CARLOS'S LIVING ROOM - DAYCarlos is standing on his phone, dialing Penha's phone. On the other side, she is still drowsy and goes to the phone to answer it before the ring explodes in her head."Hello?""Miss Oliveira? Carlos Roldão is speaking here. They gave me a phone and I am looking for a kitchenette to rent to a friend. Emerson Ramos."It’s the name of Officer Ramos, from the District where Carlos came from."Ah, okay, because you already have housing, officer.""Do you already know me, miss?""Everyone knows the handsome policeman who served as a poster boy for the police station campaign. I already paid the first monthly fee of the booklet."Carlos smiles. Handsome cop? He can take advantage of that, "Can we make an appointment for later?""At ten in the morning, I'm waiting at the stationery.""Done, see you later."Carlos hangs up. It was too easy!PENHA'S HOUSEPenha hangs up with a sly smile. The policeman always left her on shaky legs. Carlos was more handsome than he al
STATIONERY BUILDING - DAYOn the stairs, Wellington is coming down, when he hears the footsteps of people going up and Penha's unmistakable voice."The only thing that your friend may not like is the big window that was put on, especially on the first floor. If you don't put a curtain on, those who pass the street have a good view from inside the kitchenette."And Carlos's manly voice, "Oh, my friend is one of those who is ‘at ease’ when there’s no one around. I will warn him."And when Wellington makes the turn, he meets the two. Carlos doesn't know Wellington very well, but Penha crosses her eyes with the boy and feels uncomfortable, she lowers her head. Her silence makes Carlos think that she was embarrassed because of his friend."Ah, sorry, did I embarrass you?""Ah, no, I just shut up. Anyway, the kitchenettes..."And the two keep going up, while Wellington keeps going down with a frown.RHODIA AVENUEWellington stops on the sidewalk to see if Luís is arriving with full physical
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - DAYFábio takes a deep breath, takes courage, looks Monica in the eyes, and begins to speak with all sincerity, "Monica, this photo was taken yesterday."Monica is astonished and opens her mouth. So he got even with her! Her heart starts to beat faster. "Fábio... You got even with my archenemy...!"Fábio gets up from the armchair and kneels in front of Monica, his voice shakes due to his despair, "No, Monica, never think about it! Is that what Fábia Peres wants you to think, to separate us? Is it not already clear that she is participating in this trickery of photos and recordings?"Monica is now beginning to think so. But the photos themselves could not have been taken by her."The other photos came out perfect, professional stuff. These came out bad, out of focus... I even thought they were old.""We never take pictures of our intimacy."Monica feels discomfort. She, who remains chaste until the wedding, has to hear her boyfriend indirectly admit that he had re
MALTHUS SNACK BAR - DAYAurélio hastily clears one of the tables and prepares it for José and Ed to sit at ease."It's an honor to see father and son together in my snack bar. Listen to the old man's advice, son, because you don't give a damn about mine."José laughs, but Ed snorts."It's just that you're not my father. You are here to serve us two pastries."Aurélio remains standing where he is, waiting for more details.José says, "Son, you have to detail the taste of the pastry.""He already knows, father." Ed makes drama to Aurélio, "Don't tell me you're going to do this slight, Seu Aurélio! Two pastries of the Gods for yesterday."Aurélio remains still, a slight smile of defiance. Edward WON’T eat plain pastries!José, not understanding the embarrassing climate, tries to say, "Bring two pastries that he mentioned, Aurélio; and two of ground beef for me. Two cans of soda."Aurélio decides to leave, plotting something in mind.Ed is always doing drama and showing, "Phew! Waiters ar
BAKERY CASCAIS - AFTERNOONAnnie enters the bakery after watching the episode of the soap opera, but she is appalled by the story she heard from Luís and Wellington.Jonas finds her and asks, "Was today's episode heavy, dear?"Annie gets closer to Jonas, she speaks with apprehension, "Just hug me, dear, please!""What is it, honey?" Jonas hugs her without understanding and starts to worry."Jonas, Wellington's story, which also involves Luís... It's really too monstrous! Ricardo Oliveira helped Luís to sell illegal copies of a cassette tape!"Jonas frowns. What the hell, and is Carina going to marry a guy like that? "Hardly anyone who doesn't have an honest occupation can earn honest money.""And now Carina is engaged to that rascal, and if we tell; and if Monica does, she won't believe it."Jonas takes advantage to distill his contempt for Monica, "Sure! Because of Monica, who upset Carina when we didn't have any evidence; now that we have, Carina will think that we are also prejudic
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - DAYFábio appears in the living room rubbing his eyes with one hand, coming from the bedroom, looking like he was sleeping, and only in boxers."Who is it?" Monica's unmistakable voice is heard outside, "Fábio, it's me!"Fábio smiles and ends up opening the door as he is "dressed". Monica gets shocked and covers her eyes, the same reaction as Carina when she sees Ricardo like this."Fabinho! How little shame is that?"Fábio shakes his head to chase off the rest of his sleep, "Monica, calm down that no one else is looking. Will you be ashamed when we go to the beach and I wear swim trunks?"Monica quickly enters only for Fábio to close the door and no one else sees him like that from the street."I see, THIS is the problem. You will never see me even in a nightdress unless we can get married."Fábio closes the door and looks at Monica with a smile. She still kept her eyes covered."That we can 'do it'? Of course, we can do it, love! Wait a minute, I'm
COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERY - DAYRosa is questioned without any tact by Monica about her friendship with Penha. Annie and Sandra, embarrassed, try to mitigate the situation."You know, Rosa..." Sandra begins, "We were needing to know—"Rosa, however, frowns and points a finger at Sandra, "Whoa, wait a minute: who are you and what are you doing here with the others?"Monica and Annie don't understand Rosa's objection.Sandra defends herself, "Excuse me?"Rosa recalls with her index pointed to Sandra, "You were here the other day, a long time ago, with that damn girl who was making fun of Carina for having a meeting with Chief Roldão. You were making fun of her too. What are you doing with Annie and Monica? Have you become friends?"Sandra clenches her fists. Yes, it's been a long time, but Rosa remembered it as if she had an elephant memory. Annie also remembers that after that Carina went to the bakery to tell her that."Rosa, you're right. But, that has been a long time and Sandra regret
CARINA'S STUDIO - DAYWhile Luís is found sleeping by his friends, Carina is wide awake, painting. Penha appears, NOT willing to take her "friend" and "future sister-in-law" to shop.Penha looks at Carina with hatred. She hates Carina because Carina is everything Mrs. Oliveira expected Penha to be: a sensible, wise, decent girl, a virgin until the wedding. Penha always embarrassed his mother and younger brother.So, fearing that Mr. Oliveira could do something extreme, Ricardo and Mrs. Oliveira did everything to hide their daughter's immoralities from the head of the family. When Penha introduced his first boyfriend, Ricardo was sure that she was no longer a virgin.The suspicion that Mrs. Oliveira had fallen ill due to heartbreak caused by her daughter martyred Penha and filled her with guilt; however, such guilt evaporates when a handsome boy pays attention to her. Rubens has been the boy of the time.When Anderson refused to have sex with Penha, she cheated on her boyfriend that sa
