The Man of the Year Page #2

a pig in the house for?

Oh, don't eat it.

Pigs are so cute.

What is it?

Toothache.

- Feel better?

- Sure.

- Do you like pork?

- Sure, nice piece of loin.

You know, I prefer you like this,

blond. Suits you.

You'll have to go back

and redo the roots.

I think you'd better go

and find a dentist.

DENTAL SURGEON:

I hate Rio.

Violence is turning

this city into a jungle.

Crime is running rings

around this place, son.

I'm in favor of the death penalty.

All that talk about

human rights is a laugh.

They're not humans,

kidnappers, rapists.

If you ask me,

one's born with criminal impulses.

Dr. Carvalho was a strange man,

but I liked him.

He told me some funny things.

But I was ashamed to open my mouth,

my teeth all f***ed up.

Your teeth are decayed, son,

all of them.

How much to pull out

the one that 's hurting?

I can treat your teeth.

You're too young for dentures.

I don't think I've got enough

to pay for treatment.

You're the one who

killed Suel, aren't you?

You don't need to pay, son.

I like you. That is,

I like what you did to Suel.

That mulatto had it coming to him.

I hate blacks. I hate mulattos.

I'm one helluva racist.

Everyone's racist.

Only the hypocrites have no courage

to admit it. I'll tell you something:

You've got a problem.

I'm a dentist and I've got a problem.

We can help each other.

You do me a favor

and I'll do you a favor.

How about it?

This is my daughter.

She's 17, just a kid.

She was raped.

I never told the police.

You know, the humiliation.

Miquel, I want you to kill

the bastard who hurt my girl.

I've nowhere to stay.

I'll come live at your place.

Here?

Suel looked after me...

now you'll have to.

It's no use throwing me out.

I won't go.

How old are you?

Fifteen.

If you won't let me in, I'll stay

right here outside your door.

And every time you go out,

I'll sneak in.

Suel's mother threw me out.

I've got nowhere to go.

You'll have to keep me now.

Give me a place to stay,

food, clothes...

everything I need.

To get rid of me you'll have

to kill me, like you did Suel.

I'm not leaving, period.

Gee, I've already

got one pig in there.

It's nice here.

You can stay here

till we find someplace else.

You can sleep on the bed.

I'll take the sofa.

I don't know about

a criminaI's soul...

but an honest man's soul

is a living hell.

Just take a look around.

Walls with broken glass, iron barbs,

barbed wire, bulletproof cars...

bulletproof windows... All we ever

think about is defending ourselves.

No one respects

traffic lights anymore.

No one goes out at night.

No one opens their window at night.

We're all scared stiff.

Well, I fulfilled my promise.

Have you brought me any news?

I know where he works,

at a pet store.

He lives with his mother.

She's really sick...

but he takes good care of her.

Everyone's got a mother, son.

Even Emperor Nero had a mother.

Just look at your new smile.

Smile, son, show your teeth, laugh.

I'm the one who can no longer smile.

This pain consuming me,

my poor baby girl.

I need money to buy a new gun.

- Why did you kill Suel?

- Get out!

- I'm not looking.

- Get out and close the door!

Why did you kill Suel?

He didn't do anything to you.

You can stay at my place,

eat my food...

wear my clothes, ask for money,

play with my pig...

sleep in my bed, just don't

annoy me with that question!

- Who are you looking for?

- Caju.

This is an AR-15, been very popular

here in Rio for a long time...

good for pumping lead.

The ammo's a b*tch to find, though.

Uzi...

handles easy.

I like this babe a lot.

Real nice.

No, I want something lighter,

I don't know, a revolver.

- A 38.

- I know what you want.

You want something light...

to carry hidden in your belt,

to command a little respect.

Right?

Take a 45, semi-automatic.

Knocks them right out. And the

ammo's readily available. Here.

Feel it.

Feel that power.

Feels like you're wearing

a crown, right?

Tell me.

You're Miquel, aren't you?

What's up, man?

Oh, nothing.

In those days,

I hadn't yet learned to hate.

People said Ezequiel was evil...

but all I could see

was this poor bastard.

Hi.

Hi.

Weren't you gonna introduce me your

friend who's staying at your place?

She's an acquaintance.

I'm going to take a shower.

Wait, I've got something

important to tell you.

- What's that on your shirt?

- Nothing.

I cut myself.

He's angry at me. But I already

told him I'm not leaving.

Promise she's leaving?

I promise.

Haven't you noticed anything

different? Take a good look.

I've put over 6 pounds,

can't you tell?

Guess.

I'm pregnant.

We can marry in March,

the baby'll be born in November.

So I can take my vacation from work.

You know the priest I told you about?

I love Father Oscar. At the church

Our Lady of Conception...

they do weddings with 15, 2O couples.

It's the loveliest thing in the world.

Or maybe we should just

get married by ourselves.

Or everyone will be comparing

dresses. Come on, say something!

I thought we could go

and live with my mom.

I don't really like this place.

We can do up that room at the back.

But tell me...

don't I look pregnant?

- A church wedding?

- Yeah.

With a wedding dress,

veil, garland, the works?

How am I meant to know?

Are you mad at me or at

yourself about getting married?

I want to marry.

I like Cledir.

I asked her to marry me.

Tomorrow I'm going to her place

to make the arrangements.

I want to change,

want to be a normal man...

have a family, kids,

go to church on Sundays...

Don't be ridiculous, Miquel!

And where would you get the money

to take care of us? You have no job.

You know we're

an unauthorized dealer.

You want in?

Fine, but that 's the deal.

No, Marco, that 's not my scene now.

I need a proper job.

I'm getting married.

Going to have a kid.

Why get married right now?

Go and tell her:

Look, I've no job, no money.

Make a deal with her. You don't know

what 's like to have a son. Tell her:

- Let 's get rid of the baby together.

- I want to get married, work.

If you ask me,

only dumb women get pregnant.

And they should pay the price on

their own. Let her bring up the brat.

Maybe it 's not even yours.

B*tches f*** around...

Not b*tch, man!

Cledir, there's something

I want to talk about.

- Look how it 's growing, so big now.

- It sure has grown.

Mom's coming, she's getting dressed.

Let 's just talk about the wedding,

no need to mention I'm pregnant, OK?

Your hands are freezing.

Are you nervous?

Cledir, I've been thinking...

I've be thinking, and

I think it 's for the best...

Ready! I'm coming!

Ah, Miquel, I'm so pleased

to receive you in my home!

Sit down, son.

Now I can call you son, right?

We must register this occasion!

It's so nice to see you together.

Praise the Lord!

MiqueI's Coke!

I'll just fetch it.

- No ice, mom. He likes it without it.

- You told me so many times, I forgot.

I wanted to tell you...

See how happy she is?
