men sucking up to them.

I just love romantic men.

Hey Ben! I'm out of gas.

Give me a push from behind?

Yeah, sure.

"Hail holy Queen,

mother of mercy!

Our life, our sweetness

and our hope.

To thee do we cry,

poor banished children of Eve.

To thee do we send up our

sighs in this valley of tears.

Turn then, most

gracious Advocate...

thine eyes of mercy

towards us.

And after this our exile

show unto us Jesus."

8 YEARS OLD

- Rats ate people...

the starved came

from the swamp region.

The mystery of the she-rat,

panic at the ranches.

- Only the Shadow can...

- Paulinho!

- What is it, mom?

- Paulinho!

- Today, 10 p.m...

- Your father, son...

your father's here.

The new jets are coming!

- Hi, son.

- Hi dad!

- Hi darling.

- Hi darling.

Shooting Star,

jets like shooting stars...

ten 50mm machine guns...

five rockets

and a 900kg bomb!

Top speed 500 miles an hour...

go fly, son!

F80's, I'm going

to fly the F80, hon!

That's marvelous!

Well, it's better

than the Vampire...

remember the Vampire...

- You'll be promoted!

- Which dived like this...

And me too.

- I've got news!

- Dive, an inacredible dive!

I'm looking for a job.

Hon, I've got to work...

I've got to work.

Paulinho's turning 8.

Remember when we met...

I was the best secretary...

Son, I was the best secretary...

at the Industry

Workers Institute, right?

- Right.

- I'm so happy...

we're all growing

in this home, everyone...

me, you, Paulinho.

We can travel, hon,

to the USA...

we can earn money together!

I'm so happy!

Don't talk nonsense, darling...

you don't need to work.

I want you home with my son.

Paulinho needs you.

We have time.

Turn down that radio!

Let's have dinner.

Have dinner served.

Have dinner served, Sofia.

Lurdes! You can serve dinner!

Oh, I love that song.

Are the stars out tonight?

I don't know

If it's cloudy or bright

Cause I only have eyes

For you, dear

The moon may be high

But I can't see a thing

In the sky

Cause I only have eyes

For you

And I only have eyes

For you

You ever thought of

becoming a movie actress?

Oh sure, as if.

Oh but you could,

of course you could.

What about you,

flying solo now?

- Sure. Even doing acrobatics.

- Yeah?

Yes, I fly down...

flying from high up...

with the wind...

like in the movies...

- Sure, I saw "Hell's Angels".

- Really?

Yeah, but I prefer romantic movies.

Did you see "Wuthering Heights"

at the Odeon?

You bet I did,

it's wonderful!

Really?

Remember when Cathy

snubs him...

at the chic party...

just because he's a stable boy...

- but then she regrets it.

- She runaway...

- She stands before the mirror...

- Yes...

Exactly. With remorse, right?

Yeah, she tears herself...

she tears her party clothes...

and starts crying...

I cried too, then

she runs after him...

"Forgive me, Heathcliff, make...

the moors never

change and you and I...

- never change", remember?

- I do.

He tells her:
"The moors and I

will never change, Cathy".

And she says:
"No matter

what I ever...

do or say, this is me now...

standing on this hill,

this is me forever!"

"This is me forever!"

It's beautiful!

Yes... so beautiful.

The soup's too salty,

it's inedible.

And you, why don't you

want me to work?

I don't want you on the street.

When we married

I had to break off...

all my friendships...
