Casa Grande Page #2

Synopsis: Seventeen year old Caucasian high school senior Jean Cavalcanti, who attends a well regarded private boys' school, lives a relatively carefree life of moderate privilege in a security monitored and locked and gated big, custom built house in an affluent neighborhood in suburban Rio de Janeiro with his parents, Hugo and Sônia, fourteen year old sister Nathalie, and a houseful of servants including live-in maid Rita, black evangelical cook Noemia, and chauffeur Severino. Hugo and Sônia are too preoccupied with maintaining their upper middle class lifestyle to do much direct parenting with the exception of ensuring that Jean and Nat play their proper roles to the outside world, such as making sure that Jean gets into a good post-secondary program, something that Jean places little real effort. Not doing well on the college entrance exams may be a problem as the government has just implemented a quota system to balance the inherent disadvantages faced by non-Caucasians. Because of his pare

- Sorry, sweetie. Tell me?

- Nothing, let it slide.

She wants to know if you are for

or against the quota system.

Quotas?

Of course, I am for them.

Sure, darling.

The USA has a quota system, right?

They call it affirmative action.

There's a reason they are

the world's largest economy.

Although what should be done

is the groundwork.

Starting with public schools.

There you go.

Can I have some meat, please?

Good morning, boys. Hey Jean.

Everybody sit down. Jean!

My bad. Sorry.

Hows everyone?

Good morning, teacher.

Good morning, boys. So...

Yesterday we got some important news...

for Brazil and for us.

Who caught that?

I did.

It was the approval

of the constitutionality...

of the racial quotas

by the Supreme Court.

By the Supreme Court of Justice.

Well done.

Discussion is open.

What do we think?

It's lame.

No developed country has this.

Of course they do. The US is developed,

and they have quotas.

You're way off.

So Jean, what do you think?

- My thoughts?

- Nelson is against. You?

Are you for or against?

- Are you for or against?

- No, you?

- I am for it.

- Then so am I.

No, I want your opinion.

Go ahead.

To be honest,

I don't have an opinion yet.

Who does?

The idea is to compensate...

a historical debt to "slaverism."

You mean slavery. You think it's a way...

Thus you are in favor of the system?

Kind of.

Let's go. Who else?

I'm completely against it on the basis

of equality between human beings.

I, for one, am black...

and I feel perfectly capable

of running against my white peers.

Now you raised an important issue.

You know you will pass,

because you are here...

along with your colleagues.

Sew...

How do I move past the kiss?

I know how to approach girls...

but how do I get her home?

You know what I mean.

I'll bring you to the whorehouse.

I've been already,

but now it's a matter of honor.

I want to win a girl over.

Easy, I'll bring you to the forr dance.

No way. Do I look like the forr type?

Prejudiced against forr?

Not prejudiced, it's just not my style.

I'm trying to hook you up.

If what you want is to find a girl,

I'll bring you to the forr.

You will score there. Start dancing

with a girl, hug her tight...

Start pecking at her neck, her ears...

Then she'll notice something stirring

in your pants and it's a home run.

But you have to go full on.

Otherwise you may get smacked.

Because women like men.

Any questions?

I'm off.

- Where to?

- Fosfobox.

- Isn't that a gay club?

- I don't know.

- Yes, it is.

- It's not gay anymore, it used to be.

Who with?

Nelson's father is picking me up.

- I didn't know you two were friends.

- He's the only one from the West Side.
