MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTMonica is perplexed when Tito tells her that Célio is afraid to tell her that she is wrong not to lose her.She gets up, excited, and tries to reason, "Seu Tito, there is something that doesn't fit this story. For example, you say that I don't make Célio feel comfortable saying that I am wrong because he would lose me. There is the point: he never had me to lose me. I'm not his. I'm Fábio Dance's girlfriend.""The stray kid...""Stop! Fábio does not work because he has no need; he is not to blame if he was born into a wealthy family.""One hour there is a financial setback and they are in ruin; how will the boy recover if he doesn't know how to work at all?""He's not a donkey, something he knows how to do! The point is that Célio is still harboring empty hopes. I have to get this out of him. Now, being his girlfriend or not, I never wanted Célio to abstain from giving his opinions."Tito gets up, not believing anything Monica said, "Monica, you may need t
BUS STOP - DAYLuis and Cássio meet again at the bus stop. Another day's work.Cássio tells him, "Today I hope you don't miss another day at the fair.""Ah, I'll make up for it today. The Parque Débora fair is open day and night. Usually, I choose a period, but with yesterday... I'll even go back with Wellington.""Today he works at the bar. So, man, how's the investigation doing?"Luis meditates for a few seconds until he decides not to talk about Penha, as it’s not necessarily Cássio's business, "So far, nothing much. We have wondered if what I am doing would not be wrong either."Cassio gives a pout, "No, friend, your business is more relaxed. What would be wrong with selling cassette tapes at fairs? Even more with the fees all paid.""Yeah, where they charged the license, everything was paid for.""Everything paid for by this friend you don't want to tell me the name of."The bus starts to approach and Luis uses that moment to focus on it and not respond to Cássio. Still in this s
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - DAYMonica gets up from the couch. She is incredibly shocked to hear from her boyfriend's mouth that Ricardo may have something to do with her book. Revolt is what defines Monica."No, dear, it can't be! How? Why?"Fábio gets up and goes to her, holding her, hands on her shoulders to calm her down, "Take it easy, honey! I'm still going to get proof, so we don't go out accusing him irresponsibly."Monica again has the irritating conduct of judging and convicting people without evidence, "Get out, Fábio! If it was Ricardo, it was Ricardo and that's it! After all, I don't even know why I should be surprised. Everything bad that happens in the neighborhood is his fault!"Monica looks for her purse."What are you doing?" Fábio frowns."Picking up my purse, I'm now going to the police station to see if Chief Roldão is back to normal to arrest Ricardo!""Under what claim?"Monica stops, frozen, and looks at Fábio without realizing it, "For robbery, plagiarism! Didn't y
RESIDENTS ' ASSOCIATION - DAYCélio is very upset when he finds out that Tito talked to Monica speaking on his behalf. He is standing and Tito is still typing calmly."But, Seu Tito! How could you say something like that in my name? Monica wasn't supposed to know!""So she would go on with the other boy forever. Do you understand, young man? 'Monica wasn't supposed to know', so WHEN will Monica know what's going on in your heart? Still complaining that she chose to date another one?"Célio feels punched by the Truth. He with this habit of not telling what goes on in his mind, as if Monica were able to read it.And Tito goes on to say, "A man should never be afraid to say what he thinks if he is convinced that he is right. Of course, you are not going to say rude things to Monica. You are not going to offend her. But... afraid to express an opinion respectfully? Fear? Is that what I heard?""You make it look so bad.""Because it's bad. Once again, I insist on repeating to you: that's w
EMPTY KITCHENETTE - DAYThe door opens, and Fábio and Penha enter. The kitchenette is in the same building as the stationery and where Wellington lives; therefore, the layout is the same. Fábio also has the same strange feeling of the big window in the wall where the bed or the television is usually.He goes to her, "How strange that window, it was too big. Thankfully, this is the fourth floor.""Yes, but I didn't order to build like that. Unfortunately, when I saw it, it was ready. Those who live on the lower floors had to cover with curtains."Fábio walks and analyzes, whoever sees him would think he wants to rent the kitchenette.Penha asks in a solicitous tone, "So, sir, do you like it?"Fábio for a few seconds feels sorry for the girl. Apparently, she is not to blame for anything. But, it’s necessary to stop staging, "Sorry, Miss Penha, I didn't come here interested in the kitchenette. I needed to talk to you."Penha takes two steps back, "What do you mean?""The name Fábio Dance
EMPTY KITCHENETTE - DAYFábio has so many revelations in his head that he is getting dizzy. One more bomb and he would be able to throw himself out of the big window. Penha tries to explain in the best possible way."It looks like the news has rocked you. Please, Mr. Dance, I can already tell you that only you and Rosa from the stationery shop below know the whole truth.""And you want me to keep it a secret?""Does it matter to your girlfriend whether she knows or not?"Fábio doesn't respond immediately until he remembers."In fact, for Monica, it doesn't, but for Carina."Penha gives another faint smile that Fábio could only interpret as disdain, "She's going to have to be smarter and stop being so credulous because that's the impression I get. Anyone can say whatever they want that she believes them.""Not quite, miss."Penha nods positively, "Yes, it is! When we are together Ricardo lives uncomfortably and I have already launched several hints, but she doesn't get it! She doesn't
EMPTY KITCHENETTE - AFTERNOONFábio starts walking to the door, saying goodbye to Penha, "Well, Miss Oliveira, I won’t take your time anymore—"Penha grabs Fábio by the arm, desperate, "Please, Mr. Dance! Promise that you will keep me a secret!"Fábio looks at Penha with obvious dismay. Is this woman going crazy?"How do you expect me to keep something so monstrous a secret? I should go to the police. Please, miss, let me go.Penha clings even tighter, "No! At least, about me being Ricardo's sister, promise me to keep it a secret. I even agree that you chase after your girlfriend's book, it's fair. But, about my relationship..."Fábio reflects for a moment. As he has already complained that Monica is always getting into Carina's life, if he tells her the truth, Monica will bully Carina in such a way that Carina will end up not believing in Monica. That would be the end of their friendship.After thinking about it, he looks at Penha indifferently and replies, "I'll think about it, I do
MALTHUS SNACK BARCélio leans forward; extremely concerned about Aurélio's cardiac reactions."Seu Aurélio! Are you okay?""How do you expect me to be okay when you say Annie doesn't want to see me anymore?"Célio grimaces, returns to his place, and drinks the sugarcane juice that was on the table, "Ah! Stop clowning, Seu Aurélio! Whoever sees you like that...""Yes...?"Célio takes a sip and hits the empty glass on the table, "They will think you are in love with Annie. And all of Jonas's disgusting accusations are suddenly not just accusations, but facts."Aurélio straightens up in his chair, the color returns to his face. The voice becomes firmer and more normal, "Are you going to join the slanderers' team?"Célio is not intimidated, "I'm going to join the team 'let Jonas and Annie get it right or break up on their own, without us getting in'!""They will never end that relationship because Jonathan manipulates and dominates Annie so much that she is totally blinded by him! How cou
