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
GRANJA SQUARE - AFTERNOONAnnie is surprised by Rosa's reprimand tone when she announces that she wants to talk to her about Jonas."What is it, Rosa? I was even startled by that tone.""You should be concerned about how much your dating is going on. Jonas keeps making mistakes and hurting you and are you still okay with him?"Annie decides to respond in a calm tone, so as not to add more fuel to the fire, "It turns out that our love overcomes any disagreement, Rosa. I don't see myself with any other boy and certainly, Jon doesn't see himself with another girl.""He doesn't see himself because you're the only girl in the world to pay attention to this guy!""You know, I think Jonas is right: everybody wants to separate us. But, as the saying goes: only the spoon in the pot knows how hot it is."Rosa tries to process the saying for a few seconds, "Do you mean that because I'm single, I can't give you loving advice? Damn it, Annie, I just want to help you as a friend.""And I am very gr
GRANJA SQUARE - DAYGreat agglomeration of the neighborhood leaving the Church after another Sunday Mass. And as usual, everyone takes the opportunity to go to the fair. Carina, an example of a devout Christian, still in her modest clothes, goes to her tent and opens it to sell what is left of her paintings and what she managed to paint at night until today.Luis didn't even go to mass and is now ready to sell his cassette tapes.The Church was fuller because of the circus and park staff who took the opportunity to thank God for their deliverance, as the circus and the park were their lives. Some of them have been in this endeavor with Cláudio for years, leaving family and friends behind.Cláudio himself also participated in the Mass and is now walking down the stairs talking to Aurélio and Rosa."How long will you be here, Mr. Reis?" Rosa asked."Long enough for you to cut 'sir' and call me Claudio."The three laugh."Then you can start calling me Rosa now.""The affection and suppor
RUBENS'S APARTMENT - AFTERNOONThe living room is now strewn with clothes; magazines, books, and CDs in their proper places, the coffee table is clean and shining, the sofa is free from socks and underwear, swept floors, and dust-free curtains. The noise of the washing machine indicates its operation.Rubens is sitting in the armchair wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist because Penha noticed that the black T-shirt and shorts he was wearing were reeking of mold. The guy is ashamed to be naked in front of a lady, but Penha is apparently a woman of fiber.He barely imagines that Penha is loving seeing Ricardo's best friend like that, naturally. And the clothes he wore weren't sooooooo dirty..."And then, you didn't just come to see me without clothes." Rubens teased, "I'm a dead man if he knows that, Penha.""Why are you so concerned about Ricardo?""You are a committed woman, remember that."Penha, indeed, was not in the mood to remember, "He barely talks to me... He barely wa
CLAUDIO'S TRAILER - DAYMonday. Cláudio is counting and separating the money received from Saturday and Sunday. Maximum capacity on opening day and excellent ticket sales on Sunday. The ticket agent informed him that he let a candid, simple, and charming girl pass by for free. Cláudio correctly concluded that it was Carina. Now he is separating the payment from his fellow travelers.The door opens and the same ticket agent enters. Claudio promptly separates some bundles of notes and hands him over."This is the payment for trapeze artists and tamers. You know how much it’s for each one.""How long do you intend to stay here, Mr. Reis? I was told that the neighborhood is new, but it already has a population that can earn a month's stay.""And with the affection of the residents... What happened to us thanks to the police... We have publicly forgiven the disturbed officer only increased their admiration for us. Maybe we will stay for more than a month. We will see."Cláudio kept a felin
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - DAYMonica and Fábio hardly believe that Célio dared to ask if she wants to help him deliver the payment slips to the residents since she is with Fábio and ready to go out. Célio is more irritated by Fábio's presence.The boyfriend protests, "No, man, this can only be on purpose!""I just asked a question," Célio says seriously.Monica approaches her friend, "Célio, I'm socially dressed to go out. Fábio and I are going to another publisher. I need to focus on publishing my novel."Célio only understands Monica's side, "Ok, Monica, I didn't know. So, have good luck and have a good trip."Fábio, however, does not want to leave things as they are, "Hey, come back here, buddy! We need to define one thing: I realize that you have a lot of freedom in coming to my girlfriend's house."Célio weaves an ironic, mocking smile, "Above all, Fábio, Monica is my friend. I came here with the best of intentions. Since you are busy, I will look for the other friends, good morning
RHODIA AVENUE - DAYWellington and Annie are talking about her and her courtship with Jonas. He decides to calm her about his fears of the fans."Annie, don't pay too much attention to the cheerleaders. If it’s cheerleaders. Sometimes the person speaks without intending to hurt you.""But it hurts." Annie sighs wistfully, "Why don't people see that I love Jonas?""The question is reversed. People are not seeing that JONAS loves you."Annie suddenly stops and grabs Wellington's arm in despair, "No! That's a lie! He loves me so much, that's why he's jealous.""Well, I'm not into all the gossip, but I've been told that Jonas isn't being the gentleman he was when we were in high school.""He will be more petty and bitter if everyone points their bazookas at him." Annie walks away, upset. She definitely wants to protect her loved one."Annie, what do you expect from all this? I prefer to hear it from your mouth instead of trusting others."Annie regains some of her joviality in replying, "
