The Man of the Year
Before you're born...
someone, maybe God, defines exactly
how he's going to f*** your life.
This was my theory.
God only thinks about
men at the start...
when He decides whether their
life is going to be good or bad.
If He's in a hurry,
He makes a war, or a tornado...
of people without a thought.
But He did think about me.
'THE MAN OF THE YEAR'
So, have you chosen?
- This one.
- Nowadays men are like women.
Liposuction, waxing, getting rid of
wrinkles, peeling, botox, everything.
For instance, now it 's trendy
for men to dye their hair blond.
- Yesterday, I did two myself.
- In my case it was a bet.
I don't like my clients looking.
Spoils the surprise.
- What bet was that?
- Soccer.
Losing is terrible. Who lost?
Me.
Oh, my God.
I shouldn't have left
it so long, but...
I think you'll like it.
Hope so.
It's nearly platinum blonde.
What's wrong, didn't you like it?
I can dye it again, if you want.
I've always thought I was ugly.
Never enjoyed looking in the mirror.
But on that day it was different.
I looked at that face that was mine
but wasn't mine. A blond...
a stranger.
I spent my whole life wishing
lwere someone else.
And there I felt my time had come.
What are you doing tonight?
So, what are we going to do?
I wanted to take Cledir to a motel
and f*** all night long.
But I' d promise to pass
by Gonzaga's bar...
and show my cousin Robinson
that I' d paid my debt.
I could've gone there another time,
but I felt like going right then.
I was feeling good...
and wanted to show everyone
the new Miquel.
Where's Robinson?
- What the f***'s that?
- What's up? What am I, a clown?
You look funny.
- In what way, brother?
- What do you mean? Just funny.
You look like a gringo.
You telling me I look like a fag?
You walk in here looking like a
gringo and I can't think it's funny?
What's your problem?
I'not a f*ggot and I'm not a clown.
I don't like you laughing
when I walk in here.
That 's the problem.
Look, Miquel...
I didn't call you a fag...
but I am now.
If you ask me...
any man who dyes his hair blond
like that, like you did...
has to be a fag, and big time.
C'mon. Weren't we going to dance?
Miquel, come and have
a beer with us, man.
Go f*** yourself.
Don't mess around with that guy.
Forget it.
You're the f*ggot, Suel. Let's go
outside settle this sh*t like men.
Come on, let's go!
- I'm so scared of you.
- Let 's go!
Hey c'mon! Stop that now!
No fighting in my bar!
I'm with my girlfriend tonight.
I'll deal with you another time.
Whenever you like, Blondie.
- Let 's go.
- Tomorrow. Midday, here.
I couldn't sleep at night
thinking about Suel.
I shouldn't have done that.
I had gotten myself in a duel.
Suel surely had a gun. I had never
held a gun before, damn it.
I was going to stay home quiet,
and forget that guy.
F*** him.
I wasn't gonna go out.
Reach for your gun, Suel.
Fire away, Blondie.
That's how things began.
In this stupid way.
I never thought I' d kill someone.
And all because of a bet.
DAY OF SADNESS AND GLORY
AT MARACAN:
I wanted to run away,
to leave town but I just stood...
standing there.
I was afraid of Suel' s friends,
afraid of the cops, of going to jail.
I just wanted to put
an end to that agony.
I was going to hand myself in.
- Hand yourself in, like hell!
- Like hell!
I told you not to mess with Suel!
- You've got to get away fast.
- Take that car you've been using...
...and go to the countryside.
- No, the Maverick's due tomorrow!
You should go further,
up to the northeast.
F***, Marco!
People hide over in Niteri.
Why don't you dye your hair
black and stay right here?
After having dropped
at the end of last week...
today the dollar increased
by 5.31%% against the real...
and was bought at R$ 3.165
and sold at R$ 3.17.
The volume of transactions
among banks decreased.
Hey, Miquel!
Suel was a f***ing thief.
He took boxes of booze...
and said that if I told the cops
he'd set fire to the bar.
Plus the f***er was under age
and couldn't be arrested.
He deserved to die.
Go on, drink your whisky.
I'll just have a Coke, no ice.
He's the one who shot Suel.
Good work. Helping keep the
trash off the streets. Let's go.
I felt it was still too early
for me to feel safe.
But everybody was thanking me,
giving me presents.
I never thought that people would
be happy with the death of a guy.
They said that criminals belong
in the cemetery...
and that I had done
society some good.
Who farted there, man?
Sh*t, man.
- Stinks!
- Gross, man!
That stinks! F***!
Just a minute.
Trumps. Pass.
So tell us how you
knocked that guy out.
The guy came at me like this, right?
Showing off...
Had a girlfriend, didn't he?
- Wonder where she's gone.
- She can go f*** herself.
I... I...
I...
Go on, Enoque, spit it out!
- It was nobody.
- What do you mean, nobody?
Nobody.
Mr. Baldani sent this.
Told me to congratulate you.
Congratulations. Bye.
Bill Clinton's visit to Brazil...
was marked by a breach of protocol.
At the Mangueira Olympic village...
the American retinue
was half an hour late.
They were applauded
by the elite of Rio's samba.
The VIPs of Mangueira Samba School
heard two celeb's speeches.
Pel succeeded in making
Bill Clinton...
the first US president
to join Mangueira.
Look here!
Be quiet!
I can do that too.
I'll make you a deal:
Don't eat my sneakers
and I won't eat you.
Your name's Bil now. Okay?
What's up? What's up?
Who's Bil? Who's Bil?
Who's Bil? Who's Bil...
Bil, daddy's going out now
to buy food for you.
Food for Bil.
After I killed Suel a lot of things
changed in my life.
That was all the neighborhood talked
about. They were proud of me.
I always thought life sucked,
I always did everything wrong...
but now it was different.
I started to enjoy things.
I felt important, happy.
I was going to get a job,
work, and date.
In Japan there are many
ways to prepare fish...
but only a way to cut it.
Ginsu 20OO for the legend lives on.
Sharper than ever,
its carbon steel blade...
cuts bones like this.
A genuine Ginsu can cut,
carve, chop, saw and slice.
Its extremely sharp saw-toothed
edge can easily carve...
this turkey and this shank.
Ginsu cuts any kind of vegetable.
Look. How much would you pay
for this Ginsu 20OO?
Don't answer yet because you'll also
receive 6 other knives for barbecue.
Their double saw-toothed blades
can carve any kind of meat.
That's not all.
You'll also get this cutter...
for delicate cuts of meat that
won't require further sharpening.
Bil!
Listen to me!
You're not doing your part!
Hi.
Hi.
Folks are talking about you.
Jesus, what happened
to your sneaker?
- Oh, that was Bil.
- The dog?
- No, the pig.
- Pig? You've got a pig now?
- Cool, where is it?
- It's in the bathroom.
A piglet... to eat.
What do you think I'd have
