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
MONICA’S LIVING ROOM Fábio is still balanced with the discovery, and Monica is trying to clean up her image. "Believe me, Fábio. I haven't even put my garbage out yet. Fábia doesn't even have a tall basket, and she insists on putting the garbage next to mine... As if it were on purpose." "She's fumbling." "Anyway, I hope you understand that I just wanted to open your eyes. And again I'm sorry for being suspicious of you." Fábio smiles and approaches Monica, "Monica, I —" We hear the voice of Fábia Peres, "Monica, you bastard!" Fábio takes two steps before Fábia catches him with Monica. She lets out an exclamation of impatience. Fábia emerges from the door and widens. "I got the curse, damn you! Didn't I tell you several times to stay away from my boyfriend? But, no! You bring him here!" Fábio answers firmly, "Fábia, I came here on my own. I came to apologize for what happened, for the harsh words I said to her." "And he ended up making it easier for me to show him that." Moni
MONICA’S LIVING ROOM - DAYFábia Peres lies to Fábio, in the presence of Monica, that the book found in the trash is not hers. Monica gets outraged by the bolder one."How do you dare to lie like that?"Fábia addresses Fábio, "Honey, don't you realize that it's another trick of this bastard to separate us? I've never read this book in my life!"Fábio is analyzing the situation, "Calm down, Fábia. You first came here screaming like crazy, what is it?""I wanted to ask why this meddlesome put my trash in her basket!"Monica puts her hand on her forehead, "Is it possible? I had just told Fábio that you once again dumped the trash ahead of time."Fábia Peres is always stupid, "The truck passes today; I put it yesterday to anticipate.""It was the dogs' time to enjoy it! Luckily I was still awake writing the book when I saw their movement. At the same time, the dogs came and I put everything in my basket. Only the scumbag where this book was already torn, it was like that I found.""It does
CASCAIS BAKERYAnnie is in front of an angry Jonas, hearing the news about Aurélio. She is very happy."He did it, Jonas! Seu Aurélio got the loan and he's going to pay for the printer!""No! It can't be!"Annie hugs Jonas and does not correctly interpret his reaction, "Yes, it seems impossible, hard to believe. But, that's right; he went to the bank with the face and courage, the firm determination to help in our cause. Isn't that awesome? For a moment I thought we had to ask Ricardo for help."The hug is broken."Who is Ricardo?" Jonas asks, frowning.Annie purses her lips, "A bad guy who lives near Monica and Carina. He was trying to help, but of course, we denied it."Jonas speaks rationally, "If he was trying to help, who are we to deny it?""We are decent people, Jon! I won't take a cent from the guy accused of fomenting the first electric cat in the neighborhood. It's the same guy I hit the bottle in his head, who I thought was going to rape Carina right here in his bakery!"Jon
CARINA’S STUDIO - NIGHTCarlos enters guided by Monica to Carina's studio. It would be the second bedroom in the house, but as Carina is alone, she made it her workplace. Several paintings and canvases of different sizes, several of them already painted were scattered around the corners. Slight smell of paint. Carina is sitting on a stool, smiling lightly, serenely, and inspired as the artists say. Carlos looks and captures everything that has been said, and then looks at her with respect.Carina asks gently, "Are you scared, cop?"He answers solemnly, "Respect. I'm in the territory of a professional. Carina... Your pictures are beautiful! Where did you study?""Royal Hill University, but I couldn't finish the course. I'm here raising my life, maybe I'll be back.""Come back, finish it. You're going far, dear.""I've been telling her several times, Carlos." Monica says, "Maybe in the future, she can teach other people."Carina agrees, "If they open an Arts workshop project for our neig
MIRIAM'S BEDROOMMiriam and Sandra are sitting on the bed, with photographs spread out before them. Sandra takes one. She sees Carlos posing as a friendly cop, smiling."I think this one could be the chosen one. It shows an apparently angry and serious authority in a friendlier, companionable pose as if to say 'you can trust'."Miriam is oblivious to the comment, "And he looks cute too when he smiles."Sandra slaps her hand on the photographs, "Honey, focus!""You're asking me for the impossible when it comes to Carlos!""It's necessary! Do you want to wash his uniforms? Do you want to marry him with the corporation by shooting in the air? Do you want to have your honeymoon in Paris?""Yes, yes, I do!""Then never repeat this story of trying to take pictures of him as if it were for those calendars!""What does it cost for a little one pic...?"Sandra slaps the deluded face of Miriam. She is steadfast, the voice of reason."Do you know what it costs you? Do you know what it costs you?
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTFábio questions Fábia's motivations for trusting him. He was increasingly disappointed, "I don't understand, Fábia! You say that Monica wants to separate us, but she says something negative about me and you readily believe her! That is, you didn't fulfill our agreement from the heart, and Monica was the pretext that you wanted to violate our pact!""Stop this pact thing that I don't get involved with Satan!"Fábio sinks into the armchair, "God makes covenants too... Instead of reading those books, why don't you read the Bible?""Oh, and you with that collection in your wardrobe read the Bible too, right?""It doesn't prevent me from having some basic knowledge... unlike you who are not interested in anything!""What did you say?""You didn't even read the book, just bought by the cover! It was a thick book of over two hundred pages. But, it was too much for your limited head, right?""Are you calling me stupid?"Fábio now bounces on the chair, "Am I always g
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOMFábio and Fábia Peres are already at the limit of the discussion."Fábio Dance, tell me what kind of dating is this in which the girlfriend hears the same insults from her archenemy?"Fábio walks around, "Maybe it's time to rethink this relationship.""Yes, we are going to rethink because the way it is, we cannot go on."Fábio laments with his head, she doesn't understand again, "That's what I'm talking about. We can't even communicate properly. I would have to force myself to be stupid like you, and I don't want that."Fábia Peres reacts with contempt, "Do you want me to be an intellectual like Monica?""There is another question: for you, everything is about Monica. You are the one who talks more about her than I do, and then I am the one who does not forget her!""That woman got into our lives and never left!""Is it really her? Well, I don't want you to be intellectual 'like Monica', but at least, you could prove that you went to high school!""You know how hard
