MALTHUS SNACK BAR
Luis enters and goes straight to the counter. Aurélio was watching the TV until he saw him.
"Luís! It's been a while since you came. I thought you were no longer in Monica's circle of friendship."
"Of course I am, but sometimes I feel like I'm left out. Anyway, the fair this week was good and—" Lower tone, "I came to pay for that snack I owe."
Aurélio comically participates in confidentiality and accepts payment. He’s laughing, "Don't be so ashamed, boy! The bill is paid. Shame on you if you still owed me."
"Okay, now you take more bucks because I want to try this pie."
"Cássio doesn't recommend it. It's shrimp
CASCAIS BAKERY - AFTERNOONCássio comes in. Jonas in attendance, observes him approaching with a serious face."Hi, Jonas! Please see four loaves of bread."Jonas goes to the loaves and selects the four while speaking, "I needed to talk to you.""Enjoy when I still have time. When Célio sends me to reform that field, I’ll train like crazy to be an excellent player."Jonas points the bag steadily at Cassio, he is startled."It's all right?"Jonas retorts, "I ask: Is everything okay with Sandra? Annie told me about their mischief."Cassio takes the bag and
MALTHUS SNACK BARAurélio takes a credit card from the machine and returns it to Monica. She and Annie still can't believe it."I'm hard to believe that this girl was in our team.""I told you to dismiss this cow, and now a deadbeat!"Aurélio always tries to control their tongues, "Girls..."Monica insists, "Say it, Seu Aurélio: with Sandra we got lucky, and she even said she was going to get away from the crazy person. Now, do you think she will be willing to reconcile with Carina?"Annie adds, "Even more so that she actually managed to date the chief?"Aurélio ponders, "Truly truth? I think
POLICE STATION - DAYMiriam assaulted Carina and is making a scene, totally insane; she accuses Carina of wanting to kiss Carlos. Carlos shakes Miriam and tries to stop her."How do you know all this? Carina had her back to you!""I know and that's it, this hooker never deceived me! Weren't you in rampant behavior with Ricardo Oliveira?"Carina gets up with difficulty, "Shut up and leave me alone!""You leave my boyfriend alone or there will be much more! I already returned one of the slaps you gave me! Unworthy, filthy, whore, Jezebel!"Carina runs out of control. Carlos doesn't know where to hide. Miriam smiles at him, crazy.
STREETRicardo and Carina are walking upset for different reasons. They end up meeting on the same sidewalk."Carina! For all that is sacred, what happened to you?"Ricardo gets closer and takes Carina's face very carefully as if it were china porcelain. He goes on serious, furious, and protective, "It was him, right? Did Carlos do this to you?"Carina is very sick, "No, he even tried to protect me, but the other tells him to walk away and he walks away. Always her first, always!""Who are we talking about? Miriam?""Herself. She slapped me, in revenge because I already gave her twice.""An angel like you can't appeal to
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOM - EVENINGCarina is sitting on the couch, with a sad face. The hand goes to her face; she still feels Miriam's aggression. Ricardo appears from the kitchen with two cups of steaming tea, gives one to Carina, and sits not too close to her. Carina smiles slightly, accepts the cup, and drinks slowly while talking."Thank you very much, Ricardo.""We can talk about it, or other subjects.""It seems that when we met, you were also upset."Ricardo takes a sip, no silly smile this time, "Nonsense compared to you. Do you remember that I was researching companies and programmers for the billing generation and payment control software for the police station, for the residents who joined the campaign?"
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOMCarina leaves her empty cup on the coffee table. Ricardo still has his."At least your noble gesture in helping makes me happy."Ricardo smiles, "In addition to helping the neighborhood, I want to make you happy, Carina. But, it seems that everyone is closing the door just because of the cat's history.""Keep it up, that one hour they will understand that you want to help, that you are interested. Don't be that guy I saw the first time, aggressive and awful. If I gave you a second chance, they will also give you.""But, it seems that they are not an angel as you are."Carina turns red, "I find it so beautiful when you say who I am... That's why I
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTRicardo had hung up the phone because Carina was approaching. She smiles at him, and Ricardo has a nervous smile.Carina asks, "Someone important on the phone?"Ricardo disguises himself, "A bore to talk about business, but when I saw you approaching, I hung up. The most important subject I want to deal with is in front of me."Carina smiles, "I hope I have not interrupted any commercial transaction that will define Royal Hill's future or your fortune.""I am looking for my fortune."Carina reacts awkwardly, which makes her sweeter and cuter, "Oh, Ricardo... For a friend, you are praising me too much."
GRANJA SQUARECássio leaves the bus stop and approaches Célio, who is strategically hidden in the square behind a tree. Both are already impatient."Aurélio has already opened," Cássio informs him.Célio looks at his wristwatch, "Yeah... How strange, 7:30 am and no Luis or white van. Did Ed make a mistake?""I doubt that kid was wrong.""I don't say what he saw, but the car model. It could have been a kombi orFiorino.""Kindahard to confuse kombi with the van, Ed is not that dumb."Célio jokes, "Smarter than you,
