MIRIAM’S BEDROOMSandra breaks into Miriam's room, she was happier making her bed."Can I know what you were doing hugging your rival?"Miriam replies still staring at the mattress, "A good day to you too, dear!"Sandra wiggles and asks impatiently, "Miriam, tell me something: did you forgive Monica?"Miriam looks at Sandra, "I honestly don't understand the reason for your exasperation. And how did you know, were you spying on me?""They left the door wide open and I heard voices. I had to check.""You 'had'... You were just dying of curiosity; assume so you are more honest."Sandra becomes annoyed., "And then, you will answer me...""OK! Monica came here and assured me that she doesn't want anything to do with Carlos. And honestly, on Saturday, she didn't have the same strong reaction as Carina. We can discard her.""Are you sure about that?""Yes, she must be focused on Célio. I heard that she is writing a novel, I want to read it when it’s published.""Me too... But, I don't think i
MALTHUS SNACK BAREd goes into the snack bar like a hurricane. Aurélio already imagines what happened."Shouldn't you go straight home, Ed?"Ed asks as if he's able to punch someone, "Not before without questioning the miracle of multiplication. I asked for a cheese pastry—""That I didn't have...""And I received two minced meat pastries with a juicy broth!"Aurélio raises his hands to the sky, "Hallelujah, isn't it?""Look out the lightning, sinner!" Ed scolds him as a legitimate Priest, "Your hand will get leprosy and then I won't come to eat anymore. If Pizzaria De Luca sells cheese pizza, that's where I go."Aurélio does not understand.Ed goes on, "And now, how am I going to pay you for the pastries?""You don't have to pay me, just return the spare.""There is no spare because I ate them both! Why did you have to make the broth so juicy?"Aurélio laughs out loud, even the customers are frightened.MEDICAL POSTCarina goes on to talk to Ricardo, still embarrassed and demure.Rica
MEDICAL POST - DAYRicardo refuses to register a complaint of aggression and wants to release the girls. Carlos is suspicious.Carina gets up without understanding, "What are you up to, sir?"Ricardo complains, "Oh, God, that 'sir' again..."Monica scoffs, "Do you believe in God, Ricardo?""Everyone intelligent believes that there is a Higher Being."Carlos takes a deep breath. He hates it when Ricardo squanders wisdom, "Mr. Oliveira, if you are not going to accuse the girls or the girl; at least I'll have to disturb you. Even more with this thing that you said was your fault. I'll wait for your recovery and I'll wait for you at the police station. Do not wait until I pick you up. Excuse me."Carlos leaves.Annie asks, "So is this it? Am I forgiven?"Ricardo smiles, eyes closed, "Yes, Annie. Go back to the bakery that your boyfriend must be concerned about.""So I'm gone!" Annie hurries out.Monica yells at her, "Wait, Annie, I haven't even told you the news yet!"Monica, without think
MALTHUS SNACK BARMonica and Annie are at a table. Aurélio serves their request."Girls, you look concerned. What happened?"Monica nods positively to Annie.Annie explains with somewhat regret, "I was talking to Carina about our campaign for the police station when Ricardo overheard our conversation. He came over and said he wanted to help."Aurélio responds with disdain, "I just believe after seeing...""He tried to be very close to Carina, and she was very scared, she thought he was going to hurt her... And I, who was also scared to death, didn't think twice and hit a bottle of Baré on his head."Aurélio shouts vibrantly, "Very good!"Customers around look at Aurélio.Monica is embarrassed in their place, "Oh, Seu Aurélio, reduce the excitement there.""So, how did this get resolved?"Annie goes on, "We called Chief Roldão and Ricardo was sent to the Medical Center here in the neighborhood. He will survive. The problem is the scare we got, thinking he was going to die.""Oh, girls,
STREET - EVENINGSandra is walking down the sidewalk to go to her home. Annie turns the corner and will find her in the opposite direction. Sandra smiles as soon as she sees her."Hello, Annie! How are you?""I'm fine, thank God. You know, Sandra, I've been wishing to talk to you for a while.""Let's go home.""If we go straight to the point, I think we won't even need it. I have noticed you are very close to Miriam, our friend too. Including in that shame she gave on Saturday, at the Residents' Association. Now they are commenting on the possibility that Miriam is in love with Chief Roldão, is that it?"Sandra replies cautiously: "Look, friend, you know I'm not gossipy. I was talking to Miriam that day and she was right on top of the officer when she saw her with Carina.""How ugly, she didn't need it. After all, what was Carina's fault? Don't you know about the campaign we're creating?""Cássio told me. They want to campaign to convince residents to support the neighborhood police st
MONICA ROOM - NIGHTCélio and Monica are each on a sofa, analyzing the two printers' budgets with glasses of juice on the coffee table. Célio momentarily looks up at Monica's table. He sees the printed sheets of the second book."And how's the second book going?""It's going well, despite the interruptions.""Interruptions like mine?"Monica is quick to answer, "No, Célio! It's not that, it's other things that cause me the famous writer's block.""Can you tell me what they are?"Monica leans back on the sofa, looking away. In her mind, she hears Fábio's voice speaking his last sentence."I thought you were different. Smart, with content, mature... But, now I see that it's all a facade. If you are also an intriguing stand, then it doesn't matter if I stay with Fábia Peres. At least she trusts me and loves me".Célio cuts off her reverie by speaking louder, "Monica!""Sorry, Célio, I was remembering.""I'm here to hear you.""It was Fábio. He came to my house this morning to say that he
MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTCélio asked Monica if she still feels something for Fábio.She looks at him and reflects before answering, "Célio, you know that in the past we had... feelings."Célio responds dryly, "Feeling is not a relationship.""I know, I know... is that—" She gets up, "Every woman who gets involved with a man, has hopes... Unless she is completely disembarrassed, not to say anything else."Célio holds a laugh, "Do you, Monica, have hope with Fábio Dance?"Monica cast him a cold stare, "No judgment, Célio."Célio regrets, "Sorry, Monica.""It turns out that I cried more for what he said to me than for the fact that he says that he has already thought about the possibility of leaving Fábia Peres.""If he really valued you, he knew how cool you are... He would have done that already. Fábia Peres is just blond hair and a hot body, for God!""Yeah, you're right. So, that was it. I started a silly argument and now I'm like the villain in the story.""It's a story without f
RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATIONMiriam enters the arena where Annie, Cássio, Célio, Carina, and Tito are already talking about the campaign.Célio begins, "Monica went to take the budget and is already coming back.""I hope Aurélio accepts it," Cassio says."Can you imagine," Annie says, "If it gets expensive for him and we have to depend on Ricardo?"Carina shakes and pales at the thought, "Don't even mention it as a joke, friend."Cássio frowns, "Hey, Carina, I don't understand why you stayed late watching over that jerk.""Charge of conscience, Cassio, he took the bottle hit because of me."Célio reacts bitterly, "This guy was chasing you, Carina."Carina turns to him wide-eyed, "Really, Célio?"Célio explains, "No offense because you are beautiful and he must be glazed."Miriam decides to end the party, "Hello, good day!"Tito rejoices in her presence, "Now look! We have more volunteers!"Miriam gets shocked and tilts her head, "Volunteers? Is no one here being paid?"Everyone laugh.Annie
