The Man Who Copied Page #7

Which erst from heat

did canopy the heard."

The leafless tree...

where the cattle used to go

for shadow, when it had leaves.

"And summer's green

all girded up in sheaves.

Borne on the bier with white

and bristly beard.

The hay being taken away

on a cart."

Yes.

The white and bristly beard.

It's about time, Andre.

The passing of time.

"Then of thy beauty

do I question make.

That thou amongst

the wastes of time must go."

- That's...

- Yes, I get it.

"Since sweets and beauties

do themselves forsake.

And die as fast

as they see others grow.

And nothing 'gainst time's scythe

can make defense.

Save breed to brave him

when he takes thee hence."

What's that?

It's a way of beating death.

Of deceiving time.

Breed. Children.

I understand it.

It is really beautiful.

Thank you.

- I have to get back to work.

- OK, sure.

Silvia?

Will you wait for me?

I will.

Do you...

Do you want to marry me

and get away from here?

Sure I do.

It may take about six months.

I'll wait.

I'll wait even longer,

if I have to.

Take care.

Wimp.

Watch what you do with it.

And the bullets?

- There are five in there.

- Only five?

If you need five you're screwed.

But then,

if you need one you're screwed.

Where were you?

You didn't even see me

get here.

Look. The other guy?

I'll be pointing the gun at one

of them. The other won't shoot.

- What if he does?

- Then I'll shoot too.

Will you kill the guy?

I hope not.

I'll stay in the car.

I've nothing to do with this.

If they catch you,

I'll tell them I don't know you.

- I only gave you a ride.

- OK.

- And if you shoot anyone, I'm out.

- OK.

If it works,

half the money's mine.

OK. Just wait me with the car.

When?

Tomorrow.

You get the car.

Money is only paper that

people believe is worth something.

If nobody believes it,

it's useless.

Here I go!

What do you want?

Good morning.

- I'm doing a survey.

- What?

I'm doing a survey...

for school, about music.

What survey is that?

It's a survey about

the kind of music people prefer.

Would you answer

a few questions?

You want to know

my favorite kind of music?

Yes.

- Rock.

- Rock?

And do you have

a favorite band?

Creedence.

OK, thanks.

Drop the gun! Drop it!

Drop the bag!

Get in the car! Hurry!

Come on, get in!

- Don't you see me?

- What?

The parking meter, man.

I didn't have a coin.

Just a minute...

Just a second.

Please.

A second more.

A lower bill.

Get a lower one.

I was thinking of getting

my hair cut really short.

And selling the rest.

They pay $ 500 for hair

like mine, you know?

They've offered me $ 300.

But I didn't cut it.

I'll only have it cut for $ 600.

I wasjust thinking: My

hair takes three months to grow.

If I cut it in the full moon and

eat lots of carrots and cucumbers.

It's $ 600.

$ 200 a month.

$ 200 to grow hair?

It's more than I earn here.

Occupation...

Hair garden!

Wait, let me take a look here.

Short hair, by the way,

is much more practical.

THIEF RUNS AWAY ON FOO WITH $ 2 MILLION

You never comb your hair, I know.

Look.

OK. It doesn't look like you.

It looks like Romario.

No, the headline below.

- "The new lottery."

- No, the other one.

"Drug dealer arrested

with fake money."

"Jeferson Feitosa

was arrested yesterday...

as he tried to pass a fake bill

of $50 at a nightclub."

"He had also other 5 bills..."

"6 bills of $ 50..." Is he the guy

you bought the gun from?

And the fingerprints

on the gun?

- Are his.

- It's alright then.

Did you realize they said

the counterfeits were bad?

- No.

- It's here...

"Badly made counterfeits

lead drug dealer tojail."

Without my help, your performance

as a forger is terrible.

What?

"The new lottery winner

has not yet appeared...

to receive

his $ 4 million prize.

The numbers drawn are an

amazing sequence of 1, 2, 3, 4..."

What is this, man?

Shut up!

We've won! We've won!

Sing a song of sixpence

A pocket full of rye

What if we returned

the stolen money?

- How?

- I don't know! By mail.

What for?

I robbed a bank, I shot a guy.

Can you see my photo

on the paper...

"The new lottery millionaire"?

So there's only one way.

You must give someone

the lottery ticket.

Someone who knows how to

deal with money, who's classy.

Someone you trust.

Someone you're absolutely

sure won't screw you.

You're right.

Once again,

congratulations for the prize.

Would you like

some of the money in cash?

$ 6,000.

For small expenses.

Yes, I think it's all settled.

Do you want to know

the password?

So, I want to know

everything you've done.

The password is...

They're my measurements.

- Do you want to write it down?

- No, it's OK.

And what are we going to do

with this money?

With this money, nothing yet.

This is dangerous money,

it's numbered.

And with the prize?

Spend it!

- V-6 engine...

- Lovely.

- 3 valves per cylinder.

- A lot of valves.

- Side finishing in carbon fiber.

- Excellent.

- 8 airbags!

- Wow!

In the front and sides.

The windshield wiper turns

itself on and off.

Good! 'Cause sometimes your mind

is somewhere else.

Man, this is the car!

Do you have it in silver?

Why is this sh*t silver

instead of black?

What's Rio like?

Is it nice?

Yes.

I want you to go there with me.

Antunes won't let us leave

like that. He'll come after us.

We'll get married.

Even so.

What's the problem?

I'll talk to him.

Will you?

Yes.

- You said silver.

- I said black.

Let's not start this again

it annoys me!

But you said silver.

I said black,

I'm wearing my black dress!

- Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

Cardoso, at your service.

Marinez, my fiance.

We'd like to enjoy the comforts

of a Presidential Suite.

It is unavailable right now.

Do you have a reservation?

What do you mean?

I'll make one now then.

No, please.

It's not necessary.

We have 3 types of room,

all very good.

Yes? What types?

Luxury rooms, grand luxury rooms

and a special grand luxury suite.

The special grand luxury.

As you wish.

Do you have any luggage?

Yes, it's in the silver Mercedes.

I don't like black.

It gets dirty too easily.

Perfect.

It's a double bed, isn't it?

Double King Size bed.

Double King Size?

Double King Size.

It's very big.

Do you think he'll like me?

I hope not.

Why?

Antunes is a scumbag.

- Your father?

- I take after my mother.

- What kind of a scumbag?

- The worst kind.

Andre, Antunes, Andre.

- How old are you?

- 1.

What do you do?

Andre draws.

For magazines.

He draws really well.

- How did you meet?

- At the shop.

Andre came in to buy a present

for his mother.

What are we drinking?

- Can I have a glass of water?

- No.

- What's your name?

- Andre.

Listen here, Andre. I know

it was you who robbed that bank.

It was you who

shot me in the leg.

If I blow the whistle on you,

you'll get what? 15 years in jail?

But I don't care about that.

I know you have the money.

I don't even want all of it.

If you want to marry Silvia,

it's your problem.
