FÁBIO’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT Fábio asks Fábia Peres if Monica had anything to do with Cássio's plan. And the dishonest girl decides to slander Monica. "Darling, I’d never have an idea like that! And just with Cassio? I know you weren't intimate in childhood, you would suspect! Look, I can't prove it, but it must have been Monica. She wouldn't call Célio because it would be worse." "What a lack of self-love this guy has! Anyway, Fábia, I got it right from the start when he showed up here forcing intimacy, but I must admit that his way of touching the subject of magazines was smart." "But, I didn't speak to him, dear, believe me..." Fábio approaches her, "Yeah, Fábia, I believe. After all, you wouldn't have the mental capacity to come up with something so —" Fábio interrupts himself before Fábia understands what he is saying. He opens his arms and she runs towards them. The two smile and embrace. Fábia says relieved, "Forgive me, my love! I’ll never distrust you again. You are righ

She comes face to face with Monica. "I'm not who you expected, am I?" Monica asks jokingly. Miriam gets up, "Definitely not. I was dreaming of something much better." "And it’s this dream we need to talk about. Girl, you are so distracted that you left your door unlocked. What if a thief appears?" Miriam, dreamily, leans against the headboard, "Nothing is gonna happen to me while Carlos is in the neighborhood." "If you continue in this Glen Close style, he will move to Várzea do Nego, dear." Miriam scratches her eyes, "Monica, what's so important for you to take my morning breath?" "Dear, yesterday Carlos was going to Carina's house." Miriam has two

MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYJonas is jealous of Aurélio with Annie.Aurélio's face turns cold and he defends himself, "Jonas, now I understand you. And, son, I didn't give reasons—""Cut it out, old bastard! You don't fool me. Do you think I care about the fact that Annie comes here to eat your awful snacks? Of course not! Brazil is still capitalist; Annie is free to eat wherever she wants. The problem is not the cafeteria, it's the owner!"Aurélio responds more firmly, "Jonas, since you want to talk like a man, then I'll send you the message: stop insulting Annie!"Jonas got surprised and sarcastic, "Oh, look who's talking! Who's tainting her reputation? I saw you two at the pizzeria, through the windowpane! And who else saw you thought a lot of bullshit!""Stop being ridiculous, that I'm a father to her.""She already has a father, her name is Paulo!""I didn't say I am, I said AS a father, my affection for her, for all of you, is that of a father, an uncle."Jonas shakes his head and is

And how did you know, were you spying on me?""They left the door wide open and I heard voices. I had to check.""You 'had'... You were just dying of curiosity; assume so you are more honest."Sandra becomes annoyed., "And then, you will answer me...""OK! Monica came here and assured me that she doesn't want anything to do with Carlos. And honestly, on Saturday, she didn't have the same strong reaction as Carina. We can discard her.""Are you sure about that?""Yes, she must be focused on Célio. I heard that she is writing a novel, I want to read it when it’s published.""Me too... But, I don't think i
