01x03 - A Universe of Things That I don't Know

[bunniefuu]

Pedro's Channel

At least half of those views
are mine, yeah?

-Then the other half was mine.
-(SHUSHES)

(CHUCKLING)

You got mad
because I wanted to promote your song.

Now it's a hit.
You owe me 50 reais. You're welcome.

You guys treat me better than I treat you.

Your modesty is good for a protagonist,
but it's not very convincing.

-Protagonist?
-Never mind.

-Ana is coming.
-Ana?

Ana Caetano, haven't you heard?

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Hi, ladies.
It's a pleasure to have you here.

-Toni is in his office, come with me.
-Do you work wearing PJs?

He doesn't notice it.

Don't worry, there's no one hidden
under the counter.

What?

There's no one hidden
under or behind the counter.

Okay, but if there's no one
behind or under it,

why are you saying that?

So you're sure there's no one
behind or under the counter.

I don't get it.

It's like saying Celso Portiolli
had nothing to do with the invention

-of the telephone.
-Is that true?

-Exactly.
-Please, follow me.

Ana, that's wonderful!

I'm so happy you decided to sign with us.

Welcome to the biggest dream factory
in the world.

Thanks.

Tell me, what's your dream, Ana?

Jeez, that's your question?

(CHUCKLES)

I don't know how to answer it, I guess.

My friend, you say you feel
like doing a lot of things.

-But this isn't a dream, this is ambition.
-Then you're ambitious.

Dreams aren't ambitions, right?

-What's the difference, Ana?
-I don't know, Agnes!

ANA: For instance,
I have a lot of ambitions.

I want to write a lot of songs,
make a living through music, but...

But my dream...

I guess is learning to drive
and speaking English!

The difference between dreams
and ambition.

Write it down, dear.
Ms. Ana, you don't fool me.

You're ambitious and a dreamer.

Do you dream about a feature, Ana?

This is very important to me.

I've been waiting for this
for a long time. I want to do it right.

Wait...

Cynthia,

please.

Dreams, you have dreams.
You're ambitious. You do.

But it's different.

-One thing is different from the other.
-No, it's not!

-Oh, my God! I can't believe it's you!
-(EXCLAIMS EXCITEDLY)

-ANAVITÓRIA: Hi, dear!
-Hello!

-ANAVITÓRIA: Hi.
-Hey. Are you really Anavitória?

Just Vitória.
Ana is Ana, who is my partner.

-But where is Ana?
-She's filming a series.

-And she's an actress?
-She said she is now.

-Would you look at that...
-Can we touch you?

-That's a weird question, right?
-So, can we hug you?

You can.

Get down here. Cynthia.

Bring it.

You're silly, aren't you?

Yes.

You didn't need to lie to her.

I didn't lie,
I just didn't tell her I work here.

Okay. I lied to her.

I'm an idiot.

Guys, you can't make out
at the office, okay?

No, Cynthia, we weren't making out.

Mmm-hmm. Okay.

Pedro, get the contract
out of the printer and take it to Toni.

-Now.
-I got it.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Take it to Toni's office, please.

You messed up, didn't you?

Big time.

Don't look like a fool.
Things always work out.

If they didn't,
it's because something's wrong.

(EXCLAIMS)

-Think about it!
-It's all right, then, Rubel.

IT'S ALL RIGHT

There are lots of wonderful,
remarkable stories.

One day, Vivi called me and said,
"Totô..." It's...

Well, let me explain.

It's Vivi and Totô because we joke
about this all the time.

It's because we're very close, right?

Vivi's been my partner
for a long time, right? Come on in.

Thanks.

Look. This is very important.

Don't worry about the contract,
it's totally safe.

The moment you sign it,

we send it to the virtual vault,
upload it to this virtual vault,

which is absolutely protected.

It's the most protected
virtual vault in Brazil.

So, there's no mistake.

There's not going to be a t*rror1st
trying to take our contract away?

There might be, right?

-Yeah. There might be.
-Right?

-AGNES: Yeah.
-We have to be safe.

Okay.

-ANA: There you go.
-Great, great!

Let's celebrate.
Let's celebrate this awesome moment!

(AGNES CHEERS)

Cheers. In the name of art,
in the name of music.

(CHEERING)

Hey, can I ask you something?

Can you sing Changing the World to me?

Yes, but I'll probably play it wrong
on the guitar.

-You help me, and we can do this together.
-Okay.

-Shall we?
-I want to see this.

(ANA CHUCKLES)

(SOFT GUITAR STRUMMING)

(SINGING) I know I'll change the world

I know I'll change the world

(SINGING) With my voice
I have faith, with my mother

Tired of waiting

To see the change happening
I'm here to see

(BOTH VOCALIZING)

(BOTH VOCALIZING)

(SINGING) I believe in love
in any topic of love

Beautiful people

I believe in love, in any topic of love

Beautiful people

I believe in love

In any topic of love

Beautiful people

I believe in love, in any topic of love

Beautiful people

(ANAVITÓRIA CHUCKLES)

(AGNES GIGGLES)

-ANAVITÓRIA: You guys are beautiful!
-(ANA CHUCKLES)

CYNTHIA: No, cancel the contract,
if that's the case...

TONI: (SINGS) I've got hits, tons of hits

-I won't be fired. Neither will you.
-I'll be right with you.

(SINGING) Come dance, come dance
We're on a roll! I ain't got rhythm

Who's the best boss in the world? Toni!

Come dance with us because I'm very happy!

You were perfect!

-Your strategy was perfect, Cynthia!
-Thank you.

What strategy are you talking about?

I made an irrecusable proposition
to buy the girls' studio.

Wait!

-Was it you?
-Yes.

But none of that would have happened

if it weren't for you,
my boy, my hero. You're the man!

I never accepted your proposition, Toni.

I never wanted to be part of this.

Boy,

we don't get to choose our talent.

The talent chooses us.

And you're a spy.

Embrace it.

Scan this contract
and upload it to the vault,

because Ana Caetano is mine
for the next three years.

(IN ENGLISH) Caetano is mine.

Mine! Ana Caetano is mine.

(TONI CHEERS)

(TONI CHUCKLES)

Gita, you nailed this breakfast, you know?

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Hi, Serjão.

Yes, I called you.

We got the money.

We'll cover the offer for the house.

And it will remain
as the studio Four-Four-Seven.

(CHEERING)

ANA: I don't know about you,
but I'll do the "I bought a house" dance.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC STOPS)

-How long have you been there?
-Long enough.

-PEDRO: So, Ms. Owner?
-Sounds chic. It's like it's not me.

But it is, you're chic.

I'm chic... I think so too.

I want to thank you.

What for?

Because you helped me,
you encouraged me to close the deal,

to regain the studio and everything.

-I didn't do that. Are you nuts?
-How come?

I mean, you signed the contract, and...

-And accomplished these things. It's...
-Yes,

but I wouldn't have insisted on this idea
if it weren't for you.

You would have.
I don't have anything to do with this.

You're so weird sometimes.

Okay. It's...

-By the way, can I ask you something?
-Yes.

-Anything?
-Anything, I'm an open book.

Okay. You're an open book,
and I'm a guy from Minas Gerais.

And you know how things
are in Minas Gerais.

No, I don't. I've never been there.

It's just... I think things
are simpler there, clearer.

What is it, Pedro?

Vitão?

We're nothing.

We used to date,

but now we're just friends.

I have affection for him, but that's it.

Are you jealous?

-No, I don't get jealous.
-"I don't get jealous."

Okay.

I wrote a song.

No lyrics, just the melody.
Want to hear it?

-Is it for me?
-No.

(ANA EXCLAIMS MISCHIEVOUSLY)

He doesn't write songs for anyone!
He's a cold man!

Do you want to hear the song or not?

-You're never cute, are you?
-Never.

Here it goes.

(STRUMMING GUITAR)

Want to go somewhere with me?

(HAPPY MUSIC PLAYING)

ANA: Downtown is my favorite part
of São Paulo.

They've got the best secondhand bookstores
and record stores.

PEDRO: She's vintage,
she listens to records.

(CHUCKLES) Anyway,
I'll bring my son here when he turns 12.

-And what will your son's name be?
-Caetano Caetano.

What do you mean?
You'll have two Caetanos?

No, one.
First name Caetano, last name Caetano.

I'm Ana Caetano, he'll be Caetano Caetano.

So, based on your logic,
my son would be called Costa Costa.

No, because mine is Caetano
due to the artist Caetano.

Who is Costa?

He'll be the first important Costa
in the world.

He'll be so great that other babies
will be called Costa because of him.

-Did you know my middle name is Costa?
-Really?

Mmm-hmm.

So, our son would be called...

Caetano Caetano Costa Costa Costa.

No.

Because Caetano Costa is a compound name,
and Caetano Costa is a last name.

So, it would be
Caetano Costa Caetano Costa.

-Pedro.
-What?

-He kicked. (LAUGHS)
-Oh, my God! Let's go to the hospital!

(HAPPY MUSIC CONTINUES)

FAN: Hi.

Are you Pedro?

PEDRO: I am, why?

FAN: Man, I loved your song.

Can I have your autograph?

Sure.

That's crazy. I've never done this.

How do I sign this?
As if I were at the notary office?

Didn't you ever practice this
when you were a kid?

-Yes.
-So...

-Thanks. I hope it's good for you.
-Thanks.

Am I signing autographs
or prescribing a medicine?

-Oh, God, I'm signing an autograph.
-Yes! You're signing autographs.

-I didn't know this was still a thing.
-Get used to it.

You don't need to be nervous about it
or try to impress. It's just an autograph!

It's weird because I have no idea
who that guy is, and he knows who I am.

I wonder if he expected me
to be a nicer guy.

Hi! Can you take a picture?

-Sure, what's your name, dear?
-Yasmin.

-(ANA CHUCKLES)
-(PEDRO EXCLAIMS)

(ANA CHUCKLES)

-PEDRO: There. Thanks.
-Thanks.

ANA: Nice, you did great, Pedrão.

PEDRO: It's ringing.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

-What's up, buddy?
-DECO: Hi, Gita told me you're with Pedro.

I am.

-DECO: What's up?
-Hi, Deco. Doing great?

-DECO: Yes. Good to see you.
-I'm your biggest fan, dude.

DECO: Man, I want to invite you
to something.

For God's sake,
just don't let this watermelon die!

Whoo! You're excited, bro.
What's today's good news?

Have you heard about Hotelo?

Yes.

So, I'm going to play at their concert.

Wow, now we're talking, baby.

You're a badass, man!

So? What about Ana?

-Have you told her the truth or not?
-No.

Every time we try to talk about it,

it seems like it's not the right time.

So, I'm just giving it time.

Pedro, there's no right time to tell her.

What's important

is to have good timing, got it?

What's important is you don't let
that watermelon die, Doctor.

-I got it.
-Leave the rest to me, okay?

-All right.
-PEDRO: Thanks!

Handle this for me.

(SONG PLAYS ON RADIO)

Have you heard from Pedro?

He went to the notary office
with another intern. Why?

Nothing.

Mmm.

(SONG PLAYS ON RADIO)

Excuse me,
can you turn up the volume a little bit?

No.

(TURNS UP VOLUME)

What are you doing, girl?

Oh, my God, it's Pedro's song!

-"Pedro" as in Pedro?
-I'll bring this right back!

(SONG ON RADIO) ...to notice me

Excuse me.

(SONG ON RADIO) I wonder what you think

About us being so distant

(SONG GETS LOUDER)

What do you need to see

That we're alike?

I wonder what you think

About us being so distant

What do you need to see

Look!

(UPBEAT SONG PLAYING)

It's... I don't know.

No, Ana, just wait a little bit.

This amazing arrangement
we made is coming. You'll see.

But I think this is old.

I guess I had something more modern
in mind, you know?

No, babe, I know,
but there's a guitar solo we added.

You think? A guitar solo in this song?

Any song.
Guitar solos are always good, right, Ana?

-It works very well.
-Yeah?

Trust no one, Ana Caetano.

The truth is we always care
about the numbers,

but we'll always pretend
this is about art.

-What's this, Cynthia?
-Cynthia?

Cynthia, nice to meet you.
New president of Chart Music.

But you can call me chief.

Oh, boss! Boss is also great.

-Jesus Christ.
-But you, Toni.

You can't call me anything.

You're fired.

Mmm.

My song had 50,000 views.

That's a lot,
considering it's my first release,

-and it's been only a week.
-I'm glad you're having fun, son,

but tell me about your job.

I'm telling you. This is my job.

That is a hobby, Pedro.
We've already talked a lot about this.

I support your stuff, as long as
it doesn't get in your job's way.

Mom, I still work at the label.
I'm an intern.

I bring and pick up things
at the notary office,

I proofread contracts.

This is the most boring job
out of many boring jobs.

It's a job, son! A job!

If it was fun,
they would call it a vacation.

This is what will pay your bills.

You should be grateful you have a job.

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

I could expect a betrayal from anyone.

From Clara, the intern.
Even from my mother.

Except from you, Cynthia!

"Betrayal" is such
an old-fashioned word, Toni.

It's so cumbersome, you know?
So full of guilt.

-No, there's no other word.
-Yes, there is!

Merit. Competence. Okay?

The truth is as obvious
as it is bitter, Toni.

And we know you're incompetent,
that's the truth we know.

-You were my right hand, Cynthia.
-I was.

I was your right hand,
your left hand and both of your feet.

It just so happens I decided
to be the mind too.

The head office gave you a deadline
you couldn't meet for a long time.

Okay? They set a lot of goals for you
you couldn't achieve.

Then, they had to do something.

Honey, I just signed with Ana Caetano.

Ana Caetano!

Do you really think
Ana Caetano can save this label?

Yes, because she's the greatest songwriter
I've ever met.

That's so cute! So sweet!

This love, romantic music thing
is over, Toni!

Look around you, people don't care
about those things!

Now, they just want to hear the bass!

Got it?

(SCOFFS)

What are you going to do
with her contract?

Her contract is here.

What do you think I'm going to do?

What I do with all the other contracts.

Put it in the fridge.

(SIGHS)

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

(GUITAR MUSIC STARTS PLAYING)

Hey, everyone. We're very happy
to play for you here today.

Really.

This song is called Luck,
which is what we wish you, right?

Lots of luck.

(SINGING) I woke up thinking
About you today

Thinking about things
I don't even know why

It's hard to disguise

I fool myself I already know

I wonder if you too

It was too much
Luck

We were laying around
In the middle of the room

Upside down trying
To turn the facts around

It was too much
Oh, luck

Do your thing, and things will work out.

Sorry, I can't even talk now.

Your hand is freezing.

LEAD SINGER: (SINGS) I look for a way out
You're the way out, baby

I say, come

I woke up thinking about you today

Thinking about things
I don't even know why

It's hard to disguise

I fool myself I already know

I wonder if you too

It was too much
Luck

The world spinning and we're orbiting

Around each other's body
Trying to align the dots

It was too much
Oh, luck

So I say, come

Mess me up

Make me fall for you
I've surrendered

I look for a way out
You're the way out, baby

I say, come

Mess me up

Make me fall for you
I've surrendered

You're gonna slay it. You'll see!

Pedro, three minutes.

-Okay.
-I'll let you focus.

LEAD SINGER: (SINGS)
It was too much

Luck

It was too much
Oh, luck

Come, mess me up

Make me fall for you
I've surrendered

I look for a way out
You're the way out, baby

I say, come
Come

Mess me up
Mess me up

Make me fall for you
I've surrendered

I look for a way out
You're the way out, baby

I say, come

(LEAD SINGER VOCALIZING)

LEAD SINGER: (SINGING)
I woke up thinking about you today

LEAD SINGER: (SPEAKING)
Thank you very much!

Thank you, really.

I'd like you guys to make a lot of noise,

a lot of noise for a person
I'll call to the stage now.

Pedro, come here, bro!

(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)

(SINGING) Look into my eyes
And say everything you have to say

Everyone knows
You can't hide

If there's something between us
We'd better work it out

Better late than never
I've been watching you and hoping

For you to notice me

I wonder what you think

About us being so distant

What do you need to see

That we're alike?

I wonder what you think

About us being so distant

What do you need to see

That we're alike?

Look
Our paths are the same

I don't think it's a coincidence

Far beyond our shallow pose

We can go deeper

There are no more secrets with you

Assumptions, other frequencies

To explain, I can be more literal

I want to tell you

That I want more from you

What do I need to do

For you to notice me?

I wonder what you think

About us being so distant

What do you need to see

That we're alike?

I wonder what you think...

That's funny, right?

I never imagined
my intern could be a musician.

-Your intern?
-Yeah.

PEDRO: (SINGING) ...to see

That we're alike?

I wonder what you think

About us being so distant

What do you need to see

That we're alike?

Look into my eyes
And say everything you have to say

You were amazing.
The crowd was very excited.

Thanks.

Can I let people in?
Or do you need some time?

Hold on a little bit, then let them in.

(WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPS)

Why don't you tell me the truth?

Why don't you tell me the truth?

Do you work at the label?
Are you Toni's intern?

Say something, did you lie to me?

I saw you kissing Vitão five minutes ago.

-It doesn't matter.
-What do you mean?

It's your life.

-Our life.
-Our life, my a*s!

We have no life.
I don't even know who you are.

At least we have something in common now.

I don't know who you are anymore.

You defend yourself by attacking me?

You're going to justify
lying to me all this time

about your profession, while you were
working for Toni behind my back,

and your explanation
is that I betrayed you. We were nothing.

My history with Toni is way more complex.

It's none of your business.

You lied to me
about breaking up with Vitão.

You spent a lot of days with me,
helped me take the stage,

and were kissing
that guy five minutes ago.

-Do you think that's normal?
-I was always honest.

I've always told you about Vitão!
You know we're breaking up.

-That's a breakup?
-Yes.

A relationship doesn't end overnight.

I'm ending things, I haven't ended them.

I've never lied to you,
we never made any deal,

and I don't owe you any explanation.

So that's what it is.

We had to sign a paper
to state we were together.

And I still don't know who you are
and what you did.

And I couldn't care less
about explaining it to you.

Okay. Me neither.

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING)

(SCREAMS)

(EXHALES)

(IN ENGLISH) "I hate the way you talk
to me, and the way you cut your hair.

"I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare."

(IN PORTUGUESE)
Butter, this is my favorite scene.

(IN ENGLISH) "I hate you so much,
it makes me sick. It even makes me rhyme.

"I hate it when you lie.
Even worse when you make me cry."

(IN PORTUGUESE)
This is my favorite scene.

(IN ENGLISH) "And mostly, I hate the way
I don't hate you."

(IN ENGLISH)
"I hate the way I don't hate you."

-"Not even close."
-"Not even close."

-"Not even close."
-"Not even a little bit."

-"Not even a little bit."
-"Not even a little bit."

-"Not even at all."
-"Not even at all."

(WHIMPERING)

(IN PORTUGUESE)
Ana, what desperate situation is this?

-You'll die of sadness like this.
-That's exactly the plan.

Pedro, are you sure it's a good idea
to watch this movie tonight, bro?

I've hit rock bottom,
I might as well go deeper.

This is t*rture, man.

How could she do this to me?

After leaving the dressing room?

She kissed that guy in front of me?

It's too cruel, bro!

I don't want to take her side,

but you knew
they had a messy relationship.

I knew this, but I thought that after
going through what we've been through,

she would tell him about us. I don't know.

But did she tell you she had done that?

-No, it was just an expectation of mine.
-Yeah, that's the problem, right?

So, the solution for all life's problems
is not to have expectations.

Is that it?

But not having expectations
is an expectation.

Of not having it.

-So there's nowhere to run.
-Oh, God!

You and Ana need to get back together
because I won't put up with this!

How could he lie to me?
To us? All the time?

I don't know about that,
but Pedro is a nice guy.

He must have an explanation for this.

I don't know. If he does,
he made sure not to explain it to me.

-Did you ask him?
-Mmm-hmm. He said,

"I couldn't care less
about explaining it to you."

How mature. What about Vitão?

I don't know.

I don't know anything, Gita.

Ana,

why don't you make good use
of this blues you've got to write songs?

Instead of watching romantic comedies,

at least you could write a song,
and we could make some money.

Gita, you're too young to be that greedy.

For God's sake!

(BUTTER WHIMPERS)

Butter agrees.

(LAUGHING)

(PLAYS PIANO)

(ANA PLAYS GUITAR)

(SINGING) I know
I took a while to arrive

But if you only knew
How I regret it

I have no words
I don't, to explain

I missed the route
I went off the radar

But I see it in your face

There's still time

Even if everything says no

There's still time to make you happy
And make me happy too

To show you that there is a way to happen

Repeating myself saying

Remembering that it's you

That increases the size of the world in me

I know I took a while to arrive

Is there time yet?

(PLAYING PIANO)

Why the long face?

It seems it's been 15 days
since you got out of the house.

Is this because of a breakup?

PEDRO: We didn't even have a relationship
to have a breakup.

I was promoted,
and Toni was fired. Simple as that.

PEDRO: Coup d'état?

Pedro, I'm not the bad guy, okay?
Do you want to be a musician?

I've always wanted to be one.

Mmm-hmm.

Your music is okay. A little rough
around the edges, but you're talented.

PEDRO: Thank you.

That's why I want to make you an offer.

Tomorrow, I want you at the studio,
at the label at 10:00.

Don't be late, okay?

If you impress me,

you could become the new artist
of the label.
