Woman on Top Page #4

To get a single good one, you must 100 try.

But why try more than you have to?

Hello. I am Isabella Oliveira, and welcome | to a special edition of "Passion Food."

Today we'll be creating a symphony of fruits | from around the world.

- We'll be right back. | - Cut! Excellent, Isabella. Two minutes, guys.

- How does she do that? | - Don't try to understand it. Just feel it!

I'm so happy to see you. You look radiant.

Thank you.

You know, there is something | we need to talk about.

- What are you doing? | - I can't help it.

- Can you please stop sniffing my hair? | - Give me a kiss.

- No. | - Just one?

You know,

I think we should get a divorce.

- A what? | - A divorce.

There goes the other shoe.

- What the hell is going on? | - I don't know. OK, everybody, five seconds.

- Five seconds. | - In three, two...

- When it comes to melons, here is a tip: | - Why isn't he singing?

- Don't ask. Just feel. | - I will never give you a divorce! Never!

- You're my wife and I love you. | - Pull it now!

Pull it now.

Just pull it! I don't know! "Wings, Jeopardy!" | "Mad About You," infomercials. Just get it off!

- Oh, my God. | - Whatever, just pull it!

- Moron! | - What?

- Come here! | - Oh, man!

You little Latin mambo-mouth!

Do you know what you've just done? | This is live television!

Good! Then everyone knows | how much I love her,

you butt-licking television slave!

- Take that! | - Hey!

You naughty girl. I hardly recognize you.

I hardly recognize myself.

No, Cliff, you're not fired. Not yet.

We're gonna be on the news: | "Real-life romance on new cooking show."

See ya.

What am I doing wrong? | Is it because I love her too much?

If you do, why park the welcome wagon | at the neighbor's?

You wouldn't understand. You're not a man.

Toninho... that's probably | the nicest thing you ever said to me.

I can't believe she's punishing me so hard | cos of one stupid mistake.

One stupid mistake, honey! You smothered | her, stashed away in that restaurant.

- She was the cook! | - The cook!

OK. Father, help us, OK?

Let's try the basics.

- Why don't you try to be her friend? | - Her friend?

Trust me, I watch a lot of Oprah. | Friendship is the basis of any relationship.

A relationship. We didn't have | a relationship. We were in love!

- Like Romeo and Juliet? | - Yes!

- Or Tristan and Isolde? | - Yes!

- Sonny and Cher. | - Yes!

- They all ended up dead, except for Cher. | - Dead, but in love.

Toninho, you are a macho, | romantic, primitive heterosexual.

Honey, that's so 20th century. | Look, step into the present. OK?

Look at Cliff. He knows how to be her friend, | and I think she's responding, too.

- Cliff? | - Yes.

What could she possibly see in that clown?

Oh, I don't know, apart from the fact | that he's sweet and modern and sensitive.

Steel! I'm just kidding.

What are you doing here?

I thought I could help you at the market, | like I used to. Remember?

- May I? | - No, thank you.

Maybe I could do the shopping for you. This | way you wouldn't have to wake up so early.

Toninho, why are you doing this?

- Because I wanna be your friend. | - My friend?

Yes.

So you mean if I have a problem with a lover, | can I come to you for advice?

- You have a lover? | - Not yet.

- Do you think you can love someone else? | - Yes.

No! For each person | there is only one perfect mate.

The moment we met I knew it was you, | and you knew it was me.

So if we give up now, | you can never love this way again.

Who gave up, me or you?

I didn't give up. | I made a mistake, and I regret it.

Please, Isabella, give me another chance.

I can't live without you.

I'll do anything you want.

Toninho, don't make it harder.

We can be friends.

But I just don't love you anymore.

I'm sorry.

Listen to me, you've gotta come back.

There are still no fish in the sea | and the fishermen are desperate.

- You're gonna lose this restaurant. | - Rafi, I can't come home without Isabella.

Give everyone their severance.

Beyond that, I can't say.

You're becoming a star, Isabella.

Doesn't that make you happy?

I guess.

I did everything I could | to get Toninho off the show.

It's OK.

It doesn't matter anymore.

The last and most important ingredient

is to share it with someone you love.

Thank you.

Hey!

- What's up with you? | - I don't know.

Everything is going so well, and I feel | as if the wind is blowing right through me.

Oh, baby, what you feel is Ionely.

Sweetheart, you need | to fall in love again, and fast.

- I'm not in the mood for love. | - Of course you're not. You're out of practice.

It takes an effort. | Honey, if you don't eat, you don't get hungry.

OK, hold on to your peppers.

You won't believe this. The network called.

They are flying in some executives tomorrow.

The show might be going national!

- We're going national! | - We're going national!

We're going national.

National.

Hey, what's going on?

Aren't you happy? This was our dream.

No, I'm happy. I am just tired.

Will you take me out tonight?

Yeah... sure. Great.

- We can work on some ideas for the show. | - No, not for work, for fun.

Can it be just fun?

Fun?

I can do fun.

Wow! You look beautiful.

Isabella.

Sit down.

a message after the tone. Thank you.

Isabella, are you there?

- Isabella, I know you want me to go away, | - Should I turn that off?

And I've given you every reason to.

whatever you do, I will always love you.

Anyway, here's this for you.

Wait.

I want to fall in love again.

- Isabella. Isabella, wait, wait, wait. | - What?

Look, there's nothing I would like more.

- Did I do something wrong? | - No, no, no. I just...

Look, I think this guy | still has his hooks in you.

- That's not true. | - Isabella, I really like you.

I just think you need some time | to figure out what you want.

I'll be around.

Good night.

Oh, it's anemic. It's bloody anemic. | Give me a darker bronze there, will you?

Oh, Isabella, ducks. I'm gonna need a big | Julia Roberts smile from you in 15, OK?

Much brighter, OK. Bring it up a little higher.

- Cliff? | - Yeah?

I'm not sure about this dress.

What are you talking about? | You look unbelievable.

Look, it's just for one show. The executives | wanted to see you in something less... ethnic.

Ethnic?

- Cliff, Alex on line four. | - OK.

Look, you look beautiful.

Really.

OK. Come on.

Right, there we are. Good.

See you tomorrow.

Yemanja,

I offer you these pearls,

so the fish will come back to Bahia.

But about Isabella... stay out of my business.

This is her decision and mine.

When human love is strong enough,

no god, not even you, Yemanja, | can take it away.

Yemanja be praised.

Oh, mother!

Who dressed you? Vanna White?

The suits. It looks very bad?

Baby, nothing looks bad on you. | You're beautiful.

You better not come near my wardrobe.

- Where is Toninho? | - Toninho quit two hours ago. Isn't that nice?

- Stand by, everyone. | - He quit?

- Why? | - I don't know.
