Brian: Why not? It's wet and needs to dry out.

Dario: You will have seven years' bad luck if you open an umbrella inside.

Brian: No way - you get seven years' bad luck if you break a mirror.

Dario: Trust me friend. I opened an umbrella inside once and I have been single ever since.

Dario: I am just very superstitious, that's all.

Brian: You are a modern guy, not some old fashioned fossil!

Dario: I just don't want any more bad luck in my life.

Brian: OK, I won't open the umbrella if you promise to stop believing in all this superstition stuff.
