"Did you have to come this early, Romeiro?" "I have to get the 1 st plane back to São Paulo." "I'm going after lunch, you could come on my plane." "I didn't want to bother." "I didn't want to bother." "Did you hear that, Zenom?" "Without wanting to bother again, could you sign the check?" "The plane..." "Romeiro, you're afraid of being late and getting an earful from the boss?" "Did you hear that, Zenom?" "He's afraid of being late." "It's ok little lamb." "Sit down." "Zenom, get the checkbook in the room." "Damn it!" "Let go of the fucking egg and so!" "Can't you see Mr. Romeiro is in a hurry?" "By the way, Romeiro, how can a guy like you, a Harvard graduate, works as messenger boy for Luiz Fernando?" "What went wrong?" "And this check, it's never going to be deposited, right?" "No!" "You make the transfer to the account in Switzerland and we'll throw away the check." " Sit down Romeiro." " No thanks." "Not wanting to bother, pass me the butter." "What's with the hand?" "DEEP HYDRATATION" "Deep hydratation..." "And the face?" "When can I see that beautiful face again?" "Today." "That's wonderful Anésia!" "As a matter of fact today is a big day." "Maybe we can celebrate later!" "FEDERAL BANK AUTHORIZED TO GIVE CREDIT TO RETIREES." "Headache." "Later you're going to have a headache." "Yes those bandages can give you a lot of headaches." " Your vitamins, Mr. Luiz Fernando." " Thank you." "PASS ME THE BUTTER?" "Good morning." "I slept so well!" "If you listened to me, if you obeyed me, you would sleep well everyday." "At dinner, you have to eat light." "Yesterday, we only had yam soup." "Yeah, but now I have to disobey you and inhale this breakfast, because today is one of those days at the bank." " You're not coming home for lunch?" " Lunch, yes, I won't be home for dinner." "Balance day at the bank." "Pizza again!" "Promise me, you won't have the pepperoni." "My love, the chicory I can promise, but the pepperoni..." "CONGRESS INQUIRIES ENDS IN BAD SHAPE Oh Lord, what's going to happen to us?" "Carlão... the check has an egg stain." " Is it on the amount number?" " No." "On the written amount?" "No." "But a 50 million Reais check with an egg stain..." "It's still worth 50 million Reais." "It was the last check." "When do we return the check?" "I've told you damn it!" "You come by my office in the afternoon we make the transfer... and you give me back the stained check." " What's going on, Angela?" " You noticed it too." "It's happening, there's no turning back now." "Did you see what I saw?" "What's happening?" "Oh man, I think I am getting old!" " Old and flabby, is that it?" " Not flabby!" "I said old." "Do you think I look flabby?" "When we get old, we become flabby." "I didn't see anything, Angela." "All I see, is that you're still the most wonderful woman I've ever met." "Stop it." "Sometimes I think about what's going to happen in the future." "I got this job, as the president's secretary... because I was good looking and hot, but that was 5 years ago, Henrique." "Sorry, Angela, this is crazy, you're paranoid." "You have a job as a secretary... cause you're extremely competent." "Have I always been competent?" "Or Luiz Fernando always forgave my mistakes... because I was good looking and hot?" "I don't want to depend on that." "Get another job." "30 years old and afraid of the future?" "!" "It doesn't make sense." "Well, it does make sense." "You're a woman." "You know what I would do if I were a woman?" "Tell me..." "come on tell me!" " I would allot my body." " You're sick!" "I don't want to hear this bullshit." "No stop." "Come here..." "A hand on a knee?" "Dinner at a very fancy restaurant." "A hand on a thigh?" "A week off." "A little kiss?" "A weekend in Paris, at least." "Sweet." "And if I did that, would you still be my boyfriend?" "Of course not!" "I would do it if I were a woman." "Now, if that woman was my girlfriend, I would ditch her." "Very well." "You are a big help!" "Angela you're just wonderful..." " and, my, very efficient!" " Stop it Henrique!" "I have to go to work!" "You perve!" "Do you think this computer college is right for Henrique?" "He likes it." "He's good at it." "Yeah, he is." "Pity, cause if he wanted... he could get into that trainee course at the bank... and having me there, close by, it would be so much easier." "You know Henrique." "He likes to get by on his own." "Yeah, which is good, isn't it?" "We've always done it that way." "I'll see you at lunch." "Have a good class." "Good work." "We'll see each other at lunch." " Do you have cash for the bus?" " I almost forgot." "I paid the maid yesterday and forgot to go by the ATM to get more." "No, I only have this 7,65 pistol!" "Lina, for the love of God!" "What is this?" "It's a toy Roberto." "Can you believe this gun was with a student in school?" "Look at it, it's perfect." "Put that down!" "My heart is speeding!" "I am going to need some cash." "I'll give it back." "That's a good one, I'll give it back." "With interest!" ""MONEY ON THE SIDE"" " Good morning!" " Good morning, Mr. Roberto!" "Federal Bank, good morning!" "Janice speaking." "Federal Bank, good morning!" "Finelli speaking." "This is a small interest tax which I think is crucial for your investment." "Did you bring the missing document with you?" "Ok, thanks!" " Good morning, Janice!" " Good morning, Mr. Roberto!" " How's that stock option doing?" " It's doing well..." "How are you?" "Finelli, pay attention:" "Every time a plastic cup is pulled out of... this pile, 3, 4 come out at once." "Now look:" "Just 1!" "We are spending 3 cups less than we were!" "Think of the bank's savings!" "I invented it!" "What an idea, Roberto!" "Someday you'll become president of the bank!" "Have you heard the gossip Mr. Roberto?" "What gossip, Janice?" "They are saying that the bank will lay off more than a thousand." "I heard it too." "It was over 5 thousand." "Yep, that's right, between 5 or 15 thousand." "As you know the bank's profit was very low." "What nonsense!" "Pure terrorism." "You work in one of the most solid institutions of this country." "One that respects and values its employees." "Where's Romeiro?" "Arriving from Brasília in an hour." "When the helicopter's door opened... and I saw you, I swear to God, I thought:" "The helicopter crashed, I died and I went to heaven." "Very kind of you, Mr. Luiz Fernando." "Would you like to go over today's schedule?" "And if I've died and gone to heaven, let's take advantage of the angels' presence." "3pm you have the shooting of a commercial for CRED-FED - the credit for retirees." " Angela..." " Fancy dinner." "Fancy dinner?" "Nothing." "I just thought out loud, sorry." "I think you could give a dinner party to celebrate the launching of CRED-FED." " It's a good idea." "Very good." "What do you think of the name, CRED-FED?" "Me?" "I think it's good." "I think it's very good." "Because it reminds me of faith." "Credit for people who have lost their faith, like the retirees." "Faith..." "I hadn't thought of that." "You surprise me all the time." "What a mind you have and what talent!" "BUY..." "ENTER..." "Bingo!" "I just made a huge purchase... with Mr. Persio Malavoglia's credit card." "You are not going to tell Mr. Persio?" "I'll tell the owners of the site that their security system is very bad... then I will offer my services for a higher price... to solve their problems." "My old man said that the guys from Whisper were at the bank." " And?" " They were there for the whole week." "Hold on let's check it out." "Automation, internal access." "Death Whisper, that's their password." "Major automation company." "Wherever they go by, not even the janitor is spared." "Close those, man." "I can't see a thing here." " Excuse me!" " You are late!" "No sir!" "I am absolutely on time." "Fucking great!" "Romeiro, this is wonderful!" "Didn't I tell you?" "That info was privileged." "The Lemos stock has gone up 18% since yesterday." "What is it that you want?" "What do you mean?" "I was with Carlão!" "Look." "A check with an egg stain?" "!" "That's Zenom, that imbecile, who loves eggs." "But it's still worth it." "This afternoon the transfer will be done to Switzerland... and then we'll return the check." "I don't know what you mean." "Well, I never know a thing, I never knew, I never will." " What time?" " By 4pm." "4pm is good." "Mr. Luiz Fernando," "I get 2 million, you 48, right?" "That's the deal." "You have any objections?" "No." "I am very thankful." "These guys must make a ton of money." "That's all I want in life, you know?" "To work for a company like Whisper." "Man!" "Do it, I'll send your resume, now." " Now?" " Now!" "It's in here." "Really?" "Really." "Sure!" "What's my resume doing in your computer, bro?" " Man, I have everything here!" " You do, don't you?" "Even the answers to the 3rd year finals." "When you passed, I didn't understand a thing." "What do you mean, man?" "I passed on my own." " Yeah, right!" "Your own!" " Hours and hours studying." "Hours and hours hacking!" "I know." "Won't help you ever again!" "Mr. Luiz Fernando, sorry to interrupt..." "Sorry for what?" "You can come in whenever you want!" "The situation down there is getting dangerous." "Calm down." "Have a sit." "Romeiro, can't you see she's very nervous?" "Get her a glass of water." "Please don't." "Do you want me to call the police?" "What is going on?" "We are laying off 600 today and it leaked to the union." "Wait a minute!" "We are not firing!" "I am not firing anyone!" "If the bank's board, which I preside, decided to make a few cuts, what do I have to do with it?" "It's the Whisper's project, total automation." "Oh, now I remember." "Very upsetting." "We'll save 50 million per month." " 50 per month?" " Per month." "Well, that in a way, helps to heal my wounds." "What do I do with the crowd down there?" "Holy shit, they're pissed off!" "Soon it will be the congress, the TV." "They invent these computer programs that can do the job of 10 employees... and I the am one who get's beat up for it!" "Go yell at Bill Gates!" "He invented these shitty programs!" "Go scream at Microsoft!" "Excuse me, pardon my French but, we are fucked, Mr. Luiz Fernando." "What happened?" "Holy shit!" "Excuse me, Mrs. Lina?" "I am Lucinho's father." "Oh yes, good morning." "Am I bothering you?" "No, not yet." "Can I help you?" "Actually, I think we can both help each other." "How wonderful!" "I am anxious to know how you can help me." "I think I know how I can help you." "Lucinho is not doing well in school, right?" "Well with all those absences." "This is where we can help each other." "I know what a teacher's life is like." "The difficulties, the ridiculous salary... and I would be honored, flattered... if you accepted this humble contribution." "Is this a bribe?" "No." "That's not nice." "Contribution." "Contribution." "If I did accept this contribution, wouldn't you be worried... that your son is being educated by a corrupt person?" "No, as long as that person lets him pass." "Can I make a proposal?" "Depending on kind of the proposal, sure." "I'll call your son over here and I'll say to him:" ""Lucinho, your father thinks you are so stupid, but so stupid, that the only way... he thinks you'll pass is if he gives me some money." "Do you agree with your father, Lucinho?"" "What do you say?" "Should I call Lucinho?" "You're the boss, right?" "Oh God, I completely forgot about lunch." "Do you mind if I make a fritata with the leftover pasta?" "Of course not, your pasta is the best." "But make it quick." "Hi, dad!" " You didn't have class today?" " My calculus teacher's mother died." "Poor thing, again?" "It's the house installment Roberto..." "We're going to pay with interest." "Even though we are struggling," "I still believe buying this house was a good deal!" "Great!" "We bought it for 40, paid 60... and still owe 120!" "Great!" "Don't worry, Lina, everything will be ok." "I think I'm getting a promotion." "Really, Dad?" "I invented this little contraption at the branch..." " The one with the plastic cups?" " Did I tell you?" "Yeah." "The one with the 220 volts bulbs as well." "One day I'll patent my little inventions and get rich!" "You are rich, Roberto!" "Lina, we reached a compromise at the bank, half chicory, half pepperoni." "But you are only going to eat the chicory, right?" "I'll let people help themselves first." "If there's any chicory left," "I'll have it." "If not, I'll have the pepperoni." "Working nights at the bank, dad?" "You take it too seriously." "And I am proud of it!" "It's by taking it seriously that we get to the top." "Look at Mr. Luiz Fernando, owner and president of the bank." "A man of the highest integrity!" "Started out working on the coffee fields, and today is one of the richest men in the country!" " And I am his friend!" " Good friend!" "I am Mr. Luiz Fernando's friend!" "At the III Manager's Convention in Serra Negra," "I was by the pool, having breakfast, he came by, excused himself, sat at my table, asked if I was married... and then suddenly, out of the blue, he said:" ""Roberto, pass me the butter, please?"" "He called my name!" "I mean, he knows who I am!" "You are so silly Roberto, he saw your ID card." "The guy is banker, Dad." "He is nobody's friend." "Isn't your girlfriend his secretary?" "Ask her, if I am not his friend!" "If you say so, then I believe you, dad." "Enough with the computer, come have lunch." "Finelli." "Hey Finelli!" "What's up?" "Mom, Finelli's over for lunch again!" "Hey Finelli!" "We need another plate Lina!" "It's pasta again, Finelli." "What's the matter Finelli?" "You're not well?" "They laid off 600, Roberto!" "It's the computerization, cost reduction..." "Stop it!" "600 fired, where?" "Big company, anybody you knew, Finelli?" "At the bank, Roberto!" "Our bank!" "At the branch, you and I are out!" "This has to be a mistake, Finelli, we are a part of the manager's council." "There is a list." "Our names are there." "Weren't you going to be promoted, Dad?" " Go there Roberto!" " Of course it's a mistake!" "In 25 years, it's been clear to me, that Mr. Luiz Fernando values... the employee, the human being." "This man has fought a lot to convince our President... to authorize us to give credit to retirees." "If need be, I will go there and talk to Mr. Luiz Fernando, himself, at headquarters." "This can only be a mistake, these damn computers, they keep breaking down." "How many times have clients yelled at us because of computers, Finelli?" "It's true." "Stay here, eat your pasta, I'll be back in half an hour." " Want me to go with you?" " I am going too." "I am not going to the hospital, I am not going to a duel!" "I am going to talk to my boss and friend... to undo a mistake, that's all." "Call, alright?" "Did you hear anything else from Zenom?" "Carlão went to the bathroom on the plane - and wouldn't come out." "They banged the door down and there he was, fallen stricken." " Stroke." " Exactly." "Brain stroke." "Are you sure he is in a coma?" "Maybe he is just taking a nap." "Coma." "Deep coma." "It wouldn't be deep nap." "But Zenom is his brother's partner, isn't he?" " Seems so." " Good, then we'll settle with Zenom." "Did you manage to get that patient list?" "Is there any one I or Anésia know?" "This list was very expensive." "Tell me what isn't." "Senators were once dirt cheap, not anymore." "Judges, prosecutors, Congressmen, this government inflated everything." "How I miss the military dictatorship." "Mr. Sampaio Soares, he is here for a colonoscopy." "Great!" "If anybody asks what I am doing here:" "I came to visit Sampaio." "Let's go." "Oh!" "What a tragedy, Zenom!" "What a tragedy!" "And so sudden." "Strokes are generally like this, sudden." "You're sure he is in a coma?" "Coma... deep coma." "Maybe it would be better to get a second opinion?" "Maybe he just fainted heavily?" "If God wanted it like this, who are we to want it any other way, huh?" "But tell me, my friend, Zenom, about that transfer, you are aware, aren't you?" "I am in no condition to talk about work." "Listen, Zenom," "I would like to talk to you about strokes, heart attacks, comas, but, I need to make this transfer today." "You have to talk to Carlão." "I can't do anything." "Of course, of course." "I understand." "So..." "Let me go in there and talk to him." "I am sure he will authorize it." "Carlão is a very decent human being, isn't he?" "He is in a coma, deep coma." "I know, I know." "But usually there is an eye, an eyebrow, a pinky." "We have seen so many movies, haven't we, Romeiro?" "The guy communicates with a pinky, isn't it true?" "Loads of films." "If he moves an eyebrow, I'll call." "Now, will you excuse me, I'd like to be left alone." "I'd like you to leave." "Zenom can I be honest?" "I don't give a shit about your brother." "If he doesn't wake up or you decide not to make this transfer today," "I will deposit this fucking check and to hell with the both of you." " What have you done?" " Oh screw it, I'm not a kid!" "I've figured out." "I am not going to get my name stained because of this." "We'll rip the check and that's it." "End of story." "But then I lose 2 million!" "?" "I'll lose 48 and I'm not complaining!" "You, lose 48 and continue being a millionaire." "You lose 2 and continue to be poor." "Everything remains the same." " Mr. Romeiro..." " Yes..." "I received a letter of discharge." "You're a bank employee?" "Manager of the Limão branch, you were there once, sir..." "You can't come to the Presidency about this... you have to go to the Human Resources Department!" "But Washington didn't want to speak to me, Mr. Romeiro." "So, because the HR department wouldn't speak to you, you came over to speak to the president?" "Do you know you could get fired because of this?" "But I have been fired!" "I was the inventor of the plastic cup contraption." "I would like to speak to Mr. Luiz Fernando." "Mr. Roberto, if you aren't happy with the bank's decisions, talk to your union." "But that's not the case." "I am not fighting against the bank." "On the contrary, I love my job." "It's the computerization." "The bank is being modernized!" "If you are feeling harmed in your rights, go to the Labor Justice Dept." "But why, my God?" "Because it always takes your side over the bank's!" "My God, how insensitive!" "I am asking for help, because I cannot loose my job now!" "My son is in a computer college..." "Romeiro, we are in the middle of a crises and you are there arguing with someone?" "Mr. Luiz Fernando!" "It's me, Roberto!" "We met in Serra Negra!" "I passed you the butter, do you remember?" "I don't deserve to be fired." "I am a manager that puts the bank above all things." "Mr. Luiz Fernando is an idol to me..." "I have never missed a day!" "Not even the day my son was born!" "Mr. Romeiro, did you know that?" "I never missed a day!" "I never missed a day!" "I never missed a day!" "Not even once..." "It's a question of dignity and justice to fight for our colleagues!" "Spare some change for the love of God." "I am unemployed and my kids are hungry." "Thank you." "Down with Federal!" "Down with Federal!" "Down with Federal!" "How many of you are putting your lives on hold, and making our bank your number one priority?" "How many of you have forgotten anniversaries, your kids, wives or husbands' birthdays... because you have chosen the Federal Bank as your true family?" "That is why I am here today, to thank you." "Thank you from the bottom of my heart." "And what's more:" "I am here to make a promise." "The future will smile to all of you." "You have given me the best part of your lives." "I will return the time invested, just like a bank, with interest..." "I will give you back in joy, the sacrifices that you have deposited at the Federal Bank." "God bless you all!" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Manoel!" "Hey, Manoel, one more." "Mr. Roberto, Mr. Roberto..." "Drinking isn't going to bring back your job." "Mr. Manoel, have you seen Roberto?" "Roberto, my darling, it's me..." "Manoel, you traitor..." "I asked him not to turn me in." "Roberto, my darling, are you drunk?" "Drunk, me?" "I don't drink." "You are my witness:" "Do I drink?" "No, you don't drink." "Not even the Christmas cider." "So..." "Mr. Manoel, get me one!" "Yes, Ma'am." " Lina, you don't drink." " No, I don't drink a thing." "I said to Manoel;" "how am I going to face Henrique and Lina after this?" "Didn't I ask you?" "Traitor." "As you are in good company now, I'll leave the bottle." "But drink wisely." "I've never been rich, but we never lacked anything, did we?" "Speaking of which, we're out of coffee." " Cheers..." " Cheers..." "At first it stings but then it gets better." "Wanna see?" "Goes down smoothly..." "I have so much to tell you, but with words I don't know how to say, how great is my love for you." "I could have been a singer... if I had the opportunity, a Roberto Carlos, who knows?" "I could be rich, Lina." "Filthy rich!" "You are rich, Roberto." "What if we lose the house?" "We get rid of a 120 thousand debt." "You become even richer!" "How am I going to find another job?" "Until you do, you are on vacation." "Enjoy your vacation." "You're right, it's going down smoothly." "I told you!" "Just can't give up." "Delicious..." "And what if I don't find another job?" "Endless vacation... is there anything better?" "Only if I were rich." "I told you, you are rich!" "Rich, me?" "Stop!" "I don't even have a job!" "Roberto, look at me!" "Look at me!" "If you see me with your own eyes, you are rich." "If you hear me, you are rich." "If you breathe the polluted air of this city and are still alive, you are rich." "If you can get up from this table... and walk with your own legs to wherever you want, you are rich!" "If you can scream from the top of your lungs... against the bank that unjustly fired you, you are rich!" "If you have a beautiful and healthy son, who studies at one of the best computer colleges in the country, you are very rich!" "Dad?" "Dad." "Are you upset with me?" "Upset with you, why?" "You didn't fire me..." "I know, but... there was the automation thing, the computers which you've always hated and I always defended it..." "Dad, I even send them my resume today..." "Why should a father be upset... with his son because the future belongs to him?" "You are my pride... and joy, kid." "Come here you, cause I'm feeling like the richest man in the world." "But this tab will be paid another day." "Deposit the check." "Deposit this shit, now." "Deposit it now!" "It can be in your account." "My account?" "!" "I am the one of the bank's director, I am monitored." "You want to teach me how the goddamn financial system works." "What are we going to do, now?" "It can't be into Anésia's account, much less mine." "What about Angela?" "Angela?" "What about her?" "We could make the deposit in her account." " Angela?" " Angela!" "You just gave me a great idea." "Do you think she'll agree?" " She's very smart, you know?" " Maybe you can convince her." "Do you think I still have..." "a certain charm?" "Special." "Special charm." "I have to tell you something." " Sit down." " Excuse me." "Angela's made quite an impression on me." "Understandable." "She is very attractive." "Would you believe that I catch myself thinking about her?" "I know she has a boyfriend, but we..." " you know..." " Never knew a thing." "We almost..." "Never knew anything." "And now, if I give her a considerable share, who knows..." "Who knows?" "It's just that for years, things at home have been complicated." "Anésia has became a construction site." "It's been 3 or 4 years since I've seen her entirely." "There's always a bandage here or there... and now, the biggest confession of all are you ready?" "I don't know..." "Angela reminds me of Anésia when we first met." "It's tough!" "What time is it?" "3pm." "Holy shit, Romeiro!" "Enough of small talk, the banks are going to close." "Call Angela quickly." "Angela, my dear, you know how much I like you and..." "Romeiro will you please excuse us?" "Sure, excuse me." " Angela..." " A week off." "Are you taking a week off?" "I have thought about it." "You know how much I admire you and respect your work, your dedication... and above all, you are one of my most trustworthy people." "Thank you very much." "As proof of my recognition, I am going to make a deposit in your account." "50 million." "49 million and 300 thousand are mine... and 700 thousand Reais yours." "You... you want me to be your frontperson on this scam?" "Is that it?" "My talent, my dedication, my merits, all they account for is..." "for me being your frontperson?" "I have a wonderful future in store for you." "You're offending me." "Do you or do you not need a frontperson?" "I need a friend." "In this case a good friend." "This "good friend" of yours is going to cost you 900 thousand." "900 thousand?" "Done." "Paris..." "Romeiro, come over here, please." "900 thousand?" "What's the problem?" "You're getting 1 million 800!" "What happened to the other 200 thousand." "It was 2 million!" "They went to Angela." "I had planned on 700." "She asked for 900." "What can I do?" "Is it a problem?" "No, not at all." "I'm as always immensely grateful." "Hold on, one question; how am I going to justify this money?" "Leave it to me Angela." "Romeiro, get the special mobile and call Nanico." "Nanico?" "Just a moment..." "Hey, Nanico!" "LF speaking..." "Everything ok?" "...How's your luck today?" "So-so?" "50 million..." "Only 10?" "Are you sure?" "Alright what can we do." "Later on I'll send someone over, ok?" "You thief, Nanico!" "15%?" "A lot of demands?" "Alright, done." "Later on Romeiro will come by." "If someone hits a jackpot, let me know, I am interested." "Bye Nanico." "10 million you won on the lottery." "Now, we need 40." "Zizinho." "Call Zizinho." "Mr. Zizinho?" "One moment." "Zizinho, how's everything?" "Listen that farm you sold to the St. Inês Mill for 400 million, there wasn't a broker, right?" "But, there was one." "Payback time." "Ms. Angela Barbosa dos Santos received 40 million for the brokerage." "She'll send the invoice today." "Big hug Zizinho." "How did you know I was a realtor?" "I won't say your favorite lingerie store, so you don't get embarrassed." "The money will be deposited in the Brazilian Bank, where you've had an account." "Romeiro get Angela's account details for the deposit." "The crew to shoot the commercial is here." "You, my retired friend," "I know why you are disappointed, you are sad..." "Cut!" "You, my retired friend, I know why you're disappointed." "You have worked hard your whole life and..." "Cut!" "My retired friend, I know why you are sad." "You have worked hard all your life... and when the time to enjoy arrives, all you have... is a miserable pension from the government, a pension that barely lets you buy the medication... you need so much." "You've lost hope, you've lost faith!" "But I am here with CRED-FED." "With CRED-FED... you'll dream again, you'll have faith again!" "Down with Federal!" "Down with Federal!" "Down with Federal!" "That's a wrap!" "Lina, I want you to forgive me." "What for?" "I know I got left behind." "I turned into a dinosaur, an old galosh." "I should have listened to our son." "Mr. Luiz Fernando is right." "Things have gotten tougher." "It's just that deep down, I thought, in a little while I'd be able to retire, and if I..." "I know it's silly, but I would be so proud if I could retire by the bank." "I think you deserved that." "Now, rest a bit." "I'll make us some coffee, 25 years of dedication." "Damn it!" "That's a life!" "I think I deserve a little more consideration, don't you?" "I do, now rest." "Hold on, Lina." "Honestly, don't you think" "I should go back there and kill Mr. Luiz Fernando?" "I do." "What?" "But take a little rest first, then you'll kill him." "That's exactly what I am going to do." "Take a little rest, then kill him a little." "Have some water." "You alright?" "Thanks." "Thanks." "Done." "Here's the deposit receipt." "Finally." "Like I always say:" "In God we trust." "Here you go missy, your fortune." "Hold on, something's wrong." "My account number is 349-9775." "The account number in this the receipt is 349-9776." "This isn't my account." "Mom!" "Mom, there's 50 million in your account!" "50 million problems." "There's 50 million Reais alright!" "Look here, I am serious!" "Oh, Henrique, I don't have time for this." "Look." "This must be a mistake!" "Maybe you inherited from your relatives in Alcântara." "My relatives in Alcântara are going on welfare." "It's a mistake." "But it's in your account." "Now what?" "Your father will know what to do." "Fucking incompetence!" "Romeiro, you didn't check the name?" "I did." "It's right here, Angelina Barbosa de Souza." "My name is Angela Barbosa dos Santos." "I know, but I thought maybe you didn't like Angelina... and had changed to Angela." "Now, about the last name, I confess..." "I didn't notice the difference between Souza and Santos." "Romeiro, you did it." "You clean it!" "I am trying to talk to the manager..." "Go there damn it and solve this shit." "And you lady, go with him." "Go prove, you are who you are." "Get out, both of you!" "Out!" "Get out, damn it!" "Come!" "Roberto?" "Roberto?" "Roberto?" "Henrique, your father's gone!" "If you make a sound, I'll kill you." "Calm down, my friend, calm down." "If you want money, you've come to the right place." "Unfortunately money is not the problem." "This is a matter of honor, respect, dignity, integrity," " Ioyalty, hurt, sadness..." " You are Roberto." "Roberto Barbosa de Souza." "My employee!" "I knew it!" "I knew you were my friend, since that morning in Serra Negra." "I don't know, have no idea." "He was a little drunk." "HAS THE STUFF ARRIVED YET?" "Ok, ok." "I'll wait." "Thanks, Finelli." "REALLY WEIRD." "THE CHECK WAS SIGNED BY CARLOS ISTVAN DE MELO, AKA CARLÃO." " Carlão?" "A BUSINESSMAN." "HE HELPED FINANCE THE GOVERNMENT CAMPAIGN." "HE OPERATES ONE OF" "THE LARGEST LAUNDRIES IN THE COUNTRY." "AND HERE'S THE BIGGEST SURPRISE:" " What's that?" "!" "HE'S CONNECTED TO HIS GREAT FRIEND" "DR. LUIZ FERNANDO, BUT THERE'S NO EVIDENCE, OF COURSE." "So that was the problem." "Your mistake and mine." "You typed up the wrong number and I got the names mixed up." "I wanted to apologize Mr. "Romero"..." "Please, Romeiro!" "Romeiro." "My apologies to you too, Angela." "But, listen, it won't be a problem." "I just have to call Angelina, and ask her to authorize the reversal... and look what a coincidence;" "Angelina is married to a colleague of mine, one of your managers, Roberto." " You mean Lina, Henrique's mom?" " Yes." " Who's Henrique?" " My boyfriend!" "Then it's all in the family." "Call her!" "No, I better go there." "How am I going to explain it to her over the phone?" "Alright then César, Angela will talk to her, then Angelina will call you, ok?" "Thank you very much, Mr. Romeiro." "You know these things happen." "It shouldn't, but I know they do." "See you soon." "That convention was amazing, sir." "Sir?" "Aren't we friends?" "25 years referring to you as sir, I mean, to my friend as sir." "But what a beautiful convention!" "I shed tears." "I know men are not supposed to cry, but that day I wept." "I remember well the Lindoia convention." " Serra Negra." " Serra Negra." "Unforgettable." "Everyone was there." "You, John, Bill, and Tony." "At the table, during breakfast?" "At the breakfast table, of course." "It was morning, early morning." "You sat at our table." "In moments like these we look for our friends." "You were about to sit when you said pointing to me:" ""Roberto, pass me the butter please!"" " Do you remember that?" " Of course!" "I've got goose bumps." "I said:" ""Roberto, please pass me the butter"" "and do you remember what happened right after?" "Oh man, now you got me." "What happened?" "You don't remember but I do:" "You passed me the butter!" "How long have you been working for me?" "25 years." "10 as a cashier, 5 as sub-manager and 10 as manager at the Limão branch." "An meteoric career!" "Congratulations!" "25 years and this is the 1 st time you come visit me?" " 1 st time." " What kind of a friend are you?" "Oh, come on..." "Roberto, do you mind if I answer the phone?" "No... it must be important." "Excuse me." "Hello?" "The money was deposited in the account of Angela's boyfriend's mother." "Angelina Barbosa de Souza, which by the way is the wife... of our ex-manager of the Limão branch," "Roberto Barbosa de Souza..." "My good friend Roberto Barbosa de Souza." " What do you mean?" " I'll tell you later." "That's right." "That's right." "I can't believe it." "Is this it?" "What?" "Was this the hoe with which you started working in the coffee fields and went on to become the president of this bank?" "The one and only!" "My lucky charm." "Wanna touch it?" "Go ahead." "Lina won't believe this." "Lina?" "Mrs. Angelina?" "How is she?" "Very well." "My son Henrique is in a computer college." "A great kid." "But, Roberto, what made you come here with a gun?" "I was going to kill you sir, sorry," "I was going to kill you." "But just a little." "But why?" "We are such good friends!" "You fired me sir, humiliated me, got two security men to throw me out... after 25 years of good service at the Limão branch." "How could someone in this shitty bank... have the audacity to fire the best manager I've had?" "I knew nothing about it!" "Me and 599." "What tragedy!" "But we are going to change this." "This is such a small world." "Do you believe in coincidence, Roberto?" " I do." " Then listen to this." "Before you arrived, I received a call." "A manager - who should have taken a course with you - deposited my money, into guess who's account?" "Your dear and faithful wife Angelina Barbosa de Souza!" "Can you believe that?" "No problem, we'll talk to her and she'll authorize the reversal." "Roberto, my friend!" "Thank God it was you who passed me that butter in Caxambu!" " Serra Negra." " Serra Negra!" "Thank God you decided to kill me, because now, or some other day, you can ask your wife... to clear up this mess and..." " make the reversal." " Let's go talk to her now." "Now?" "Are you sure we won't bother her?" "What if she's busy ironing?" "Lina won't believe it." "Me and my great friend Luiz Fernando!" "Angela you parked too close to the curb... and the tire when compressed, looses pressure." "If the tire starts to lose pressure, the valve turns red warning us." "Damn it, Romeiro!" "We are running after 50 million... and you're worried about a flat tire?" " You're right." "Let's go." " No." "I better go in by myself." "It will look strange if I walk in with you." "What are you going to tell her?" "The truth, that I won the lottery... brokered the sale of a farm." "All very legal." "Ok." "I'll wait here." "And I am sorry." "It was my mistake." "No, maybe it was mine." "If I had refused..." "Is it true you are a Harvard graduate?" "Yes, I am." "How did you end up working for Luiz Fernando, huh?" "You are the second person to ask me this question today." "Angela?" "What are you doing here at this hour?" " Hi, Mrs. Lina." " Angela?" "What happened?" "Oh God, you were fired too!" "Don't even get me started, what an awful day. 600 people but I escaped." "You know my dad was one of them?" "No, I can't believe it!" "Mr. Roberto?" "The best manager of all..." "That's right, my dear." "You want some coffee?" "I think I'll accept, I'm not a coffee drinker... but after what happened to me today, I'll have some coffee." "What happened?" "I got rich." "I won 10 million in the lottery... and 40 million on a farm brokerage." " 50!" " 50!" "50." "Stop it." "50 million?" "That's wonderful!" "And why are you looking so worried?" "Angela?" "Angela, I don't understand." "It's not a sin to be rich." "Look at me." "You are very rich." "Our conversation this morning, your fears, forget about it all." " Now you can do whatever..." " Dirty money!" "Dirty money!" "I was a frontperson for one of Mr. Luiz Fernando's scams." "I couldn't resist, I mean he didn't force me or anything," "I did it because I wanted to." "I did it to get 900 thousand." "Well my dear, all you need to do is give the money back and that's it." "Yeah, just give the money back." "That's the problem." "I don't want to give the money back." "It's 900 thousand." "I've never laid eyes on so much money like that in all my life." "I will always be the hot secretary... that gets gifts and indecent proposals, till the day I'll stop being hot and get fired." "I want this money." "I want this money." "Then keep the money and do something with it." " I don't think that's right." " You can open an NGO for the blind." "Then you won't have to worry about people... thinking you are just good looking and hot." "Stop making fun of me!" "I love you." "Mrs. Lina, but the worst is still to come." "The thing is, this money, this check, it was deposited into the wrong account." " It was deposited into..." " My account!" "The businessman's check." "Holy shit!" "That's right." "I came here to ask you this dirty favor." "Call your bank and authorize the reversal." "Your boss fires and humiliates my husband... together with 600 other employees." "He uses you as a frontperson." "This money is dirty money." "Corruption money!" "And now, I simply authorize the reversal?" "Sorry, my dear, let's have a cup of coffee, because this conversation is going to last a little longer." "Come here." "CAPILÉ, ARE YOU THERE?" "I was the inventor of the plastic cup contraption." "The savings at the branch were around 0,23%." "The plastic cup is the Achilles' heel of the banking industry." "If I knew, the contraption would have been placed in every branch." "Changing the subject, that gun, wouldn't you prefer to put it in the glove compartment?" "No, it's a toy." "But it's perfect." "It was with one of the students at Lina's school." "Holy macro." "Would they need a a Harvard graduate at Pirelli?" "What are you doing here, sir?" "I came with my good friend Roberto Barbosa de Souza... to clear up the major mess you guys made." "Romeiro, how come you never told him about the plastic cup contraption?" "!" " Angela is inside." " Great." "You come in too cause the blame is going to fall on you." "I knew she was going to get a flat tire." "Hello!" "Dad, Mom was worried." "Come in, Luiz Fernando." "It's a very simple home." "Oh, please!" "Roberto my God, where have you been?" "I was about to call the police, my love." "You ma'am, must be Mrs. Angelina." "It's a great pleasure to be at your home." "Pleasure is all mine, sir, and you are?" "Please, no need for sir." "Luiz Fernando." "Is this the good friend, who threw you out after 25 years?" "Lina, please!" "?" "This is no way to treat the president of the Bank, my friend Luiz Fernando Almeida Cintra." "Roberto, she's right." "To her, I fired you plus 599." "She doesn't know that I didn't know anything." "That's a good one, a president that doesn't know of anything." "But we already know about everything." "Angela told us the whole scam and the whole mess." "And now you need me to authorize the reversal, right?" "Exactly, simple as that." "Do you want my assistant to call the bank?" "We can call." "Call Lina." "Not before some negotiating, because... now the money is mine." "If you allow me, ma'am, that is misappropriation of funds." "What did you say your name was?" "Romeiro." " "Romero", my son..." " Please, Romeiro." "So, you seem like a nice person, I could be mistaken, but I noticed that your brain seems limited." "I tell him that every day." "Very well put." "Misappropriation of funds, means to keep something which does not belong to you, therefore, improper." "But, as far as I know, this money does not belong to you," "IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT, CAPILÉ?" "It is fraudulent money, scam money." "This money belongs to the people." "Being I, part of the people, this money belongs to me." "But, I too am part of the people." "We are all part of the people." "Do your part, Romeiro, and shut up." "I know what's going on and I want to propose, Mrs. Lina, a deal." "A thousand Reais in cash, right here, under the table, tax free." "Your offer is very generous." "You sure you can make do without?" " I'll manage." " Oh, good." "But before saying if I accept or not," "I want you, sir, to apologize to Roberto!" "No, Lina, there's no need!" "It's ok Roberto, if she wants me to:" "I am sorry." "In the name of our great friendship," "I ask you to forgive me." "No, Mr. Luiz Fernando, you don't have to!" "I am the one who should ask for..." "I believe we have solved that." "Very well." "Now, I ask that you ma'am, keep your end of the deal and call the bank to authorize the reversal." " Not yet!" " We made a deal, ma'am!" "I didn't make any deal!" "Did I say I was going to call the bank?" "Roberto, do something." "After all, she is your wife!" "Lina, call the bank!" "Mr. Luiz Fernando is asking!" "No, Roberto!" "But he did everything you wanted, he didn't fire me, he apologized." "No, no and no!" "I am ordering you!" "The money was deposited into my account!" "I am sorry sir, but she doesn't want to." "Lina can be like that sometimes..." " She is crazy!" "Call the cops." " Shut up, Romeiro." "Call the cops!" "I am going to love telling them all about it." "Look Mrs. Lina you don't have to do it for Mr. Luiz Fernando, but for me, for Henrique." "I am going to get a million in this transaction." "For me?" "Screw you!" "I don't want anything to do with your money." "I don't even know you, in fact I don't even recognize you." "It's ok Henrique, maybe she can open a fancy brothel with this money and leave you alone." "I'll guarantee you your million." "Hold on, why is everyone attacking me?" "Anybody is on my side?" "I promise I'll be a regular at your fancy brothel." "I think I misunderstood the amount." "A million?" " Did you hear that, Romeiro?" " It was 900 thousand." " Whose side are you on, Angela?" " My side." "And besides, 100 thousand more or less, what difference does it make to you?" "None at all." "I'll take it from Romeiro." "From me?" "And why not from Mrs. Lina?" "Because I still haven't defined her cut on the deal... and as I am a soft hearted person," "I decided to offer her a bigger cut, 10 thousand Reais." "Except, I will need a receipt." "I have to report this expense." "Lina, do me a favor:" "For the love of God, call the bank." "Alright." "I'll accept, but I want half." "25 million?" "!" "Congratulations, "Romero"!" "Romeiiiro." "You are good in math." "Thank you." "I believe your proposal is not very reasonable." "Maybe a little less?" "Shut up, Romeiro!" "This is absurd!" "Guys, what about my million?" "Is it coming out from Mr. Luiz Fernando's share?" "Or Mrs. Lina's?" "Good question, Angela." "What about my million and 800 thousand?" "Now I am worried." "He's your boss, you deal with him." "She's right." "Now, my million, you will guarantee me." "Remember my fancy brothel?" "You're right." "What's fair is fair." "I'll make do with 24 million." "Hold on!" "You're bargaining my money?" "I am not going to give shit to anyone, and that's final." "Wonderful." "Me too, I've just decided to call the police." " You want to put everyone to jail?" " Don't touch me!" "I just want you to accept my offer, I want 50%!" "50%, that's absurd!" "Please sit down!" "Calm down, Lina!" "Calm down." "Friends, calm down!" "Sit down!" "Mr. Luis Fernando..." "Friends, calm down!" "Lina, calm down." "Calm down." "Mrs. Lina:" "50 thousand." "40 declared and 10 under the table." "Take it or leave it." "Hell of a deal..." "Sorry." "You are so cheap!" "Better to be cheap than a dishonest frontperson!" "Alright that's it, I've had enough." "My price just went up." "I want 8 million Reais!" "For someone who is being used as a frontperson, it's the least!" "And besides, I know of a lot of dirt that have happened... in that office of yours, in your shitty bank." "Are you threatening me?" "No!" "She is just making a proposal, which I think is unreasonable." "Romeiro, once and for all, could you shut the fuck up?" "Sure, but I am really worried about my 1.8 million." "We'll split the money." "40% for you, 40% to Mrs. Lina and 20% to me." "This way everyone has their part and nobody complains." "Sorry, but as Mrs. Lina pointed out, I am good in math." "20% is 10 million, it was 8." " What about the inflation?" " Inflation, that's right." "The inflation is under control." "You imbecile!" "Stop arguing with this cow." " Cow, me?" " No, me!" " And the imbecile is me, right?" " Right." "Wrong." "I have a Harvard degree." "I was a good student..." "Romeiro, do you know what you can do with that diploma?" "I do." "I'll take this money, go back to Harvard... and forget the mess I have done with my life." "Sorry, Romeiro, but are you really sure of anything in this life?" "Think about it." "Lina, for the love of God, give this damn money back." "They stole it!" "One more reason for us not to keep it." "This money will only do us harm..." "Roberto is right, Mrs. Lina, money doesn't bring happiness." "Henrique?" "Give it back Mom, dad's right." "Ok Roberto." "Call the Bank." "I will speak to the manager and authorize the reversal." "Hello?" "Could I speak to César, the manager?" "Just a second, please." "César?" "It's Angelina Barbosa," "Roberto's wife, from the Federal Bank." "50 million Reais were deposited in my account..." "What?" "The check bounced?" "Holy cow!" "Let me talk to him!" "César?" "Luiz Fernando, from the Federal." "What's going on César?" "Yes, Zenom, Carlão's brother." "Carlão died?" "Holy shit!" "Carlão died... and Zenom withdrew everything from the account." "He must be on his way to Miami." "The money is gone..." "Holy shit." "Very well, tomorrow will be a normal day at the bank," "I hope to see you all there on time as usual..." "Except for you, Angela." "You are fired." "You see, Romeiro?" "Nothing changed." "You coming with me or are you going back to Harvard?" "I'm coming with you." "Good." "Roberto, my dear old friend..." "Tomorrow I'll come by to get my things." "I can't afford to lose people like you, Roberto." "Forgive me, sir, it is very hard for me to say this, but I've lost all the respect I had for you." "I have always admired honesty." "Tomorrow I expect you at my office 9am sharp!" "Let's go Romeiro." "It's sad to lose a friend like this..." "Sad is to lose 25 million." "Who said we lost 25 million?" "We won 50!" "What do you mean we didn't lose the money?" "What are you guys up to?" "Come here Mom." "You there bro?" "Come!" "Hold on." "Mom, talk to César from the Brazilian Bank." " Again?" " Go on." " Hello?" " Mrs. Lina, this is César." "César?" "It's Mrs. Lina." "Zenom went to a Jaguar Bank branch... and withdrew the 50 million..." "It's me, Capilé, Mrs. Lina!" "It's Capilé!" "It's Capilé!" "What have you guys done?" "You naughty, the money is still in my account?" "50 million." "We are rich." "You have to give that money back!" "You were too harsh on me." "Wasn't that the deal?" "By the way Mom, great idea the fancy brothel." " It was perfect." " Lina, you knew about this?" "I thought it was César on the phone." "I swear!" "Now we have to think how we are going to split up this money." "We are 4." "I am not going to be a part of this scam." "Fine, we are 3." "You two count as one." " Mom!" "I am your son!" " And I am your mother!" "And I am the owner of this house and I order you to give back this money!" "No you are not the owner." "You still owe them 120 thousand." "DON'T FORGET MY SHARE" "Action!" "What a pity... if he wanted to work in the bank, to go to that college..." "To make some sacrifice to buy that apartment..." "Not the apartment!" "You know that when the helicopter door opened and I saw you..." "I swear that I thought that." "The helicopter died..." " Oh!" "The helicopter died?" " Cut!" " We'll return the check later..." " Cut!" "What's that?" "It seems that I'm going..." "Oh..." "What's that?" "It seems that I'm going... to hell." " You're so petty..." " I prefer petty than..." "It was my idea to save plast..." "It was my idea to save plastic caps..." "Caps!" "What the hell..." "You're Roberto!" "Roberto Barbosa dos San..." "Oh, shit." " Love..." " Action!" "Cut." "We first met in Serra Negra!" "I gave you a cup of coffee..." "A cup of coffee my ass!" "Son of a bitch!" "I shouldn't be fired, I'm a... oh..." "I never missed a day, not even the day my son was born!" "Remember, Dr. Renan..." "Oh, shit..." "Oh, son of a bitch..."
