MALTHUS SNACK BARSaturday. Aurélio is working normally. Fewer people because it’s a weekend, but Aurélio only stays until noon. Célio is sitting at the counter, snacks beside him, but he is attentively reading Monica's novel. Aurélio notices the cover, her name, and the title."'Love came later'... Is it Monica's book?"Célio follows the gaze on the pages, "Yes. And it's very good, by the way. Not short, but apart from the water-sugar tone; she has technique, context, well-structured dialogues, and characters built with realism... She really paid attention to Portuguese classes. Cássio and I used to mess in the back of the classroom.""In other words, isn't it just another one of those silly books by muscular, wealthy men and not-so-innocent girls like Carina and Annie?"Célio looks up at him, "Amazingly, Seu Aurélio... The physical description of the male main character... seems to fit me..."Aurélio smiles, "What do you mean?""Nothing cliché, as we mentioned. He's a normal guy, han

MIRIAM’S BEDROOM - DAYSandra enters the room and finds Miriam sprawled on the bed, still dressed. A hangover is little for that. Sandra feels this was weird; nothing indicates that it was a romantic night.She shakes Miriam very hard until she wakes up, "Miriam, Miriam! What happened? It's too late!"Miriam replies sleepily, "Ah... My head...!""Take Doril. So, was that the result of your leaving?"Miriam, still lying down, turns to Sandra. It looks like talking hurts, "Look, as far as I know, the night was good. We went to that pizzeria whose preparation is legitimately Neapolitan. A delight! They also served wine... Ouch...!"Sandra, more and more disgusted, walks around the bed, "Wine? And did you drink them all? Drunkenness on the first date?""Stop walking as I can't keep up with you. And it will make me sick.""Better go to the kitchen to make a strong coffee, while you wash your face, and if you have to throw up, do it in the bathroom and not in front of me!"Sandra withdraws,

MALTHUS SNACK BAR Célio finally decides to eat his snack; the book is on his side. Aurélio approaches him, looking at the book again. "So the book is really good, huh?" "Awesome, Seu Aurélio, that publisher is very unable, has no commercial acumen." Aurélio got thoughtful, "And Monica is going to try other publishing houses." Célio responds excitedly, "For sure! This masterpiece cannot be left alone as a draft or manuscript." "And has she already registered it, with an ISBN?" Célio looks at him, never heard of it, "I don't know what it’s about." Aurélio takes the book and begins to leaf through the first and last pages, "No, she didn't," he looks up, "You know, Célio, a work needs to be registered and have this ISBN certificate which means 'International Standard Book Number', which will guarantee Monica's copyright protection." "This means..." "That if Monica goes around distributing her manuscripts indiscriminately to any Publisher, unprotected, an unethical publisher may s

RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION - DAYRicardo, in a good brand shirt and social pants, is getting closer among some residents, standing out among those who were simpler. Residents divide into small groups and talk about random subjects, some of whom notice Ricardo. Ricardo watches Luis and exchanges a nod, and then walks on until he enters the arena at the back, where there are more residents. An improvised stage suggests that this is where Tito will speak. Ricardo giggles."There is our mayor.""Too simple for your accurate taste, right?"Ricardo turns and exchanges a look with Carlos, "I hardly recognize you in this civilian outfit.""I want to see if I can recognize you if I see you in an orange uniform."Ricardo loses his pose a little and approaches Carlos. "What are you trying to imply? You have been picking on me since we met—"Carlos is ironic, "Mr. Oliveira, today we are going to see how we can help small children with improvements to the square."Carlos walks away and leaves Ricardo i

RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION ENTRANCEResidents are leaving, more excited than they entered. The gang is also leaving.Cassio is scolding Edward, "Ed, you suck.""You adults are very discouraged. Didn't you find Seu Tito's speech brilliant?""Above average", Carina says, "But how good that the mayor touched you. Imagine when we start the campaign for the police station?""I'm looking forward to seeing it."Carina's eyes widen at Carlos's manly voice. She turns and finds him. Carlos is smiling and walking to the group.In another corner, Sandra and Miriam are as dizzy cockroaches looking for Carlos."I saw him, Sandra, he was upfront. Logically, he should be the last to leave!""Without despair, my friend, that's what the others do."Miriam is very anxious, "I got all dressed up for him, Sandra..."Sandra keeps looking until she finds him. Her reaction is strong and pats the "friend" on the shoulder. Miriam turns and gets wide-eyed.In Miriam's view: Carlos is talking to the group, but Miriam

PRAÇA DA GRANJA - DAYSunday. There is a larger gathering of neighborhood residents with their children. Churchgoers left the Mass and went straight to the tents that were armed. As stated by Cássio, the fair is small in size, with a limited number of stalls. Still, people enjoy what they have. There are two novelties: Luis's cassette tapes stall and Carina's stall with several pictures painted by her. At Luis's tent, Cássio and Sandra approach."See, darling? Luis got it."Sandra speaks haughtily, "Yeah, how interesting..."Luis takes advantage, "And of course, are you going to honor your friend here?"Cássio replies joyfully, "Ah, sure, let me see what you have!"Cássio leans over to the showcase. Sandra, with a twisted nose, walks away. She looks around until she finds Miriam with bags.She approaches the lunatic girl, "Now can you explain to me what shame was that yesterday?""What shame, my friend? I killed it; I made the dead-fly girl think that Carlos possessed me yesterday!""A

RICARDO’S LIVING ROOMRicardo, in simpler clothes, meets Luis and lets him in. Luis enters, still not so comfortable with the guy."Here I am, sir.""Did you manage to sell anything?""Yes, so I wanted to get it right."Luis reaches into his pocket and takes out the money. He gives it to Ricardo. Ricardo takes the bills, counts, and returns half the amount. Luis is happy."Luis, I repeat so that you do not comment to your friends that I am the one who is financing everything. The officer didn’t get along with me and his friends here took me for being unsympathetic, but I never did anything bad to them.""I understand, sir, I just told Cássio I was going to work, I didn't quote you. Of course, they saw me today.""That's right. The officer didn't even show up. If it's up to him, he would arrest everyone. But Seu Tito won't let him.""If there is have more vendors wanting to pay the license fee, they will want to. He should fix that place and buy a computer.""That's right."Ricardo stan

FÁBIO’S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONCássio now has to watch soccer with Fábio to pretend the forced friendship with the other plan. But, he has one more mission to accomplish. After the two shout "goal" and the narrator calls the break, he strikes again."How lucky the goal came right at the break," Fábio says."So the team celebrates at halftime.""That's right. But, huh, I thought you were Corinthians."Cassio disguises himself, "W-well, when Coringão isn't playing, I accompany the other teams."Fabio smiles, "Good to know that you also appreciate Vasco."Cassio answers in his thoughts, "Only you, Fábio Dance!" Now he says, "And so, I didn't see you yesterday at the Assembly.""Ah, man, what an annoying thing! This gentleman who is playing as mayor is not going to change anything. Just hire a private company and have that square repaired, because if you are going to wait for the City Hall to look at this distant neighborhood...""Hope and faith, comrade, we’ll be treated equally.
