POLICE STATION - AFTERNOONCarina comes in very upset at the police station. Carlos is standing and drinking water from the drinking fountain with a plastic cup. As soon as he sees her, he reacts nonchalantly."Do you want water too?""No, thanks, I just came to tell you that your wish would be fulfilled anyway."Carlos drinks the water and discards the plastic cup, "What do you mean?""Mayor Tito informed me that the chosen printer only works with photographs, and nothing as elaborate as my illustration. We waste time doing a job for nothing. What a waste of graphite and coal!"Carlos feels sorry for Carina, "I'm sorry, Carina. I know you did your best in that drawing.""I told you that I was going to give my heart, and my life to this project because I believe in you and the police station. But, you preferred whoever wanted to put you as a sex symbol and not a symbol of security and protection!"Carlos finds Carina's tone strange, "Wait a minute, Carina, what are those terms? I'm not

CASCAIS BAKERY - AFTERNOONJonas becomes more desperate when he hears Annie tell him that he wants to take a break from dating. Jonas is about to cry, pathetic, "Annie, my love, my life! You can't do this to me!"But Annie gets annoyed, "For Christ's sake, Jonathan! I should be bursting into tears, not you!""And you think I don't suffer when I hear you talk about such madness?""What's crazy: asking for a break or being accused of being seduced by—"Jonas gets up, "I told you I wasn't accusing YOU of anything. I talk about him and you revert to yourself. That's a low semantic trick, Annie!""Jonas, calm down. Let's talk rationally."Jonas is shaking when he sits down, "No, that is not possible. You cannot leave me, I love you!""But, you don't seem to believe me when I say I love you."Jonas starts to get angry, "What did that bastard say?"Annie reacts cautiously, "He didn't go into details. He said he tried to convince you otherwise, without success.""He will never succeed because

FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - EVENING Fábio is sitting in the armchair with a glass of wine, he says he is celebrating. Célio goes through the open door. "Hey, what is this home invasion here?" Célio sneers, "You shouldn't even know what 'invasion home' is." "I'm glad you at least aren't sweating like you used to be. You can sit down if you want. I won't be a bad host." Célio keeps standing, "Listen, man, we need to clear up a few things." "What is it now?" "Your ex must have been spying, or else she was pissing me off at the Malthus Snack Bar telling me that you asked Monica to date. Tell me that is a lie." Fábio gives a good laugh, "Does it bother you so much that Monica wants to date me?" "Of course yes! Monica is not a woman for you." "And who decides that, do you?" "I just want the best for her. She always liked you, but you preferred to look at Fábia Peres's body. Now that the fun is over, do you want Monica as second in line to have fun? Fábio wiggles. He doesn't feel it fun

MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTFábia Peres looks like she wants to be assaulted again, as she courses at Monica, "You didn't wait a week, you whore!"Monica defends herself, "Fábia Peres, I always waited for Fábio, always! If he hadn't met you, we might be dating now. Don't come with that ‘too fast’ that you are not the one who decides this.""As I suspected, you always wanted it, you always arranged our separation!"Monica is tired of all this, "Fábia, you've accused me of this over and over again without proof... Turn the record over and try to be happy.""How can I be happy if you live by pulling my rug? Did you decree in Parliament that I would be unhappy? You envy me, my beauty, my boyfriend... You want everything from me, you can't live without me!"Monica counters with contempt, "You are sick, girl, you need treatment!""You who are sick; you're thinking that Fabio will keep something serious with you. Just like he did with me—""Ha, my daughter, I already know this 'he acts the s

MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYMonday. The snack bar is full again. Factory workers and office workers at seven are having breakfast with Aurélio. And again at this point, Jonas enters.Aurélio holds himself and addresses his clients, "Just a moment."Aurélio makes a gesture and the two again go to the back. They talk in a confidential tone."Couldn't these meetings of ours take place at lunchtime, Jonas? This time is tight for me.""That's why: I came to disturb you and bother you."Aurélio takes a deep breath, "As seen, the talks with Annie are of no use."Jonas opens a wide smile, "On the contrary, pervert! You lost! Annie is mine; she won't cheat on me with you.""Did she say exactly those words?""She swore that she loves me and will never leave me. Soon, you can stop trying to seduce her because she won't give in. And I, for my part, will forget that you exist and stop bothering my beloved by complaining about you."Aurélio analyzes the situation, "Look, Jonas... It's a start, but I gua
