"And Jorginho will be a doctor." "And you, Maria?" "I don't want to see any gray hair here." "How can this happen to me?" "Just to me, today..." "Oh my gosh, it's just not possible." "Well, just look..." "Good morning!" "Good morning, my lady." "My lady, I'm tired, my lady, I'm thirsty my lady." "My car broke down 25 km away from here, my lady." "I'm hungry, I'm thirsty." "Give me a glass of cold water, my lady!" "My fortune for a glass of water." "I'll talk to my husband." "I was driving along you know, my son." "I was driving along, then my car broke down, you know?" "Well, you see..." "I couldn't do anything about it." "Hey Zé!" "Oh, Zé!" "There's a man out there." "Man?" "What man?" "I don't know, a strange man, who talks a lot." "He's near the ravine asking for water." "Oh, Maria and you didn't give him any?" "A glass of water, a glass..." "Water, water!" "Water!" "Do you go to school, son?" "You got a pencil?" "An eraser?" "Got a notebook?" "Oh..." "I do." "Sir." "Oh, sir." "Please forgive me."

" Move on, now." "Let's move." "Let's move." "Well, we're moving!" "Mr. José, I'm really very tired." "You have no idea how much I've worked, sir." "I've traveled all over Brazil, and that's no joke." "I've gone from Oiapoque to Chuí." "Look at the food!" "Great!" "How delicious!" "What delicious food!" "It's just like my wife's cooking." "You know, ma'am..." "My wife makes delicious food." "But, that's all she does too." "She's a shrew..." "This is our crop of chayote." "What a great crop of chayote, isn't it?" "A pretty sight..." " This land is yours?" " No." "This land is Mr. João's." " You're working it as a tenant?" " Yeah." "You need to buy it." "Yeah, but there's never any money left over, is there?" "There needs to be some left over." "My, what a beauty, this chayote." "Chayote..." "My, what a beauty." " Is it yours?" " Yep, all mine." "Oh, this is very good." "Tell me how was the harvest last year?" "Last year wasn't very good, you see." "But this year, if God wills, It will be better." "Oh, sure, of course it will be." "Now, due to the treatment that you've given me," "I'm not going to leave without selling you something." "Well, I'm not buying anything." "But you don't need to worry." "You can give me a small part in money, and the rest in chayote..." "That's the deal..." "I'd like you to see my products." "My products are incredible, fantastic, extraordinary!" "And here they are!" "Here, we've got a camera!" "Face your reality!" "Photograph your reality!" "Now here we have culture!" "The future..." "The present... and as always!"

"You are so kind to bring me to the city, Mr. José." "But as I was saying..." "Zé!" "Zé, the kids are ready." "Don't wait for me, I'll be later." "Let's go." "This way."

" I'm the best," " I'm great..." " Quiet!" "Mrs. Maria, you are a lily of the field, a budding rose, a cherry blossom that fell, you are like a a fern that fell from the hanging gardens of Babylon, a bread fruit which fell from the garden of delights, Mrs. Maria." "Mrs. Maria, you are the chayote which grows in my garden, Mrs. Maria." "Touch me, Mrs. Maria!" "Hold me, Mrs. Maria!" "Wow, ow, ow, ow." "Mrs. Maria, you will have the pleasure of seeing the city, Mrs. Maria." "Mrs. Maria, the city is wonderful." "Mrs. Maria, the city is fantastic." "That's it, Mrs. Maria." "It's incredible."

"In the wee hours, a police car picked me up" "It was the first time I slept in a... jail." "The next day social services came to see me." "Hi!" "Are you OK?" "They didn't mistreat you, did they?" "What's your name?" "Maria." "Who are you?" "I'm the person who's going to take care of you." "You know, this is the first time I've been here." "You're the first person I'm going to take care of." " Are you hungry?" " Yeah." "And what did that woman do for you, huh?" "She got me a job at the Braga's house." "A very rich man, he's got important connections, has an industry." "After a while I became his exclusive lover." "That's when I got this apartment." "Braga." " Did you like it?" " Yeah, a lot." " Are you happy?" " Very." "Very happy." "Now Maria, you will know what comfort tranquility, and stability are." "You will learn how to dress, you'll discover a new world, my world." "Your world?" "We can begin with Fausto." "Asexual Fausto." "No..." "I think he's a good boy." "Studious... he'll graduate soon." "Seven years at university." "He wants to be a dancer." "You know," "I'd prefer to have a swindler at home then a son who dances." "It's his step-mother's fault." "She married me for my power." "Forget it, ok?" "And married me for my dead wife's inheritance." "I hate her." "We haven't slept together for 13 years." "13 years?" "When I worked as a maid in your house me and the others thought that you all lived a wonderful life." "Braga, when are you going to get me a job?" "What, my dear?" "You weren't born for that." "You... will be here, waiting for me." "That already is a job." "After me..." "clients to care for, pleasant company, you will be at my bidding call." "So..." "So that's why I got this apartment." "All those trips at the end of the month were business trips." "Good deals at a good price." "Now big daddy wants to involve me in his deals." "Pig." "Pig." "Maria." "Such a common name." "Wouldn't you like to change this name?" "What about Paula?" "I don't like it." " Alice?" " Horrible!" "What about Silvia?" "No." "What was your mom's name?" "My mom?" "Lilian." "Oh, no..." "Not that." "You're not going to put the name of Lilian." "Either Lilian or Maria." " Listen, did you like the place?" " Yeah, quite interesting." "I liked it a lot." "Listen, do you think now is a good time to talk business." "Stop talking about deals." "With so much to drink, beautiful women and great music." "Braga, come with me." "I want to talk to you." " I'll be right back." " Excuse me." "Listen Braga." "How's the deal with that girl?" "A private arrangement?" "Explain it to me." "She's my own project." "She doesn't have experience and has a lot of prejudice." "Braga, she's an interesting, spontaneous, natural girl." "My friend, a very good evening to you." "To begin our show tonight we want to mention the presence of two well-known people:" "The illustrious Fiorentine importer" "Luigi and his friend Braga." "And now here's..." "Caminito!" "I married really young, you know." "My first wife was very rich, studied at the best schools, but was very humble, and that was the quality that brought us together," "it's what I find in you." "How I wish I were like that." "When I tell my friends that I'm a simple man" "and it was only fate that made me be born to a rich family" "they all laugh." "I'd really like to be a free man." "To be able to act to think, without having on my shoulders an industry with more than 300 workers who need to eat, drink and live somewhere." "Do you think they appreciate that?" "They would be the first to take my place." "If they could..." "I understand that people who like to earn money, to get material goods, who dive into production, invention, in a free market for all." "There people are seen as purely materialistic." "But, on the contrary" "The success of business and production is highly stimulated by people who are far from turning their backs on religion and science" "they maintain their own condition related to their obligations and social responsibilities." "In our case, for example, in spite of the philanthropy of our voluntary contributions, of our civic spirit, we put a great deal of our funds into work for the national economy." "The nation works, thanks to our financial funds." "But this habit didn't come by chance, it comes from a puritan principle." "You should save and invest a part of the income instead of using it on your own personal pleasures." "I could have spared you from my bitterness but I never had time to go to a neurologist." "The only price for everything I've done for you was for you to always listen to me without agreeing or disagreeing." "Your silence, or who knows, your ignorance are highly therapeutic elements for me." "My first wife was always my confessor until the day of Fausto's birth." "You think I didn't try to convince my son concerning the effort it was to overcome the crisis, that consumed me for year and years of my failure?" "Emotionally down" "I never saw a single gesture of support on his part, not any whisp of understanding of my success." "Much to the contrary, he saw his father as a fascist monster ready to swallow all that came near." "I never had anything to do with his upbringing maybe that's why he slid to the wrong side." "I'm a simple man, a man like this waiter that just waited on us," "with all his good points and bad points, a man who is just... alive." "You see, my life was always millimetrically controlled," "with perfect timing." "I was born to continue the work of my father." "And this, which should be a reason for all my successors to be satisfied is looked at by my own son as if it were the cruelest crime." "A sign of the times, Lilian." "A sign of the times." "You must be wondering why I called you here." "It's that it's the only place where we can talked undisturbed, where no friend of my father has the courage to poke his nose around." "I really thought it was strange that you had called me here." "After all, it's been a while since I left your house." "I know it all." "All what, Fausto?" "Between you and my old man, the wonderful romance." "That's none of your business." "What do you mean?" "It's not enough that you ruined a home?" "Leaving your husband on the farm?" "You know that too?" "I know everything, Maria." "Not Maria." "Lilian." "The old man even did that!" "Gave you my grandmother's name." "No." "It wasn't him." "Listen, here, Fausto." "Your father is a wonderful man, the best I've met until today." "My business with him will not disturb your household in any way." "What do you mean, it won't?" "Ever since he bought that apartment for you, he's decreased my allowance." "It's well to mention that this is also not right." "OK, I'll talk to him." "You can't do that." "Why not?" "Are you afraid of him?" "Look here, you little whore" "I can destroy you, the old man, and the old man's friends!" "That's why you called me here?" "Are you done?" "Two coffees." "What happened?" "Your son." "My son?" "Fausto." "He found out about everything, even the apartment." "But how did he find out?" "I don't know." "We were so careful." "Are you going to bring the coffee or not?" "I'll buy you another apartment." "That won't help anything." "Fausto was cruel to you, wasn't he?" "And you said he didn't do anything." "That's why you asked me to come here to the end of the earth." "From now on, it'll be better like this." "Impossible." "The importer wants to see you again." "Tough luck." "Yes?" "You?" "You're not coming in here." " Hey, calm down." " Get out!" "Get out of here!" " Ok, I'm out!" " I came in peace." "Take it easy..." "Get away!" "Would you mind leaving?" "Now, right now!" "What a great apartment!" "Get out of here!" "Get dressed, woman." "Will you get out of here!" "Are you telling me to leave?" "I came to thank you." "My father not only increased my allowance but also gave me a tip to keep my mouth shut." "You're despicable" "Which side do you sleep on?" "Why are you asking me which side I sleep on?" "You're not even thinking of staying here, are you?" "That's exactly what I'm thinking." "Are you nuts?" "I'm not crazy!" "I brought some records, they're great." "We can dance, dance and dance..." "It's serious, Braga." "Your son has decided to not ever leave that apartment." "But what can I do?" "If I react, it will be worse for all of us." "It will all go down the drain." "The best thing we can do is hang in there a bit." "You know how Fausto is, fickle, in two or three days he'll forget the whole thing and come home." "I always avoided getting involved with what happened in your house, but with each passing day, I feel I'm more and more involved." "You're the one who has to solve this." "You're his father." "Put yourself in my shoes, try to understand, my hands are tied." "And besides, you were always the one who best understood my problems." "Listen, what about ending this blasted discussion in a more appropriate place, more intimate." "No!" "I came here to solve this problem with Fausto." "While that is not clear to you, you won't have your 'lovey-dovey.'" "Waiter!" "We don't accept credit cards." "You don't accept credit cards?" "What do you mean?" "I come here every day!" "Unfortunately we don't accept them anymore." "All right... checks either, sir, I'm sorry, but we don't accept them either." " Nor checks?" " No." "But this is a super check." "Unfortunately we don't accept them." "What is going on?" "Hey, Manager." "I'll pay." "After all, it's your money." "Get out!" "Get out of here!" "That's enough." "That's it!" "I can't stand this anymore." "This is becoming a den of faggots!" "It is, isn't it?" "That bothers you, doesn't it?" "Fausto lived here for a bit more." "We even got used to each other, you know?" "He was so crazy." "How is he?" "Just a moment." "Are you family?" "No, but almost." "Dr. Belmiro wants to talk to you, ma'am." "Please." " Have seat." " Thank you." " Are you the lad's sister?" " No." "How did you find out what happened?" "The janitor told me." "Because he didn't have any ID on him." "Yeah, I know." "Were his parents told?" "I don't think so... he doesn't get along with his parents." "You're a bit nervous, Mrs..." "Lilian." "Do you want a cigarette?" " No, thanks." " Please, this will calm you down." "Mrs. Lilian, I've already done everything I could do for him." "From now on, what he needs is a therapist." "He's already been to several." "Then, his case is more serious." "He needs to be hospitalized and have intensive psychiatric treatment." " I'll talk to his father." " Fine." "Thank you." "Ms. Lilian." "Is his mother alive?" "Yes, she is." "Thank you." "Get out of here." "Take it away, take this problem away from here!" "It's a serious problem, Braga." "Fausto is a sick boy." "Oh, ridiculous..." "For any little thing, these stupids want some treatment and hospitalization." "They don't know where else to get money from." "If this would do the trick, Fausto would have already been cured." "I don't know how many times he was hospitalized." "His problem was the education" "His step-mother, in vengeance, spoiled him." "Inhumane, Totally inhumane." "Shit, bum." "You came here just to fart!" "Come on, let's go." "Funny, Lilian." "We're getting along now, aren't we?" "Looks like we got used to each other." "That's good." "You never thought about getting a job?" "A job..." "to do something," "Don't you sometimes feel Sort of a useless?" "Work isn't the way for me." "What I really like is to dance, Lilian." "I feel fulfilled dancing." "Why are you worried with this business of working?" "You're the one who's feeling useless, aren't you?" "No." "I'm taking a massage classes." "I'll make a lot of money." "And if I'm thinking about buying your father's apartment..." "That way you'll end up in the dump." "You never miss a chance to humiliate me, do you!" "I'm just trying to help." "Aren't you afraid to die?" " Stop joking, ok." " Aren't you?" " Are you sure about that?" " I don't know how to swim." " Be careful, ok?" " Watch messing around." "Fausto." "You are going mad." "Bring the whiskey, Fausto." "Calm down, take it easy." "Is it ok?" "Yeah." " Here?" " Yeah." "Congratulations!" "Congratulations!" "Are you out of your mind?" "You make me come here what if Fausto finds out?" "She's not going crazy." "It was my idea." "My God..." "What happened..." "What did they do to me?" "My moral." "Hey, where is my moral?" "My moral!" "Unbelievable." "After some time, Fausto went to the asylum." "Looks like that was the only way for Braga to be convinced that his son was really ill." "Really really ill." "Many times they caught Fausto dirtying his room with his own feces and urinating on the bed." "Braga started to lose a lot of weight with his son's illness." "And from being with women he ended up getting a venereal disease which he never could shake off." "One day the doctors found Fausto, on the ground with a bleeding head, as if he had slipped in his own shit and hit his head on the floor." "The last time I saw Braga I was already working as a masseuse in an institute for men." "It was at that time that he put the apartment in my name." "For a while a German supported me." "A German industrialist." "The Squatter of Jales" "This is Vivaldo Lobo a cynical, calculating man, a chronic trickster capable of the biggest frauds, the character spectacularly played by Wilson Ribeiro." "No..." "The country is not a member of the sports club or the folly the debtors who took power of its fortune and what to treat it with wantonness, should treat their companions to moments of exuberance" "No, no..." "The country is not this collective gathering of perverted creatures over whom, one can run without the slightest impression or breath of the aspirations which agitate humanity." "No..." "The country is not this cold, delinquent, deadly nationality which received on their forehead the stamp of a trap" " as the immoral woman gets on the arm..." " Vivaldo Lobo!" "As the dog sits on the back of the 'fleur-de-lis' of the executioner." " Vivaldo Lobo!" " It's me, it's me." "Your turn." "Look, hang on I'll be right back and we can finish this pleasant conversation, ok?" "Oh, Bezerra, how this guy gets on my nerves!" "Are you happy?" "Sometimes." "Hey, being happy is an art." "You need to practice it." "Being happy is like curing leather." "Polishing a diamond." "The way to treat the issue is to work on it." "This implies a fixed, constant mental attitude." "It means, domination of the art to make success spin..." "Crap!" "So that you can see your pleasant face." "Mufffon used to say:" "Luck is in our beings, it was given to us, disgrace is on the outside, and we look for it." "Only the wise are happy." "And I, Vivaldo Logo, am happy." "Chucrutes." "Chucrutes?" "Listen, honey, do they pay you well here?" "It's reasonable." "Look, the thing to do is invest." "Have you ever thought of investing?" "Investing in what?" "Investing, honey, money." "Look, I'll give you some advice, this business of the stock market, titles, it's gone, past, it's cold, real cold!" "Ow, what cold water..." "The thing today, my dear, is land, property, real estate!" "Look, honey, tell me something, how much to you earn here?" "Well, per month, not much what is good are the tips." "Really?" "Look, I've got a deal in China for you." "Ingenious, wonderful!" "Land, Ms. Lilian!" "Wonderful properties, good land, fertile land." "Land, if you seed it will give you back." "Look, this here, you can't plant anything here." "Are you doubting my integrity, Ms. Lilian?" "It's not that I'm doubting your integrity, you just can't plant anything here, really." "Ms. Lilian." "I've sold properties to governors, chiefs of State, ambassadors, honest people, and dishonest, as well." "But look Ms. Lilian," "I'd like you to observe a detail in the country house." "Look, Mr. Lobo, I'm sorry to say this." "But where I come from, this is a frontier house." "A frontier house where one is too few two is good three is too many" "A little frontier house where one is too few two is just right." "Look here, Ms. Lilian, the wonder of the century!" "Do you want to know something, Mr. Lobo?" "This here is shit!" "What do you mean, Ms. Lilian?" "This is a crime, Ms. Lilian." "I... wanted... but that isn't important, not important at all." "I've got other properties, Ms. Lilian." "Hartman?" "You have a client at the institute trying to pass me off some lands" "I intend to leave some land for my husband." "And for my children." "Here's the money." "But the problem isn't the money." "I think that... he's not very honest." "Call a private investigator, if it's big" "I have an influential friend and we can take care of it." "Good afternoon." " How are you?" " Fine, thanks." "Have a seat." "Thanks." "I saw your name in the paper." "What's the problem?" "Adultery?" "Homicide?" "Bankruptcy?" "Politics?" "Pandering." "Kidnapping?" "No, nothing like that." "There's a man trying to sell me some property." "Some land ownership problems?" "Interesting." "Let's see." "It's not here." "Or here." "It's this one." "I knew it." "Taxi, taxi!" " Follow that car." " Let's go then." "Don't slam the door, ok?" "Well, Mr. Zé, are you doing to get out here?" "No, we're not getting out here." "Wait here a minute." "What's your business, Mr. Zé?" "Are you a police officer?" "A detective?" "Do you have some guy after your wife?" "What is it?" "It's none of your business." " Come on, Mr. Zé What is it?" " Wait here, wait here a minute." "Oh, Mr. Zé, I don't mean to intrude but the car we were following already left." "What?" "Let's go, let's go." "How much have you got?" "Hey pal, the meter went around three times." "Who told you to pass?" "I'm going to get gas at the first station we come to." "Now, right now?" "Right now!" "This car doesn't run without gasoline, Mr. Zé." "I never met a guy in my life who liked horse races so much." "Really?" "Football is still a possibility there, everyone likes it, right?" " But horse racing?" "I pity..." " The little horses are the joy of my life." "Hey boss, are you going to just stand there?" "Let's go!" "What?" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Go faster, faster!" "Let's go!" "Can't you see?" "We're gaining on them." "I don't know, Ms. Lilian, but I think there's a taxi that's been following us, ever since we left the capital." "Really?" "Well, I don't have a problem," " Do you have a problem?" " No, imagine that, Ms. Lilian!" "I don't have a problem neither do you, ma'am." "Tell me..." "Is this woman, yours, sir?" "And if she were?" "You are as rude as hell," "Investing in my business, Ms. Lilian." "You're building a better future." "I know..." "But you didn't say how far away it was." "What?" "Can't this car move any faster?" "Looks like a turtle." "What!" "This car is a gem!" "Enough!" "Let's go, get out." " What did I do?" " Get out!" "You made me come to this end of the world." "You complain about the car." "Can't stop looking at the taxi meter." "I want to help and you're rude." "Let's go!" "The money!" "How much?" " 600 cruzeiros." " How much?" " 600 cruzeiros." "That's expensive." "What do you mean, expensive?" "Pass along the money, now." "I don't have any money." "Do you accept checks?" "Check?" "Check?" "Check?" "Check?" "You'll give that to your niggers lovers, crap!" "Breathe in, Ms. Lilian!" "Let the fresh air fill your lungs." "Take advantage of this clean air." "Look, to have a healthy life like mine you should sleep 8 hours a night." "Brush your teeth after each meal," "Defecate at least once a day, maintain normal sexual relations" "eat vegetables, preferably practice a sport, do gymnastics," "On barra neighborhood if possible, keep up with your personal hygiene, Ms. Lilian." "Look, it's here." "My master piece." "It's a bit abandoned, isn't it?" "Ms. Lilian..." "But it's not as abandoned As you maiden." "Come." "Let us enter it's facilities." "I think I forgot the keys, oh, man..." "How stupid!" "Hang on, Ms. Lilian, please." "How terrible..." "What thing to..." "But that's not the slightest problem." "We're going to see these lands from another angle." "Mr. Lobo." "I was born in the fields, raised in the fields," "I know land well, and I'll tell you something, sir you couldn't plant even chayote here on this land." "How absurd, Ms. Lilian!" "This is virgin territory." "Completely virgin." "I, Vivaldo Logo, guarantee the virginity of this land." "And how much do you want for these lands?" "You'll pay in small monthly payments." "Now, about the down payment, you can make the down payment with this little body." "You were right, he's a scoundrel, he smooth talked me!" "Did you sign some paper, any document?" "Yeah, I even got the deed." "You gave him cash?" "Only the down payment." "Didn't I tell you not to sign anything or pay anything?" "But what can I do?" "He's irresistible!" "I need a picture of the despicable guy." "Shell Scorpio has pictures of the guy." "Do what you have to, I'll do what I have to." "Mr. Shell, what happened?" "Mr. Shell, who was it?" "Who was it, Mr. Shell, who was it?" "What time is it?" " 5:05" " Thanks." "Mr. Shell the photos of the squatter!" "For God's sake!" "The pictures of the squatter!" "The pictures of the squatter!" "I didn't do anything!" "I didn't do anything, I'm an honest man!" "Let go of me, for God's sake!" "I didn't do anything, I'm an honest man!" "You can't touch me," "I demand respect, in the name of God." "I didn't do anything, man!" "I never did anything to anyone!" "What are you doing here?" "What are you going to do with me?" "For God's sake!" "Leave me alone, for the love of God!" "I'm not doing anything..." "I didn't do anything, to anyone." "No, don't do this to me!" "No!" "And you agreed with all that, Lilian?" "But I didn't understand those things." "At the time, I thought one good dirty deal deserved a better one." "Do you remember, man?" "We covered this industrial guy who disappeared" "Yeah!" "Hartman disappeared." "Funny, how time makes you forget things quickly." "Any more deaths in your life?" "There was" "One more." "Take this, Pacheco." "Stop stop, right there!" "Chico!" "Oh Chico, drop the gun and let the woman go!" "No one move!" "If you move she gets blown." "Be a man, Chico, let the woman go!" "Sorry, my dear, now you'll have follow me." "You're not a man, you're a coward." "This is the girl I told you about." "Very pretty." "I don't think I'll last very long." "I want you to take care of this girl as if she were your daughter." "You don't know how to dance the mambo, dear?" "The secret is here, my dear." "The secret is here, my dear." "The secret, my dear." "Is here." "What joy!" "What are you doing, girl?" "A woman like you can't be prejudice." "Look, my morals already went down the drain and I'm alive." "Come here!" "Look, I've got noble blood, but my heart is in the whorehouse." "If you let me, I'll teach you the polka, the maxixe, the cha-cha-cha, the Tango!" "Before anything else, we'll have to rent this apartment." " My apartment?" " Yeah." "That's the only way you'll be able to pay for the dance classes." "Excuse me." "Hi, Mr. Gonçalves!" " How are you?" " The good son returns home." "Yeah, Mr. Gonçalves..." "Well, here we are again." " Let's sit down." " Thank you so much." "How long has it been, Mr. Gonçalves!" "I've been working like a mule at the office." "Don't even mention the salary." "I've only been able to save up some recently." "New folks?" "Ms. Antonieta?" "Yeah..." "But now the fee has gone up right, Mr. Gonçalves." "Only fair." "Have a seat, there, Mr. Gonçalves," "I'll go see if I can find some new flesh for you, sir." "Excuse me." "Are you fine, Mr. Gonçalves?" "I'm a bore, aren't I?" "I'm pretty tired, girl." "Mr. Gonçalves, Mr. Gonçalves." "Do you want to try again?" "I don't think it's worth it." "So you're the famous Mr. Gonçalves?" "The man who wants to marry all the women in the whorehouse." "Would you marry me?" "Do you want to?" "I can't marry." "I'm already married." "Would you live with me?" "Forever?" "If you promise not to get me pregnant..." "But I want to have children." "I'd give them my name." "You are a sorry sight." "Come here." " It's here." " Oh, here?" "Listen, there's something I forgot to tell you about," "I've got a sister." " Ok" " Wait here." " Hi." " Hi" "Lucivalda, I brought a girl with me." "This is Lilian." "Come on in." "Silvio," "Ms. Matilde couldn't..." "Now?" "We'll talk about that later, ok?" "The briefcase." "Here's the kitchen." " Do you know how to cook?" " Yeah." "From now on you give orders in this house." "You're a good man, Gonçalves" "This is our room." "Silvio, what is it?" "Nothing, tomorrow I'll tell you." "Wait..." "Tie..." "OK." "Bye." " I'll be in time for supper." " I'll wait for you." "My dear colleagues I have the pleasure to inform you that our colleague, Gonçalves, once again, has married." " Congratulations, Gonçalves" " Thank you." " Congratulations" " Thanks." " Congratulations" "A lucky guy!" "Gonçalves." "What are you doing here?" "I don't want you to leave the house." "Don't you know how to obey?" "Lilian, don't be upset." "I didn't do it to hurt you, but I don't want you to keep exposing yourself," "I'm jealous, and being jealous is not a defect." "Silvio." "What is it?" "Sorry, I'll tell you tomorrow." "Hang on, woman." "Hang on a minute, girl." "Desire..." "Look here, I'm Gonçalves' wife, give me more respect there." "Gonçalves' wife..." "It's another one that he brought from the brothel, right?" "Look, Mr. Silvio, once again you've brought me the reports and they're all wrong." "I'm so sorry, Ms. Dilma." "I'm going through such a happy time in my life." "And what does our department have to do with that?" "I'm so happy... maybe that's why I made the mistakes." "You are not paid to be happy." "You are paid to give me correct reports." "Please, redo them." "You may leave." "We've lived here ever since we arrived from Barretos." "In some ways, this house is part of the family." "Lucivalda grew up here." "It's as if she were married to the house." "When I started in the department" "I was 20." "I've had all the positions until the one I have now." "Only through working a lot did I get what I have today." "Is it raining?" "Excuse me." " You can leave the washing to me." " I'll wash." "Only the two of us in the room and this waltz an orchestra of divine angels the cords clear as a bell at the end of the love waltz" "Some flower petals on the floor" "Blue light running through the room" "Only the two of us, no one else No one else, only the two of us" "Missing you comes later..." "The Swamp" "Lucivalda, are you all right?" "Good night, my love, the tired old moon is descending." "Good night, my love, my moment with you now is ending." "It was so heavenly, holding you close to me..." "Lucivalda, are you sick?" "It's not what you're thinking." "Forget..." "The stars above have promised to meet us tomorrow." "Till then, my love, how dreary the new day will seem." "The house." "The house wasn't like this." "The old renters had inherited it from their old ancestors." "It was said that they were ill, and couldn't have kids cause they were siblings." "And married so as not to mess up their blood" "The man had murdered the woman and gone crazy." "The last gesture of my father before he died was to buy the house from a friend who almost died as a beggar in Juqueri asylum." "From the beginning, Silvio wanted to remodel the house." "But was only able to do it 2 years ago." "It was a spiritist woman who said to paint it all white." "It's funny... sometimes I miss the rats that invaded my room." "The smell of bitumen that the walls smelled of." "The fading colors on the ceiling, that the night reddened." "The strange sudden heat that came in the afternoon." "The prayers of my dead aunt said on her death bed, before discrediting of God, to shoo away the demon." "I miss the bricks that looked like bones." "Last night, I dreamed again that the house burned down." "Meat" "I had a boyfriend." "A simple lad." "He studied at the technical school and graduated a while ago." "It was a happy time." "Fun, even." "One day we went out alone." "In an old Studebaker." "We were going to have a picnic on a beach, far away in Santos." "As it was taking a long time to get there," "I thought we could stop where we were." "Right there, to eat." "Otherwise it would be late to get back." "He agreed." "After we ate he tried to touch my breast." "A horrible feeling grabbed me." "My first reaction was to slap him." "But that wasn't all." "All of a sudden" "I had a horrible desire to rip that monster apart, that monster that was there, right in front of me." "I rubbed my hand on his face as if I wanted to rip his eyes out." "We stayed like that, for I don't know how long," "I just know that when I came to myself, his blood ran between my fingers." "I could hardly see his face." "It was a mixture of blood and sweat, and darkness that took over that place." "He spoke softly, crying, so much so, that it seemed like my imagination." "He asked me to undress." "He asked so much, implored so much," "he asked so much, that I gave in to his desire." "And another." "Even asked me that I go get a rag from the glove compartment." "And there... there in front of me" "executed solitary love." "Only the other hand ran over my body." "That was it." "Go on." "You can go on." "I'm sorry," "I want to be alone." "Gonçalves, I'll arrange a job." "Again." "I'm tired of not being able to do anything." "Not being able to touch anything." "I feel so... useless." "Job?" "How stupid!" "I think she's right." "I take care of everything here at home." "And a woman when she doesn't do anything ends up going crazy." "What, pray tell is this?" "Now you're going to put your nose in our conversation?" "Look, Mr. Silvio, you messed up again!" "Oh, come here, I know that you want to..." "Come on!" "Don't bother me." "Shit!" "Come on, it's close by." "Son of a bitch!" "Come on..." "Let me go!" "I know you're backward." "Gonçalves is sexual forceless." "Get out!" "Hey, beautiful." "Gonçalves!" "Gonçalves!" "Lilian!" "Gonçalves!" "I can't go on." "I wasn't made for this kind of life." "I've been passed from one hand to another." "I'm sorry, you see?" "But I'm leaving." "José!" "José!" "José!"
