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
BUS - NIGHT Wellington and Luís were seated; the bus had few passengers due to the schedule, which made them want to comment on the urgent matter. "Let's continue the conversation, Luís. This story of Ricardo killing you is meaningless. Tomorrow, you get what you have to get right with him and swallow the frog to be without the commission tonight. After all, Annie didn't ask you to miss it." Luís justifies himself, "A lady being thrown on the sidewalk, I needed to do something. Nobody helped her..." "Okay, but if you tell Ricardo that you missed the fair because of Monica's best friend, then he ends the partnership and you're out of a job." Luis shivers again and sweats cold, "Not that, man, I need the money, I'm taking more than the minimum wage!" "So I hope you are saving some of your income because unfortunately, I don't know if it will last." Luís is about to cry, "Whoa, Wellington, with a friend like you, who needs enemies?" Wellington nudges Luís, "Stop crying, man! Let's
SANDRA'S HOUSE - NIGHTSandra and Miriam are in trouble. Cássio is on the other side, wanting to enter. If he finds Miriam, he will discover that the two remain friends."Honey, are you home?""One minute, my love!" Sandra screams to buy time. She whispers to Miriam, "Go to my room, he doesn't go in there!""Never?" Miriam asked.Sandra gets annoyed with Miriam wanting to know why Cássio doesn't visit Sandra's room (for obvious reasons) and pushes the visitor there. She makes a sign of silence and closes the door. Then she messes up her clothes and opens the door.When the door opens, Cássio sees Sandra readjusting her clothes, and he has the impression that she was getting dressed."Hi, love, I just got out of the shower. I was afraid you were leaving.""You could use your robe!"Cássio's naughty smile makes Sandra red. She slaps his hands when he invites her for a hug."And catch that cold wind and die of tuberculosis? And who would be the new Boss Editor?""Monica!"Sandra hugs Cás
MALTHUS SNACK BARRosa enters the cafeteria and finds the house full. Aurélio is more composed, without dark circles, serving customers with a smile. Rosa notices the change in mood of the owner. She goes to the counter and waits to be answered. The same client who came up with the idea of making a kitty for repaying Aurélio's bank loan is finishing his breakfast. He looks at Rosa and winks.Rosa is surprised. Was that a "good morning" or a pick-up line? Although Silvio, a factory worker, had a strong body that draws attention, his three-day beard and slightly dirty uniform gave him an extra charm. However, it seems that his intention was just to say "good morning" because he talks in a normal tone."Well, Rosa, we have some good news today. We got the kitty for Aurélio."Rosa smiles with satisfaction. Aurélio returns to the counter."Good morning, Rosa. What is this Colgate smile?""I'm happy," she says, "and now you'll be happier than you already are."Aurélio speaks pouring a glass
CLÁUDIO TRAILERCélio and Cláudio talk about Ricardo's invitation to sue Carlos."You know, Mr. Reis, this Ricardo Oliveira appeared in our lives full of mysteries. There was a power outage in our neighborhood and my friend Monica suspected that it was him. A clandestine connection was identified that we call 'cat' and he was formally charged. But the investigation proved nothing, and we remain suspicious to this day.""But, could it have been him? How is your friend so sure?""She said she saw Ricardo with all the tools that someone uses to make the 'cat', even the ladder like a fire engine. It's not something that any family has at home.""I understand.""When Ricardo discovered that it was Monica who made the complaint, he harbored hatred for her. Monica is writing books with the dream of becoming a writer, but somehow Ricardo managed to steal a manuscript and published the book in front of her, without her permission, and the publisher even released a false name as a pseudonym.
