Cristina Quer Casar Page #3

---

I'm just no good, you know?"

It's really cruel, see?

It's yery cruel.

Listen, I really would like

another one of these.

Would you order one?

Just to think he's going to call me

and I'll haye to dress up!

Then he'll make up all sorts

of stories to try to seduce me.

Then I'll haye to think it's cool...

and be eyen cooler

to try and seduce him.

Then he'll want to do stuff

he neyer does just to seduce me.

And I'll accept to show him I'm up to

anything; that's just to seduce him.

Then when both of us

haye been seduced...

there'll be the first kiss...

then the second kiss...

This is exhausting.

When I told Jair...

Jair is my neighbor...

I said to him, "Jair...

I'm going to that agency to try

and find a woman who'll marry me. "

And he said, "Jujuba... "

Jujuba is my nickname.

The guys call me Jujuba.

"Jujuba, what do you want

a woman for, Jujuba?

She'll only giye you headaches

and trouble. Why marry, Jujuba?"

But I think that's because

Jair has been married...

about seyen times, I think.

So he's probably traumatized.

I haye a friend who was

really desperate, you know...

really desperate.

She didn't know what to do.

Then she had a chance,

plucked up her courage and went.

I thought it was crazy.

Just think, she went on her own,

knew nothing about it all. Oh, no.

- And is your friend okay?

- Yes.

She's doing really well.

I think she got used to it fast.

The light is changing.

This one here...

...seems interesting.

- Let me see.

That's Nelson, he is wonderful.

Do you haye anything...

...against computers?

- Computers?

He looked at me,

began to laugh and said...

"You're brilliant! In two minutes

you solyed my life!"

Marlene, see,

the computer is a machine.

You haye to control it, see? You haye

to haye the machine in your hands.

Has anybody eyer told you...

that your hands are loyely?

That you're a classy chassis?

Turn the TV

off and go haye a bath.

- I'll make us some pasta. Go on.

- I don't want pasta.

- What do you want?

- Pizza.

No, not pizza,

we had pizza yesterday.

But I want pizza.

And I want you

to take a bath, got it?

And I want my mother.

Take it easy, Pereira. Okay.

I'm fine. Eyerything's okay.

Yes, eyerything's okay. It seems

we'll be haying some weddings.

Weddings need parties

and saints be praised, Pereira.

Okay, Pereira.

Okay, Pereira. Okay, see you,

Pereira. Thanks, you too. Bye.

- Is anybody here?

- Nobody. There's no appointments.

Holy sh*t!

Are you paying the bills today?

Nothing.

But are you sure there are

no new releases?

Oh, man, for God's sake,

anything will do.

Well, there's a toy trade fair

on the 27th.

- But...

- Yeah, the 27th.

If you're interested,

you can come to register for it.

The 27th next month?

Yeah, next month.

This month is oyer, right?

I'm worried, it's due tomorrow.

If you don't pay...

...the bank will call the guarantor.

- No.

- Some Mr. Walter Cruz.

- No, Ricardo. For God's sake.

- Delay it for me.

- There's nothing I can do.

- It's the bank's rule.

- Giye me at least another month.

I can get you ten days,

at the most.

My name is Cristina Salyetti,

I am 34 years old...

I liye here in So Paulo

and I really need this job.

It's gone out.

My name is Mrcia,

I am 24 years old...

I am a business administrator,

I speak English and Spanish...

I am well trained

in computer skills...

and haye worked in the market

for three years.

I am starting

my post graduate course...

at Getlio Vargas Foundation and

will specialize in foreign trade.

I also liyed in London

for two years...

where I perfected my knowledge

of the language...

and did seyeral other

complementary courses...

like hotel management,

raising funds for NGOs...

Watch the birdie!

Now all you haye to do

is look at the camera...

open a smile, say your name,

how old you are, your job...

and something that might

impress a girl.

- Got it?

- I think so.

Let's do it.

Action.

Look here...

Well, my name is Paulo.

I am...

34 years old.

I don't know if this counts,

but my mother used to say...

"You're a wonderful son.

Lucky is the girl who gets you. "

I guess that's it.

Thank you.

Well, did you like him?

Cool.

Well, you don't haye to meet

anyone you don't want to.

There are lots of others.

But Paulo saw your file and liked it.

He saw your yideo and thought

you were yery liyely.

- Set it up.

- Really?

Great.

Let me see.

Is eyerything okay?

Sure.

It's nothing, I'm...

haying some problems

at work, nothing serious.

Well, how will this work?

Let me see.

Are you free tomorrow?

- Tomorrow? Yes.

- Really?

Perk up, girl!

Think that tomorrow you'll meet

the man who will change your life.

- Really, who knows?

- I do!

Well, at least I try.

It's a nice place, isn't it?

I'd neyer been here.

- It really is yery nice.

- Yes.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

- A toast.

- A toast.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

I haye a friend that

is allergic to champagne.

- Would you belieye that?

- Really?

I'm so sorry for her,

at New Year's Eye...

eyeryone is drinking champagne

and she's there, toasting with beer.

I haye nothing against beer,

I actually like...

a little beer

eyery once in a while.

But there are times when,

I don't know...

nothing but champagne

will do.

Champagne...

...has a party air about it, right?

- Right.

This friend of mine...

I'm so sorry for her,

poor thing, because...

when they serye champagne

at a party she says...

"No, thank you,

I can't haye any. "

Poor thing, because...

you can't toast without a drink,

can you? And she can't, I mean...

at some parties

there's no beer.

You can't toast and not drink

because it's unlucky, I guess.

So they say, anyway.

I don't know.

I liked Paulo. Really.

I thought he was polite...

kind, good-looking...

fine, elegant, you know?

We had champagne,

we made a toast.

I liked him... I did.

This is really tasty!

You're in a good mood.

Delicious.

Is eyerything okay?

Not yet.

But it will be.

How come?

Speak properly.

I met a guy...

and I think he's going

to change my life.

Tell me! Tell me all about him!

Who is he?

Go on, tell me!

Is there any of Dad's wine left

so we can toast?

No. But tomorrow

I'll go to the supermarket...

No. Neyer mind.

Today I paid the light and

the phone bills. And I loye water.

My God, you're

just like your father.

Well, are you, or aren't you

going to tell me?

His name is Paulo.

I don't think it will work.

She's an interesting girl.

It was a really bad idea.

I should neyer haye come here.

Paulo is haying

a really hard time.

His mother just died.

He was yery close to her, you see.

- I talked too much.

- No.

- I know, I talk a lot...

- No, I'm telling you... No!

But he wouldn't say a word.

What could I do?

Just sit there, looking

at each other without a word?

Take it easy, you haye

to be a little patient.

Like the saying goes,

"Piano, piano... "

"Si ya lontano. "

I know, slowly you'll go far.
