RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION - AFTERNOON
Tito 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
RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION - DAYTito, Sandra, and Cássio decide to close the Association and go to lunch.Sandra speaks to the mayor, "Mayor Tito, we needed to talk about the newspaper you wanted to establish, but after that... Can we leave it for Monday?""Yes, we can, young lady. Come Monday, it’s a working day. I am going home from here to rest."Cássio declares, "And I, too, had strong emotions. I wanted to go to the opening, but I don't know."Sandra joins him, "I'm not going today, forgive me. Maybe tomorrow. Shall we go, dear?""Come on. Bye, Seu Tito, and again, thanks for everything!""You are welcome, Cássio."The two leave. Sandra still does not understand why Cássio is so grateful to Tito and intends to ask as soon as they are alone.FÁBIA PERES'S LIVING ROOMFábia Peres is doing exercises according to a television program. She is sweaty, indicating that she already has time. The series of executions end, and she breathes a sigh of relief. She takes a washcloth and wipes the
RICARDO'S CAR - DAYRicardo needs to make an important decision. If he keeps driving, he will question what Miriam is doing crouched between Monica and Carina's houses. But if he does, Miriam will discover Carina inside his car, and she will discover that the two are dating. Carina doesn't want that at all.Then, Ricardo accelerates the car and passes straight. As Miriam also doesn't want to be recognized, she doesn't pay attention to the driver and tries to look like she's taking someone else's photo.STREETSWhen the car passes, Fábia Peres returns from Carina's house. Miriam turns to her, very pissed."Fábia Peres! Where have you been?"Only now that Fábia Peres realizes that she had forgotten to alert Miriam, "I... I hid in the house next door...""Carina's house? What if she is there and sees you?"It turns out she isn't, I can tell. Sorry, friend."Miriam gives her a reprimanding look. 'Friend'? "Luckily the car passed and apparently the driver was very focused on driving. But,
CARLOS LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONMiriam asks Carlos if he is getting so bizarre and careless about his job at the police station because of Carina. Carlos first looks at her with hatred just to remember the precious name. Then he looks back at the television."This has nothing to do with her."Miriam twists a corner of her mouth in disbelief and then crosses her arms, "So, can we, as friends, discuss what's bothering you? Because Officer Carlos Roldão, the head of the neighborhood police station I know, didn't shoot in front of children.""What is bothering me," He replies in an acid tone, "It's you here with that rattle of yours. I'm trying to watch television!""You can't watch television, but it's not because of me. When you want to talk, look for me, but without being drunk."Miriam acts as if she is going out, but she stops and comes back, to say one more detail, "I loved you, Carlos Roldão. I venture to say that I still like you. I am willing to wait for you back; who knows love m
