STREET
Ricardo 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,
CARINA’S STUDIO - DAYMiriam breaks a painting of Carina thinking she was going to give it to Carlos. Carina gets horrified."Have you gone completely crazy? This painting was not for your boyfriend!"Miriam talks mockingly, "Oops! It was bad... now that you tell me? Why did not you say it before?"Carina is getting angry, "Something tells me that you were going to break anyway! It wasn't for Roldão because it doesn't portray his reality! If it were for him it would be an erotic picture!""What are you talking about?""Your fame as a conqueror is spreading across the neighborhood!""Spread the word that I'm
CARINA’S STUDIOFabio and Monica enter and find the pandemonium: there are more broken, thrown, trampled paintings, all in a bigger mess than in the previous scene. Miriam and Carina are pulling another painting as a tug of war."No, not this one!""Let it go too!"Monica shouts, "What's going on here?"Miriam lets go and Carina goes back, and almost falls. Fábio feels sad about it."What a tragedy..."Miriam addresses him with disdain, "Don't tell me you are also one of those sissies who think this is worth something?""As seen, you have no sense of taste for
MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYCélio, Cássio, and Aurélio get the conclusion that there’s a hidden and suspicious organization where Wellington and Luis are trapped.Cassio gets up, "A minute, I'll be back, guys."Cássio goes to the bathroom. Aurélio takes advantage."Célio, how's Monica and Fábio doing? I still don't know the boy."Célio riled up, "His stomach is fragile and delicate to eat Ed's cheese pastry. He always goes straight to the Cascais bakery.""I still feel—"Célio is human to Aurélio, he knows that Aurélio is about to blame
CASCAIS BAKERYSandra enters. Jonas and Annie are standing by the counter."Annie! I needed to talk to you, girl."Annie talks to Jonas, "Just a minute baby." She gets closer to Sandra, "Monica already told me, Sandra."Sandra talks in thought, "But, what a bunch of gossip girls!" and speeches, "Yeah, good news has to spread really fast!"The "friends" laugh. Jonas looks pleased.Annie says, "So since Monica asked for forgiveness, I also ask for forgiveness for compacting with the cashew juice. I admit that the revolt was not even with you, girl, but with Miriam."Sandra acts falsely, "Ah, this crazy girl! Do yo
