CASCAIS BAKERYThe bakery is already closed and some of the lights are out. Even so, Jonas and Annie are having a snack sitting at one of the tables. Jonas is serious, determined to tell his girlfriend the whole truth, and too desperate to make her forget the owner of the snack bar.Annie asks him, "Jon, did I feel a certain animosity between you and Seu Aurélio, or was it my impression?""It wasn't your impression, honey. I'm pissed at him for a reason. And it's just about something you like, something you are involved in and are counting on him.""Is anything recent? I imagine it's about the police station campaign.""Yes, my love. He promised to pay for the print shop's order to produce cool and appropriate posters, right?"Annie smiles, "That. Seu Aurélio is a love.""He shouldn't promise what he can't keep."Annie was going to drink chocolate milk through the straw, but she is surprised by the information, with her arm stopped in the air, "How is it?""I saw him today at the Lotte
Annie reacts extremely shocked by Jonas. "Divorced?""Yes, dear, Malthus has such optimism for life, always in a good mood... And I admit with no homo that he must have been handsome when he was younger. He must have dated someone. He must have married or at least betrothed someone. But, with this way of him making promises that he cannot keep, even if it was with the good intention of helping... That one time tires the person, especially a woman who will depend on her entire future in the hands of an unstable man!"Tears start to flow from Annie's face, "He told me... The night we were at the pizzeria... He was engaged, more than once, but never got married. It's something like 'having a rotten finger' for the altar."Jonas smiles victoriously, it confirms his thesis.FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOMCélio accuses Fábio of lying to both Fábia Peres and Monica.Fábio gets outraged, "How dare you launch such an abject accusation on me?"Célio becomes a mocker, "Oh, the English lord was offended... S
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOMFábia Peres overhears Célio and Fábio's conversation and wants to understand. She arrives and leaves the purse on the sofa."First of all, what is this being doing here?"Célio replies, "Defending Monica from your evil attacks, creature.""You are the only man in the world who doesn't think I'm beautiful and who attacks me with words.""The only one who speaks IN FRONT OF YOU!"Fábio warns him, "Hey, don't mess with my girlfriend!"Fábia Peres shrugs, "What your friend Monica did is unforgivable, Célio. To keep implying that Fabinho would be able to demand that I do something since he does not do the same, would not have morale... It was a very low blow.""She told me that she didn't do it to hit it. You bothered her about scattered garbage that was actually yours and she accidentally ended up seeing some pages of..."Fábia Peres interrupts him with unmistakable enthusiasm, "Mr. Hot Guy! Wow, it was a five-year-old collection, some were limited editions! It had the
MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - DAYMonica is typing on the computer, producing more pages from her book, concentrating; until she looks to the side. She sees the novel purchased by Fábia Peres. Monica stops and reflects on what she will do. Knocks on the door make her wake up and stand up to answer.Monica opens the door and Annie enters anxiously, breathing badly."Monica! Something serious has happened, we have to do something!""Annie! What happened? Calm down, girl, let's sit down."Monica takes Annie to the sofa. She breathes deeply. Monica goes to the kitchen. Annie tries to calm down. Annie ends up seeing the book on Monica's desk. Monica returns with a cup of water."There—"Annie asked, "Monica, what is this? Are you drawing inspiration for your book like that, the naughty ones? Is that what your romance is about?""Hey girl, who do you take me for? Of course not! I found it in the garbage of Fábia: in the garbage that she insists on leaving near my door and at night, for the dogs to
RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATIONCássio and Célio are sitting at the table taking care of the correspondence. Tito passes to them and is leaving."Seu Tito, are you going to talk to Seu Aurélio today?""I said just yesterday, Célio. I managed to find him at the snack bar.""And then he is going to release the money?"Tito dodges, "Well, guys, he's going to withdraw from the bank.""Our neighborhood was awarded a Lottery House with an ATM," says Cássio."Ah, that's what he said to me, who knows; maybe he doesn't do that anyway? I'm going to get out in a little while. Keep taking care of this for me, ok?"Tito leaves nervous, fearing to have talked too much. Edward passes him uniformly.Cássio questions him, "Hey, Ed, are you going to school? Won't you be late?""There's still time. So, are you going to be paid for this service too?""Of course," Cássio says, "No way I'm going to work for free!"Célio adds jokingly, "We are not as lucky as Luis."But Ed informs them, "Seu Tito is also not having t
RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION - DAYCélio and Cássio start responding to letters in the name of the mayor.Cássio is typing, angry, "Okay, I think even my dad bought a computer."Célio scoffs at him, "Who ordered your calligraphy to be a scribble? If you write in your usual way, nobody would believe that it belongs to Tito.""And they really aren't, we are doing ideological forgery.""And are you a communist to falsify Tito's ideology?"Célio laughs, but Cássio remains swinging.Célio stops laughing and asks in amazement, "You're going to tell me you didn't get the joke.""Was that a joke?" Cássio ignores it."Yeah, I have to fix the soccer field for you to practice; in politics, you have no future.""You boring..." An instant of silence, "Huh, what do you think of Ed's information?""I doubt very much that Seu Tito wants to divert funds to renovate the car while the police station barely has a computer to record events.""Ah, dude, I don't know. We don't know him very well.""I'm concerned a
COR-DE-ROSA STATIONERYRosa is back to his post, following Monica's book. Carina enters. Rosa stops reading to attend to her."Good afternoon, Carina. What do you want today?""Ink for the common printer I have.""Are you still participating in the campaign for the police station?"Carina smiles, "I bet the girls told you. Yes, I am responsible for the illustration. I'll take care of the image editor, Rosa. I want to give my heart to this project, as it's to motivate people to action, and to help with the police station.""Yeah, I'm glad you're thinking like that. Because it seems like there are people who aren't taking it seriously..."Carina becomes apprehensive, "What do you mean? Should I know?"Rosa looks around, takes advantage that has no one, and speaks, "Miriam."Carina rolls her eyes, "What about her?""I was at the snack bar. Miriam was with another girl behind me, and they were talking as if I wasn't there. I heard Miriam talking about wanting to take sexy photos of Chief R
MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONFábio questions Monica about the origin of her books with the book that Fábia Peres threw away.Monica defends herself, "You know me, Fábio. I don't like these readings. My style is more Clarice Lispector..."Fabio still doesn't believe it, "So what the hell is this book doing on your desk? Besides the drafts? What did you intend? I came here to apologize for Monday's words, but —"Monica smiles, "Did you come to apologize?""Yes, but now I don't know if it's worth it.""Fábio, first of all, apologies accepted. Now, as I told you, this book is not mine. On the contrary, I was intending to show it to you."Fábio raises one of his eyebrows, "This muscular guy doesn't attract me much for reading..."Monica laughs, she’s calmer, "No, Fabinho, it's not for you to read. It's just that I found it in the garbage of Fábia Peres. She insists on leaving the bags ahead of time and I caught dogs wanting to rip the plastic bags. When I went to chase them away, one of
