COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY
Penha and Rosa talk after the tenant has finally left.
"Rosa, we opened a vacancy in the building above your stationery. If anyone else looks for a kitchenette to rent, you can contact me or give my number to them, as you always do."
"Oh, fine. And how you're doing?"
Penha leans on the counter and looks both ways.
Rosa is intrigued, "Who are you trying to disguise?"
Penha speaks confidentially, "Ricardo."
"What about your crazy—"
"He is irreducible by the idea that the tenant Wellington is after me."
RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION - AFTERNOONLuis wants to warn Célio and Cássio that Wellington is in danger, but without exposing him and Ricardo.Célio objects, "Luis, Wellington has to report this crazy person; the threat of murder is very serious!Cassio insists, "Stop all the mystery and tell me who this guy is!"Luis is afraid, "But... I can't go into details, guys; I just want you to..."Célio paces the room impatiently, "No, that's not possible. We can't shoot in the dark. Let's go by parts: who is the girl?""She is called Penha. She is not a girl, she is older than us. I saw her once, very beautiful, she doesn't even look her age."<
WELLINGTON'S KITCHENETTEWellington is at the sink washing the bowls, still uneasy about past events. Memories go through his mind, phrases.For example, Ricardo earlier, "That can't be, Wellington. I didn't allow anyone to leave."Wellington repeats to himself, "'I didn't allow anyone to leave.' I know that Mr. Oliveira invested in that bar and Rubens is like the manager. But, does Mr. Oliveira also get involved in hiring employees? And he spoke as if he were the King of England!" He parodies, "I didn't allow anyone to leave."Wellington finishes off the bowls and turns off the sink tap. He wipes his hands and goes to bed. It was leaning against the window. He sits on the bed and watches the people through the window. Then he fixes his eyes. Penha is leaving wi
POLICE STATION - DAYCarlos has an overreaction when he sees Carina enter. He gets up and is already hugging her tightly, just about to kiss her. Carina feels this reaction is strange.He exclaims, "Carina! God, how great is to see you!""Chief Roldão, is there a problem?""We need to meet outside the police station for you to call me Carlos. What are you going to do tonight?""I'll have a date with friends. And I know you will be busy tonight.""Busy, me, doing what?"Carina is bitter in reply, "Busy in that Miriam's arms, in unrestrained conduct until daylight!"Ca
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOM - EVENINGRicardo is standing with the phone to his ear, waiting to be answered."Hello, Rubens?"Rubens is at Bar do Dedé, standing. Around him, employees are opening the bar, "Speak, Ricardo.""I found a solution to our problem with Penha and Wellington. Today he almost finds her, but it was close call and I prevented it.""Jesus Christ, man, don't talk to me about such a thing...""Calm down, man. When the idiot asks Penha again because something tells me he's going to ask...""He wants to die, let me make his wish come true."Ricardo strikes
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTSandra didn’t get along with the cashew juice and has that feeling of asphyxia. Oddly, Monica, Annie, and Carina look at her as if they expected this."What... Are you... looking? Call... Cassio... I'm dying!"Sandra coughs and breathes hard, grimacing.Monica is ironic, "Yeah, right? What a thing. You can be calm,‘causewe won’t let you die. Otherwise, we don’t hear from your mouth what’s going on between us. Miriam was our friend, she became a plague because of Chief Roldão and now she looks down on us and chases after Carina.""Please... Call now the—"Ann
CLINIC - NIGHTThe doctor answer, "I should have called the police."The three of them frown, now they are Meryl Streep of "Death Becomes Her".Annie goes through her purse, "Rest assured that we can manage here with expenses.""Better prepare your check to pay for a lawyer, miss. Excuse me."The doctor leaves. Annie finds her checkbook.Monica opines, "We should let her do it."Annie answers her, "I'm guaranteeing her silence."Carina asks, "What if she complains anyway?""I will charge with interest and monetary correction."
MEDICAL CLINIC - NIGHTSandra is sitting on the gurney, with a nurse taking her blood pressure. The three girls are still around.Annie asks, "Nurse, don't you think our friend is too young to have pressure measured?"Monica says, "I thought the pressure was about stress."The nurse rolls her eyes and does not respond to absurdities. Sandra is just shooting the "friends" with her eyes.The female nurse announces, "13 by 8. Now you need to rest and wait for the doctor to release you."The nurse goes out glancing at the visitors.Sandra mutters, "I just went up to 31 by 80 just by looking at you murderers."
ENTRANCE HOUSE RICARDO - DAYSaturday. Ricardo leaves the house and locks the door. He has the book in hand. Luis is standing next to Ricardo's van, with a bag full of cassette tapes."I don't know if Rosa's stationery shop opens on Saturdays, so I decided to go straight to Vila Aurora or even beyond, to find one in Parque Débora. Then I thought: I could take advantage of it and give Luis a ride."Luis smiles innocently, "Thank you very much, sir. But if it isn't uncomfortable, you can call me Lou.""You have to grow up, Luis, childhood is left behind. See your friends; everyone has their lives on. Do you think Mayor Tito calls his secretaryCelinho?""Célio is not a s
