- Nice so see you back.

I went to the hospital three times

but they wouldn't let me in.

Look Eudes...

I'm going to tell you

something, man

I saw death close up.

I damn well saw death close up.

I spent a fortnight...

in intensive care dancing cheek

to cheek with death.

I want to show you something.

Oh my God, no, no, forget it.

That's a trophy, let's

say a tattoo.

You're just like some kid now,

got a tattoo on your chest.

Iolanda, ask Alice to join us.

Alice, sit with us.

You know, I've got

my eye on lvaro.

Really?

Yeah, he's drinking chasers...

I gave him an analgesic

and now he's drinking whisky.

It's only normal, him drinking his

whisky from time to time, but...

he has a broken foot.

Poor thing.

The Argentine asked me to dance,

we danced for a bit...

but then I felt uneasy

not dancing with lvaro.

I'm so used to it.

I'm just going to have

another look.

Hey you!

None of that!

Sorry.

They stick this thing

in you here.

God save us.

But you saw nothing?

Nothing, I was out cold,

anaesthetized.

Afterwards the pain's tough.

That's when you remember

your friends.

Dionsio I saw...

Dionsio I thought...

I saw this place, the hall...

saw you, my great friend...

the band, the maestro...

saw our girls.

Hi there, Dona Rita?

The table is reserved,

may I bring your bottle?

Please do.

Chico, Rita's bottle.

That one there, right?

That's right.

Hey, I'm talking to you, what do

you think you're staring at?

She's gorgeous, though.

Sure is.

She pulls up in a great big

foreign car,

parks at the mall,

the chauffeur waits.

She takes a taxi and comes here.

- Hiding from her husband.

- Exactly.

That's her alibi, the mall.

You think you've got

what it takes?

And why not?

- Like hell you have, old boy.

- Why not?

- You still packing it, are you?

- Sure I am, what do you think?

- Well, quite a difference.

- What do you mean?

You're no good but I like you

All I want to know is why

If your life were a movie,

which would it be?

- Rebel Without a cause.

- Very good.

Look, look!

He's so handsome,

just look at him dance.

- Just right.

- That kid's going to be famous.

- Wonderful!

- Told you.

So do you want to or not?

Yes, but let's negotiate

something. How much is it?

Six numbers, R$20.

No, R$20 for the whole dance

and I get to take him home.

Don't exaggerate, my dear.

Look...

There are five waiting

in line before you.

Half, half!

I'll catch you later.

Watch out!

Gorgeous!

Eudes really has a crush on you.

Given half a chance he'll eat out

of the palm of your hand.

Aurelina, women work with a

thousand push buttons...

We've all these switches...

To turn us on, you have to know
