02x04 - Head up high or dead, never on my knees

[bunniefuu]

Hi, Stefania.

-Hi, Cassandra.
-Hey, honey.

-Shall we?
-Look at all this.

I'm in a hurry.

Come on, Cassandra.

Thanks, babe. See you, sis.

-Got everything?
-Yes.

-Did you get your phone?
-What's the rush?

Tell me you didn't miss
my morning grumpiness.

I missed it terribly.

Or when I'd leave my wet towel on the bed,

eat all your yogurt.

Stealing my hormones.

Sharing, not stealing.
You're more privileged than me.

Darling, my life is great.
Just marvelous, okay?

God forbid I ever
get on that bike with you.

We'd find a way.

Yeah, right. I'm calling a car.

I was gonna buy something else,
but I'll go home.

What is it?

Oh, no.

-What's the matter?
-For the love of Goddess!

-Gosh.
-It's broken.

What do I do now?

September Mornings

I need to take a better look at it,
but I think this engine's gone.

Don't say that, Raul.

I could jerry-rig something.

So it'll last another week?
I've been doing that.

You should get a new bike.

sl*t, I gotta go.

I'll help you.

-I'll be right back, Raul.
-Got it.

-What now?
-I can't buy a bike right now.

My rent is due this week.
I owe Jalil for the paint job.

And I spent the money
I had left going to Curitiba.

You know what I'm thinking?

Since you're having a Vanusa crisis,
why don't you do a new show?

You wanna talk about this now?

Now's the worst time
for you to quit the show, girl.

You know what I'm saying?

What will you do with no bike or show?

I know! Come work with me at the bar.

It's gonna be fun.

I hate dealing with people.

Come on, sweetheart.
Think about it. Why not?

Don't you need money?
I need someone there with me.

You think it's easy running a club?

Bernardo helps me now and then.
He's such a darling.

But I need someone full time.

My car's here.

I'm worried about you.

Don't worry, I'll be fine.

It's Leide's Lunch Boxes!

Just 15 reais!

Want some barreado today?

Fresh and warm! 15 reais!

What about you, girlfriend?
Yesterday's was great!

Don't you want some? Leide's Lunch Boxes!

An exclusive dish from Morretes!

ZECA BIKES
DOWN PAYMENT - 1,200.00

-Hey, good morning!
-Good morning.

-Like it? It's a beauty!
-I do, but it's expensive.

It's brand new.

Is there one with a lower payment?

Come here.
The minimum down payment is 800.

That's the minimum.

-Here. What do you think?
-Still a little steep.

How much do you have? Straight up.

I have 600.

Just 600 won't cut it. 600…

Listen, if you're approved for a loan

in five business days,
we'll deliver it to you.

Five days is too long. I can't do it.

-But thanks, anyway.
-Think it over.

I might come back.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Think about it. I'll be here.

Thanks.

I've been thinking…

What?

Should we go see a doctor?

-A doctor?
-A geriatric doctor.

A geriatric doctor?

-Yeah.
-That's for old people!

I've been thinking about Cassi.

You know?

I think the trip changed her.

Wanna play?

There was cake, fudge,
sweets, sloppy joes.

There were soft drinks.
So much food, honey.

Unlike last year, right?

We didn't even have cake.

-We had hot dogs in the car, remember?
-That's true.

With all the toppings.

And candy popcorn too.

It's my first birthday with Cassandra.

Look, we'll see…

Perhaps…

If I sell all these lunch boxes…

If that happens…

I'll throw you a party
at Décio and Ari's place.

-How about that?
-Really?

-So?
-Can I invite my friends from school?

Well, maybe not everybody,

but I think we can have Grazy
and a couple of other friends.

What about that? Party!

To me, a perfect party

should have regular coxinhas
instead of mini coxinhas.

-Wow!
-That would be awesome.

That's true.

I wouldn't invite annoying grown-ups.

You know, the ones who pinch
your cheeks and say,

"Oh my, how you've grown!"

-But if they bring good gifts…
-Yeah, true.

If it's cash, we can buy what we want.

Who are you gonna invite besides me?

-Who says I will?
-Don't be silly!

-Are you inviting me?
-I'll think about it.

Gersinho!

Just kidding.

The X-ray and MRI exams are normal.

And everything is fine, clinically.

The cholesterol is a bit too high.

Are you sure there's nothing wrong?

He's afraid I have Alzheimer's.

No, don't worry.

Some forgetfulness and mental confusion
are normal with age.

-You said you're a musician?
-Yes.

That helps a lot with brain activity.

Also, physical activity is crucial.

I already enrolled him
in a water aerobics class.

And how's it going?

Aside from the ridiculous swim cap
and speedo…

-Stop. They're not ridiculous.
-They are.

Thank you, doctor.
You don't know how relieved we are.

-Anytime. Just press "P".
-Okay.

-See you next time.
-They're not ridiculous.

-We'll stop by the mall and get them.
-I'm gonna get wet.

All that for just a few days a week?

Mom, it's school stuff.

It'd be great to get to school quickly
instead of taking two hours…

I can see that I'm gonna be
rotting here by myself.

Rotting? Yeah, right.

I ran into Cibele.

She said you were playing cards
and drinking beer last night.

What should I have done?

Stayed home feeling sorry for myself?

Besides…

I needed someone to listen to me.

I'm still your mother.

Who wants some more?

Today I have our specialty!

-Barreado.
-Barreado again?

Come on, buddy.
Don't say that, not you too.

Leide, if you want
to make it in the business,

you need variety.

Who has time for that?

Buy one today to help me out.

I like your barreado, but not everyday.

I almost fell asleep with clients here.

-It's very heavy.
-All right.

Next time, then. Bye.

That one is 15 reais.

-Hi, Cassandra.
-Leide.

I can't pick up Gersinho today.

What? Say that again.

I can't pick up Gersinho
from school today.

No, Cassandra, you have to!

My bike broke down.
I had to sell it for cheap.

Listen, I can't. Okay?

Neither can Décio and Ari.

Find a way, Cassandra.

How wonderful, Cassandra. Congratulations.

Remember that you're in this situation

because instead of listening to me,
you went on that ridiculous trip.

What's with the bicycle?

My bike broke. I sold it.

For 600 reais. Can you believe it?

You're kidding.

What's worse is
I have to renew this every hour.

I'm out of cash. I have few deliveries.

I'm f*cked! f*cked!

Here.

Thank you.

I can help you, Cassi.

How, Ivaldo?

You're moving. You're strapped for cash.

I found an apartment. I was there.

I need to pick up
some stuff at my old place.

You could move in with me.

You wouldn't have to pay rent which helps.

I have a home, Ivaldo.

What I need is money. Money.

Maybe my manager
can get you some deliveries.

-But on a bicycle…
-What's wrong with that?

I don't know.
You can't carry much on a bicycle.

Of course I can!
I'm riding this all over São Paulo.

We'll talk later.

-Won't you finish your food?
-I have to work, Ivaldo. I need money.

Check out the lunch boxes!

Barreado! Traditional dish from Morretes!

Now in São Paulo!

10 reais! Leide's Lunch Boxes!

-Just two reais!
-Want one?

-Thanks.
-It's on sale.

What about a lunch box? Lunch box?

So, how's it going?

I thought I would sell them easily.

All this for nothing.

A big f*cking loss.

Look, I got a good potato chips scheme.

-Yeah?
-Real cheap.

Do you want in?

Thanks, my friend,

but I need something more stable,
you know?

I'm tired of this uncertainty.

Thanks, anyway.

Chips, snacks?

Is this your life now?
Playing mom, erasing yourself.

Leave me alone, Vanusa.

Hi, Auntie.

-Where's the bike?
-I sold it.

-Why?
-It broke down. Let's go.

-Bye.
-Bye.

I'm too big.

Get on. Come on.

Get off.

The problem is my backpack is too heavy.

The problem is right here.

Actually, you know what?
I'm in this mess because of you.

I don't know why I took that f*cking trip!

Let's go!

Son?

Look, if you want, we can go for a ride.

One last ride. What do you say?

Sure.

Come help me.

Come on.

Get the soap and wash this side.

Soap it up as I wash.

Why didn't I think of it before?
Right, kiddo?

If I sell the car,

we'll have some money
to get by for a while

until I get a job and all that.

And, of course, I'll set a bit aside for…

Your party, dude!

You don't have to.

What do you mean?

I don't want a party.

What happened, Gersinho?

You look sad since returning from school.

Nothing happened, Mom.

Hey.

Dé…

You should accept
Roberta's invitation to do a show.

Nah…

I like playing with Cassi. You know that.

Honey, when you get onstage
to do your show,

Cassi will go nuts.

She'll want to get onstage too. I'm sure.

Most importantly, I want to see you sing.

You see me sing here everyday.

Here. But I want to see you sing onstage,

doing your own show,

with your own costume, lighting,
and everything else.

A solo show.

Why now?

Well… Because we're alive.

I've told you before, Décio,
I want to see you shine.

And I wanna add something
to your set list.

Our song.

I'll think about it.

ORDER CANCELLED
DELIVERY CANCELLED

f*cking sh*t.

sh*t, Cassandra!
Look what you did to Gersinho.

He was so excited for his birthday before.

Tell me this is a joke, Cassandra.

Spare me your drama.
I need to work. My bike is broken.

I have to pay rent, build my independence.

Isn't that what you taught me?

"Head up high or dead, never on my knees"?

Cassandra, what's this?

You got rid of our picture.
Now you're selling my records?

Cassandra? Come back here! Cassandra!

How long have you had it?

Since I was a baby.
It's only been in my family.

The upholstery's old.

But that's easy to fix, right?

You don't find
a car like this lying around.

This is a classic!
It's a collector's item!

You'd be getting a car
that's one of a kind

including all the love that went into it.

That's so worth it.

How much do you want for it?

Relax. Let's look at it first.
Then we'll talk about that.

You've seen that, right?
Take a look at this engine.

Oops.

There you go.

Look at this beauty!

Look. This is the impulse coil.
It's brand new, original part.

Radiator, spark plug, air filter, battery.

I had the oil changed. Tiptop shape.

What do you say?
This little guy deserves respect, right?

It's been handled
with lots of love and care.

Yeah.

-Let me ask you something.
-Sure.

Have you ever worked in sales?

I'm Décio's friend.

I know you.

Décio took me to see your show.

-I loved it.
-Really?

I think you're an amazing singer.
Really good.

Thank you.

Why do you want to sell this?
It's a rare item.

It was me who walled myself in
and guarded myself outside

It was me who...

I'd like 400 reais for them.

That's too steep for me.

But you just said it's a rare find.

Yes, it is, but I'd have to increase
the resale price. It'd be tough to sell.

I can offer 150.

No. I need 400. Please.

How about 200?

Is that what I'm worth to you? 200 reais?

It was me who in spring
saw neither flowers

All right.

Nor sun
on September

Thanks.

Mornings

I hope you understand
what you've done, Cassandra.

Bye.

I want to go out
I want to speak up

I want to teach the neighbor to sing

On September mornings

On September mornings

-I'm gonna steal your pile since it's big.
-Take that!

That's no fun.

I was saving the Joker.

You just learned how to play.

Your turn, Dedé.

You guys.

Gersinho,
you know my box of Santos memorabilia?

Yes?

If I leave it with you,
would you take care of it?

-Why? Don't you want it?
-Are you crazy?

I mean, in the future.

-Will you take care of it?
-Yes, of course.

Then give me that pile.

Jeez. You were saving the Joker too.

-I lost my pile.
-What about you, honey?

How about your guitar?

What about it?

Who gets your guitar?

I can leave it to Cassi.
What do you think, Gersinho?

Wouldn't that be nice?

I don't know.

I've got food!

My goodness!

Did you win the lottery?

Almost. I sold my car!

My God!

For real, I did it!

Such wonderful news!

Only you, Leide,

could sell that jalopy.

And it was a good sale.
I got more than I expected. Nailed it!

What about you, Décio?
How did it go at the doctor's?

At the doctor's?

It was great. Only the good die young.

You're pulling my leg!

This one is margherita.
And I saved the best for last.

You may now congratulate
the newest car saleswoman in the area.

I start tomorrow!

That's fantastic! Hooray!

Son, no more bad times, okay?

Get ready.

This will be the best birthday
you've ever had!

-Cheers to all that!
-Cheers!

Gorgeous!

-Good evening.
-Good evening.

-Good evening!
-Good evening!

Are you ready for the best night

of the rest of our lives?

My love was true

Yours was a pirate's love

My love was gold

Yours was nothing but scrap metal

My love was a river

Yours wasn't the slightest stream

My love was purebred

And yours was simply a mutt

Ex-my love

Ex-my love

If your love were on sale
it wouldn't even sell for 1.99

A shot of whiskey.

A shot of whiskey, please.

-What?
-A shot of whiskey.

Ex-my love

If your love were on sale

it wouldn't even sell for 1.99

My love was true

Yours was a pirate's love

-Who else wanted a beer?
-I need ice.
