Casa Grande Page #2

Synopsis: Seventeen year old Caucasian high school senior Jean Cavalcanti, who attends a well regarded private boys' school, lives a relatively carefree life of moderate privilege in a security monitored and locked and gated big, custom built house in an affluent neighborhood in suburban Rio de Janeiro with his parents, Hugo and Sônia, fourteen year old sister Nathalie, and a houseful of servants including live-in maid Rita, black evangelical cook Noemia, and chauffeur Severino. Hugo and Sônia are too preoccupied with maintaining their upper middle class lifestyle to do much direct parenting with the exception of ensuring that Jean and Nat play their proper roles to the outside world, such as making sure that Jean gets into a good post-secondary program, something that Jean places little real effort. Not doing well on the college entrance exams may be a problem as the government has just implemented a quota system to balance the inherent disadvantages faced by non-Caucasians. Because of his pare

You know you will pass,

because you are here...

along with your colleagues.

Sew...

How do I move past the kiss?

I know how to approach girls...

but how do I get her home?

You know what I mean.

I'll bring you to the whorehouse.

I've been already,

but now it's a matter of honor.

I want to win a girl over.

Easy, I'll bring you to the forr dance.

No way. Do I look like the forr type?

Prejudiced against forr?

Not prejudiced, it's just not my style.

I'm trying to hook you up.

If what you want is to find a girl,

I'll bring you to the forr.

You will score there. Start dancing

with a girl, hug her tight...

Start pecking at her neck, her ears...

Then she'll notice something stirring

in your pants and it's a home run.

But you have to go full on.

Otherwise you may get smacked.

Because women like men.

Any questions?

I'm off.

- Where to?

- Fosfobox.

- Isn't that a gay club?

- I don't know.

- Yes, it is.

- It's not gay anymore, it used to be.

Who with?

Nelson's father is picking me up.

- I didn't know you two were friends.

- He's the only one from the West Side.

Who else is going?

Catul, Roberto and Mendes.

- I don't like Mendes.

- He's super hot.

What time will you be back?

Don't know. Three?

I'll pick you up at one.

You don't need to, I can take a cab.

From Copacabana to the West Side?

Are you rich or something?

Fine, so I'll take the bus.

- You're totally nuts.

- There are hardly any buses then.

Please. I'll leave at one

and take the bus.

Why does he want

to take the bus so badly?

No one else does.

No idea, ask him.

Why do you want to take the bus?

Why can't I take the bus

like everyone else?

Because we live in Rio de Janeiro.

It's too dangerous at this hour.

- No, Jean.

- One o'clock.

One thirty?

One thirty, mom?

One thirty, Hugo.

One thirty.

Thank you.

- I'm gonna find my girlfriend.

- Sure thing.

- Where do you go to school?

- St. Ignatius'.

I go to St. Benedict's.

Let me go get a drink.

- What's your name?

- What?

- What's your name?

- Ana.

I'm Jean.

Good eve, pal.

Could you just free up this spot?

No.

Bro, this is our joint.

First of all, I ain't your brother.

Where does it say I can't park here?

Hey boss, this is our spot,

we work here.

Is there a sign saying

I can't park here?

We've been here for over 10 years, sir.

- What's up, dad?

- Nothing.

These f***ers think I can't park here.

Please show some respect.

We work here.

Doesn't matter. There's no sign,

so I'll stay here as long as I want.

Hey pal, don't have a heart attack!

What? Are you talking to me?

- Easy there, cool it.

- Don't touch me. I'm calling the cops.

- The police will see this through.

- No, clad, let's go.

I'm calling the police,

I know what the law says.

Just get in. Can we leave, please?

That's all I needed.

- Hey sir.

- What's up? Don't come close!

Easy there, sir.

I'm in charge here, and you are right.

I've already told that guy off myself,

no need to call anyone.

Cool? Bless you.

- Get the car out of the way.

- What a joke.

Get to it.

They think they own the streets.

You have to be careful.

They have to be careful.

F*** off.

Move it now!

- How is your father, Nelson?

- Fine.

I saw him at the steak house last week.

Dad...

The credit card didn't go through.

I had to borrow from Mendes.

$78 Rams.

$78 Reins'?

What are you drinking, champagne?

I left my wallet at home.

Don't worry. You can pay me back later.

So how was it?

Did you hook up with anyone?

Well, I couldn't.

When things picked up, I had to leave.

Excuses, Jean.

How about you, Mendes? No one?

- No, it was weak.

- Liar. Yes, he did.

No, I didn't.

The big scorer tonight was Catul.

She was so ugly.

You are ugly, she was horrible!

You're just saying that

because she's black.

I like them.

But it's a taste you will acquire

with age, experience...

- Dad!

'What?

You're married.

I'm married but not dead.

Way to go!

You can pull over there, that's good.

- Does that work?

- Yes, great.

Thanks for the ride. Good night.

Bye, Jean.

Good night to you as well.

- Bye.

- Thanks, Hugo.

- Aren't you coming with us?

- I'm sleeping at Mendes'.

- Tell your dad I said hello.

- I will.

Bye.

I've talked to your mom...

and starting Monday,

you'll take the bus to school.

And Severino?

Severino is taking a vacation.

Where to?

He's going back to the Northeast.

To see his son.

Good morning.

There's a two-week credit

on this bus card.

Know where you're getting off?

- Where?

- At the Candelaria church.

No. The church is your reference point.

You pull the string there,

but you get off at Vargas Avenue.

There's a push button, now.

Is there?

So sit in front of the button

and press it when it's time.

- Eat slowly.

- Did you charge your cell phone?

- Good morning, Nat.

- I did.

Yesterday or today?

The day before yesterday.

Who's dropping me off at school?

Another $10 to keep in your pocket,

in case of mugging.

- So?

- That's the robber's money.

Just hand it off, no arguing.

- Who's bringing me to school?

- I am.

Pass me the bread?

- Does your arm hurt?

- No.

Noemia. Bring me some coffee, dear?

Rita will.

Butter?

How about a knife?

We're missing knives

for butter, cheese...

A knife please, dear?

Sweetener... What happened?

This is a serum for eyebrows.

You can use it on brows and lashes

and it strengthens growth.

A miracle worker!

Vanda, sorry,

but I can't keep anything today.

I've found you a bit odd today,

from the start.

Unlike yourself. What happened?

I want to ask you something,

but I'm a bit embarrassed.

No need, we're such good friends.

Can you pay your bills

with these sales?

Of course.

Do you think I could?

I can hardly believe this.

Do you want to work with me

as a consultant?

So Catul:
Federal or Catholic University?

Federal. I'll only go to the Catholic

if I get a scholarship.

The Catholic is far better in Economics.

The brains behind the currency reform

all came from there.

Tell your dad to pay my tuition then.

Who did it?

- Who did it?

- He's a badass.

Ultimate soccer!

Take a seat.

Thanks.

- Let me hold your bag.

- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Did you see his shirt?

Yes.

What's your name?

Luiza.

I'm Jean. My pleasure.

- French?

- Yes, my mom's thing.

I'm Roberto.

My pleasure.

You both go to Saint Benedict's?

Looks that way, right?

You're at Pedro ll?

Yes.

What is it like

not having girls around?

Every man for himself, right?

I think this is your stop, Roberto.

Much obliged.

Sit down.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

What happened there?

This?

This is ketchup.

- Are you a senior?

- Yes...

- Three little stars.

- That's cool.

Do you like your school?

Yes, I love my school.

- You'll miss it then.

- So much.

- Will you miss St. Benedict's?

- Yes.

I can imagine.

What will you try out for

in the entrance exam?

Engineering. You?

Communications at the Federal,

Law at the State University...

and not sure what at the Catholic.
