- Cláudio: Rough day, huh?
- Carlos: Yep.
- Cláudio: You gotta learn to deal with those things. Come on, smile. Stay good. Give me a little smile. Yes. C'mon, tell me about it. How does it go with the girls, you with those tight pants and you got them all.
- Carlos: Sometimes.
- Cláudio: Nice pants.
- Carlos: Thanks.
- Cláudio: Where did you get it? You have a nice body! Can I see it? Huh?
- Carlos: [chuckles] Of course not.
- Cláudio: What's the problem? We're friends, aren't we? I just wanna see it. Aren't we friends? Let's try this: I'll stay far behind and you show me your ass, I jerk off and it's all cool. We keep this to ourselves. Huh? C'mon man, I just wanna see it.
- Carlos: I don't do that. And there's plenty of people looking around. C'mon.
- [Cláudio unzips his pants]
- Carlos: Just see?
- Cláudio: Yep.
- [Carlos turns back and starts to pull down his pants]
- Cláudio: Pull down more. More. Open up. Open your ass.
- [Carlos obey him, looking at Cláudio's face feeling awkward while the other man is masturbating. He stops]
- Cláudio: It's kinda cute... but it's not gonna do it for me.
- Carla: [the rat scene is being rehearsed and she snaps with what she sees] Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop it! Stop it, for Christ's sake!
- [to the play's director]
- Carla: What are you doing with this? What? Why would we want to see this? Why we keep going to hospitals to see people dying? This is cruel! This is torture, José Maurício! For what? For what? You don't rehearse. What you do are little sessions of cruelty right here everyday. And everyone here is cruel with one another too, all are small, petty. And you José Maurício... is very 1970's. You're very 1970's and you're old. What you do here is a 1970's method and that doesn't work anymore! Why putting people up to see this? Self pride? For what? Answer me José Maurício! Don't just stand there, answer!
- Cláudio: You were part of a great experience. Why don't you go there? Go up there and tell him. Be an actor!
- Carlos: I wanna talk too!
- Luis: [discussing in the background with a fellow actor] I'm poor too! So what, faggot?
- Carlos: So, that's how things go really! To play with us is what you want! And you want this?
- [moves his waist towards the art-director. She bursts into laughter]
- Carlos: Now I see it!
- [moves his butt towards Cláudio]
- Carlos: And this is what you want? Is that what you want? Yeah, my dear? The coffee. No one missed the coffee? No? I was there all on tubes and no one cared! I couldn't even explain what happened. You all just want to use me. You don't even know what you're doing here!
- José Maurício: Ma'am, I'm waiting for over an hour... wouldn't you know if he'll return?
- Secretary: Look, he had a meeting outside of here and I really don't know.
- José Maurício: But aren't you his assistant?
- Secretary: Yes, yes, I am his assistant.
- José Maurício: And you don't know if he returns?
- Secretary: Well, I don't take care of his personal agenda. I think he went directly to this meeting.
- José Maurício: Great! Great! So, you pick up the phone, call about this meeting and asks if he'll return.
- Secretary: Can't you leave a message?
- José Maurício: You can't call him? You don't know in what room is this meeting?
- Secretary: I'm not authorized to interrutpt him. Can't you leave a message?
- José Maurício: And he does not have a replacement who can answer for him?
- Secretary: His personal adviser.
- José Maurício: Great! So, you pick up the phone and call him.
- Secretary: But his adviser is on another meeting in the legal department.
- José Maurício: Listen here, ma'am: First: he was the one who arranged for our meeting; Second: he has to sign this liberation today; Third: is not a favor, ma'am, since we're talking about a budget already released by his boss; and now Fourth, ma'am, if he doesn't sign it today we'll have to wait for one month, ma'am; and Fifth, we're living under a monthly inflation or don't you know about that? And sixth ma'am: we're talking about a close budget, do you know that? And I'm gonna have to return here. Do you understand now?
- Secretary: [pauses and nods positively] I understand but I'm sorry... I really can't do anything.
- José Maurício: You're not gonna do anything? You can't solve anything? And what will be your next excuse? Huh? Or you just repeat the same thing? What, you're repetoire is over? I think you better think it over, think it over! Cos I'm gonna come back! See? I will come back!
