"90 people talking to other 90 people, it's mouth-to-mouth to 180 people." "It's mouth-to-mouth!" "It's gonna be a hit." "Easy, Luis Alberto What are you doing?" "What are you looking for?" "Easy, Luis Alberto!" "All hits begin this way." "It takes a while." "Stop rummaging in the drawer!" "Stop thinking about money!" "What will you do?" "Where are you going?" "Come back here, Luis Alberto!" "Come back here!" "My God!" "Somebody help me!" "Luis Alberto?" "HELP!" "IRMA VEP Returns!" ""To be or not to be." "That is the question"."

"Jesus!" "Luis!" ""Your time is like the time of things." "You are the hand in the glove" Oduvaldo Vianna Filho." ""What is life?" "Something frantic." "What is life?"

"Your dad and Otávio were pillars of our theater." "Whatever you need, you know I'm here for you." "By the way, you've known I'm here for you for years." "How about staging Irma Vep again, huh?"

" What a weird teacher!" " But she's extremely competent." "She was a hit when she was little." "She was famous, remember?" " Cleide Albuquerque." " Never heard." "My love, the little big singer." "It's been a century!" " Tony Albuquerque's sister." " The cripple?" "Oh, why did you remember that?" "Anyway, she's very weird." "Let's go, Maria Luisa." " It's Camila!" " Sorry, Camila." "So, baby?" "Have you seen the cripple yet?" "Ungrateful son." "What an ungrateful son." "You ingrate, you're ruining my life." "At least, good morning, right?" "But, how to direct it?" "No one better than me, right, mommy?" "Better to do it with another actor." "Tarcisio Meira." "Zé Mayer, for instance." "You should be a casting director, mom." "Yeah!" "Who revealed your talent when you were 2 years old?" "Speaking of a great actor, you have to be the actor." "Tony could play the mummy, since he's deformed, right?" "Very well, mommy!" "Since you've made the casting, you call Cleide." "See if Tony gives us the rights." "Me, talk to that nutcase!" "She's a dangerous woman, son." "And tell your producer to go alone." "I won't let you go there, huh?" "Oh, Darcy!" "Cleide, this is Darcy." "Call me!" "I need to talk to you and Tony about Irma Vep's rights." "You know my number, 97080244." "The fruitcake won't call you back!" "You're the fruitcake!" "Hello!" "Please, I'd like to talk to Cleide." "This is Darcy Lopes." "Is it open?" "Just a second, then, please." " Let me do the talking." " No way!" "You don't say a word." "Fine, you do the talking." "Cleide had a huge crush on you." "What a surprise!" " Come in." " You look gorgeous!" "Come in, come in." "Yeah, have a seat." "Sit down." "Hi, Lobo." "I've missed you!" "You brew strong tea, Cleide." "When I brew tea, it's tea I brew!" "When I boil water, it's water I boil!" "Could you mix both in the same pot?" " You don't like me." " I don't hate you." "You neither hate me, nor like me." "I'm not used to you." "I'll have to get used to you." "You still remember the lines perfectly, Cleide." "And you decided to remember them now." "Back during the play's run, I remember well... you didn't know a single line!" "Then we buy the rights for twice the amount you've paid." "And you'll have a cut of the box office." "Do you actually think?" "If you think at all, you know I won't accept a cut of a play destined to be a flop." "Cast is what matters, and you don't have it." "We do think, Cleide." "We've considered many talented young actors for the cast." "We thought you wouldn't be stupid to not accept the money." "Well, I'll consider your proposal." "I'll talk to Tony and I'll call you back." "Beat it, now." "I have classes to teach." " Excuse me, excuse me." " Of course!" "Thanks." "This way." "Come on!" "Come on!" "I'd love to see Tony." "It's been so long." "Oh, love, it would be a great idea, if he wished to be seen, but that's not the case." " Goodbye, my dears." " Goodbye." "Tea was excellent Thanks a lot!" "Goodbye." "My number is in your machine." "And we'll wait for you call." "You rang, dear?" "Cleide, it's Darcy, isn't it?" "It was, yes." "It's been a while since he came here." " Didn't he ask to see me?" " No." "What did he want?" "Nothing." "He's producing Irma Vep again." "I have the rights!" "I won't sell them for anything!" "I'll get your dinner." "Cleide, clarify that to me." "Cleide, come back!" "Cleide!" "Vaginal gases are wonderful!" "Only we can produce them, Men can't." "And ours don't stink!" "Theirs is terrible!" "It's very funny." "I never tire of this show." "It's a riot!" "A riot!" "Let go!" "Odete, it's Ana Maria." "For you, mom." "Go ahead, dear." "I see..." "I see..." "I see!" "Did I get it right?" "You make five calls." "Each person makes five calls." "Then, each person makes another five calls." "It is a chain game." "Of course, I'll call." "Kissy, kissy." "Jane, Jane, did you see my datebook?" "Mom, you're not talking on the phone right now, are you?" "Darcy, what a fright!" "Come back!" " Darcy, gimme this phone back!" " The neighbors will complain." "So what!" "Do they pay my bills?" "Gimme the phone!" "Gimme the phone, baby!" "Ungrateful son!" "Hello?" "Speaking!" " Go ahead, Cleide." " Oh, it's you..." "I have news." "We were thinking... and we've decided to sell you the rights if you agree to a few provisions Tony has named..." "No, that won't be a problem." "No, Tavinho will call you." "And we add this clause to the contract." "Did the nutcase agree?" "Will the cripple work?" "And how much will you make?" "Let me negotiate the deal." "Fine, mommy!" "Don't break the chain, OK?" "Somebody might die, you know." "I was waiting for this contract." "I'll get my brother's signature." "He's eating in the kitchen." " Ok." " Tony!" " Tony Albuquerque, right?" " My dearly beloved brother." "He's a great actor." " Says who?" " I think he is." " Really?" " Yeah!" " Just a second, OK?" " Fine." "Just a moment, OK, dear?" "Just a split second, OK?" "Yes, ma'am." " Just a second." " Fine." "Here." " Thank you, dear." " You're welcome." "Close the gate for me?" "And the door, of course." " OK." "Have a good day." " Likewise, dear." "It is a horror comedy, a joke." "You'll see when we start rehearsals." "Well, it is ridicule theater." "You have to seize this chance." "It's two actors playing 6 characters." "It's the hit that ran for 11 straight years..." "That was all we needed." "You were the absent one." " I don't mean to hinder you." " You're not." "We'll talk later." "I don't want to be underfoot." " You have 400 seats to choose." " One is enough, dear." "Make yourself home, Cleide!" "We'll start readings now." "Oh, sorry..." "Good afternoon." "I don't want to be a burden." "You're no burden." "Let's get started, folks." "Set:" "Lord Edgard Montepico's castle, England." "Season:" "Dead of winter." "Conflict:" "Lady Enid tries to take." "The unforgettable Irma Vep's place."

"Insufferably romantic, weak." "In short, a man." "Nicodemo?" "Clubfooted, brutish..." "A werewolf, a perv." "Lady Irma?" "A portrait on the wall, a voice, a memory." "Scene 1:" "Jane cleans the house." "Nicodemo brings her eggs." "Watch your step!" "You'll get mud on the floor." "Don't stomp that wooden leg!" "You'll wake Lady Enid up!" "I was crippled saving Lord Edgard from the wolf!" "My leg's noise should cheer her up, after all I did for him." "Your tongue will be the death of you." "There are things better left unsaid." "Lord Edgard will need our help." "Now, more than ever." "What is it?" "You don't need to be scared." "Nicodemo's here to protect you." "Keep your hands to yourself." "You smell of horses!" "You would, too, if you slept in the stables." "Remember your place!" "Forget about me." "You're beneath me, and will always be." "One day, you'll want to be under me." "How dare you speak to me like that?" " I'm educated!" " Educated?" "Ha!" "I used to read, I do read, and I will read." "I'm a well-read woman!" "I'm well-read, too." "Pork Farming 101!" "You managed to wake Lady Enid." "Oh, Jane, you made the room cozy and joyful." "Thank you, Jane!" "What are you doing?" "You are a woman!" "Oh, Jane." "You made the room cozy and joyful." "Thank you, Jane!" "More of a woman!" "A real woman!" "Go!" "Oh, Jane, you made the room cozy and joyful." "Believe that you are a woman." "Go for it!" "You made the room cozy and joyful." "Thank you, Jane!" "Can I get you a nice cup of tea, ma'am?" "If you don't mind..." "That's what I'm here for." "That's it!" "Believe it!" "I am a woman." " I am a woman." " I am a woman." " I am a woman!" " I am a woman!" " I am a woman!" " I am a woman!" " I am a woman!" " That's it!" "Good morning." "Coffee, toast... butter, newspaper." "What else do you want?" "Finally, you remembered I do exist." "I'm so busy, you wouldn't believe it!" "Home, home, home!" "It's crazy taking care of a house." "House?" "You're always out now!" "." "Out!" "Out!" "Out!" "How crazy it is to be out!" "Cleide, don't get all ironic with me!" "Oh, Tony!" "You complain if I'm in." "You complain if I'm out." "You complain about everything, Tony." "And you bring me a torn paper." "It was probably Lobo." "This dog is insufferable." "Lobo uses scissors now?" "Enough of this questioning and complaining." "I still have lots to do today." "I can't waste all day with a grumpy old man." "And where are you going in these green fingernails?" "When I said enough questions..." "I thought you'd know it meant also enough of answering." "Bye!" "Oh, what a scare!" "Oh, what a fright!" "What a fright!" " Do you need any help?" " Thank you!" "Very kind." "I'd like you to set up the gas back home." "But I want you to do it yourselves, OK?" " We're on it." " Thank you." "Thank you!" "Very kind." "Natural gas, right?" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Come!" "Come!" "Be careful." "It is delicate stuff, huh?" " How are you?" " Hello!" "I've been watching you." "You love rehearsals, don't you?" "For me, rehearsals taste of applause." "Just like Tony." "I hope I can be just like Tony on stage, too." "You will be." "You'll be even better." "No way!" "I don't know if you've heard of me?" "I was a great singer." "The Little Great Singer." "That's what they called me." "I was a smash hit." "Do you like Brecht, too?" "Why?" "You like his work, too?" "Well, I'm the biggest expert on Brecht you'll ever meet." "You don't say!" "I have a dream I'll do the "Three Penny Opera"." "I can't believe it!" "Just like Tony" "Hi!" "Hi!" "Hello, everybody." "Yo, Henrique" "Cleide!" "You know what my grandma told me?" "She was a fan of the Little Great Singer." "She took my mom to see your shows!" "My mom was this tall..." "Oh, it's the girls." "He's here with me." " Tell her why I didn't go." " He was chicken!" "This is the 4th wall, where the bedroom is." " Who's this woman?" " It's Lady Montepico, ma'am." "Forgive me." "The penultimate Lady Montepico." "She was gorgeous!" "No other can hold a candle to her." " Your tea!" " Thank you, Jane." "Gosh, you make strong tea, don't you, Jane?" "When I brew tea, it's tea I brew!" "When I boil water, it's water I boil!" "Couldn't you get both in the same pot, sometimes?" "Very good!" "More rhythm..." " You don't like me." " I don't hate you, ma'am." "Oh, I hope not." "It would be terrible if you hated me and we had to live here, together." "It would be terrible, yes." "But, as I said, I don't hate you!" "You don't hate me, but you don't like me either." "I'm not used to you." "I'll have to get used to you." "Excuse me!" "What is this, mom?" "Please, give me a break." "From the top." "Oh, my God, it's late!" "Can I still hail a cab?" "Oh, come on, Cleide." "I can give you a lift home." "I've always had an interest in men who can drive." "What's my evaluation?" "You're... almost like Ayrton Senna." "Do you drive?" "I used to." "But I don't want to talk about it." "I'm sorry." "It was the crash, wasn't it?" "It was horrible." "Terrible!" "Really terrible!" "What about Tony?" "Does he remember the crash?" "We don't talk about it." "And I shouldn't be talking about it here either." "Then, let's talk about something else." "How about Brecht?" "Good night." "Why did you do that, Cleide?" "I can't watch you watching this movie for the upteenth time." "Cleide, you're behaving so oddly." "Won't you tell me where you're going... every day, all dressed up and cheerful?" "Where have you been, Cleide?" "I haven't been anywhere." "I got a lift back home." "Who gave you the lift?" "A friend of mine, you don't know him." "But the play we're putting on..." "You know it very well." "Actually, you'll love it!" "You're putting on a play?" "Yeah!" "A Brecht play." "The "Three Penny Opera"." "Crazy weather..." "Edgard, my dear." "Oh, you're back!" "Edgar, Edgar!" "Ah, Enid, Enid!" " Edgar?" " Enid?" " Edgar?" " Enid?" "Ah, Edgar!" "Edgar!" "Edgar!" "Oh!" "Enid!" "Enid!" "Enid!" " Edgar?" " Enid!" " Edgar?" " Enid!" " Edgar!" " Enid!" "Edgar!" "Enid!" " Edgar!" " Enid!" " Edgar!" " Enid!" "Get rid of the picture!" "It was good." "Let's do it again, minus the sex, OK?" "No sex, please?" "OK?" "If you don't remember the hit Irma Vep... you're either too young or you have really bad memory." "Whoever didn't see it, will see it now..." "And whoever did see it, will see it again." "What a woman!" "Don't look at me like that!" "Two young and talented actors face the challenge... in the new staging of this great hit... made immortal by two great thespians of our theater." "Darcy Lopes and Tony Albuquerque." "I imagine you're a little afraid, aren't you?" "Yeah, I'm afraid." "I'm worried." "I'm flattered." "I'm happy." "I am anything you say." "I don't think I can answer your question." "Oh, Jane, I think Darcy's so pale..." "Bad make-up..." "a double chin..." "He shouldn't be interviewed like that." "Hold it here..." "Darcy, how do you feel directing the play that made you famous?" "It's like traveling in time to the happiest days of my life." "Now, the US$ 64 thousand question." "Do you expect Tony to be involved in the project?" "That cannot be!" "I wish I could get that old partnership back." "Tony, if you can see me now... you know I'd love to have you here, by my side." "Even if you're amputated... deformed, blind... deaf, dumb, castrated, it doesn't matter." "The public and I, we want to see our... great Tony Albuquerque again." "Cleide!" "I'm sorry, Pedro." "I hope the new staging of Irma Vep is a smash hit." "Why did he say that?" "Haven't you told them..." "I'm just temporarily bound to this wheelchair?" "Temporarily?" "You sold the rights to the play?" "Didn't you see when you signed the payment checks?" "So?" "The authorization was there." "I didn't sign an authorization!" "Any authorization!" "Tony, Tony..." "You're forgetful!" "It's old age..." "You're older than I am!" "But, thank God..." "I have an elephant's memory." "I took after daddy." "You're always running me over, right, Cleide?" "Look, Tony!" "I don't want to hear another word about that crash!" "I pop sedatives by the carton to forget, and you rub it in!" "I didn't say a thing about the crash." "Cleide, Cleide!" "I'm not talking about the crash." "I'm talking about my life, locked up in this bedroom." "I want my life back, Cleide!" "Will there be a play?" "Fine!" " I want to see Darcy!" " He is swamped with rehearsals." "You think he can waste his time visiting cripples?" "I don't want to be left out." "Darcy can't come here?" "I'm going there." "Oh, really?" "Yeah?" "Really?" "You don't say!" " By bus or taking the subway?" " I don't know, but I'm going!" "Cleide!" "Come back here!" "Hello, Elias!" "Cleide Albuquerque." "I'd like place an order..." "Tony must agree?" "Why?" "Very well, I'll call him." "Excuse me, Tony?" "Elias wants to talk to you." "Hi, Elias." "It's Tony, yes." "Yes, I want to place an order." "Four bottles of scotch... three of gin, two acquavit... no, three!" "Oh, and a Steinhagger." "Yes!" "Make it snappy!" "Thank you!" "Likewise." "Lord Edgard is in a big crisis." "He's scared stiff of Irma... but wants to please his new wife." "You have to get laughs out of his fear." "How's it going?" "Get rid of the picture." "I can't do that!" "I can't!" "I can't!" "Why not?" "I can't!" "I can't!" "Hello..." "Do you want a chocolate?" "Thank you." "Oh, let's start anew?" "Forget about the past?" "That's all I want, dear." "Believe me!" " What's your sign?" " Gemini." "Oh, I knew it." "What day?" "June 7th!" "You don't say!" "Next, you'll tell me you were born at 10 A.M." "Can we go on, please?" "The rehearsal!" "Or your one-man show?" "She's a pain..." "Flavia!" "We'll rehearse under those lights!" "Did you call me, dear?" "I'm going mad, Cleide." "I can't stand to see you... everyday at rehearsals, roaming the backstage..." "Taking notes..." "What are you writing down?" "I write down my notes, dear." "They're precious." "And you'll have to listen to me." "It's no good getting irked." "It's in the contract Tony signed." "You'll have to deal with me." "It's all written here, look." "More attention to Leonardo." "Be more attentive to Leonardo." "Be more attentive to Leonardo." "Did you get it?" "Good night, Leonardo." "And thank you for the ride." "One of these days, I'll invite you in for coffee." "When you don't have a date for a drink later." "Oh, God!" "Please..." "How kind." " Thank you." " You're welcome, Cleide." " Good night!" " Good night!" "Gee, you never helped me out of the car before." "Oh, you have it made, huh?" "I mean, she'll make you!" "Shut up, you bastard." "I'm jealous..." "Cleide!" "Cleide!" "What?" "Who's that young man?" "Is he that friend of yours?" "He is you, a thousand years ago." "You think only of him, right?" "You forgot to fix me dinner." " You're on a diet." " Since when?" "Since I've decided to put you on a diet." "And until I "undecide" it." "Slob!" "But I'm hungry, Cleide." "Come back, Cleide!" "I'm hungry!" "Cleide!" "Cleide!" "Come back!" "Cleide!" "Gemini with Scorpio..." "June 7th..." "I'm coming!" "Cripple!" "I didn't mean to scare you." "You shouldn't sneak up on a person like that, ma'am." "I'm sorry, Jane." "The Montepicos are a very old family, aren't they?" "Are they ever!" "They come from the time of... from the time of..." "I don't remember from whom, exactly, but they've been around for centuries." "Oh, this wind..." "That's not the wind." "That's the wolf." "You've had problems with wolves lately, haven't you?" "Wolves, no." "One wolf." "Victor!" "Victor!" "He was Lady Irma's pet." "He was so big the boy rode him like a horse." "He didn't enjoy that kind of horseplay." "He suffered it for the lady, because he was hers." "Lord Edgard told me he had a son, but..." " he died still in childhood." " This is a tragic story, ma'am." " He died of the mumps, right?" " Mumps!" "Who told you that?" "Nobody..." "I assumed it was the mumps." "If Lord Edgard said it was, then it was the mumps." "It's better to say it was the mumps." "Would you stop it, mommy, please?" "And you, Cleide, you're exhausting." "Both of you are!" "Leonardo, Henrique!" "I'm sorry." "Coffee break, OK?" "Easy, Darcy!" "It's almost over." "Lula, take Cleide and Odete out for coffee, please!" " Do you want some coffee?" " No, I'm way too stressed out." "Opening night is coming up." "They're always here!" "Mommy was angry..." ""No sun for you!"" "All I want right now Is a moonlight sunbath!" "I'm moonlight sunbathing" "I'm white as snow" "The moonlight is my friend" "Who can blame me, then?" "It's lovely to dream of you" "Oh, innocent moonlight" "Get all of Henrique's costumes there, and Leonardo's here." "Oh, no, forget about it." "We're going clubbing with the girls." "Don't you chicken out on me." "Let's get back to rehearsals!" " Hi, Darcy!" " Hi, cuties..." "You don't hate me, but you don't like me either!" "I'm not used to you, ma'am." "I'll have to get used to you." "Excuse me." "Don't look at me like that." "I didn't take him away from you." "You know that." "Sooner or later, someone would end up taking your place." "It was I." "I know how you feel, seeing us here, happy, under your nose." "But you can do nothing about it, girl!" "Ah... bad time!" "What is it?" "Are you joking?" "What is that?" "Lula, what is that?" "Lula, what is this?" " I'll kill whoever did that!" " I want a rain check on the club." "Henrique says I always chicken out?" "This time, he's backing out!" "Very funny!" "You'll poison the girls against me!" "Leonardo, get out of here." "Very odd, what happened to Henrique." " It could have been a prank." " A very sick one." "The look he gave you..." "I believe he thinks you did it." "He'd never think that of me." "I am his best friend!" "Henrique envies you." "You outshine him." "That is clear!" "Do you want to know what your zodiac map says?" " Only if it's something good!" " It is something great!" "You were born to do big things, with great social importance." "True revolutions." "My mother always told me that." "You'll be famous, and you'll find true love." "Unexpected love!" " You'll go through life together." " Does it say she's cute?" "The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death." "I have plans for you." "I have some money, and now I know how I want to invest it." "Let's produce the "Three Penny Opera"?" "Are you serious?" "Really serious?" "Are you serious, Cleide?" "We open after Irma Vep, and we tour the country!" "Leonardo!" "Went to the beach, Got a tan got sunburned, got too dark" "Mommy was angry..." ""No sun for you!"" "All I want right now Is a moonlight sunbath!" "I'm moonlight sunbathing" "I'm white as snow" "The moonlight is my friend" "Who can blame me, then?" "It's lovely to dream of you" "Oh, innocent moonlight" "Under a moonlight sunbath" "On a splendorous night" "I feel the power of magic" "The power of love magic" "It's lovely to dream of you" "Oh, innocent moonlight" "It's lovely to dream of you" "Oh, innocent moonlight" "It's lovely to dream of you" "Oh, innocent moonlight" "It's lovely to dream of you" "Oh, innocent moonlight" "It's lovely to dream of you" "Oh, innocent moonlight" "Jesus..." "I don't know what to say." "You did it!" "I'm flabbergasted!" " What was that?" " Nothing!" " You have to go." " Is it Tony?" "Tomorrow, everything will be new." "Please, it's for the best." "Go!" "Go!" "Sweet dreams!" "Stop!" "I want to see you ringing again!" "You'll pay!" "Are you mad?" "You can't stand up on your own." "Tony!" "You're paralyzed!" "I should leave you there, on the floor, forever!" " Who was there?" " It's none of your business." "Maybe it is." "Is that a threat, my dear?" "Maybe it is." "Really?" "My love!" "I'm sorry." "Hello!" "Hi!" "Go ahead, it's me." "What happened?" "I didn't mean to scare you." "You shouldn't sneak up on a person like that." "I'm sorry, Jane." "The Montepicos are a very old family, aren't they?" "Are they ever!" "They come from the time of... from the time of..." "I don't remember from whom, exactly, but they've been around for centuries." "Light is great!" "Stay out of the spotlight." "Full lights now!" "You're on your own." "I need therapy, or... you'll have a crazy director when the curtain opens." "Cleide, take over the rehearsal, please." "Take over the rehearsal?" "Me?" " Yes!" "Come here!" " Oh, sure!" "Anything special you want me to do?" "Be more attentive to Leonardo, isn't it?" "Well, boys, let's get started!" "Easy, Lobo." "It's just me." "Tony!" "Tony!" "Where are you, Tony, for Heaven's sake?" "!" "Darcy!" " Darcy!" " Tony!" "Darcy." " Tony!" " Darcy." " Darcy." " Tony!" " Tony!" " Darcy." " Darcy." " Ô, Tony." "Darcy, get me out of here!" "Enid, darling, not in front of..." "Not in front of whom?" "There's nobody looking." "Unless you mean... her." "She looks somewhat sinister." " Enid, she's dead." " Maybe that's the reason." "Just a second..." "A second, please..." "Darcy does his best, poor thing... but there's a lot of stuff we must change before opening." "You're getting better every day." "The audience will never stray from you." "I'll give you a few tips." "Come with me." "I'm so hungry!" "This is delicious." "You brought all this from home?" "I brought the ax from the theater." "Everything else, I got from the fridge." "I've been fed sandwiches for a month." "Is it like that since the crash?" "It's not her fault." "It's my fault." "I caused the accident myself." "He will be temporarily incapable of walking." "He will be temporarily incapable of walking." "He will be temporarily incapable of walking." "A double fracture, with a ruptured hip." "But it could be reversible." "It depends on him." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "And all these years..." "I made Cleide believe she ran me over." "It sounds like a horror movie." "I took it all from a Bette Davis movie." "Forget it!" "The important thing is..." "I'm taking you to our play's opening." "I'm so thrilled." "This is beautiful, my God!" "Goodness gracious, eleven years on stage." "I saw it, Mrs. Odete." "I was this big..." "Look at the wolf!" "That beast meant I could buy myself a freezer." "Mrs. Odete, is Darcy home?" "I don't know." "Isn't he coming here?" " Don't you have the playbill?" " I'll pass it around in a bit." "Stop it!" "You're driving people crazy!" "Mrs. Odete, Mrs. Odete!" "Come in!" "Sorry, I thought it was my take-out sandwich." "I came to toast with you." "To wish you "suerte"." "I can't drink much before a show." "I'm already too nervous." "I have something to tell you." "I'm in love with you." "The thing is..." "We have a beautiful path we must follow together." "Cleide, you know..." "Age difference doesn't matter when there's a meeting of souls." "That's not the problem." "What is it, then?" "I thought you were alone." "I didn't mean to interrupt." "Henrique, I've decided to tell Cleide the truth." "What truth?" "About the two of us." "Cleide!" "Henrique and I..." "The two of us..." "we... we were..." "And, then..." "we are... you know?" "It happened..." "There, I've said it." "Since you've said it, I'll talk to you later, OK?" "I told you she'd make you." "Finish your meal." "Where's my kiss?" "Thanks!" "I'll make it up to you later." "Let me ask you for a favor." "Don't tell anybody." "It will be our little secret, OK?" "Yeah..." "It will be our secret!" "Does anybody copy?" "Solange!" "For the love of God!" "Does anybody copy?" "Carina, lights!" "Lights!" "Cleide, you're gorgeous." "I'm so thrilled with this opening night!" "Wait a minute." "What do you want?" "Green tea?" " Green tea." " There." " For you, too, dear?" " A bottled water." "Have green tea, dear." "You'll have your water later." " My son was a showstopper!" " I remember." "It's a pity it isn't him on stage." "A talented kid has replaced him... but he reminds me of my late husband." "With his big eyes!" "Let's seat here." "I'm nervous, Mrs. Maria!" "Otávio!" "Tony!" "You're here!" "What a surprise!" "Darcy, I'm glad you came, right?" "You almost drove me crazy." "Otávio!" "Excuse me!" "Tony!" "Tony, a photo please!" "Thank you." "Just more one." "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Are you sure they're not really dead?" "Of course I'm sure." "They're sedated, Darcy!" "Lula!" "Help!" "There's nobody left." "Not a stage manager..." "They're all passed out." "Even Leonardo, in his dressing room." " Call the paramedics!" " Cleide!" "Our little secret..." " Can you see?" " She did it!" "Now, what are we going to do?" "What about the play?" "What about the audience?" "Where are the paramedics?" "I want a proper heart attack!" "Darcy, come with me!" "This is totally nuts!" "Doctors said I'd be temporarily confined to this wheelchair." "My time has arrived!" " You won't make it!" " Our clothes are at the exhibit." " You remember lines and marks?" " Yes, I do!" " Your legs won't remember them." " They will!" "I'm at Montepicos Castle!" "I've always walked right here." "Help me, for it's now or never." "Come on!" "Do it!" "Come on, Darcy, help me." "That's it!" "That's it!" "Push!" "Push!" "Go!" "Tony, you're walking?" "You can walk?" "Lula!" "Darcy is insane!" "He wants the paralyzed Tony on stage!" "Man, that will get us a headline!" "Carina, we're ready to start, OK?" "You're not going ahead with this madness!" "Too late." "He's my son!" "My son!" "Watch your step." "There's water everywhere." "You'll get mud all around!" "He'll be temporarily incapable of walking." "He'll be temporarily incapable of walking." "Temporarily..." "Temporarily!" "Temporarily!" "Temporarily!" "What a nightmare!" "What a nightmare!" "Tony, is everything all right?" "Let's go on." "I'll make it!" "Stand up!" "Don't stomp this wooden leg!" "You'll wake Lady Enid up!" "I was crippled saving Lord Edgard from the wolf." "She should thank God when she hears my wooden leg... after what I've done for him." "He needs us now more than ever." "He has accepted it, and you'll have to accept it, too." "You don't have to be scared." "Nicodemo is here to protect you." " Do you want to go on?" " Of course I do!" "Keep your hands to yourself." "You stink!" "You smell bad!" "You stink!" "You'd smell of horses, too, if you slept in the stables." "It's raining heavily, Lady Enid." "There's very little out there you could consider a sun." "Light up the fireplace." "I'll be down in a jiffy." "Home, home, home!" "It is crazy to care for a home." "Can I make you a good cup of tea, ma'am?" "Jane, you brew strong tea, huh?" "I either brew tea, or I boil water." "Could you mix them both together in the same pot, Jane?" "How do I look?" "Beautiful." "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful." "Lord Edgard will be more romantic than ever." "This is his favorite dress." " Are you sure he likes it?" " I'm positive." "He'd even put it on, on occasion." "On happier days, when he was younger." "Excuse me, ma'am." "A man who dresses up as a woman can't be all bad." "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "My God!" "Is there anybody there?" "Turn the statuette around!" "Turn the statuette around!" "The head, you moron!" "Who are you?" " What are you doing there?" " Let me out!" " They torture me!" " Who tortures you?" " Edgard." "Edgard tortures me." " But who are you?" "Irma Vep!" "The first Lady Montepico!" " I thought you were dead." " They want you to think that." "They want everybody to think that!" " Help me..." " Of course, my dear." "I want to help you, but this cage is locked up." "Jane has the key." "Steal the key from Jane." "Don't tell anybody you've seen me." "Not even Jane." "Not even Nicodemo." "Not even Lord Edgard." "Somebody is coming." "Turn the statuette around." " Remember me!" " I'll remember you." "Of course, I will..." "Oh, God!" "It's stuck!" "It's stuck!" "Enid?" " This dress..." " Do you like it?" "I hate it!" "I hate this dress!" "Take it off!" "Take it off!" " Why, Edgard?" "Why?" " It was her dress." " Her dress?" " Irma's!" "Jane never told me that!" "Jane had you put the dress on?" "She knows I can't see the dress Irma died in!" " Dead?" "Irma isn't dead!" " What do you mean?" "She didn't die wearing this dress." "My dress!" "You brute!" "How low have we stooped!" "How low has our love stooped!" "Love!" "Turn the head..." "I know now!" " Do you have the key?" " I have it, it's here." " Then, open it." " Just a second, dear." " There are lots of keys here." " It's the long one." "Just a second, dear." "There are many long keys here." "It's the long one." "They're all long." "It's hard to find it." "Ok, my dear." "Ok, my dear." "You three times idiot!" "Can't you see Irma Vep is an anagram for "vampire"?" " Jane, is that you?" " It is I." "I killed both the boy and Irma." "I'll kill every woman in my way." "You bitch!" "You murderess!" "Forget it, you murderess!" "Help!" "Help!" "Edgard!" "Nicodemo!" "Anybody!" "Help!" "Enid?" "Edgard, what a fright!" "This wasn't funny!" "She's in the sarcophagus, Edgard." "Can you hear her?" "I can't hear anything." "Edgard, dear, I know everything." "Jane killed Irma and the boy!" "Irma Vep is an anagram for "vampire"!" "Ignoramus!" "Nonsense!" " What are you doing?" " I'll open the sarcophagus." " Don't open it!" " I'll open it!" "Don't open it!" "Don't open the sarcophagus!" "Look, dear." "It's totally empty." "Amazing!" "Am I losing my mind?" "I saw her with my own eyes." "However, the sarcophagus is totally empty." "You just wait!" "Nicodemo, did I kill you?" "Did I really?" "Thank you, boss." "Bury him in the meadows he loved so much." "Shall his soul rise to heaven, since it has escaped this Hell." "Oh, Edgard!" "Edgard!" " Enid!" "Enid!" " Edgard!" " Ô Edgar!" "Edgar!" "Edgar!" " Enid!" "Enid!" "Enid!" " Ô Edgar!" " Enid!" "Edgar!" "Enid, me dear!" "I love you!" "Wonderful!" "It was unbelievable!" "It was theater." "It was theater." "Theater is the joy we witnessed on that night, on that stage." "And grave 32 was buried forever in my memories." "Bravo!" "I liked it immensely." "You saw the play about three times, right?" "Hi, dear!" "Went to the beach, Got a tan got sunburned, got too dark" "Mommy was angry..." ""No sun for you!"" "All I want right now..." "All together now!" "Is a moonlight sunbath!" "I'm moonlight sunbathing" "I'm totally snow white..." "Everybody singing!" "Cleide!" "Tony!" "You're walking, Tony!" "Nothing happened?" "Everything happened, Cleide." "But not the way you thought it had happened." "No, it didn't happen." "It was a nightmare, but it's over." "Thank God, I woke up." "I ran you over that night, Cleide." "Don't say another word, Tony." "And I thought I'd end up in grave 32," "I ended up right here, a year later, alive and kicking." "And, amazingly, debt free." "Thank God, everybody else's lives went right back to normal." "The perfect fit, my dear... is this one." "Let's try it?" "Open your mouth, dear." "Come on, open your mouth, dear." "Just a little bit." "Open your mouth, don't be lazy." "Oh, what a pity." "About Henrique and Leonardo?" "They're out of the show, but into the girls." "And me..." "I'll get married next week." "One, two, three, and..." "Break a leg!" "Keep your hands to yourself." "You smell bad!" "You stink!" "You'd smell of horses, too, if you slept in the stables." "One day, you'll be under me." "And you'll be forever under me." "One day, you'll want to be under me..." "I hear footsteps!" "I hear footsteps!" "I hear footsteps!" "Stop it, Darcy!" " Go away!" "Beat it!" " Oh, God..." "Even in the movie, you get this bit wrong."
