01x07 - Tartarugas

[bunniefuu]

Want to get out of here?
I'll leave with you.

The only side I'm
on here is yours.

PREVIOUSLY

Thank you.

The play was a flop. I spent all
my money to produce that play.

Dude, come here. What's
your business model?

I've spent the entire day here,

only one person came in to
use the bathroom, then left.

This business model
is called bankruptcy.

Victor told me you're really
smart, that you're cultured.

Oh, he said that?

FROM FOOD TO LAMPS: A
FAMILY'S SUCCESS STORY

[Erika] The diner was
really popular, huh?

Wasn't your mom annoyed

when your dad decided to turn
the diner into a lamp store?

They invited Celo to be editor
in chief at a magazine in Lisbon.

So, it's decided, then?

You're moving to another country,
and just came to let us know?

I don't know if I believe this notion
of guys and girls being friends.

[Victor] I'd like to dance
with you before you move away.

- You like your best friend too?
- [Bia] I used to.

[Thais] Why did you
never get together?

[Victor] Marcelo is stealing you from me.
It's only fair I steal from him in return.

[Bia] Miss, can I get
a cream puff, please?

[knocks on door]

[grunts, sighs]

[knocking continues]

[chuckles]

Is this a dream?

Yes.

I mean, no.

I mean, I don't know. Are you
talking about me or the cream puff?

[laughs] I'm here.

In flesh and blood, and
probably very frizzy hair.

[both chuckle]

I think it's a ten.

Being with me is very difficult.

- Are you sure about this?
- Absolutely.

- But sometimes I forget to shower.
- That's okay.

I do not share food.

- I know.
- [laughs]

I snore.

- Not a problem.
- No, no, it is a problem.

Because it's not cute. I've recorded it.
It's like... I sound like a rhinoceros.

Is that okay?

[Bia] This is me now, living
in my happily ever after.

episode 7 Sea Turtles

RENT ME! R$2300
total, R$1690 rent

Every apartment I can
afford is falling apart.

You're nuts to look for an
apartment. Just stay here.

Fausto.

You're taking up the whole bed.

Mmm.

[sighs]

[snoring]

[Bia] The time a couple takes to adjust
to each other's lives is also beautiful.

It's like a ballet we
dance over several nights.

Honey, grab some paper
towels for me, please?

Honey?

[laughs]

Ooh, I am not mature enough
to hear you call me honey.

[panting, moaning]

[flatulence]

That was not me. It wasn't... I mean,
it... Uh, it was me, but it wasn't...

- I know, I know, I know.
- Okay.

- [kisses]
- Ow!

Ow!

- [chuckles]
- Sorry, sorry, sorry.

- Did that hurt?
- No, it's all right.

- Sorry, I felt ticklish. I...
- It didn't hurt.

Ow!

- [chuckles] It's okay. It's okay.
- [gasps]

Aw, f*cking hell. No way. No.

- No f*cking way.
- I'm sorry. Yeah, that was bad.

[phone beeps]

Love on the Bones Jamile XXX

[pop music plays]

The Greatest Love Jota Quest

[song changes]

[moaning]

Did you just fake an orgasm?

No, of course not.

[clicks tongue]
f*cking hell, Victor!

Wait, Bia.

I'm sorry, but there's just no way
with this song, don't you think?

We're not adjusting, are we?

I thought it would be easier.

We'll adjust to one another. Trust
me, it's just a matter of time.

Do you think maybe we were
meant to be just friends?

Maybe we're both nuts and
trying to force something.

- No.
- We've always been friends.

We know how to be friends.
What we have is beautiful.

- No, no, no. Mmm.
- It's... It's great.

Everything is
great. I'm so happy.

We'll learn to be a couple.

- [sighs]
- So I don't lose you,

I will learn to keep an erection even
when I'm listening to Jota Quest,

or any other
soundtrack. [chuckles]

- I promise.
- [sighs]

[kisses]

Are you attracted to me?

Bia, you are the most
beautiful person in existence.

Every living being
is attracted to you.

Plants begin photosynthesis
when you walk by them.

[both chuckle]

[Bia] This is me now.

Awoken from a dream
and in the real world.

I tried to be an actress, theater
director, writer. Nothing worked.

But what is a dream life?

Well? Can influencers
act? #realtalk!

Success? Money?

Going for a swim with the rising
sun = the secret to happiness

I had the love of my life.

Even with all our problems, it was like
we were the only two people in the world.

Like nothing could ever get
in the way of what we had.

At least until the day when I
started suspecting that us two

were not just us two.

[phone beeping]

Please wait while we
update your period tracker



Now this could actually be
the b*mb that destroys us.

Hold on, wait. My
cycle lasts 35 days.

My period was supposed to
start on the 12th. Twelve, 13…

And today's still the 18th, Bia.

Holy f*cking sh*t! [gasps]

But last year there was a month

when I was, like, four days late,
and everything turned out fine.

Oh, my f*cking God. Oh, f*ck.

f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

I cannot be pregnant. There's no way.
I broke up with Marcelo a month ago.

And you and Victor? How
long have you been together?

- A month.
- [chuckles]

Holy f*ck! Holy f*ck! [sighs]

f*ck, f*ck, f*ck. If I'm pregnant, it
could have been either one of them.

Bia, relax, man. Have you been
feeling stressed over anything lately?

Your new job? I don't know. Stress
makes your period late. It's a fact.

- [door opens]
- Wait, wait, wait. Bye.

[line clicks]

- Hi.
- Hi.

- [door closes]
- [lock clicks]

How were things at
the store today?

[sighs] Emptier than a
butcher shop on Good Friday.

Wait, let me... I really need to
go to the bathroom. Be right back.

[door closes]

[phone beeps]

Girl, sorry, I had
to go. Uh... [sighs]

Girl, please, buy me a test
and bring it to me tomorrow.

Please, I can't
do this on my own.

I love you. Bye. Sorry.

[sighs]

[intercom ringing]

[sighing, grunting]

Did you order anything?

[ringing continues]

It's probably the mother of
that lady from the ninth floor

who always mixes
up our apartments.

She'll give up.

[sighs] f*ck, what kind of person
insists on ringing so long on a Sunday?

Sunday? What day
of the month is it?

[ringing continues]

sh*t, today is Sunday the 19th.
I forgot! Holy f*cking sh*t!

[Bia] What happens on the 19th?

I had totally forgotten.

- [chattering]
- Ah! Vivi!

- Hey!
- Vivi.

- Hi.
- Hey, hey, hey!

[clamoring]

- [Bia] Wait a sec.
- Let's go. I'm hungry.

- Lunchtime was ages ago.
- [Bia] What is happening, Fausto?

I scheduled this
before you moved in.

My grandma's been tearing
into me, pressuring me hard,

saying I'm the only grandson who never
offers family over for her birthday.

And she's been super depressed
since Grandpa Celso died.

- I felt bad for her.
- [ringing continues]

No, w-wa-wait a
minute. Oh, sh*t.

- I can't even take a shower.
- [Victor] Hello.

- He...
- [beeping]

You have to stop pushing the
door, Mom. Wait, stop pushing.

[clamoring]

- Oh. Hallelujah!
- I'm sorry. The intercom is broken.

- Oh!
- Hi. Come in, Grandma. Come in.

- Vivi!
- Hi, Mom.

[mother] Hi, honey. Where
should I put this? How are you?

- Hi! [chuckles]
- Hi, how are you?

Happy birthday, Grandma.
I miss you so much.

You're too skinny, child.

Vivi said you're an actress.
Are you in any soaps?

[chuckles] No, I'm not.

Vivi, let's talk
about that store.

Are you famous?

Famously in love
with your grandson.

- [both gasp]
- [grandmother] My God, what a boring girl.

You know that place belonged to
our side of the family, don't you?

I brought a little something
for my sweet daughter-in-law.

Oh, my God! You shouldn't have.

I was at the store, dear. And
when I saw it, I thought of you.

Do you like it?

- I love it! I love it! How gorgeous!
- Ah! [laughs]

Put it on, put it on.
Let me take a picture.

- Now?
- Now, of course.

Look at that.

My God! You're a princess. Oh, wow.
Wait, wait, wait. You're a princess!

- So beautiful! [laughs]
- Come with me to our room? Quick.

Uh… U-Uncle, make yourself at
home. There's beer in the fridge.

Make yourself at home. Get
something from the fridge. Go ahead.

[chuckles]

[gasps]

You have any idea that I could be
hanging out with Giselle right now?

Becoming friends,
posting pictures.

Uh! [grunts]

[sighs]

Your grandma hates me.

She hates everyone. The only person
she didn't hate was my grandpa.

Your cousin hates me too.

Yeah, but my mom loves
you. I like the hat.

[knocks on door]

[mother] Son?

Vivi, is everything okay?

Everything is fine, Mom. I'm just
taking care of something with Bia.

If you're feeling sick, just tell
me. Mommy is here to look after you.

Doesn't it bother you how
your mother talks to you?

It sounds like she's
talking to a child.

You know, Bia, we have to try to see
the world from other people's eyes too.

My mom gave birth to me, you know.
To her, I will always be a child.

Okay, then. Vivi.

[mother] Vivi, answer me!

I hate that nickname. It sounds
like it's short for Viviane, man.

So say that to her, Victor.

What do you want me to say, Bia? "Mom,
I've grown up. Now I'm Mr. Victor."

I'm not saying that to
her. She's my mom, man.

If she wants to call me
cutie-pie, baby boy, that's fine.

It doesn't change who I
am. She's showing her love.

But doesn't it bother you? If
it bothers you, say something.

You have to be able
to set boundaries.

Bia, every family
is different, okay?

That's how my mom is. Your mom
is more distant. Same for you.

When you're a mom, you'll
have your own style.

I don't know if I
want to be a mom.

Okay, that's fine. I don't
want to be a dad either.

Why are we fighting?
We never fight.

Should I kick everyone out?

No.

You don't need to do that.

Come here, come here. Come on.

Let's make up, please.
It'll be over soon.

Let's try to turn all this
chaos into a way to have fun.

Okay.

Things can't get any worse.

[door opens]

- [Erika] Hi!
- [mother] I'm so glad you came.

[Erika] It's been
so long, hasn't it?

- Want anything to drink?
- [Helena] Oh, no. No need.

What are those two doing here?

[gasps]

- Oh, how... how great that you made it! Uh…
- [Victor] How are you?

- Hi. [kisses]
- We... We made plans to…

- To…
- [Victor] To?

To get acupuncture.

- Acupuncture?
- Yeah.

Bia, what the f*ck
is that on your head?

[shushes] My mother-in-law
gave it to me as a gift.

I'm afraid if I take it off,
she'll think I'm snubbing her gift.

Aw, I think it
looks great on you.

Me too.

Are you ever going
to serve lunch?

- I am. Wait up. Let me take care of that.
- [Erika] Oh, I'll help you, dude.

Wait up, Grandma. Have a seat.
Let me handle this. Wait a minute.

- How can I help, man?
- [Victor] Come here.

Oh! Thank you, thank
you, thank you.

No, thank you. Can you believe we
were going to go to a country house?

And hang out with
Erika's stoner friends.

Like, the mood would be that
everyone was going to drink some acid

- and commune with nature. Here.
- Uh-huh.

[sighs]

[Helena] Good luck.

Mrs. Ludovita. Do you want to
get a cereal bar from my purse?

- So you're not on an empty stomach.
- See?

- Relax a bit. Yeah.
- Hmm. Yeah.

Make yourself at home,
okay? Something sweet.

- [sighs] Thanks. Thank you.
- No problem.

[upbeat music
playing on speakers]

Have you seen Bia?

I don't know, Mom.
She must be inside.

My God in heaven. What a mess.

Honey?

Is everything okay in there?

[Bia] I'm fine. I... I'll be
right there. I'll be right out.

You're my daughter
too, now, you hear?

If you're not feeling
well, I can look after you.

[lock clicks]

[door closes]

It's just that I... I was
feeling a little nauseous,

but I'll go back to the
living room in a minute.

Mm-hmm.

SERENA TEST

I understand why you're worried.

I wanted to accomplish so
much before I had Victor.

- And now I can't...
- sh*t.

I can't anymore, you know?

Did Victor tell you I wanted
to be a marine biologist?

- No.
- [chuckles]

I have a degree in biology,

and I remember I was in college,
and a position opened up.

A project to help save the
loggerhead sea turtles.

[chuckles]

Have you ever heard of
loggerhead sea turtles?

I haven't had the chance.

They're the most
beautiful of all.

Beautiful.

And did you know their heads
aren't even that large?

[chuckles]

So I remember I
was going to apply.

And then I found out I was
pregnant and I didn't even try.

Life gave me certain choices
to make. I had to adapt, right?

Victor's father couldn't
just leave the lamp store.

And I couldn't just leave
Victor's father here.

[chuckles]

Do you regret it?

Don't you miss the sea turtles?

Bia, life is going to give
you lots of choices to make.

There's no right choice.
There's no wrong choice.

I think what matters most

is being surrounded by people who are
supportive, right? Of the choices we make.

And, honey, you're
part of my family now.

And all those people out
there are on your side too.

[both chuckle]

And to answer your
question… [chuckles]

Yes. I do miss the
sea turtles a lot.

[both chuckle]

Not large-headed at all.

Exactly.

[knocks on door]

- [Victor] Lunch is almost ready.
- [both sniffling]

Mmm.

Thank you. Thank you.

What?

Is everything okay?

I have to tell you something.

Holy f*cking sh*t.

[gasps] Holy f*cking sh*t,
not because you're pregnant.

For the f*cking sh*t I said to you
earlier. I totally want to be a dad.

- I didn't mean it.
- You totally want to be a dad?

I don't know what the right answer
is right now that won't make you mad

or insecure, and that'll
convey strength and confidence.

Please help me. What
do you want to hear?

Whatever the test result is, whatever
you want to do, I'm with you. I love you.

[sniffles] Even
if it's Marcelo's?

What?

Because my period is seven days late,
and this has never happened before.

I don't know if I'm pregnant, obviously,
because I haven't taken the test yet.

So I don't know whether or not
I'm pregnant, but I think...

I think this child is yours.

[sniffles] But could it be Marcelo's?
Yeah, it could be Marcelo's too.

[sobbing]

[sighing]

What can I do for you?

Stay here with me
while I take the test?

Of course.

[Bia sighs]

[Bia sighs, sniffles]

[urinating]

[toilet flushes]

Look.

If this is Marcelo's child,
I'll raise him as my own.

Of course, you don't
owe me anything.

If it really is his, I'll give the kid
a little camera to start taking pictures

of their melancholy friends
during recess at school.

And I promise to also welcome
the kid with open arms

when he comes home crying because
his girlfriend broke up with him

after he cheated on her.

[laughing, crying]

I will love this
child no matter what.

[kissing]

You just kissed my pee.

Ouch. I overdid it, didn't I?

- [gags] Wait up. [grunts, swishes]
- [faucet runs]

- [spits]
- [faucet stops]

[Bia] There.

It's negative.

What's the matter?

Did you wish it
had been positive?

It-It doesn't even matter
anymore. It's... It's...

Never mind.

Let's... Let's head back.

[faucet running]

[grandmother] It's beautiful. I can see
so much, so much I couldn't see before.

What's going on?

I'm so glad. [laughs]

No. No. Not there.

I have two things to tell you. Good news
and bad news. Which do you want first?

- The bad news?
- Your grandma took some acid.

And the good news?

This is going to be
her best birthday ever.

I've never seen this.
I've never felt...

Potato, potato, potato.

Mama, Mama. Take those
sunglasses off, Mama.

[chuckles] It's
too bright in here.

Pass me the salt, please.

- I think I know you.
- Yeah?

- Yeah. We were friends in a past life.
- Aw!

Get a grip, Mom. What are
you drinking, anyway, huh?

Stop that! You're so annoying.

- Can one of you please help me out here?
- Let's agree.

- You are annoying, right, Naldo?
- Unbearable.

What's going on, guys?
Even my wife is against me?

Well, if everyone's speaking
their mind, then I will too.

Vivi, it's time to
bury that old store.

You have to put that shop in the hands
of someone who knows how to work, son.

You are not a man who's going
to make that place successful.

Stop right there, Naldo. No one talks that
way about my Vivi. He knows very well...

Mom, I love you, but I don't
need you to defend me, okay?

And no one else in this family
is ever calling me Vivi again.

I don't like it, man. When I was a kid,
it was cute. Well, it's not cute anymore.

Everyone has limits,
and this is mine.

And, Uncle, the store is mine.

I know very well what I need
to do to make it successful.

I don't need help and I
don't need your opinion.

- Sorry about all that. Thanks for coming.
- [mother] It's no trouble, dear.

Thank you very, very mu...

When I thought I was
pregnant, I felt so scared.

I don't know. I started
thinking about all my dreams.

About everything I would
have had to give up.

But then I thought that I...

I don't believe I'll ever
achieve everything I want.

So then it would actually
be nice to have a...

an excuse for my failure.

Don't talk like that.

I'll figure out a way to actually
help you get an acting job.

[chuckles]

I really wish I could
get one on my own.

But I love that you…

[kisses, grunts]

…always try to help me.

And I know that I will
always have you by my side.

Even without a baby,

you're already my family.

Wait a second.

Where are you going?

[speaker beeps]

- What's this? What are you doing?
- [phone beeping]

Proving to you that I
can make any song sexy.

["The Greatest Love" playing]

[both laugh]

[chuckling]

[yelps]

Aw, I tried.

I tried.

[song continues]

[Bia] This is me now.

This is Victor now.

The two of us. Well-adjusted.

[song ends]

from the Web to
the silver screen

This young influencer
is the star

of the latest 7 o'clock soap,
"My Spectacular Family."

Does every advertiser's favorite
influencer have a future as an actress?

[Bia] Finding peace in a
relationship has changed me.

I feel at peace. I'm not desperately
looking for affection or connection.

I don't need to
look for anything.

I have the strongest
connection I could ever have.

I can think about other
things more clearly.

And I see the piece that was missing
from another part of my life.

[Giselle] For me, makeup is
like a drink with alcohol in it.

Even if there's a lot,
it's never enough.

Cheers.

Fausto!

I figured it out.
I figured it out.

Figured what out?

Your mom said that we need to
adapt to the choices life gives us.

That we can't sit and wish for-for
the world to adapt to what we want.

We need to adapt to the world.

- Huh.
- So then I had an idea.

Which might be a sh*t idea, but
it might be a very good one.

Can you bring Giselle here?
