MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - DAYMiriam confesses to Monica that she lied about sleeping with Carlos."Monica, believe me. I was kidding. I wouldn't have the courage... I mean, I want it insanely, but I also want to marry with a Honeymoon in Paris..."Monica shakes her head, "Sorry, Miriam... But, if you were an actress, you deserved an Oscar now."Miriam sits on the couch, "I'll take that as a compliment. You know, when you said 'friends of ours', I thought you were kicking me out of the circle."Monica analyzes her coldly, "Do you appreciate our friendship, Miriam?"Miriam answers anxiously, "Of course, Moniquinha!""I am glad to hear that..."It's Miriam's turn to analyze Monica, "Is there a problem, Monica? Anything I can help you with?""Actually, yes, there is. When I said I wanted to talk to you, it wasn't exactly about this clowning. In fact, it was what I wanted to talk to you about yesterday, but you were still sleeping and you came out like that...""Well, now I'm awake, dressed,

MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - DAYMiriam despairs when she learns that Monica will believe the lie that she told herself."No, Monica, I swear to you! I wasn't in bed with Carlos; I'm not one of those shameless girls!"Monica remains skeptical, "Miriam, you go into contradictions. You just referred to Carlos as ‘hot’, ‘delicious’... The mouth speaks of what the heart is full of. If you haven't slept with Carlos yet, you're all willing to consume this sin, and that is what upsets me. Only the intention is enough!""Okay, I promise to control myself. After all, Carlos and I are getting to know each other better; we are changing from neighbors to friends. In time, we'll be boyfriends, then engaged, and finally married. But for that, Carina needs to get out of my way.""She already explained herself.""And I already told you: before the photos, she wasn't jealous, now she is.""So, Miriam, it turns out that Carlos is one guy. He has to choose. It looks like he chose you, so can you talk civilly t

Carina is increasingly tense.One of the policemen reasons with Carlos, "Calm down that this guy is not an inmate, Roldão!""I'm almost detaining him for contempt!"Ricardo speaks with effort, "Carina is proof that none of this has happened. It's good to let me go, officer!"Carlos lets go anyway and Ricardo almost crashes on the floor.Carina stands beside him, "Come on, Ricardo, let's go."Carlos screams angrily, "I thought I told you that this guy was not worthy of your attention, Carina. What happened?""Chief Roldão, so far Mr. Oliveira has treated me with respect.""You said it well, 'so far'.""I am not that kind of man, officer," Ricardo complains."I don't know why, I don't feel comfortable hearing it from your mouth!""So, rest assured that nothing bad will happen with Carina. Now can we get back to the campaign?"Carina fears Carlos's further explosion.He scre

Annie and Monica pass by, greet the two with a wave and go straight to the counter.Aurélio receives both, but asks Annie, "Do you mean Jonas demands that you come with her now, Annie?""Stop, Seu Aurélio! Of course not, we promise not to touch on this unpleasant subject anymore."Aurélio smiles, "So I don't touch either. I just want to see you two happy, my daughter. I told Tito that.""What did you say to Seu Tito?"Aurélio looks up, inspired, "I want to see you, Monica, receive the Royal Hill Literature Prize; I want to see Célio's inauguration in a high public position; I want to vibrate in the stadium the first goal scored by Cássio; I want to be best man for Annie and Jonas wedding."Annie and Monica are thrilled.Monica praises him, "Oh, Seu Aurélio, what beautiful thoughts you have about us!""I think I'm going to cry..."

Pizza for you later.""On second thought, I think I have a test..."Everyone laughs.Miriam boasts, "Guys, it's for nothing, but I know how to take some pictures very well.
