MEDICAL CLINIC - NIGHT
Sandra 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
CÉLIO'S LIVING ROOM - DAYSandra announces to Célio and Cássio that Monica, Annie, and Carina tried to poison her with suspicious cashew juice. The two of them are standing, while she is sunk on the couch, exaggerating the drama."It was horrible, horrendous! I started to feel my throat itch, I cleared my throat, it got worse, I started coughing, it got worse, and then I felt my vocal cords and my larynx close up as if I were singing like Kimberly Wallace!"Cassio says without realizing it, "You sing like Cam—"Sandra goes on without realizing, "And me gesturing, begging, hands on my throat, fighting for a little air!"Célio questions him, "If you were gesturing, how did you have y
MONICA'S LIVING ROOMCélio and Cássio go with a frown to visit Monica. She welcomes them as if nothing had happened."How good it’s to welcome visits from great friends. Sit down, boys, please. Do you want a cashew nut?"Célio and Cássio shout out of their lungs, "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"Monica has an Olympic jump, "What do you guys have against the juice?"Cássio replies angrily, "Do you want us to tell you? Or we can let Sandra tell."Monica shrugs, "Ah, I thought she was going to do drama, but, not so soon."Cassio takes offense, "Monica, we're talking about my girlfriend! What did y
MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - DAYSandra visits Miriam and also finds her dejected.The talk was already started by Miriam, "He kicked me out of his house, my friend! He didn't need to speak. It was as clear as water that he wanna sleep with Carina! That false Puritan and that false conservative, both are on fire!"Sandra is sorrowful, "Oh, my friend, and I was cheering for you so much... But, on the other hand, I warned you about Carina and how he suddenly showed interest.""This is not fair, Sandra, I got there first. I ARRIVED FIRST! How many million times will I have to repeat that to that unworthy?""You can repeat zillions of times; Carina knows what it is and
MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - DAY"I hope the rest of your English is doing so well and not just the colloquial expressions. Yes, that's what you heard. I’ll ask the girls for forgiveness and rejoin Monica's circle.""You want us to come back—"Sandra barks, "You, no, dear, solely me!""And why am I going to be left out?""Because to be a spy, just one of us is enough. I’ll come back, kneel, ask for forgiveness and swear that I will never see you again."Miriam asks like a dumb, "Will you abandon me?""Straighten up, woman! We’ll go on to meet here and confer, and see how the plan is going. I need to continue on that path to know all
WELLINGTON’S KITCHENETTE - AFTERNOONWellington opens the door for Luis, he comes in and Wellington closes the door in a hurry.Luis realizes his fear, "What animal bit you, man?"Wellington answers anxiously, "The precaution bug. Something strange is happening in the game. Sit there.""Don't you mind that I sit on your bed?""Next month I'll buy some chairs. For now, be careful not to spill coffee on the mattress."Wellington serves coffee in cups, and hands one to Luis. He goes on, sitting down, "How was the fair today?""Busy. I will think it’s weird tomorrow with ours here, still with about ten tents."
MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTAurélio continues to advise the group to find a solution.Monica is curious, "What do you advise us to do, Seu Aurélio?""I have the magic solution, but I think you won’t accept..."Annie is stubborn, "To apologize? Only if they repent too. Sorry, guys, but this has to be a two-way street. We won’t admit that they go out into the neighborhood calling Carina a bitch, crazy to sleep with the officer.""Of course, it has to be from both parties. But, let’s say if tomorrow they come through that door genuinely sorry...""We will be willing to forgive and forget," Monica says.<
MIRIAM’S BEDROOM - NIGHTCarlos looks at Miriam trying to find Carina in the other's eyes."What is it?"Carlos wakes up from his reverie and disguises himself, "Sorry, Miriam, but I couldn't help thinking about your friends. Now that we decide, will they be calmer?"Miriam walks away from Carlos, and walks around the room, a little more serious. She meditates if she tells about the cashew juice, and then decides not to."I don't know, Carlos. I worry more about Carina's reaction. But, I think you will understand. They complained that I was talking about you without confirming anything. Now that it is, I think everything will be fine.""Yeah, remember that all o
