FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTFábio questions Fábia's motivations for trusting him. He was increasingly disappointed, "I don't understand, Fábia! You say that Monica wants to separate us, but she says something negative about me and you readily believe her! That is, you didn't fulfill our agreement from the heart, and Monica was the pretext that you wanted to violate our pact!""Stop this pact thing that I don't get involved with Satan!"Fábio sinks into the armchair, "God makes covenants too... Instead of reading those books, why don't you read the Bible?""Oh, and you with that collection in your wardrobe read the Bible too, right?""It doesn't prevent me from having some basic knowledge... unlike you who are not interested in anything!""What did you say?""You didn't even read the book, just bought by the cover! It was a thick book of over two hundred pages. But, it was too much for your limited head, right?""Are you calling me stupid?"Fábio now bounces on the chair, "Am I always g

MIRIAM’S BEDROOM - DAYMiriam was extremely disgusted because Carina tore the photos of Carlos in front of her, "What are you doing, you idiot?""I am discarding these photos. They aren't conveying the spirit and impact that the campaign is aiming for. And I have been informed, Miriam, that your interests in participating are anything but noble."Miriam glares at Carina and says, "I got it. Do you understand that I'm interested in Carlos, and are you doing this dirty thing? I'm glad I have the negatives!""Miriam, nobody forced you to participate. You could take the photo you wanted with the officer at any time. Making us all believe that you were interested in helping... Was that really necessary?""Don't come to my house to question my reasons, creature! Since the photos didn't ‘fit’, and I put giant quotes because you didn't even look at them, so —" she points her thumb, "I suggest you get out of my home!"Carina with a slight smile managed to destabilize the madwoman, "You didn't n

MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYMonica is calmer, sitting at a table, and drinking sugarcane juice. Rosa is sitting on the other side and Aurélio is standing, his big dad worried."Now can you tell me why that crazy blonde was beating you, dear Monica?""Oh, Seu Aurélio, the story is long; it goes back to our childhood. I always liked Fabinho—" she corrects herself, "Fábio... But, he never took me seriously to date. It's that classic 'let's go be friends'."Aurélio becomes mysterious, "I know very well...""Then he met this girl called Fábia Peres who is just blonde hair and a hot body. Of course, he fell in love and wanted to be with her. Since then she has been seeing me as a threat. But I have always respected their courtship, although hurts inside me.""Poor girl..." laments Rosa."When we moved here, things between them started to get worse. No more high school, we started adulthood. Like that movie, ‘St. Elmo's Fire’. Fábia Peres seems to have been stuck in High School because in the rea

FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONFábio and Monica talk about his breakup."Thank you very much for coming here to check on me, Monica."Monica smiles, "Look, something was telling me that I wasn't going to find you in tears, but I wanted to come anyway."Fábio laughs, "Not really! Well, I'm not going to say dramatic things like 'Fábia was the worst mistake of my life' because in a way I liked her.""Yes, you liked her and I never interfered."Fábio takes two steps forward, "Never interfered... But, you never accepted."Monica lowers her head; she doesn't want to be the one who detonates the competitor, "Well, I wanted to keep the respect and distance between you. But it didn't help."Fábio complains, "Never! It was twenty-four hours complaining about something about you. 'Monica said that', 'Monica did that to me', 'Monica thought', 'Monica wants to separate us'. I don't understand why you became a threat to her."Monica speaks compassionately, "Gee, Fábio; it must have been difficult f

MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTMonica opens the door for Carina and Annie, who coincidentally appeared at the same time. The three go to the couch."Girls, I'm glad you came. I have news to tell you."Annie says, "I have it too; it's more like a bomb."Carina is sadder, "I think mine is from Hiroshima."Monica notices their faces, "Oh, people, I’m so embarrassed to tell you what happened to me, nothing dramatic like that!""Then tell me, friend." Annie says, "Maybe it can cheer us up."Monica is all excited, "Well, there you go: Fábio kicked Fábia Peres! He's free!"It did not work."Oh, good for him..." Carina says without emotion, "But, what does that have to do with you?""Monica always had feelings for Fábio." Annie turns to Monica, "But, I don't know, my friend. I would tell you not to rush.""He already wanted and I said to wait. It's risky if later he wants to go back to her and I keep sucking my finger. No, let's take it easy, that's what I said. As seen, my news didn't cheer up,
