MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - AFTERNOON
Miriam 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
PUBLISHER - AFTERNOONRicardo enters. André is waiting for him at his desk. Ricardo takes a seat."Here I am.""You took a while, huh?""I have other things to do.""So, as left a message, the book is ready to be released. We have the help of an experienced writer to spice up the story. Will the title be the same, ‘Love came later’?""Do you think the title is bad?""No, but maybe she'll find out..."Ricardo raises slightly the corner of his mouth; it’s his half-silly smile. "No, that's not why. She will hardly find out."
CELIO’S LIVING ROOMCássio visits Célio. The two of them each on a sofa, talk about the day."Cássio, you don't know the greatest... Did you know that our friend Monica spent a night at the police station?"Cassio gets shocked, "Seriously? How did this happen?""Well, for that, I’ll have to tell you another bomb: Miriam broke into Carina's house and destroyed several of her paintings. Jealousy of Roldão.""But, I thought that everything was already right between the two! Why does Miriam still insist on seeing Carina as an enemy and rival?"Célio sneers, "I don't know, she's crazy! Good thing Sandra left her alone."
CELIO’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCássio and Célio continue to talk. Célio explains why he’s so upset about Fábio."And I was trying to talk to Monica about the two of us... until the moron appeared.""Célio, I don't want to be boring, but now she's the official girlfriend. You will have to conform or be patient.""Ah, ah... Anyway, let's change the subject. Do you have any news?"Cassio rubs his hands, "Of course I have! Luis and Wellington called me. I went to the latter's kitchenette. They told me the story of the death threat better.""OK! And then?""They didn't tell me the n
RICARDO'S LIVING ROOMRicardo gets upset with Penha seeing him talk to Carina. There's tension in the air."I had told you to go."Penha asks mockingly, "Did you schedule her to come here? I thought you respected her."Ricardo reacts astonished, "Look, I respect you, Penha!"Penha snorts, "She who doesn't pay respect, for leaving home like this, at this time of night.""Tomorrow she returns, no one will turn her face on you, and you won’t be here to stop me."Penha is angry, and stomps, "I can't believe you're doing this to me! Do you want to have two women?""I alrea

A discussion begins, with a lot of tension especially among rivals.Célio is disgusted by Monica's presence, "But... But, what antics is this? What an indecency!"Fábio defends himself, "Oops, wait a minute, Célio! Don't forget that you're talking to Monica.""Yeah! What are you guys thinking about?" Monica questions him.Fábio lowers the music volume.Célio replies bitterly, "I'm thinking that the biggest slutty thing would happen here if it weren't for Cássio a

MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYAnnie is at the counter making her traditional snack. Aurélio, thinking about yesterday's promise, decides to start talking, pretending to be cleaning where it’s already clean."And then, Annie...
