COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY - AFTERNOONRosa is reading celebrity gossip magazines, while no customers appear. Cassio appears suddenly.She gets a slight fright, "Oh, Cássio! Anyone who sees you entering in such a sweeping way will think you are a thief running away from the police.""Do you take that chance of a thief just because I'm black?"Rosa is static, not knowing what to say. She did not want to offend Cassio by being racist.However, Cássio undoes his scowl and lets out a laugh."Oh, Cassio..." Rosa relieves herself and also laughs with her friend."Don't worry, Rosa, I know you didn't mean to offend me. And I'm not even that black, I would say chocolate brown. Wellington is really black.""That's right. I just saw him pass by with another boy."Cassio continues to mock, "Oh, Rosa, it's not what you're thinking! Wellington is very manly; the other guy is Luís, our friend too."Rosa burst out laughing, "I didn't mean it in that connotation. You are the one thinking about evil, huh!
FÁBIA PERES’S LIVING ROOM - EVENINGFábia Peres is interrogated by Fábio and Monica. She only regrets the opportunity for someone to enter Fábio's house and put the cassette on his radio while he is with her.However, Fábio and Monica just want her to answer about the recordings and the photos."Aren't you going to answer, Fábia?"Fábia Peres shakes her head, "What do you want me to say? I received this information and passed it on to you as if it were a charity."Fábio and Monica burst out laughing.Fábio scoffs, "Charity? Was it charity, fake tapes, and pictures taken out of context?""You never got to hear the tape and apparently you barely paid attention to the pictures. Oh, blindness...""You make such a point of emphasizing the content, it's because you heard... or paid for it..."Fábia Peres is gradually thinking of a way to get away, "Me? Pay for it? Nothing like that, Fábio... Someone stuck the contents in my door, left the tape recorder in my mailbox... I didn't order it! I
FÁBIA PERES'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTFábia Peres lets the cassette fall to the floor, making the biggest bang, just when she, Miriam, and Sandra wanted to be quiet so as not to attract the attention of Fábio and Monica.However, time goes by and nothing happens at Monica's house. The three women sigh in relief.Fábia whispers, "That was close! But, let's go. Oh, Sandra, why did you ask me that?"Sandra does not want to take the blame for what happened and defends herself, "Well, for hearing you say that Fábio stays at Monica's house until the wee hours of the night..."But, Fábia Peres refuses to think about the possibility of Fábio and Monica reaching this stage of intimacy. They all leave Fábia's house, she closes the door without making a noise.MONICA'S LIVING ROOMMonica and Fábio heard the noise of the falling tape but did not give much importance.Monica thinks, "It sounded like the sound of a cassette falling."Fábio approaches her with a smile.

CASSIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCássio opens the door for Célio. Because of the fateful question he is always asked, Cássio does not ask Célio how his first day of school was.Célio greets him, "Here I am, buddy. Boy, you could take the course with me. It's a new world that is emerging for me."Cassio laughs at his friend's enthusiasm, "Do you think the computer will replace the typewriter?""I think. My instructor said that when they start selling affordable computers to the working class, everyone will buy them. It's much more practical to type documents. Seu Tito, who already has experience with the typewriter, will love to learn."The two friends sit on the couch.Cassio begins, "So, are you ready for the big news that left me stupid today?"Célio leans forward slightly.Cassio continues, "I found out who Lou and Well are working for. Ricardo Oliveira."Célio shocks himself in the extreme and goes to the opposite end of the sofa, almost falling off him, wide-eyed and with a bizarre g

They cannot discover the two enemies by drinking wine with her. What to do?Sandra looks at her study desk and has an idea. A little dizzy from the drink, she spreads her books and opens her notebook.

Yes, I was socializing with some colleagues."Jonas says, "I told you, love, that the laughter was feminine. Monica?""Oh no, Jonas, Monica is not here. They are colleagues from the entrance exam. We were studying together, and we took the opportunity to chat a little,
MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYNow the first customers start to appear and Aurélio serves them breakfast. Among them is José, Ed's father. Aurélio goes to the table he chooses."The usual, José?"José turns to him jokingly, "Has anything changed in this menu? If not, I want the usual."Aurélio laughs at the camaraderie and leaves. He doesn't even need to take notes. José looks out the windowpane and watches the movement of Rhodia Avenue. And he watches Annie walking on the sidewalk across the way, heading for the bakery. He knows Annie; she already went to Ed's.Aurélio, as soon as he sees Annie, taps Silvio on the shoulder and points to the window. As soon as Silvio sees her, he hurriedly swallows the snack he was eating, leaves the money anyway, and goes out of his way, without waiting for change.José is surprised at the movement, especially since the boy who ran out approaches Annie at a great pace. Who is he?RHODIA AVENUESilvio runs after Annie."Annie, wait! Are you going to the bake
CARINA'S STUDIO - DAYMonica is hiding at the studio door, listening to what will probably be Ricardo's proposal to Carina.Ricardo had told Carina that he was going to get something, but that he wanted to take the opportunity now to ask something. Carina already senses something very good and is excited.Ricardo, with his classic little silly smile, takes Carina's hands and speaks tenderly, "Carina... You are tired of hearing that I love you. I say this so many times that you must be beginning to suspect that it’s a lie."Carina burst out laughing. How beautiful and cute act from Ricardo! "I will never tire of your statements, Cardo.""So, if so, I wanted to ask you... Do you see yourself spending the rest of your life with me?"Carina remains smiling, if she had more space on her face, she would open her lips further. "Of course I do. I love you, too.""There, that was the answer I wanted. Now, excuse me, I'm going to get your money."Monica has a jolt and quickly leaves the studio
MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYSilvio reveals to Aurélio that he saw Jonas all known about alcoholic beverages, confirming their fear that Jonas might like to drink.Aurélio reacts with his mouth open, "What do you mean, man?""That boy who takes the same bus with me..."As soon as Silvio says that, through the windowpane Aurélio sees the bus pass by, the same one that Cássio and José boarded."Ah, man, you lost your driving.""I'll take the next one, even if it's Route B. As I said... Cássio, right? Jonas said that his girlfriend bought a bottle of cheap and counterfeit wine, and started to show off all his knowledge about wines and vintages. Cabernet, Merlot, Sherry, Port wine... It looked like I was facing an oenologist!"Aurélio clenches his hand with the flannel, crushing it with rage, "That is, he already knows about wines, he already drinks!""Yes, and he even invited Cássio to get drunk one of these days."Aurélio throws the flannel on the floor as if it were Jonas himself, "This is
