CÉLIO HOUSE ENTRANCE - NIGHTCélio collects the bags that fell to the floor. Fábio laughs at his shock."Wow, man, were you in shock? Did you think that Monica didn't put up with me? The problem is that I chose Fábia Peres, now I intend to correct this mistake.""The only mistake I'm seeing here is just the two of you being together!""And by the way, have you declared yourself, clearly stated that you love her and want to date her?"Célio is quiet.Fábio goes on, "Of course not. You're always shy or proud. Because when you talk about it, you put your plans ahead of her.""I need to wait for the right moment!""Will Monica wait?""What do you mean by that?""Will Monica ever see you as a man she should trust? Will she be quiet waiting for you to quench your thirst to conquer the world? Until now, you only know how to pretend to be the mayor's secretary. I think not...""This is going to be her decision."Fábio smiles confidently, "I think she already decided by the time she came to my

POLICE STATION - AFTERNOONCarina enters, looks at Carlos's table, and smiles. Carlos intends on making the monitor light up, he doesn't notice her approaching until she says, "After the campaign, we'll have the latest computer."Carlos remains serious, "If my requirements are met, for sure. What do you want, Carina?"Carina takes a deep breath, takes courage, "You know, Chief... Yesterday my friends and I decided to improve our lives.""I'm glad about that. What did you decide?"Carlos types again and Carina wonders if he's paying attention."Monica is going to allow herself a relationship with Fábio Dance, Annie is going to settle the score with her jealous boyfriend, and I also decided to open the door to love."Carlos continues to stare at the monitor, "And what did Miriam decide?"There's an embarrassing silence.Carina gulps and goes on, "Miriam didn't decide because she wasn't at the small meeting. It was just the three of us. There was even cheese and wine.""Doesn't Miriam lik

CÉLIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCássio comes from the kitchen bringing a beer can for him and Célio. Célio is sitting on the couch, gladly accepted. Cassio sits on the couch and the talk goes on.Célio opines, "As you said, the reasoning is logical. Luis and Wellington found jobs too quickly. That couldn't have been pure luck.""Even more in the case of Wellington: the day after he arrived in the neighborhood he already found work that will pay more than the minimum!""How long have we been here? Although I went straight to the Association...""It's been a few months. My dad doesn't answer the phone anymore. That's why I want to find something sustainable until I can focus on my legitimate dream.""And do you think that Tito will owe us?"Cássio takes a large sip before answering, "I'm not saying that he will do it on purpose, Célio. But, it's clear that he is not in a position to hire anyone.""No formal contracting, I am aware of that.""Anyway, I want something safer. That's why today I

MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTAnnie, Carina, and Monica join forces for their goals.Monica tells Carina, "Tomorrow I'll see this issue with Miriam, Carina. I hope she wants to continue with us as friends.""I already expressed my opinion." Annie is very impatient, "Carina never hurt her and she suddenly starts to behave like that, seeing Carina as a rival.""And the worst thing is that I never did or said anything to make her think like that." Carina complains, "Of course, I think the officer is attractive, but I never said that to her, much less that I was in love... I don't know—"Monica tries to calm things down, "Calm down, chicks, that's exactly what I want to clarify. Later, I want to talk to Fabinho about the two of us. One day has passed; I think it was time for him to reflect on whether he return to Fábia or not.""Yeah, Monica," Annie says, "But to date, I suggest you wait a little longer.""For sure, let's take it easy. We're going to spend time together, get to know each ot

RICARDO'S LIVING ROOM - DAYRicardo opens the door more awake and better dressed. Wellington comes in, curious about the summons. Suspicious, Ricardo closes the back door."Here I am, sir.""Very well, today I received a visit from Luis. He told me something of concern. You are being harassed by Cassio."Wellington holds a laugh, "What is it, Mr. Oliveira? Both he and I like women!"Ricardo remains serious, "I'm using another sense of the word 'harassment', Wellington. Of course, you don't know."Wellington gets quiet.Ricardo goes on, "So I decided to help you find another place for you to live. I know that for the time being you don't have any money for rent. But, look around; get the amount I’ll give you."Wellington gets surprised, "Are you going to help me?""Yes, at least the first month. Let the landlord rest assured that he won't have defaulted."Wellington opens a big smile, "Thank you very much, Mr. Oliveira!""Anytime. You'll pay me later."Wellington and Ricardo shake hands
