Art/Literary - General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters / conversation in a historical novel | | Italian term or phrase: "Da ubriaco è meglio." | Am I missing something here? I'm stuck on how to say this with the right flavor and tone, etc.
Context: the hero and his girlfriend have just left an appointment with an officious government official, who has told them he can only help them by pretending he never met with them that day.
Dialogue:
“Che uom’ odioso!”
“Da ubriaco è meglio. Qualche sera fa, nei corridoi del’ Hilton, aveva deliri metafisici." [This is the hero speaking.]
"Era una perdita di tempo."
That's the end of the short conversation.
