"And I 've been at the City Park here." "We were renovating it." "And what do you promise?" "I don 't promise anything." "This is a good one." "I promise nothing." "He 's almost like Lula." "But I have done many things." "I 'm leaving this with you." "On the back you can read part of what I've done." "Maybe I'll vote for you, because you 're not making promises." "I like people who don 't make promises." "Thank you." "I don 't like bullshit." "Rest assured that we will fight for what is right." "You'll see if it was worth it and when I'm a candidate again... you'll say, "This man did his job or he didn 't"." "Can you do something about those holes?" "People have died." "Well, almost died." "Nobody died so far." "I hope no one dies." "So do I." "Give me a hug, c 'mon." "You 're a good man." "You 're the good sort." "Don 't fasten it, just lean it against the pole... just lean it there."

"The girls that have a gift for modeling will have a place on astage, like an amphitheater." "And we'll organize festivals, call the press, the media..." "How are you going to do that?" "I 'm doing it in the poor communities." "Because we have to heal the wound from the inside out, not from the outside in." "Get it?" "From inside to outside." "But those who are outside can come in." "You have to have avoice." "There 's only one way." "Politics." "Making laws." "You 're at the station?" "You 'll have to send someone there to hold the sign, tie it down." "It fell down with the wind and fell on peoples' heads." "Go there now." "That's fine." "We can only provide services after October 5th." "We 're different from other politicians." "Because of the... electoral law... we can 't meet requests for social services." "STATE representative We can 't do social work..." "ANDRÉ LUlZ'S MOTHER because of TRE, right?" "More signs will arrive today." "We don't have a lot of signs." "We'll start putting them on the streets." "What areas will you do?" "Guaratiba?" "Jardim Maravilha?" "And all the mayors...?" "Can we go see your house?" "Yes, sure." "Let 's see your house." "All the mayors make promises and they never do anything." "What 's your name?" "Viviane." "Viviane, but what you really need is some construction work." "You need some work done, because of the river." "Hey, Grandma, how are you?" "This is my grandmother."

"You betrayed us." "People envy you, you're really going to win." "The other guys are being paid." "What 's up, man?" "He 's my uncle." "You don 't say." "He 's my uncle." "I 'll get out on Copacabana Ave." "Do you think you 'll win?" "I don 't know." "You don 't?" "No, I 'm a little..." "Didn 't you do a poll?" "My name was mentioned." "That 's good." "I like you."

"You want candidates committed to health and education." "That eliminates a lot of people." "The basics, right?" "Yes, sure." "You 're well informed, because most people... don 't know that." "They don 't see as clearly." "The more ignorant the people are, the better for politicians." "For the bad politicians." "The less education, more the bad politicians rise."

"Well rested, just fine." "This is my fourth change of clothes today." "It 's a little tight, isn't it?" "A different cut..." "But on Sunday..." "We know that Rio has serious problems... that affect the life of the city." "These problems motivated this group... to put forward a candidate for City Council." "Maybe because I'm the one who is a bit fatter... nicest, most viable in an election." "We 've just got news that we 're... among the 5O most mentioned candidates in a poll." "We 'll still need more votes until Sunday at five o'clock when the polling stations close, and I 'm sure... we'll be elected to the City Council."

"And at Catholic University there are no more than 2O people... you understand how tough this campaign has been." "And Rio that set the trend for this country... today is a pale and sad reflection what it once was." "It 's a pale and sad reflection of political debate." "That's why those who will be elected on Sunday... supported by political machines... refuse to debate... don 't show up... sometimes at their own university." "Campaigns are like that." "I 've already lost a car, a suit... shoes... my voice... my concentration, my health... my patience." "Do you know how you 'll feel when you wake up on Monday?" "Boy, I don 't even know how I 'll go to bed." "I know how I 'll wake up."

"Then we can plan for a party, but we have to win first." "Victory is only victory when it is decreed and declared." ""lt 's victory, you won." Maybe at 9 PM, 1O, 11." "When the vote counting finishes and we hear," ""André Luiz Filho was elected", then it 's victory... but for the time being I can 't say that I won." "I'm asking you to fight to the last minute... until the polls close, asking for votes." "Listen, when you work for a candidate... of course you are thinking about your making a living." "But when you work for someone like André Luiz Filho... who does excellent work in this part of town... and has proposals to change everything... whose parents who have worked here for over 2O years... not only during election campaigns..." "I deserve your affection." "And can ask you to work not thinking only about 2O, 3O, 4O or 5O reais, whatever... but working out of love and for the victory we 'll celebrate." "Starting Sunday, we 'll be celebrating together." "Let's vote!" "Let's vote!" "Hello, auntie." "Hi." "Do have a candidate?" "No, I don 't." "OK, then, where 's my pamphlet?" "Do you have it?"

"We went to Bangu." "Really?" "Who did you film?" "André Luiz Filho." "And how was his day?" "Everything under control, right?" "Air-conditioning, a good snack right on time..." "Hey, Carlinho, how are things?" "Everything 's fine." "OK, I 'm going to produce the beat." "When I come on... my entry will be like suspense." "Suspense in the movies." "All right?" "I 'm going to be a part of it." "You write the music?" "Sure." "And when Mc Geléia enters there 's going to be..." "Sure, sure." "I want to get my friends together, those who took part... in this campaign so they will represent the rap family." "I will get them all... and we will record it all on a CD." "Or maybe I should say something." "Or can we do it according to our own inspiration?" "You see?" "Vocation for power." "Vocationfor power" "That's politics" "The audience will be thrilled."
