MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - AFTERNOON
Miriam has a swollen face from crying. She is taking care of the photos from Fábia Peres's film.
Sandra enters, worried about her, "Girl, when you called me... What happened?"
Miriam turns to her, her face as described, "Sandra, I want to thank you for all the help you gave me regarding my courtship with Carlos."
"And why am I feeling like it's no use?"
Miriam approaches her, "It's because it didn't work."
"What happened? Don't tell me that he —"
Miriam sits on the bed. Sandra does the same.
"It wasn't him, friend. It was me. I made the most difficult decision of my life."
"You fought?"
RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION - AFTERNOONTito and Ricardo plan to help Carina.Tito goes on talking, "Carlos Roldão's stay at the neighborhood police station is my responsibility. I didn't understand when he said otherwise."Ricardo sneers, "The guy thinks he is the king of the blackcocada. You may indeed lose the next election, but he is not a civil servant with a rare chance of being exonerated.""I think Carlos must have come here from Brasilia if he thinks he's irreplaceable.""If he keeps being up to like this... I'm no saint, mayor, but I already told you how I spent the night in detention. He was going to arrest Carina!""A catastrophic mistake," Tito roars."What's more, I went w
MIRIAM'S BEDROOM - AFTERNOONDesirous of confusion, Sandra is excited about Miriam taking pictures of the group for more intrigue."Congratulations, Miriam. In addition to unmasking this bunch of baddies, you will earn a little money."Miriam is anxious, "Oh, I understand that this Fábia has money to spare, I can even charge a little more than she will pay. She doesn't want just a little photo.""That's right, photograph an entire album, in various situations, so Fábio doesn't think it was just once. And if he wants to, I can even think of coming up with a situation for the two of them to meet.""Yes, you're still in the group!""I said, honey, it was good for me to be back."Miriam che
RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION - AFTERNOONTito has already told Célio and Cássio what happened. They are both gaping.Célio finally opines, "I was aware of Ricardo's arrest, but this one about the officer? I never thought he was capable!"Cássio complains, "After all, what's with this guy? Now is Miriam going to be above the law? Everything she does will be ok?"Tito goes on to explain, "According to Ricardo, Roldão is only behaving this way because Carina doesn't pay attention to him."Cassio speaks pointedly, "Don't give a damn about him because he's with Miriam! Carina won't be 'the other one'. Doesn't this guy know our friend?""This will become a problem of greater proportions. If Roldão continues
CASSIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCássio talks to Sandra about Tito's project, but he accidentally lets go of the reason: to denounce Carlos's madness.Sandra is alarmed, "Cássio, I can't run a project like that, how crazy! I'm going to be arrested just like in the Military Regime!""I think Seu Tito will give you support and protection. And the officer is being pursued due to that very reason; if he arrests you, you will be right."Sandra smiles but shakes her head, "It's not that simple. My parents will die of heartbreak if they know I went to jail. And I have no money to defend myself. I didn't vote for Mayor Tito to get in trouble!""Okay, but what about the project itself? Are you ready for it?"Sandra keeps smiling, she i
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTJonas questions Monica and Annie about what they are talking about him. Moment of tension. Monica is behind Annie, holding her lightly; about to pull her back in case Jonas attempts any aggression."Jonas, take it easy." Annie asks, "We were not criticizing you."The answer did not calm Jonas. He looks at Monica angrily, "I'm going to ask the person who certainly started the intrigue: what does Annie need to pay attention to?"Annie gives Monica a pleading look, asking her to take it easy, for her to respond reasonably and peacefully. But, Monica has never been easygoing when it comes to defending her best friend."Pay attention to just that! Your overbearing behavior, Jonas! I... Sometimes I think you don't deserve to have Annie as your wife.
RUBENS'S APARTMENT - DAYSaturday. Rubens's apartment located in Parque Débora is typical of single-man territory: disorganized. The living room is filled with pieces of clothing scattered in various corners instead of being in the wardrobe. On the coffee table, cans of beer, Styrofoam packaging indicating it had lunchbox or Japanese food, a pizza box (probably with sour pizza slices), and used glasses. On the shelf, the television is on standby; books; and CDs are in disarray. And on the dresser, the phone is ringing, almost hidden among old newspapers and sports magazines.The ringing of the phone causes Rubens to emerge from the room wearing only his underwear, showing a fit body, visibly sleepy, scratching his eyes. He goes the way he is on the phone with the biggest laziness in the world. Answering the phone is like doing 200 push-ups."Hello"?"Rubens, tell me how Wellington behaved!" Ricardo practically begged. Rubens grimaces. For a moment, the manager also felt that Penha's t
GRANJA SQUARE — PARK AND CIRCUS - DAYIn the amusement park, the Ferris wheel is almost ready, and other tents and toys are being set up at full speed. Among the movement, there are curious and expectant residents. Among them are Cássio, Sandra, and Ed."Look how cool," Ed exclaims, "Let's have a carousel and a Ferris wheel!""The carousel has always existed, Edward," Cassio remembers."Our merry-go-round is not happy to be called 'merry-go-round'. Theirs are very well preserved, today we don't get tetanus.""And what is that tent over there?"Cassio points out like any indiscreet person. And Sandra sees: it’s the famous kissing booth. Sandra smiles slightly, already in her mind imagining some way to make Célio and Monica kiss in the tent, with Miriam photographing to take Fábia Peres."It's the legendary kissing booth.""My mom told me that she’s called the tent--"Cássio was going to talk about a sexually transmitted disease, but Sandra gives him a quick warning look so he doesn't s
CIRCUS - DAYIn the middle of the pandemonium, Carlos has his gun pointed at Cássio, just because he guessed that the officer is upset to be rejected by Carina. Tito, Célio, and Cláudio arrive in time to avoid the worst. Cássio still risks being funny and opens one eye to check his rescuers."Thankfully, I was already meditating on my will.""And how were you going to write the will after you died?" Célio tries at all costs to keep himself from laughing at the joke, "Psychographed?""I was going to haunt you in your thoughts."There was no way, Célio burst out laughing. The situation left everyone less tense.Tito smiles slightly and turns his attention back to Carlos, "Chief Roldão, make your subordinates stop this mess. Mr. Reis had already obtained the license. You should have consulted me first.""I received an anonymous report and came to investigate. Nobody had anything."Cláudio tries to explain himself, but there is distress in his voice, "I was in the Association with the may
