- Però com que l'alcalde és l'alcalde i pot fer alcaldades, ja podem començar a afilar el llapis i fer esbossos de com ens agradaria que fos la plaça.
- But as the mayor is the mayor and can commit mayoral abuses, we can already start sharpening a pencil and making sketches of how we'd like the plaza to be.
