STREET - EVENINGSandra is walking down the sidewalk to go to her home. Annie turns the corner and will find her in the opposite direction. Sandra smiles as soon as she sees her."Hello, Annie! How are you?""I'm fine, thank God. You know, Sandra, I've been wishing to talk to you for a while.""Let's go home.""If we go straight to the point, I think we won't even need it. I have noticed you are very close to Miriam, our friend too. Including in that shame she gave on Saturday, at the Residents' Association. Now they are commenting on the possibility that Miriam is in love with Chief Roldão, is that it?"Sandra replies cautiously: "Look, friend, you know I'm not gossipy. I was talking to Miriam that day and she was right on top of the officer when she saw her with Carina.""How ugly, she didn't need it. After all, what was Carina's fault? Don't you know about the campaign we're creating?""Cássio told me. They want to campaign to convince residents to support the neighborhood police st

MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCélio asked Monica if she still feels something for Fábio.She looks at him and reflects before answering, "Célio, you know that in the past we had... feelings."Célio responds dryly, "Feeling is not a relationship.""I know, I know... is that—" She gets up, "Every woman who gets involved with a man, has hopes... Unless she is completely disembarrassed, not to say anything else."Célio holds a laugh, "Do you, Monica, have hope with Fábio Dance?"Monica cast him a cold stare, "No judgment, Célio."Célio regrets, "Sorry, Monica.""It turns out that I cried more for what he said to me than for the fact that he says that he has already thought about the possibility of leaving Fábia Peres.""If he really valued you, he knew how cool you are... He would have done that already. Fábia Peres is just blond hair and a hot body, for God!""Yeah, you're right. So, that was it. I started a silly argument and now I'm like the villain in the story.""It's a story without f

COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY Monica enters. Rosa is at her post, reading. Monica approaches the counter and notices the book without a cover. She realizes it’s her copied book. Rosa, when she sees who she is, gets scared. "Oh, Monica, I... I'm sorry." Monica speaks not with anger, "Are you sorry for what?" "I copied your book to read." "Was that when Aurélio came here to make the copy for the register of Royal Hill? "That's right. He was very worried about you, dear! You didn't think about that possibility?" Monica giggles, "If I thought about a bad character stealing my book? No, I didn't think. You can tell how very newbie I am with this. Aurélio even told me about an international certificate." "ISBN. Run after that too, dear." "At the moment, while it's not released... I'll want one more ream, please." "Wow, the second book is coming soon!" "That's right!" Rosa walks away to pick up the ream. In the meantime, Fábia Peres enters. When she sees Monica, the mood closes. Fábia c

GRANJA SQUARE - EVENINGLuis does not want to go into details with Célio and Cássio about his job. Wellington looks at him waiting for what he will say."No, people, unfortunately, there are no vacancies.""You talk as if it was a company," Célio says.Luís explains rather quickly, "It was a friend, one of my neighbors, who helped me.""Ah, I thought it was a nice, rich guy who was financing you." Cássio says, "Because that tent couldn't have come out of your pocket.""It seems that my friend already had the tent and gave it to me. It's not new."Wellington sees that Luis wants to leave, but his friends don't let go and insist on asking for more. He helps, "Good to know, buddy. One of these times, we'll call you for a ball match."Luis jokes, "I'll see some free time on my schedule."Friends laugh and pat lightly on Luis's back. He smiles back and walks away, relieved by the explanation given.MALTHUS SNACK BARAnnie and Jonas enter. She is excited, he is frowning. The two go to the co

Annie reacts extremely shocked by Jonas. "Divorced?""Yes, dear, Malthus has such optimism for life, always in a good mood... And I admit with no homo that he must have been handsome when he was younger. He must have dated someone. He must have married or at least betrothed someone. But, with this way of him making promises that he cannot keep, even if it was with the good intention of helping... That one time tires the person, especially a woman who will depend on her entire future in the hands of an unstable man!"Tears start to flow from Annie's face, "He told me... The night we were at the pizzeria... He was engaged, more than once, but never got married. It's something like 'having a rotten finger' for the altar."Jonas smiles victoriously, it confirms his thesis.FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOMCélio accuses Fábio of lying to both Fábia Peres and Monica.Fábio gets outraged, "How dare you launch such an abject accusation on me?"Célio becomes a mocker, "Oh, the English lord was offended...
