Expressions to listen for
4a cobrar en ventanillapayable at the window (meaning: the sender expects to be paid, like a collect telegram)
colloquialAppears ~1× in this episode
A fixed phrase drawn from the old telegram/postal convention where the recipient pays on collection. Used here to signal that a written request comes with a financial expectation attached, delivered with comic irony.
Me mandó una carta de agradecimiento pero con nota 'a cobrar en ventanilla', así que no la fui a recoger.He sent me a thank-you letter but with a 'payable at the window' note, so I didn't go pick it up.
