"I live in the most beautiful place in the world..." "Favela Cantagalo." "A slum in the richest neighborhood in Rio." "Garbagemen, nannies, street vendors, waiters, drivers, messengers..." "Lots of people." "I'm part of this invisible crowd, who work everyday in the streets of Ipanema." "Here you go." "Thanks, Dé, keep the change." "Thanks." "Almost no one notices us." "My mom always said the rich are one thing and the poor another." "Each has its own world." "But every time I saw her..." "I forgot that." "10 YEARS EARLIER" "Dé..." "Dé?" "Wake up." "It's time, Dé, come on." "The Milk's on the table, OK?" "I'm off." "It's my chance, kid." "Pretty heavy, isn't it?" "You got your nose to the grindstone on a Sunday, Carlão?" "That fucking lamp post has so many hooks, it's gonna burn up soon." "Beto!" "Beto!" "If you get to play for Flamengo, would you buy me a bike?" "Bike?" "I'm gonna buy a fancy ass car." "The scout's here." " It's my chance, kid." " Good luck." "Hey, Beto..." "Go, Beto!" "Beto!" "Hottie!" "Beto!" "Hottie!" "Shut the fuck up, you're suffocating me with this fucking shit!" " He thinks he's fucking awesome." " Let's stop him, man." "Yo, you, stop this fucking shit!" "Stop this fucking shit, man!" "You, hold my gun." "Come on, gimme the shirt and the fucking soccer cleats." "Kick the ball, loser." "Go on already, man, kick the fucking ball!" "What, ya gonna keep on staring at me?" "Kick the fucking ball!" "Go, Beto!" "Get up, man, it was nothing, you keep stopping the game." "Come on goalie, get it started." "It was nothing, get up." "Shit, man, you keep fucking up..." "You ain't gonna play on my team anymore, fucker." "Go, Beto!" "Beto!" "Hold him!" "Hold him!" "Gimme that!" " What the hell!" " Fuck that!" "Do you think you can pull this kinda shit on me?" "You asshole, you're hot shit to your fucking skanks, but to me you're nothing!" "Carlão!" "Carlão!" " They're gonna kill him, Beto!" " What?" "You're gonna die, motherfucker!" "What the hell?" "Cut this shit out!" "Hey, man, do you really wanna fuck with me?" "Only monkeys have kids with hairy assholes, get lost, this fight will go on!" "And if you butt in, you're gonna get it too." "You piece of shit!" "You ain't the boss of this favela!" "Not afraid to die, nigga?" "Are you gonna kill me?" "Go ahead." "If you're really a man drop the gun and use your hands!" " What's up?" "Are you a superhero?" " Get lost, Valdinei!" "Think you're made of steel "monkey"?" " Stop, are you crazy?" " Fuck!" "You're fucked!" "You got lucky, he moved my arm!" " Hold him!" " You're gonna die, nigga!" "It wasn't our fault, mom." "Ouch..." "Listen... we're going back to living on the streets!" "Cause I'd rather go hungry than see you involved with these kind of people!" "Cheer up, Beto, you're getting better." "Pretty soon you'll be playing ball again." "I saw..." "The Flamengo scout liked you." "Mom is right, Dé." "I need to find a normal job." "Beto..." "Don't fall, Beto..." "Beto..." "Beto..." "I'm gonna kill that motherfucker, mom." "Pack up your things." "I've already lost one, I can't handle losing another." "Disappear, Carlão." "Now." "You got here at just the right time." "Check this out..." "I found it at the beach and kept it for you." " Ah... a castle!" " That's right." "With a princess and everything, look." ""Once upon a time... a kingdom."" "Carlão, isn't the kingdom the princess' dad?" " Wanna take a dip?" " I can't." "It's almost time for school, and I'm wearing my uniform." " Are you wearing underwear?" " Yeah." "Leave the backpack, let's go." " Last one in is a rotten egg." " First one eats it!" "0h, yeah?" "I'm off..." " Come on, kid, let's go!" " Wait!" "Look!" "Check out his white tush!" "A big white bum!" "White tush!" "Look, Dé's tush!" "You are making me all wet." " With everything?" " Yes, but no mustard, please." "Whaz up, kid?" "Have you been stealing from a church?" " Give me the fucking money." " No..." "Give me..." "Give it to me." "Come here, you little shit, where the fuck do you think you're goin'?" "Gimme the fucking money." "Do you wanna meet your brother in hell or become a beggar?" "Gimme the fucking money!" "And shut the fuck up!" "Tell that fucking nigga I'm gonna get him." "Don't cry!" "Look at me and don't cry." "I saw your brother today." "He's so angry..." "He got into trouble again." "The lawyer said this way it'll be harder and harder for him to get out." "I'll go there tomorrow." "Carlão said he doesn't want you to go, Dé." "That's no place for you." " I'm going there to talk to him." " Forget it, Dé." "It wasn't your fault!" " Do you want a bag?" " No, thanks, sir." "Are you crazy?" "Have you lost your mind?" "If they catch you, you'll be freakin' arrested!" "You're not a gangster like him, kid, and you will never be!" "But he said he's gonna kill you." "And I don't want you to die." "Leave it with me." "Let go, let go." "Dé..." "Sell the hot dogs for me, Dé." "I'm going in the water and I'll be right back." "Carlão!" "Carlão, be careful!" " You're not going to escape!" " No, I'm trying to help!" " Fuck you!" " I sell hot dogs!" " Get my backpack!" " Let him go, he's my brother!" "He's my brother!" "And whose fucking gun is this?" "Let him go!" "He's my brother!" "Carlão!" "Carlão..." "Go ahead, lady." "Mr. Antonio..." " It's late, I'll walk you home." " 0K." "Thank you." "Get a grip, girl!" "Look..." "My parents are throwing us a party, did you forget?" "No, Dudu..." "What's the reason for this party?" "I'm not sure I want this..." "Not now." "You wanna know something?" "It's over!" "I'm tired of your crazy shit, Nina, I'm done!" "Forget me." "Good night, Mr. Antonio." "Take it easy!" " Let go of me!" " Calm down." " I'm not robbing you!" " Let me go!" " Let go of me!" " Easy, I won't rob you!" "Calm down." "Let's go." "If you want, I can walk you home." "Let's go." "What?" "Good night." "Dé?" "Dé?" "What's up, bro?" "Is everything okay?" "Listen, do me a solid, can I leave my board here while I sort something out?" " Sure thing." " Here..." "Thanks man." "Nina." "What's up?" " How are you?" " Not well." "The dinner at his parent's house is tonight." "I'm going in, wanna come?" " Okay, I'll go by myself." " Enjoy." "Empada." "Fresh empada!" "Hi." "Can I leave my board here?" "I'm going for a quick swim..." "Sure, leave it here." " I won't be long." " No worries." "Nina..." "Who's that?" "I don't know him, I'm just watching his board." "He's cute..." "There is life after Dudu, girl." "Chill, he's coming back." "Hey, thanks!" "Gee..." " That was weird." " Dé?" "What happened, bro?" " My bad, I was surfing." " Really?" "And since when do you surf, Dé?" "My bad." "Listen, Dé..." "I didn't bring any money, I was just surfing." "Can you give me a hot dog?" "Cool, Dé..." "Nina!" "Hey, kid, get lost." "Come on, get lost." " Don't touch me." " Get lost." "Move it along!" "Are you fucking crazy?" "Forget that guy, would you?" " What's up, man?" " Hey..." "Bro, this place is crawling with babes!" "I'm gonna kiss them all, man!" "Yeah, girl." "That's how I like it!" "Pass it along." "C'mon, let me have a puff." " Let me give it to Nina." " Hey, Dé, come here, man." "Come on, man, wanna smoke out with us?" "What's up, man, come here." " Do you know each other?" " What's your problem, Cacau?" "Who doesn't know Dé?" "He's the coolest guy on the beach." "This is Cacau... and that is Nina." "Nininha..." " Here, take a hit." " No, no." " I don't smoke." " It's the good stuff." "Let's go for a swim!" "A swim, Cacau?" "Sure, you'll feel better." "Come on!" "Hey..." "They're totally wasted." "Go on, brother, take a hit." "Guys, the water is amazing." " How about a swim, lque?" " No, thanks, Cacau." "Go, Dé." "Give it to me." "Thank you." "For the other day." "Can I sit here?" "Sure, go ahead." "Are you sad?" "Funny how we've been running into each other, isn't it?" "I'd never seen you before." "But I've seen you." "I mean..." "I've seen you here at the beach, I'm always here." "You know how surfers are..." "Professional surfers, you know." "Do you live around here?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I do." "I live right there on..." "Barão da Torre Street." " You know?" " Yeah." "I share a place with a friend." "Look, Vidigal's lights." "It's beautiful, isn't it?" "Looks like the sky." "The ones that live in favelas feel like they're close to the sky." "I've never been there, have you?" "No, no, never been." "What about that book?" "Have you finished reading it?" "Which book?" "Weren't you reading a book at the beach?" "Yeah, I was, I finished it." "I'm reading one as well." "Look." "It's the same book!" "Yeah..." "I'm always thinking about you." "About me?" "I've highlighted some stuff to read to you." "Can I?" "Here..." ""It is necessary to change the frame, the feelings and the attitudes." "It is necessary to lift the spirits, because fear is a bad adviser."" "Cool, isn't it?" "What are you laughing at?" "At myself." "Check it out, Cacau..." "Is that what I think it is or have I gone crazy?" "Must bet, retard." "Dé!" "Dé!" "We've got the munchies, man, come on, save us." "Make us some hot dogs." " Hot dogs?" " Yeah, didn't you know, Nina?" "Dé works at the kiosk." "Check it out, boss..." "So, man, you thought you got rid of me, right?" "But I'm back, and now I rule here." "We're back, man." "What about that monkey?" "The monkey is in the "cage", right?" "A monkey's place is in the zoo, son of a bitch." "You were all over him..." "And suddenly it all changed." " Why?" "Because he's poor?" " That's not it." "You're afraid." "Deep down you're a total little rich girl, Nina." "Here, Mr. Armando, the week's earnings." " It's been a good week." " Yeah, it has." "It didn't rain, the beach was crowded." "Stop looking at other people's lives." " What's going on?" " Get real!" "Sweetie..." "What happened?" "I'm waiting for you." "Dad, who are these people?" "Why are you throwing this party?" "I need new clients." "Our situation has changed." "Nina, help me out here." "This is so phony, dad!" "If we're broke, why did we move here?" "We'll talk about that later." "Help me out here." "Don't be so stubborn, Evandro!" "The case has been won, whether you like it or not." " You are a police deputy now." " The guy is right outside." " This is corruption!" " No, it's being practical." "Everyone does it." "You know me, you started out with me!" "I won't accept it!" "I'm sorry!" "Do you have hot dogs?" "Where do you live?" "For real?" "I do live in Ipanema." "In Favela Cantagalo." "And I've never surfed." "It was my mistake." "I don't know what I was thinking." "We have nothing in common." "It's on the house." "Thanks." "Where are you going?" " There's a party in the favela." " Can I go with you?" "The favela is no place for you." "It's gonna be cool, girl, I'm telling you." "You think, Cacau?" "My dad is waiting for us!" "Which way?" " This way, come." " Are you sure, Cacau?" "Yeah, I think so." " Hey, Cazuza." " Listen, Madam Cacau... does your dad know you're here?" "If he finds out, I'm screwed out of a job!" " Let's go, Nina." " Do you see how your friend is?" "She's killing me, with all due respect." " She's killing me!" " No, I'm not." "Come on." "Hey, babe, wanna nickel bag of blow?" "Hey, angel, how are you?" "It's cool, man, they're just going to the dance." " It's all cool." " Right." " Hey, babe." "My love..." " Cutie." "What's up, babe?" "Are you lost?" "I can take you for a walk." "You're with me, you're with God." "Hey, man." "She's with me." "Next time make her wear a sign." " Got it?" " No problem." "Cool." "See ya." "What are you doing here?" " I just came to check it out." " What do you think?" "What do you think of the place?" "Tomorrow you can tell your friends." "At least you'll have something new to talk about." "You really don't get it." "I only came up here because I wanted to see you." "I'm sorry, my bad." "Are you gonna keep standing there?" "What do you want me to do?" "Do you wanna dance with me?" "What?" "What?" "Do you want to dance with me?" "Is this you?" "Yeah." "And who are these two next to you?" "My brothers." "Carlão and Beto." "They're so different." "My mom adopted Carlão, when he was little." "And where are they?" "Beto died." "Carlão is traveling." "He's far away from here." "It must be really different from yours." "What?" "The bedroom." "Yeah, it's different." "But mine has something that's better than yours." "Do you wanna see it?" "Come here." "A huge balcony... with an ocean view!" "It's beautiful." "Your house... 0h yeah!" "Really close, isn't it?" "I think it's far." "If I'd been born down there... would you like me more?" "If I'd been born up here, would you like me more?" "Blond like that?" "I dreamt of you a lot up here." "I used to think you would show up in the laundry area, in the back... and look this way." "But you never did." "Dé?" "Dé..." "Sorry." "Dé didn't tell me he had company." "I'm leaving." "Hi, mom." "This is Nina." "Nina, this is my mom, Bernadette." " How are you?" " Fine." "Dé, I'm heading out." " Bye." " Bye." "Your mom really didn't like seeing me here." "It's not that, she just found it unusual." "What about your dad?" " What about him?" " Where is he?" "He left before I was born." "You don't have a dad and I don't have a mom." "Now, this is a nice shack!" "Are you rich now, kid?" "Carlão!" "Fuck, man..." "I am fucking free!" "Hey, look at that white ass." "Kid!" "0h man..." "I couldn't even remember the taste of salty water." "And how are things in the favela?" ""Cold Coffee" is back." "He's terrorizing everyone." "Innocent people are dropping like flies." "Bastard, son of a bitch." "I've thought of finishing him off many times." "I wanna go back there." "Why don't you go back to my house?" "But only after the son of a bitch is gone." "Mom is gonna be so happy when she sees you." " Seriously, she will!" " Don't say anything, Dé." "I wanna surprise her." " I even got myself a crib." " I wanna go there with you." "Wait until Sunday." "Listen, instead of taking mom to prison, you'll take her to my crib!" " Way to go, man!" " Yeah..." "Hey!" "Hey..." "I wanna talk to Nina." " Is it a delivery?" " Yeah." " To the 3rd floor." " I'll take it." "Where does this girl live?" "Ipanema." "0n Viera Souto Avenue." " You know very well what I think." " Yeah." "But there's no turning back now, is there, mom?" "But I don't want her here, Dé." "I don't want trouble with rich folks looking for their daughter in the favela." "I doubt that her family will approve." " No one will accept you, son." " I can stand up for myself, mom." "I hope you can." "Good evening." " How are you, Altamiro?" " Fine." " Do you know if Nina's home?" " Yes, she is, sir." "Excellent." "She's seeing someone again, right?" "The kid is from the favela." "But he's honest, hard working." "He works right there, at Mr. Armando's kiosk." "He is an employee there." "Yeah, time passes by, pretty soon you'll have lots of grandchildren." "Kids nowadays..." "Gotta keep an eye on them." "It's not easy." "The elevator's here." "Good evening." "A coconut vendor?" "Is that true?" "Yes, it is." "Are you crazy?" "Do you know what's going on in this city?" "What's the problem Dad, poor does not equal thief," "Dé works." "I give you freedom, but you don't know how to use it!" "You always lie, Nina!" "But as long as you live here," "I won't have you dating a kid from the streets!" "Dad, money is not everything!" "I'm not like you..." " Throwing parties to sell yourself." " Shut up!" "Can't believe my brother is back, Nina!" "Dé, my dad already knows about us." "I'm going back to school." "To move up in life, you'll see." "I just can't lose you." "I'm sorry, sweetie." "I lost control..." "It's not easy for a father to learn from the doorman that his only daughter is dating a boy from the favela." "But if you really like him..." "I'll try to accept it." "For you, sweetie." "I thought about inviting you two out to lunch with me tomorrow." "What do you say?" "I was looking forward to meeting you, Dé." "And I was nervous, sir." "Please, sit down." "Well, shall we order, guys?" "Hey, Evandro, what a nice surprise." " How are you, Dudu?" " Hi, Nina." " How are you, everything okay?" " Fine, and you?" "Can I sit here with you?" "So, Nina, I haven't seen you, you never called me again." "What have you been up to?" "Dudu, this is Dé, my boyfriend." " Boyfriend?" " Yeah." "What do you do?" "I work." "With what?" " Sales." " Sales?" "In a kiosk, Dudu." "Ah, you own a kiosk..." "No, no." "I don't own the kiosk." "I work." "I work at the kiosk." "I sell hot dogs and sodas all day." "And at night I go to school, to get a better life." "Dé..." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry..." "You were right, we shouldn't have come." "Let's go to my place." "I'll make us a sandwich." "I understand your pride, Dé." "I, too, started out with nothing." "Not exactly like you..." "Look, my door will always be open for you." "Nina..." "Nina is my only daughter, Dé." "And I am capable of anything for her." "I hope you don't take me wrong, but I don't want Nina in the favela, exposed to violence." "You understand, don't you?" "Can I trust you?" "Yes, sir." "Great." "Great." "Am I interrupting the two love birds?" "Nina... this is Carlão, my brother." "It's a pleasure, princess." "Dé talks about you all the time." "What took you so long?" "I've been waiting forever for you." "I need to talk to you, Dé." "I have to go home anyway." " Nice to meet you." " Nice to meet you." " This kid is worth gold..." " Yeah, I know." "Jeez, how did you get a princess like that, kid?" "You like her, huh?" "You're the man!" "It's a fucking castle!" "The princess lives well!" "Way to go, man!" " So, have you two already..." " Stop that, man." " Come on, tell me..." " It's not like that." "Hang on a sec." "Hello?" "No, no." "No, no big deal, I know what I'm doing." "Fucking trust me!" "What was that?" "What's going on?" "You're hiding something from me, aren't you?" "It was all a set up." "What are you talking about?" "I wasn't released for good behaviour." "I escaped." "What the hell are you talking about?" "You saw how things went down here at the beach." "They beat the hell outta me, Dé." "When I was arrested I was so angry." "I wanted nothing to do with the police or the crooks." "I could have been released sooner, but then my sentence increased." "In order to stay alive..." "I had to kill, Dé." "Kill?" "That place is a jungle, kid." " Beasts feeding on beasts." " But to kill, man..." "I had to take sides, Dé!" "I came to take over the favela!" "You were always against this, you taught me this!" "I'm only alive now because I became a criminal, Dé!" "Take mom outta there tomorrow." "And do it without saying a word, to avoid compromising her." "Here's the address, Dé." " Mom..." " Yes, son." "Pack up your stuff, we're not sleeping here tonight." " What are you talking about?" " Do what I say!" "You've never talked like this to me before." "You got into trouble because of that girl!" "Lower your voice, mom, lower your voice." "Do what I say, please, trust me." "Hey, this is a fine-tooth comb search." "You, come here." "Put your hands up, come here." "Raise your arms, come on, hands on the hood." "What are you looking at?" "You're clear." "Aren't you gonna give me a hug, mom?" "Son..." "My son!" "Why didn't you come home, son?" "Your lawyer didn't tell me anything!" "My son..." "For the love of God, Carlão!" "Forget this, for the love of God!" "The favela is crawling with cops, you'll end up dead!" " Shut up, Dé." " Jesus Christ..." "Shut up, Dé!" "The police know, they won't interfere!" "Calm down." "What's going on here?" "What's going on here, tell me, Carlão!" "You're mixed up in some shit, aren't you?" "Listen..." "No, I won't listen!" "I've already seen this happen to your father!" "I won't rot in jail, mom!" "I won't!" "There's no going back, mom." "I can't go back, mom!" "If you go ahead with this... you can forget I am your mother." "That son of a bitch killed Beto." "Don't forget that." ""Half-a-kilo"!" "Round up everyone, I'm out." "Let's go." "... in Cantagalo paralyzed the whole South Zone of the city today." "The police believe the invasion was led by Carlos dos Santos, a.k.a. Carlão, a fugitive from Bangú 1 prison." "Dad..." "I want to show you something, get in there." "I don't want you going in the favela, understand?" "Get away before you get hit by a bullet." "... in the middle of the cross fire." "There are 3 wounded at Souza Aguiar hospital, but no confirmation that they are criminals." "We'll be back with more information." "I'm very sorry, but it's over, Nina." "Over!" "I won't let you die because of some teen fling!" "I'll buy 2 tickets to Europe." "You're coming with me even if I have to drag you!" "This is where you ended my brother's life and where I kill you, son of a bitch!" "Piece of shit!" "Hot dogs on the house today, there's plenty for everyone!" "The bad times are over!" "The Galo community will have all it deserves." "And more, I'll have a fountain built here." "A big beautiful fountain, y'all!" "Not only beautiful, but with filtered water!" "And more, filtered and cold!" "Yeah!" "The bad times are over!" "Dé!" "Dé!" "What's up, man?" "Your girl's waiting at the foot of the hill." " Right." " Easy, man." " Do you live here?" " Yeah, I do." " Pass over your backpack." " Take his backpack." "There's nothing in it, check." "I thought you were dead!" "Why didn't you call?" " I'm sorry, Nina." " You didn't tell me, it's on the news, you're brother is a criminal!" "Nina!" "Nina!" "Nina!" " Nina, I didn't know!" " What do you mean?" "I only found out about it that night!" " You put my life at risk!" " What did you want me to do?" "Turn my brother in?" " He is a murderer!" " No, he isn't!" "He became one." "He became one." "He was arrested innocent." "He was arrested because of me, Nina." "This is how things are where I live." "If Carlão hadn't killed him, he'd be dead now." " And you think it's right?" " What's right?" "What is right?" "Children being born and having nothing to eat?" "To be treated like an animal... by any rich fuck loaded with money?" "Tell me!" " Are you mixed up in this?" " Don't you trust me?" "Do you want to know what I think about the traffic?" "I think it sucks." "But wasn't it you who said..." "All this shit goes on at your dad's parties, that all your friends smoke pot?" "So..." "Some poor folk become criminals because they're just bad people." "The hard thing is to be honest." "Carlão was a good guy." "Carlão was a good guy." "Carlão was good." "Let's get outta here, Dé." "Let's get outta here." "My dad wants to split us up, he's taking me to Europe." "Hey, Mr. Evandro wants to talk to you." "He asked you to go up." "Go, I'll stay here." "I've already lost my wife..." "I won't lose my only daughter." "We are living in a state of war, Dé." "It's not about you or me, it's about her." "What you make in a month, she spends in 2 days." "This will never work out." "What kind of future can you offer Nina?" "I forbid Nina to see you." "If you really love her, leave her, make up some story..." "I'll give you some money and you can have a fresh start far from here." "I don't need your money." "I get it." " It's dangerous to stick with me." " Too late for that!" "It's not gonna work, Nina." "I've got nothing to offer you." " It doesn't matter." " I have nothing." "My dad is saying this to split us up." "Can't you see?" "It's not possible, Nina, it's not." "Get real!" "You don't really think that, I know you don't!" " Say it!" " You're a princess." "I love you." "I truly love you, Dé." "Look at me." "I have some money, we'll leave, runaway from here!" "We'll go to some beach in the Northeast... we can open a bar, you'll sell coconuts!" "And hot dogs." "When?" "Cheer up, darling, you'll forget him in time." " Good afternoon." " Good afternoon." "Actually..." " I need some cash." " Please, have a seat." " I need around 700 Reals." " Did you bring your documents?" " My documents?" " Right." "Are you officially employed, in a steady job?" "Yes, ma'am." " How long have you had this job?" " Three years." "What's up, Dé?" "Hang on a second." " And?" " Carlão, the medicine you got me is really helping a lot." "It's this headache I have, it never stops..." "Get her some more, "Kilo"." " Thank you." " No problem." "Next!" "Mr. Carlão, it's my husband, he drinks and beats the kids and me up, I can't take it anymore." "Bring him here, I'll straighten him out." " Enough for today, "Kilo"." " Yo, community!" "That's all for today, come back tomorrow." "Thanks guys." "Thanks a lot." "I'm helping the community..." "Holy shit..." "All this stuff must've cost a bundle." "What's up, Dé..." "It's nothing, kid, this is... these are the basics we need to rule in peace." "Carlão, I need to have a serious talk with you." "I can't stop thinking about Nina." "I'm thinking about running away with her." "To try to live somewhere else..." "With no favela, no asphalt..." "But now that the favela will become a fucking paradise?" "Come live with her here!" "I guarantee you'll have all the best things." "No, no..." "We are going to some beach..." "I don't know, in the Northeast." "Are you serious, kid?" "Are you going to marry the princess, Dé?" "Yeah." "It's the only way for me to have her, Carlão." "I wanted to ask you to take care of mom." "Hang on a second, kid." "Here." " No, man, there's no need." " What do you mean?" " There's no need." " What's with you?" " I mean it, there's no need." " Fuck off, man." "This is a wedding gift!" "And look, you ain't leaving without a party, kid." "My little brother's getting married." "What's this?" "The tickets." "The tickets to the Northeast." "How did you buy them?" "And you were right... we have to leave this place." "It's the only way for us to be together." "I just want to be with you, Dé." "There'll be a huge party for us at the favela." "I can't." "Nina, the favela is pretty quiet now." "It'll be the last time, I promise."
