Aquarius Page #6

loves Pedro.

You sent her away;

now you don't have a nanny?

I've got my eye on someone else; have had

for a while now; it'll be better for everybody.

Mom, i'm, i'm really

in a hurry

Honey, did you talk

to Armando about this?

Mom, Armando is not part of

Pedro's daily life. He doesn't know

Heck, he probably won't even notice

the nanny changed, you know?

Mom, here you've got diapers, you've

got his food, his book, everything.

Just hand it over

to Ladjane, okay?

Cover this one for me, OK?

Call me if you need me!

Of course, i'll call,

but what's the point? Bye.

Where's the ocean, Pedro?

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

I'm the big bad wolf, the big

bad wolf, the big bad wolf.

Three little pigs

No, right?

Walls come crumbling down no.

Lookie here!

Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood Pedro,

the wolf devours grandma.

Edilene went to the market. When she

gets back, i'll have her give it to me.

I can't do that stuff.

Yes.

But when she gets back,

I'll have her do it.

Right, now you

Sorry, lady!

Hey, mister, what gives?

You trying to kill me?

Make way for the baby carriage

to come through Good morningl

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

God is beautiful!

He is marvelous to us.

God is soverein.

What is going on?

Excuse me.

I don't know what to say.

Did you see what it's like

in the garage? Come see!

Ms. Clara?

Ms. Clara.

There's something

i wanted to tell you.

It may be nothing,

but l don't think so.

Yesterday, after you left

to take Pedro for his walk,

Yesterday?

If it happened yesterday,

why are you only telling me now?

The matresses were disgusting.

When i got there the matresses

were still half burned.

Please tell me what this is.

-Are you insane?

-Stay out of it.

How can you do this

in the middle of Boa Viagem?

How are you, Clara?

Fine, Diego.

Fixin' to get better.

What happened?

Diego, did you have some

mattresses burned out here in the yard?

In the middle of Boa Viagem?

No, i didn't.

What, that over there?

They burnt em. I saw itl

I don't know anything about that

The remains, over there?

Look, i'll find out

who did this and chem them out.

You're absolutely right.

This is not right.

You know there was a party

here in the building

And the mattresses must

have gotten really dirty.

I know about the party, but i was not

aware of any dirty mattresses

Oh yes, there were

dirty mattresses.

There was even

sh*t on the stairs.

Why are you laughing?

Didn't you have the stairs washed?

The sh*t on the stairs? i admit.

i didn't know about sh*t on the stairs.

No, but it's OK,

I'm not judging.

That's not why i'm here talking to you.

Here's the thing:

You have so many apartments

in this building, right?

You could have had a party

in any one of your apartments.

But no, you had to throw a party

exactly in apartment 8,

which is right above mine,

and didn't even let me know.

I'm sorry, you're right,

that's my

I had a lot on my mind,

I wound up forgetting.

I promise you that any parties

I throw or allow here in the building,

from now on, I'll let you know

beforehand. I'm sorry.

Now, Clara, l see you're

painting the faade

without discussing that

with the construction company?

We're also part of the condominium.

I think we can improve

our communication skills.

Diego, you play that

passive-aggressive type.

What's that?

Passive-aggressive.

No, Clara, I play the focused type.

The determined type.

lt's that you don't know me.

I just got back from the US.

I graduated there;

I studied business for three years,

and now i'm back, ready to fight.

This is under my responsibility

and i'm going to do whatever

it takes to reach my goal.

That visit we paid to your house,

that was very social, wasn't it?

You know, ''let's get close to Clara,

let's make contact.''

And that didn't happen.

Because, you know, you didn't

let us in; we were in the hall.

Nobody offered us coffee,

water, tea...

I wish i had given you a more

realistic take about all this.

This building's empty, Clara.

No.

The building's not empty;

I'm here, i live here.

-It's not empty.

Yes, but the building's empty.

The building's empty and i,

everyone at the company is worried

about someone, pardon me,

your age.

I wouldn't leave my grandmother,

my mother live alone here.

In Brazil.

Where do your mother

and grandmother live?

They live in the kind of place

where you should live.

-They've got infrastructure, support.

Look, i'm not...

even going to say

what i'm thinking,

because that leads me to wonder

where does your mother live?

You'll excuse me.

I'm a polite person, but

you really get my goat.

Right. I don't think living here

is sustainable any longer.

I just think an educated person like

yourself needs to be in a safe building.

With cameras around the clock,

with quality, with security.

This isn't working

any more, Clara.

I confess l walk in here, I don't

even see this building any more.

All i can think of is the number of

bricklayers, workers, family members

who call me everyday to ask if Ms.

Clara has finally made the right decision

so they can all make it to the end of

the month a little better off, that's all.

Has it crossed your mind that

this project of yours, the new Aquarius,

will only see the light of day

when you're 50, 60 years old?

That's possible. Maybe.

-Now there's people that don't think like that.

Oh yeah?

Yeah, your kids

Don't you talk about my kids!

Any of them!

Shut your mouth!

Do not talk about my kids!

I'm gonna tell you something.

I'm standing here wasting

my time talking to you,

but i'm thinking of

something, you know?

It's impressive, what people

say about the lack of education

and they always refer to poor people.

But the lack of manners

isn't in poor people.

It's in rich, well educated

people like you, you know?

The elite, who think they're elite,

who think they're privileged,

who don't stand in line,

you know?

People like you

who took a ''business'' course,

but lack basic human decency.

Who have no character, you know?

No character.

No i mean, you do have character;

your character is money.

Therefore, honey,

you have no character.

All you've got is your sh*t-eating smile;

that's what you've got.

I'm gonna tell you something.

I've told you once;

I'll tell you again.

I am not kidding.

I will only leave here dead!

You don't know me, Clara.

But you're right, I would rather

listen and respect you

because from where i'm looking,

I can tell you come from a family

that fought hard to get to where they did.

Right, Clara?

A darker-skinned family,

right?

That had to sweat a lot

to get what they got.

I respect you.

You'll excuse me, sir.

But you cannot treat her this way.

-Good that you came.

-I'm here,

-Long time no see.

-That was a great cinema.

Look.

Have you seen this?

It finally came out.

Right here.

I love MP3'.

You must have said that.

Bad title, horrible photo.
