against the national security...

also other measures

that are necessary.

The piece is ready.

Let's go sleep, Luis.

No, i promised

You are crazy...

To promise something like this?

I am leaving.

Lula!

Lula... what happened?

What happened?

Luis, Luis...

What is it, my son?

What is with the hand?

Sorrounded by the wave of

mass demissions...

the ABC workers are marked by

bad news in the media...

about from two to three months

of unemployment per year.

Attention, people!

There are no vacancies for this function.

All the places are occupied,

there are no vacancies.

Everything is full, finished.

-Hi, mom.

-Hi, son.

Take. Take it, my son.

Come on eat, eat my sweetheart, eat.

My son, the worst is behind now.

Now raise your head,

and look forward and persist.

It is all about persisting.

Welcome.

Excuse me... and thank you.

And when... when do I start?

Start on Monday.

How beautiful is Lurdes!

I can't stop

looking at her.

This never happened with me before,

i don't know what got into me!

If you don't know, i will tell you:

it's called love!

-No, it's nothing like this...

-Love! It's obvious it is!

I can see little hearts

shining around you...

Oh, it's impossible to talk to you.

I see Lurdes every day,

i never felt anything.

Don't try to lie to me, no. Oh! Tell

this to my mom. You wanna know?

Do something about it at once...

go talk to her, go, go,

go make the things right.

Go, do it, go, go.

Be brave, man...

You know Lurdes since

she was little, go, go fast.

Oh, just one more thing, ok?

Make my sister happy, man!

I am shaking badly...

Me too...

But mine wasn't yesterday,

nor the day before yesterday, you know?

When i saw you today,

entering here...

arriving here to dances,

I... started sweating...

Really?

No. It's a lie.

Actually, there is some time

since i keep an eye on you...

But I keep an eye on you too!

-No, it's me who keeps an eye on you.

-No, it's me...

No, it's me who...

Wanna dance?

Will some things change

between us, Lurdes?

Only the good part.

It will improve.

What a shork, you scared

me idiot!

Scared of what, my love?

I don't know, you are different,

with that weird hair...

It's a wig, silly.

A special edition,

of the ''National Journal''...

Oh, how boring,

can't even watch a series anymore!

I will warm up the dinner.

Everything is already in their hands,

what else do they want?

I will go help your mom.

...The institutional act Nr 5, through

which the brazilian govern...

places the National congress

in recess...

Geraldo, even i gave up trying

to take Lula in the sindicate, Geraldao.

Tell him what you are telling me...

-Nothing.

-What?

I said that i think that

it is better to watch series...

than waste time

with this nonsense.

Series, Geraldao!

Series, Geraldao...

So you like series, right?

And do you really believe this?

Look, Geraldao, i have a good job,

you know?

I have some plans with Lurdes,

and i don't want to get in troubles.

You know that at some moment you are up

and the next you are down.

What is this?

Are you pressing me, are you?

It's not about that, i already told you,

it has nothing to do with that.

Ok, just listen, you don't lose anything

if you will go the to take a look.

It won't bite you.

You organize these meetings

only to talk about holiday period.

When the problem is salary,

the effort that you do is not the same.

But it is true, Comrades.

It's one thing at a time...

we should start gaining again the trust

of the working class in the sindicate.

We have to bring the working class

here again.

I didn't know it would be like that.

This looks like

football talk.

But it's not like that, on a rush,

on fluster, no...

No, i don't know, no, huh?

Ah, come on! You will keep

on insiting with this...

and they will

go turn back to you...

And that one know how to play, huh?

-He is the president.

-...he will piss you off.

Will you confront them, will you

go there with your bare chest, against the tank

Exactly like this.

It can get ugly, but we should

reatract a little bit now.

It is important. It is important

for us to retract a little.

Reatracting now is not a sight of

cowardice, no, it's a sign of courage.

We have to persist,

comrads, to continue lively...

fix our positions.

If no...

There is space for you, on his sheet.

We need to be persistent...

True or not?

The stuff is filling the mouth

of the workers with everything, but...

does this circus

change anything...

or it stays like before?

It depends on what the what the players wish.

In reality, a worker like

us, even operators...

none of them was there.

Everything was born and grown in the office.

And then, why would i get

involved in a game like this?

That is what is missing there...

somebody different.

That thinks different.

But why don't you call Ziza?

We can't call Ziza

because Ziza is a comunist...

understand?

If we call Ziza...

the authorities, the employers will

be keeping an eye on us.

But his formation?

He has formation, doesn't it matter?

The formation here is deformation for people.

The ideology doesn't matter,

it is something for your mind.

Ok.

Lula, will you come to the syndicate

with me or no?

I don't know...

Come, lula.

Come, men, come, yeeee!

That's how i like it!

Fresh blood around here.

What?

If i had a little house like this one,

would you marry me?

There is something wrong with your judgment, no?

You just finished speaking about the syndicate,

and now you speak about marriage...

The sydnicate is very dangerous

for those that want to have a family, you know?

Come here, come here!

Listen, this little place...

i boght it with the money

that i saved from the compensation.

Don't joke with me like that,

Mr. Luis!

Lurdes, do you have any doubt

that we were born for each other?

No.

Will you marry me?

Take care, lula, if you die,

i will kill you!

Will you marry me?

Oh, i'll throw the bouquet!

Lurdes, Lurdes, my daughter!

Listen...

Eh... you need patience in the marriage,

ok? You know that, right?

Brown sugar is sweet

but it is not soft, no, huh?

I know, Miss Lindu,

don't worry, i will take care...

of your son very well, ok?

Go... throw... throw... throw...

Oh, i will throw, huh?

lu, how many buttons

does this dress have?

Fifty, i think.

If you don't get an appointment

you can get burnt, you know?

But i thought that he stays here

to talk to people.

No, Claudio stays,

but he is a person...

with a lot of atributions, meetings...

Look, let's do like this,

tell Claudio...

that these are some ideas

that i left here...

i got them together with the staff

that is in the box, ok?

Excuse me, i didn't know that

the indemnity was a problem.

Oh, you'll see,

Claudio will help you, ok?

I don't want anything from him.

Tell him that Lula left these here, ok?

These are just some ideas, nothig special...

Go, go, Feitosa,

you can solve this very well!

Ah, what is this!
