"My mom never liked this place." "She preferred our country house, the apartment at the beach..." "I didn"t let her get rid of this place." "My dad dreamed about living here." "If only he didn"t die before her." "But she was stronger." "She has always been stronger." "Remarkable woman." "Do you intend to keep the house?" "I don"t know." "Mr. Sumaqueiro told me about a couple." "That"s right." "People are interested." "My brother-in-law is." "He"s nice and fishes in the area." "How much are they paying?" "It"s too soon." "There"s the inventory yet." "For now we should get it fixed in order to increase its value." "Has it really been..." "Too long." "My mom never let me come back here." "And there was my husband, my daughter, my job..." "Two Streams..." "My submissive dad"s den..." "Dawn star..." "Circe"s Island..." "Excess of the paradise." "We have to witness the squatter"s expulsion." "It"s the law." "I"II go with you." "Claudio!" "Where did you get the gun?" "Security, ma"am." "Have you gone mad?" "Put the gun away, boy." "Come, Ana Paula." "It"s all under control." "Are you José?" "Yes, sir." "Mrs. Ana Paula here is the rightful owner." "She came to take over the land and house." "What about Mr. Valente?" "He"s lost the usurpation case." "You know about it!" "Offering resistance, are you?" "We"d better wait Mr. Valente." "José, you are not getting it!" "He doesn"t own anything!" "The house belongs to her." "We"re coming in." "You"II have to leave." "He"s gonna take it on us!" "He won"t." "That"s why the police"s here." "Where is Valente?" "In Säo Paulo." "Comes back Sunday." "Bullshit!" "The crook is in Paraguay until Christmas." "Go pack up." "The truck will take you wherever you want." "And the children?" "Put them all in the truck!" "It"s depressing." "If all evictions were that easy..." "Is it always that rose petals at your advertising agency?" "Of course not." "But it"s different." "The inheritance is yours, the dirty work., your layer"s." "That"s terrible." "You don"t spare anything, huh Armando?" "Naughty boy!" "Wait up!" "I"II get you!" "Right now!" "I"II get you!" "Wait, you naughty boy!" "Little prick!" "I"m fine, Claudio." "Go help Mr. Sumaqueiro." "Let"s get through with it." "Won"t you go in the house?" "Later." "After they"ve gone away." "Please, go." "Do you still remember me?" "Always." "Was I so important to you?" "To me, to Lydia and to Tereza." "It lasted so little." "Four days." "A lifetime." "That was the last time I took the train here." "For my friend Lydia, it was her fiirst." "I had never seen her so happy." "She was fiinally on her own without her father, Gen. Gutierrez." "We"d lied to him saying my father Jairo would take us by car." "White lies." "Minor subversions." "Tereza had traveled two weeks in advance to care of you." "She was now waiting for us at the station." "Tereza." "She was more than a stepdaughter." "She was my second sister... and a mother Isolda never was." "How are you?" "l"m great!" "Papers!" "What"s happening?" "Nothing really." "Everything is normal." "You may go, now." "Papers." "Papers!" "This one here is Pimpolho..." "son of Joaquim, the housekeeper." "Hi, Pimpolho!" "Give me the bag." "Ana, I have to go to the bakery to buy milk and bread." "Take advantage of it to show Lydia the main square." "Is that OK?" "Sure." "We were dying to ask Tereza about you." "But we didn"t have the nerve." "Mom told me they were trying to offiicialize your return to the country... and that you should stay hidden until then." "It was absurd to my adolescent mind someone far from their children so long." "There was a family branch in the south that I had never seen." "You, the pirate." "The black sheep of the family." "The rebel young child..." "Mom never said what you did for a living." "Lydia and I used to wonder a lot of things." "You as a smuggler, as a forger..." "Even as a sorcerer." "And we nicknamed you "Cagliostro"." "A wayward warlock who exchanged his kids for witchcraft... in the east." "We were foreign to what was really happening." "Won"t you ask about him?" "You"re more curious than me." "Why hasn"t he come with Tereza?" "I told you." "He can"t be seen." "I think he"s a communist." "Didn"t you see that at the station?" "They must be after him." "Are you crazy?" "You think my mother would have a communist brother..." "and hide him in dad"s farm?" "Who knows?" "My dad says they"re everywhere." "Even my sister"s boyfriend"s got involved." "The old man sent the boy to jail." "Lucia threatened suicide, she ran away from home." "Then they let him go." "The General should"ve married my mom!" "Thanks, Mrs. Kemla." "When can we meet?" "Tomorrow." "I"II "escape" at the usual time." "What if I suddenly show up at the farm?" "No way!" "Nobody should know about us." "If godmother finds out, she sends me away." "And Ana Paula"s just arrived." "Tereza, what do they take you for?" "A slave?" "That concerns only to me." "Gee, Tereza." "You look very hot in these clothes." "Behave, Percival!" "I can"t help it!" "I"II end up taking you right here!" "Rude." "Aren"t you telling?" "I swear I won"t tell mom." "Who is the soldier?" "What soldier?" "Come on!" "He"s your boyfriend, right?" "Watch out, the boy is here!" "That"s why you agreed to come:" "to look after my uncle." "You never liked leaving Säo Paulo." "It"s him, isn"t it?" "Yes." "Did you meet him in Sao Paulo?" "Yes." "What a coincidence, isn"t it?" "Are you getting married and leaving us?" "Nonsense." "I"m not getting married." "It"s like I promised you." "You"II get married first." "Later on, who knows?" "Deal?" "TWO STREAMS" "You were alone with Tereza for two weeks..." "Didn"t you feel anything for her?" "Tereza is very pretty... sweet." "But it was as if she was my sister"s daughter, too." "Like you." "What"s uncle like?" "Your uncle?" "Serious, polite... a nice person." "I don"t know!" "He"s a good-Iooking man, but distant." "Very quiet." ""Cagliostro"..." "The mysterious man!" "He just likes to be alone." "But he is very handsome." "Mr. Cagliostro enchanted Tereza." "Pimpolho likes him." "Sorcerers enchants kids, animals..." "Quit it!" "Did he mention my cousins?" "He did, once." "He misses them very much." "Then Pimpolho showed up and they went to play checkers." "Mom was so odd, wasn"t her?" "She spoke about you in a weird way." "With disdain... disgust... and some admiration." "Isolda never saw my kids, you know?" "If I hadn"t fled south when your grandpa died... I"d never have got married nor would I"ve got into politics." "Hi, Joaquim." "Hi, how are you?" "He is the housekeeper." "Pimpolho"s father." "This is Maria, Joaquim"s wife." "This is my "little sister"." "Why don"t you unpack and come with me?" "OK." "For God"s sake, Lydia." "Not now!" "Lydia, come here." "It"s him." "Cagliostro!" "Girls, go wash your hands." "Hermes said it was tuned up." "Can he play?" "Not that I know of, but he knows about it." "Tereza, come here." "Is that him down there?" "Where?" "The boy eats a whole lot, huh?" "What about uncle?" "Isn"t he coming?" "He almost never eats." "He"s probably reading in his room." "Or he"s..." "on the boat." "I don"t know." "Didn"t he ask about us?" "He never asks anything." "Schumann." "I"ve always imagined the waltz slower, like you played it." "Whose is it?" ""Improvisations" by Franz Schubert." "Are you... a musician, sir?" "A frustrated one." "How is Isolda?" "I"m not your niece." "You"re..." "General Gutierrez"s daughter." "Gee!" "I didn"t know my father was so popular." ""Popular" isn"t the word." "Do you know him?" "By name." "Are you a communist, per chance?" "Why?" "Can you see it in my eyes?" "You knew my father"s name..." "I don"t know." "This one you won"t guess." ""The Awakening of the Mountain" by Eduardo Souto." "Here"s the heiress." "Stop being silly." "Some people are this way." "Less affectionate." "I keep away from the kids myself!" "This Pimpolho gets on my nerves." "He"s such a nosey brat!" "That"s because you have an annoying little brother." "Look what I found for you." "Godfather hid it so well it was hard to find." "Feeling better?" "When did your dad last play the piano?" "I don"t know." "I only saw him play it once." "I was very young." "We came alone, without mom." "Tereza always comes with him." "So, Tereza?" "Jairo always plays when he comes without godmother." "Not like you, of course." "But when he sits there, it"s like the music is all his." "The world fades away." "This green one, he plays it a lot." "It"s quite strange." "Skryabin." "Gee, he must know a lot!" "Skryabin is darn hard!" "Would you believe mom made him sell grandpa"s German grand piano?" "Your mom is tough." "After that, he quit playing in front of her." "She didn"t sell this one, because she keeps away from here." "Where is that little monster?" "Who?" "Pimple." "It"s "Pimpolho"!" "While I"m here I want that kid away from this piano." "Where is Pimpolho, anyway?" "Tereza, you"re the best." "Isn"t the boy bothering you?" "Eusébio?" "Not at all." "He"s my partner." "I didn"t know that was his name." "Even his parents call him Pimpolho." "But he doesn"t like it." "Right, Eusébio?" "You"re so nice to him." "I was rude to Ana Paula." "Have you seen any picture of your godmother at her age?" "She doesn"t keep her stuff." "Among other imperfections my sister has no memory." "They are identical." "That"s impressive!" "ButAna is more like her father." "I hope so." "Why does everyone pick on her?" "Why does everybody hate godmother?" "Isolda?" "She"s a selfish woman." "She destroys those who love her." "Look at poor Jairo." "But she took you in." "She doesn"t want people to know she"s got a subversive brother." "She hired lawyers who"II get you back to your family." "To get rid of the burden I am to the family... to her." "Do the girls know I"m... in the country illegally" "They know you"re in trouble but don"t know why." "Ana was dying to meet you." "She fights a lot with godmother." "And why didn"t you leave Isolda yet?" "Because she brought me up... like a daughter." "She owed your mother." "That"s the least she could do." "Dinner is ready." "Can I take the glass?" "While you"re with her you can"t get married, you know?" "She thinks she owns people." "Is anybody else coming to dinner?" "Pimpolho is." "He always has dinner with us." "Hermes wants it so." "There." "Eusébio"s painted the whole fence already." "Let"s wash our hands." "He"s really "adopted" your son, Maria." "When Hermes goes back south Pimpolho will miss him." "Let him go along with Hermes, Maria." "Is the living room TV working?" "Very badly." "That"s because of the antenna." "To be here is to be isolated from everything." "It"s dad"s wish for old age." "lf your mother allows him." "Show some respect, Ana." "Eusébio"II scrape his plate, won"t you?" "You two study together?" "We used to." "At a conservative, reactionary catholic school." "It"s even worse now." "They"ve cancelled classics." "Were you taking classics?" "Not me, she was." "Then she switched and we met again." "Stop poking out your tongue, prick." "What course are you taking, Ana Paula?" "Latin Language and Literature." "You want to starve to death." "How about you?" "Me?" "I want to have enough money to keep studying piano." "If you were a man, you"d join the military." "No way!" "Dad"s preparing my brother for that." "How about you, sir?" "What" did you study?" "Chemical Engineering." "But I got into politics... and became a councilman and almost a state representative." "Opposition, of course." "Of course." "And you, Tereza?" "What would you study if you could?" "She took Nursing classes." "Why didn"t she go all the way?" "Really?" "I didn"t want the career." "Mom didn"t allow it." "No." "She paid for my studies... as well as the final course." "Sure." "So she could have her own maid." "Ah, Isolda." "She what I call "pragmatic"." "Pragmatic?" ""Calculating, more like!" "Don"t say bad things about godmother." "Go give Ana Paula a kiss." "Good night." "Ana..." "Do you want some coffee, sir?" "Anything?" "Stop calling me "sir"." "Are you going to lock up?" "NO, that"s OK." "I"Iljust lock this door." "It"s just that... you always sleep early, sir." "It"II be a tough night." "Why?" "Memories." "I can"t see their faces." "Whose faces?" "My kids"." "Do you want a sleeping pill?" "I don"t want to sleep." "Go rest." "I"II take care of everything." "Aren"t you tired?" "He hugged me, Tereza." "Didn"t I tell you?" "What happened between him and mom?" "I don"t know." "Isolda never talked about him and then he shows up out of the blue." "His eyes, when he looked at me..." "He must hate her." "Nonsense." "That"s brother and sister stuff." "We have nothing to do with that." "Sure." "What"s worrying you?" "I don"t know." "It"s weird." "That"s nothing." "Never mind." "Go to sleep." "Are you all right, sir?" "I"m sorry." "It"s not working out." "Not anymore." "Don"t you realize this is not the time or place for this?" "You wanted it." "I wanted?" "Why can"t we go to the farm?" "Why not at your place?" "Are you going to start it?" "I"m not asking for anything." "You"re married and have to respect my life." "Gee, Tereza." "I"m doing it for you." "This way you"II never cum." "But you feel it, don"t you?" "You think I"m selfish, right?" "Come on, Tereza!" "Who taught you everything?" "Wasn"t it me?" "What do you say?" "I never saw you naked through all this time." "Isn"t that good enough?" "No!" "That"s not!" "You treat me like some kid!" "I"ve got two kids, Tereza!" "I"m no kid!" "I"II find someone else." "Easy." "Someone else?" "Look, you wife, I can take it..." "but if you get someone else..." "That"s not good!" "The way we"re doing isn"t healthy." "Nonsense." "You"re just too fast." "Fast?" "What do you know about it?" "Look, I"m very manly, got it?" "It"s you who don"t cooperate." "I have to do everything." "Take me back to town." "Let"s try it again." "Come here, Tereza." "Take me back, please!" "I still want you, Tereza." "I want all of you!" "Tereza, look." "I"II leave my wife." "I"II leave it all behind!" "l"m not asking you that!" "l"II do it, damn it!" "I don"t want that!" "You"ve got to go back to the barracks, don"t you?" "I have to take care of the girls." "Let"s go." "Slow down or I"II fall off!" "At least I"II give you some thrill this way!" "Please, don"t run!" "Thanks, Antonio, for taking care of the cart." "Did you give water to Guariba?" "Yes." "Keep away from that guy." "The sergeant is no good." "What sergeant?" "He told the whole barracks." "I know "cause ljoined there." "Ridiculous." "That"s none of my business." "But you"re such a nice girl..." "Look here!" "I won"t listen to this..." "Everyone likes you here." "But..." "He has two other women in Jaú." "I shouldn"t be telling you this." "He"s not so bad." "Do you know what"s his nickname?" ""Cherrypopper"." "I won"t allow it!" "Specially with you." "So?" "Did you speak to her?" "I said too much." "I think I"II never stand a chance now." "Did you know Tereza"s mother?" "Very well." "How did she die?" "Do you know how she died?" "When Tereza"s mother showed up pregnant... she no longer lived with us." "My sister made a deal with her." "She"d have the baby, Isolda would adopt it and... good bye." "What do you mean, "good bye"?" "She"d have to disappear." "Vanish." "Is she alive?" "No, she died in Rio Grande do Sul." "She used to take care of my kids." "What do you mean?" "When I settled south, I came to pick her up... to live with us." "I felt I owed her that." "She looked after Isolda and me." "How did she die?" "Cancer." "And sadness." "You really liked her, didn"t you?" "Yes, I did." "She was a mother, a sister... a nanny, a confidante, a nurse..." "The first love of my life." "My first woman." "Can you imagine what Isolda did when she knew about it?" "She threw her out." "Made my spoiled boy"s life hell." "Then, two years later... she showed up pregnant." "She was sick, exhausted." "That was when... they made that deal." "Did you meet again?" "No..." "We were only together once." "I was very young." "But it was wonderful." "Only the ephemeral makes impressions." "I"ve told you real intimacies... like in a pat of silence." "Ana, get this prick out of here!" "Come, Pimpolho." "What were you playing just now?" "I got you, huh?" "You don"t know that one." "Promise you won"t get upset?" "Don"t tell me you know it." "Busoni." "Ferruccio Busoni." "Give me a break!" "Are you a musician or a communist, after all?" "I told you I"m not a musician." "But you are a communist." "Where"s Tereza?" "I don"t know." "She went in the room." "Weeping." "Where did you learn so much about music?" "All right." "My wife..." "She"s a virtuoso." "She plays harp." "Piano, too." "Not as well as you." "But she"s... pretentious." "Like you." "Cezar Franck." "Can you play it?" "Cezar Franck..." "You"re the pretentious one!" "Can I help you?" "Have you two had sex?" "Sure." "He has to marry you, then." "I don"t want to marry." "I feel nothing with him." "Why do you stay with him?" "Because he wants me." "I don"t know." "Darn!" "If it"s not good, why do you do it?" "Because he wants so." "That"s OK." "Put an end to it, Tereza." "The world is full of men." "You"re so cool..." "Forget about it." "I"m going to put an end to it." "My way." "My kid"s godfather, who is my best friend... talked me into politics." "When he was forced to leave the country..." "I went along." "At that time, what mattered was the faith in the utopia." "To prepare our return." "Is it always like this?" "At this time of the year the rain falls without warning." "And the power goes out." "Thank God your uncle and Joaquim got the generator fixed." "That"s awful!" "No power, that"s all we need." "You"re terrible." "You know what?" "This is very boring." "There"s something I"ve always wanted to do and was never allowed to." "What is it?" "Girl, for God"s sake!" "Ana, do something!" "Ana, get back here!" "Ana, get this kid out of here." "Come here, PimpoIho." "He wants to give you a gift." "He wants to bug me." "Ouch!" "Get this animal out of here!" "Get it out, damn it!" "It"s just a frog." "Get it out!" "That"s disgusting!" "I don"t like touching it, either!" "It jumped on my legs!" "Get it off me!" "Eusébio." "Get the frog." "Take it outside." "Didn"t you notice?" "What?" "The poor thing peed." "Can you play?" "Why didn"t you say before?" "You always wanted to play with the kid." "Lydia is a good girl." "A bit spoiled." "Her father is very jealous." "I don"t know how he let her travel with Ana." "He must trust your sister." "You know who her dad is, right?" "I know he"s a severe man." "Strict." "cruel." "He can"t be." "He has a lovely family." "The country will suffer if this man rises to power." "Have you heard about torture?" "His kids have nothing to do with it." "She"s beautiful, isn"t she?" "A French poet used to say some are born with the beauty and talent..." "of those who die young." "That"s awful." "It was a way to express the unobtainable." "I don"t get surprised anymore..." "with the prodigy ones." "I was married to one." "Don"t you love your wife anymore?" "She"s got someone else." "When my Iife is in order again, I"II fight to get my kids back." "I"II try to take my kids away from her." "You think that fair?" "Arrogant." "selfish." "I don"t want my kids like that." "That didn"t count." "You distracted me." "I"II check on the girls." "Excuse me." "Is everything OK?" "How embarrassing." "Right in front of him." "Nonsense." "He didn"t even notice it." "Are you sure?" "Yes." "Why do you care so much about his opinion?" "She"s in love with him!" "You are!" "girls!" "He"s old enough to be your father!" "Don"t exaggerate." "She"s bugging me." "Never seen a man before." "Not me." "I"ve got a boyfriend." "He"s a cadet atAguIhas Negras." "Another serviceman." "Can we go to town with you tomorrow?" "What for?" "I don"t know." "Go for a walk, have an ice cream..." "She"s got an appointment." "I"II take you there." "What about your appointment?" "That"s OK." "I"II take you." "What"s the appointment for?" "None of you business." "Then I"m not telling you what your uncle did to me." "What do you mean?" "You tell first." "She"IIjust dump her boyfriend." "Now it"s your turn." "He kissed me." "What?" "I swear!" "On the mouth?" "nearly." "You lie too much!" "Do you see how much you"re in love with your uncle?" "Lydia, go to hell!" "You really piss me off sometimes!" "Oh, yeah?" "Good night!" "I"II pick you up here in one hour." "Two hours would be better." "No." "One hour is good enough." "Where can we rent a bicycle?" "At the square." "What for?" "Where?" "Right there." "Have you seen a brunette pass by in a cart?" "She went that way." "What are you up to?" "Action." "I want to see how messy it" gonna get." "I shouldn"t have told you." "As if you"re not curious too." "Damn lying brat." "That"s why I don"t like kids." "Let"s go back." "No way." "I paid for an hour." "Let"s go to the water tower." "We can see the whole city from there." "Go all the way up there?" "Come, you lazy." "When I marry, I"m not taking the pill." "I"m going to have my pipes tied up." "Are you crazy?" "No way I"m having kids!" "I doubt it." "You"re just saying it." "You"II Iove the baby when you see it" "No way!" "If I"m lucky, I"II find me a sterile husband." "To be your doormat, right?" "Of course!" "You"re gonna end up with a priapic communist." "Priapic?" "Do you know what the hell that means?" "A man who has a constant erection!" "Where did you learn that from?" "Dr." "Fritz Kahn"s book." "What?" "Just let Mother Leodocárdia know about that!" "How is it again?" "Priapic?" "And communist." "Then it must be your uncle, right?" "You see?" "It"s all right for you to joke around." "Not me." "Get out of here, you bitch." "Who do you think you are?" "You come to my house... and tell a bunch of lies about me to my wife!" "She has to know it all, you coward!" "What are you thinking?" "This is a respectable home!" "It"s not a whorehouse!" "You damn bitch!" "slut!" "For God"s sake, baby!" "Stop calling me ""baby""!" "You"II pay for that." "I"II go to Jaú after the others!" "Forget about it, baby!" "Let go!" "Son of a bitch!" "Let go of me!" "I"II kill her!" "I"II kill her." "Let go!" "Let go of me!" "Let go of me!" "This is my family!" "It"s sacred to me!" "It"s sacred!" "Do you want to go to the hospital?" "I want to go home." "call the police." "Leave it the way it is." "My dad"s a general." "He"s finished." "Go to the hospital." "I want to go home." "Are you all right?" "No." "He"II have to pay for it!" "I"II take the cart." "The bicycles!" "Are they Mamede"s?" "Yes." "I"II take care of it." "Take her." "Leave it to me!" "Go, Guariba!" "Go, Guariba!" "Give me the name and regiment of that bastard." "He"II see!" "violence is paid back with violence." "It"s over." "What"s done is done." "My old man is right." "You"re all a bunch of sheep." "You get beaten and accept it." "If a guy did that to me..." "Poor lady." "I made a mistake." "What happened?" "I told her." "Everything." "I had to share it with her." "It was really dirty." "He is the dirty one." "Leave it to me, and you"II see." "Enough!" "We had it!" "What?" "You heard me!" "You are like this because of dad"s reputation." "He"s a man." "A brazilian one!" "Right!" "Even the army knows he"s a lunatic." "Why isn"t he in power yet?" "Who told you that?" "My old man." "He is a wimp." "He"s a fair man." "He"s peaceful and much more cultured than yours." "Do you know what my father calls him? ""Mr. IsoIdo""... your mother"s employee, buck private, servant..." "Quit it, will you?" "That"s right." "Keep quiet!" "This is another letter I write and can"t post it." "I"ve been trying to explain my absence... yet I feel my reasons will never justify it." "Godfather is a remarkable man." "I"ve always wanted to be his... apprentice, friend and confiidante..." "He was abandoned by his own political party comrades... when he was accused of treason and being enemy of the country." "He, who gave up his personal life and all his worldly goods... to flight against athoritarianism and dictatorship." "Exile, my children... possibly the worst punishment created by man." "Maybe I won"t be forgiven for accompanying a friend to exile... and leaving behind my kids... and a marriage torn apart." "Not loving your mother anymore made me want... to be by your side even more." "And that feeling makes me unworthy of my principles." "I shall go as I came... like a prophecy." "uncle!" "AII men are bastards, you know that?" "while you"re here hiding, Tereza was nearly beaten to death." "What happened?" "I"m furious!" "You"re really cut-off!" "Stop that!" "Nothing happened." "What are you saying?" "will you let it be?" "Be a man." "Go there and punch him in the face." "kill the bastard!" "Or is everyone a wimp in this family?" "will somebody tell me what happened?" " Tereza"s got beaten up." "With no man to defend her." "Is that true?" "Yes." "What"II you do about it?" "That"s enough!" "It"s over!" "It"s over!" "I made a mistake." "That"s my problem." "Nobody has anything to do with it." "Nobody!" "Are you all right?" "Very much so!" "You said you didn"t play, sir." "It"s been so long." "I only know my own ones..." "I can"t even read music." "When we live with people that knows music... we end up learning something." "Did you compose that song?" "To my wife... when..." "Cyntia was born." "play it again." "please." "When you were alone together didn"t he ever played?" "No." "Why did he play to her?" "Come on." "Are you jealous?" "I"m under the impression Lydia reminds him of his wife." "She"s got the gift of the ones who die young." "My God." "You sound like him." "We keep making the wrong choices." "But you are going to be fine." "Whenever the time is right, make your own choices." "Do whatever comes to mind." "Forget about your mother." "And then, come pick me up some day." "It"s amazing." "Life repeats itself." "How come?" "I had something nice to tell you." "But I can"t." "What are you hiding from me?" "Something wonderful." "From your real mother." "Then tell me." "I can"t." "Tereza asked me to bring it." "Thank you." "Ana, sit down here." "Get a chair." "I"d like to thank you." "What for?" "For letting me stay here and for Tereza"s help." "Thank me?" "Bu it was mom." "This house has nothing to do with her." "It"s yours." "It"s dad"s." "tell Jairo I"m grateful too." "I"d really like you to spend some time with us." "For as long you as you want."
