DEDÉ BARRicardo is talking with Rubens. The bar is still empty, and they are readying for one more working night."I came to get young Wellington's report. How did he behave?"Rubens is funny, "To wash glasses, he does very well. I want to see him serve customers as a waiter.Ricardo is a joker, "That's right; these young people don't take courses, don't study, and don't pay attention in class... Then high school is over, the break is over, and dad already wants them to do something... Mom doesn't give that allowance anymore, and no longer cleans the room or washes the clothes... The good life ends and they wake up too late for reality.""I'm glad we're not like that, right, buddy?""Of course not, my parents paid me for the best school, the best college, and even though I didn't work in the area where I graduated, I never had a problem facing adult life. I knew that the good life of a teenager was going to end and I prepared myself psychologically. In the meantime we have Luis having
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - AFTERNOONFábio and Monica talk about his breakup."Thank you very much for coming here to check on me, Monica."Monica smiles, "Look, something was telling me that I wasn't going to find you in tears, but I wanted to come anyway."Fábio laughs, "Not really! Well, I'm not going to say dramatic things like 'Fábia was the worst mistake of my life' because in a way I liked her.""Yes, you liked her and I never interfered."Fábio takes two steps forward, "Never interfered... But, you never accepted."Monica lowers her head; she doesn't want to be the one who detonates the competitor, "Well, I wanted to keep the respect and distance between you. But it didn't help."Fábio complains, "Never! It was twenty-four hours complaining about something about you. 'Monica said that', 'Monica did that to me', 'Monica thought', 'Monica wants to separate us'. I don't understand why you became a threat to her."Monica speaks compassionately, "Gee, Fábio; it must have been difficult f
FÁBIO'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTMonica realizes it's already night and tries to leave, Fábio wants to continue the conversation."Is there a problem, Monica?""It's already night, I have to go home.""That's not it, Monica. I feel like you're nervous. Is this our conversation?""No, Fábio, I already found out what I wanted when I came here."Fábio approaches and gently takes Monica's hand. She gets goosebumps."But, I still haven't figured out what you want with your coming.""What do you want to find out?"Fábio starts to speak romantically, "Monica... Is there any possibility that one day we... Have our story?"Monica looks at him in surprise, "Like... make all the accusations and paranoia of Fábia Peres come true? Fill her with reason, for her to leave the neighborhood saying 'I told you she was going to steal my boyfriend from me'?"Fábio sighs. It won't be easy, "I don't care what Fábia Peres is going to say... She was already complaining when there was nothing between us. Anyway, you
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHTMonica opens the door for Carina and Annie, who coincidentally appeared at the same time. The three go to the couch."Girls, I'm glad you came. I have news to tell you."Annie says, "I have it too; it's more like a bomb."Carina is sadder, "I think mine is from Hiroshima."Monica notices their faces, "Oh, people, I’m so embarrassed to tell you what happened to me, nothing dramatic like that!""Then tell me, friend." Annie says, "Maybe it can cheer us up."Monica is all excited, "Well, there you go: Fábio kicked Fábia Peres! He's free!"It did not work."Oh, good for him..." Carina says without emotion, "But, what does that have to do with you?""Monica always had feelings for Fábio." Annie turns to Monica, "But, I don't know, my friend. I would tell you not to rush.""He already wanted and I said to wait. It's risky if later he wants to go back to her and I keep sucking my finger. No, let's take it easy, that's what I said. As seen, my news didn't cheer up,
CÉLIO HOUSE ENTRANCECélio is coming home. He has plastic bags in his hands indicating that he passed through the market. When he is approaching, once again he hears the Axé of the demons in the heights. Célio tries to ignore it and goes to the door of his house. Fábio appears behind him, shirtless, can of beer in hand."Oh, don't come with this call to the officer ‘cause today I have the right to celebrate!"Célio turns to him, hatred in his eyes, "Every day you want to celebrate. Look, I wonder how long your parents are going to keep this little king of yours. Fábia Peres will love it when the fountain dries up because if it depends on her, the two will go under the bridge.""Fábia Peres no longer has to worry about the future of my income. We are done!"Célio reacts to the novelty, surprised, "Is that the reason for the celebration? So you didn't really love her?""Of course I loved her, but she didn't appreciate that love. I wanted to go further, I even said about engagement, but s
CÉLIO HOUSE ENTRANCE - NIGHTCélio collects the bags that fell to the floor. Fábio laughs at his shock."Wow, man, were you in shock? Did you think that Monica didn't put up with me? The problem is that I chose Fábia Peres, now I intend to correct this mistake.""The only mistake I'm seeing here is just the two of you being together!""And by the way, have you declared yourself, clearly stated that you love her and want to date her?"Célio is quiet.Fábio goes on, "Of course not. You're always shy or proud. Because when you talk about it, you put your plans ahead of her.""I need to wait for the right moment!""Will Monica wait?""What do you mean by that?""Will Monica ever see you as a man she should trust? Will she be quiet waiting for you to quench your thirst to conquer the world? Until now, you only know how to pretend to be the mayor's secretary. I think not...""This is going to be her decision."Fábio smiles confidently, "I think she already decided by the time she came to my
MONICA'S LIVING ROOM Célio and Monica argue about Fábio. "No, Monica, you can't be serious. You can't date Fábio." "And why not, can I know?" Célio is vehement, "It's because you were born to get better man!" "And where is this better man that I can't see?" Célio doesn't dare to advertise himself, "Somewhere he is there. You have not forgotten Fábio even after everything he has done to you and now creep upon him at the first opportunity; you hardly expected the previous courtship to cool down completely." "Hey, didn't he tell you that we haven't decided on anything yet?" "He said you left the door open." Monica nods, "Exactly. He wanted to, but I told him to only look for me when he is sure he doesn't feel anything for Fábia Peres anymore." "Great! Next week he misses the blonde with the big guitar body and accepts her back, even with the stupidity." Monica shakes her head, "You never liked him, did you, Célio?" "I am not obliged to get along with any male, huh!" Monica sn
POLICE STATION - AFTERNOONCarina enters, looks at Carlos's table, and smiles. Carlos intends on making the monitor light up, he doesn't notice her approaching until she says, "After the campaign, we'll have the latest computer."Carlos remains serious, "If my requirements are met, for sure. What do you want, Carina?"Carina takes a deep breath, takes courage, "You know, Chief... Yesterday my friends and I decided to improve our lives.""I'm glad about that. What did you decide?"Carlos types again and Carina wonders if he's paying attention."Monica is going to allow herself a relationship with Fábio Dance, Annie is going to settle the score with her jealous boyfriend, and I also decided to open the door to love."Carlos continues to stare at the monitor, "And what did Miriam decide?"There's an embarrassing silence.Carina gulps and goes on, "Miriam didn't decide because she wasn't at the small meeting. It was just the three of us. There was even cheese and wine.""Doesn't Miriam lik
