POLICE STATION
Carlos wants to disguise to Monica that he has no control over Miriam. He is outraged.
"What are you implying, Monica? That I can't control Miriam, that she doesn't obey me as a girlfriend?"
"Did you tell her to destroy Carina's studio?"
"Of course not!"
"Okay, so she went on her own. That is, she only does what she wants. And I'll tell you more, if you tell her to leave Carina alone, then she'll want to kill her."
Carlos shakes his head, "I won't allow you to talk like that about my girlfriend! Maybe it’s OK thinking she is jealous, but to think that she has homicidal tendencies..."
"Today's event s
MONICA’S HOUSE ENTRANCE - DAYWednesday. Célio is walking to Monica's house, wanting to talk. Almost at the same time, Fábio is in the same direction. The two meet and face each other, both feeling tension.Célio provokes, "The house you're looking to visit is the one next door.""The house next door is that of Fábia Peres.""And isn't it with her that you're cheating on Monica?"Fábio gets closer and angry, "‘Are you cheating’ as if it were a fait accompli? How do you throw that accusation at me like that, just like that, without proof?""I know by your character.""Y
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOMPenha wanna know if Ricardo is going to introduce her to Carina. Ricardo is visibly annoyed."Don’t interfere with this book. It's my business, Penha.""And you are my business. So if you're not going to tell me what the matter with the book is, when are you going to introduce me to your new friend?""I already said that you don't have to be jealous of Carina.""Does this mean that she won’t ruin everything?""What do you mean?"Penha emphasizes, "Does that mean she won't be your girlfriend?"Ricardo walks away and then looks at her, "I tol
POLICE STATION – DAYCélio and Fábio found out that Monica was detained at the police station. Strangely, the policeman Carlos Roldão transmitted the fact with disdain and irony. What happened?"What did Monica do?" Célio asks.Carlos answers emotionless, "Monica was detained, but she will be released today, for defying my authority. People need to learn that they cannot say everything they want without suffering consequences."Fábio is not accepting this, "Sorry, sheriff, but what did she do or say? As a boyfriend, I think I have a right to know."Célio tries to impose himself before Fábio, "And I as a friend. Was it too serious?"
POLICE STATIONMoments later, a lawyer in a suit is talking to Carlos, he looks cautious. Monica, already released, is hugged sideways by Fábio and Célio is next to him, not hiding his jealousy.Célio speaks to her, "Glad you got out, Monica. You know, we were very concerned about your sudden disappearance. I came to think that Ricardo had something to do."Monica is relieved, "Don't worry, Cé. Fabinho helped me a lot here."Fábio counters Célio, "And you didn't help by making fun of the idea ofsending the family lawyer. Look at the officer's grimace, passion fruit. He knows he dropped the ball.""I still respect R
RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION - AFTERNOONCélio appears sulky. Tito in front of the typewriter notices his presence.Célio asks, "Won't you even try to learn to use the computer, Seu Tito?""For now I prefer to leave it to the youth. Today we have to register in the system that your friend invented."Célio sits with the same face. He turns on the computer.Tito notices him and goes on, "Is there a problem, son?""I think you should know what our officer is messing up. In addition to hanging out with his girlfriend in the middle of the police station, now he arrests innocent people on the grounds of contempt."
RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATIONTito, like a big daddy, decides to give his loving advice to Célio. He thinks that happy employees produce more."It seems to me that it’s very distressing that Monica is dating this other boy. Do I know him?""Fábio Dance. He is my neighbor. Bad, by the way. He likes loud music, with bad taste; he doesn’t respect the neighborhood with rude music.""And what did Monica see in him?"Célio is forced to admit it, "Let's admit that he has more beauty than me. Monica has always liked him. And he never paid attention to her. When a blonde with a big guitar body came on the scene, he didn't even care for the poor girl. But, as time passed and I became more and
MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - AFTERNOONMiriam is in front of Carlos. He is standing, walking aimlessly, and stopping sometimes to face his crazy girlfriend."Why so much stress, baby?" She asks jokingly."The situations you put me in... Sometimes I think you don't love me, or don't care about me."Miriam bounces in bed, "What are you talking about? Of course, I love you!"Carlos outburst and tell her his worries, "It doesn't look like it, Miriam! It looks like you want to see me unemployed, or demoralized in my profession. Tell me, what do you get for doing all these antics, besides putting me in evidence?"Miriam doesn't respond right away, looks like she doesn't understand.
MIRIAM'S BEDROOMCarlos is trying to put reasoning in Miriam's hollow head, "You really started to hate the gang. Laughing out loud because Monica was arrested for your fault... I was supposed to detain you, you crazy, you know that very well."Miriam gets up, "And why do you live with those terms on me? Where are the ‘darling’ and ‘my sweetheart’?""Whit what mind will I call you these loving terms if you don't inspire me that much? This troublemaker Miriam destroying the property of others is not the girl I fell in love with.""Do you want me to be that pushover and weak Carina, who keeps having blood pressure drops every five minutes?""No, I want a Miriam who is centered mind, serious, b
