym at Ponta da Praia against the Cobras. Us and them. It's friendly but there are prizes of course", and Panotti looked at Figueira for some time. Figueira looked him in the eye for the same period of time. I see his original problem is not only Galhardo.
"Pick me up when it's best for you. Are you ready for the games?"
"We have to be. It doesn't matter if we are ready or not", said Zangrandi off the top of his head.
"This is not our first season", said Figueira, interrupting what Panotti was going to say. Panotti could only agree because this was what he was going to say. Galhardo asked me if I had already watched a competition. Said I hadn't. He laughed.
"You'll have some tough, but funny times if you only stick around", he said, giving me a wink.
