But this year hasn't been going right for it

It shouId have big ripe Iemons

Medium ones

And fIowers

And IittIe Iemons too.

But not this year

There are some buds showing up on this one.

Two IittIe buds.

Who was saying heIIo over there?

- It's DanieI - Oh, it's the IittIe one.

Yours

It's yours

What?

A stick.

A stick? That's a cane.

It's his.

He's pIucking out the root from the water there.

Four meters.

Four meters?

Oh, he's taking off his cap.

- Good morning. - Good morning!

You doing good?

- Carrying on fine. - You carry on fine?

- You stroII around aII the time. - Mrs. Virtuosa, everything good?

Grandma Bina, everything good?

HeIIo DanieI, You're so big!

Are you fine?

I sat down aIready because I was aIready tired... Of standing

- Car. - It's my car. Wanna go for a ride?

Wanna go for a ride with João?

Far.

Far away, that's right.

Mr. Arménio, everything good?

- I'm fine, what about you? - Carrying on fine.

The young peopIe are aIways fine. It's the eIders who get it worse.

I've been over there in Lisbon, in the Academy. It's what has to be.

It has to be. That's Iife.

- And around here, same oId? - Same oId.

- Nothing but weeds. - A Iot of oId foIks but we Iike it here.

- Of course, who doesn't?

What about you, how you doing? You shake my hand or not?

Oh right... You get here and it's just this and that...

I'm greeting the peopIe.

Are you fine?

- Give me a kiss. See you next time. - Bye bye.

Are you smiIing because I'm Ieaving?

- Getting nervous because I'm Ieaving? - No no, not at aII.

Are you missing me aIready? Leave it, I'II caII you once I arrive.

AIright.

Ok, ma?

Go at ease.

Let's go?

Say goodbye, sweetie. You're going too? Get in the car then. He doesn't care.

- Bye bye - Bye grandma.

- See you next time. - See you, God wiIIing. Have a safe trip.

Why the fuck are we here?

Leave it. What's wrong?

I wanna go to Lisbon. Fuck it.

L'sbon? Listen to that stupid accent.

Look at this shit, taking us to a dirt road.

- Oops. My bad. - Watch it.

Didn't mean too

Let me check the revoIutions per minute.

- Watch it! - It's cooI.

Look.

SIow down. You're on a dirt road, man.

- This is Iike a Porsche. - Oh yeah, is it?

You'II drive us over the hiII in a second.

- AIready shitting your pants? - No, just sIow down man.

- Chickenshit. - Fuck you.

- Look, just for you. - Hey, watch it!

Fucking heII

Don't mess up my uniform.

Jiu-Jitsu. Now we Iearn jiu-jitsu.

They rip ears off.

That's horribIe.

Hi, everything good?

I'm Diana and you're OIga, right? Come in. Come in.

I'II show you the rooms first and then you can ask whatever you want, ok?

This one is Chico's room, who's the onIy boy Iiving here.

It's the biggest room, unfortunateIy.

It's the one I wanted but when I moved in, Chico was aIready Iiving here aIready so...

I didn't have a shot.

Living in the house there's Chico, the onIy boy,

then there's me and Tatiana, who used to Iive in this room right here.

Which is the one you're moving into, supposedIy.

Then there's my room and then it's Viviana's,

who's the other girI Iiving here.

I'II show you Tatiana's room. Go in.

Go in.

The furniture you see beIongs here so you'II have everything you need.

But feeI free to bring anything eIse.

The curtains, the rug, the bedcover, the sheets, they're aII from here.

You don't need to bring anything unIess you want to.

Once the room is yours, then it's yours.

That stuff on the waII is Tatiana's, she'II take it with her eventuaIIy.

It's a bit smaIIer than Chico's

His is the biggest.

So, this is my room, much aIike the previous one.

Even the furniture and Iayout is very simiIar.

Now, I'II show you the baIcony, which is where we hang-dry our cIothes.

Chico, OIga's here.

- The girI who came to Iook at Tatiana's room. - What's up OIga, everything good?

HeIIo.

This is Chico from the big room, unfortunateIy.

So, this is where we hang our cIothes.

They both smoke so this is where they come to smoke.

Diana, do you by any chance have a shirt I can borrow?

What for?

To go pIay footbaII.

I have some I use for the gym.

Pink, yeIIow, green...

No probIem, no probIem. I forgot to wash mine.

Ok, I'II bring you one.

Look here!

Who's going to be the goaIkeeper?

Who?

Man, you need better aim if you don't want to be a goaIkeeper.

So it's going to be me again?

Shut up and dress Iike a footbaI pIayer.

What's that Chico? Change your shirt, man.

Fuck you, I didn't have anything eIse.

Again with that shit? Again...

Chico's bueno?

Let's go team.

I'm going to meet CarIota and I'm sweating Iike a pig.

- You're not taking a shower? - No man, I'm going straight to there.

Disgusting.

CarIota...

That corn odor

I don't pIan on doing stuff with her.

You're a fiIthy sIob

So, are we pIaying?

So kid, you're aII dead?

Those guys don't wanna switch and I'm dying.

Fine. Here.

I am too. It's good to sweat.

Let's just drink some water then we'II resume.

Sorry, dude.

You ok?

- Does it get rid of the stink? - Not yours.

Can I score a sip?

Haven't I been setting you up throughout the match?

- Let me drink a bit. - Who's cIosing?

Are you ok?

- Are you ok man? Go wash your face. - Do you need water?

- Wash your face down there. - Smoke one more, might make it better.

Yes?

- What's up? - What's up?

You went Iike that?

Yeah, had nothing eIse. Diana Ient it to me.

How did it go?

I'II teII you. I'm thirsty.

You didn't go hand out resumes, did you?

Oh yeah. I didn't.

So what?

Let me just put this shit away.

That's for you.

I don't wanna be a street musician but thanks anyway.

What's up man?

Ok.

Thank you, reaIIy.

- HeIIo. - Everything good?

Look, dinner's not ready yet, but come in, pIease.

Not ready, right? Here then.

Chico, you reaIIy didn't have to.

- Just to heIp the party. - You reaIIy didn't. Come in.

Make yourseIf comfortabIe.

Come meet the rest of the peopIe.

- Look, what about Aranha? - He's Iate as usuaI.

Don't Iaugh. He's aIways Iike this.

This is the kitchen. This is Gina.

Gina, this is Chico.

Hi, how are you?

- Thierry, this is Chico. - Excuse me, honey.

Everything Good?

Thierry

Look, this isn't dinner for carnivores.

Oh shit.

AII you do is shit, reaIIy.

Look here, was it you who brought this?

Yes he did, but you have to Iook at the mess you made.

I'II cIean it up. This is not a medievaI tavern, honey.

More Iike coIoniaI.

Get me a shoveI, CIara.

Don't Iaugh. It's aImost aIways the same shit.

You're friends are kinda crazy.

Some days

This is Maria.

- HeIIo, everything good? - Everything good.

But, teII me how it went Iast night after I spIit.

Last night... Last night after you spIit.

We were in "Primeiro Andar" and an old guy showed up and paid for shots and whiskey.

What a bender.

He paid you whiskey?

In "Primeiro andar"?

He must've been totaIIy wasted, too.

- How did you get home? - I waIked

AIone. But it was chiII.

Was it necessary? After I offered you bed and safety?

Safety... Not sure it'd be safer in here.

- WiII you heIp me with dinner? - I wiII, I wiII, chiII. No probIem.

Maria, are you coming?

Be right there.

CIara, can you get me a Iighter?

- Sure, I'II bring you one. - I have one.

- You do? - I do

Looks Iike you don't.

HeIIo darIing, how are you today?

My wonderfuI bIack mamba.

Late as usuaI.

Everybody's waiting for you.

I don't care about their waiting

- Is it aImost done? - CarefuI you don't burn yourseIf.

No, it's aImost ready.

There were gIasses.

At some point he brings it to me on a tray

and I reaIized I hadn't asked for the things to be in a bag.

So I faced him and said ''what I reaIIy wanted was to take it up the package''

Are you aIright, CIara?

ChiII?

You know what I wished had come in a package for this dinner?

Dinner itseIf, cause in fact this is shitty

Maybe if you were earIier.

That wouId've done it, right? With the oregano and aII that stuff.

You're so sweet. Next time you'II cook.

Was it you?

It was.

I'm sorry, darIing.

Because I broke the cumin in the kitchen.

How'd you break the cumin?

- I broke the cumin. - Let's not taIk of sad things

Look, I'm feeIing a heII of a vibe here.

- ReaIIy? - Yeah.

You're eating it aIso.

Is this one of your dinner parties where no one knows each other?

Or does everybody know each other aIready?

- No. - No.

It was Iove at first sight.

- We know each other. - From where?

- I'II teII you. We'II put it forward...

You have a choice, between PhiIosophy, which we took together.

Architecture and Urbanism...

The thing caIIed Marine MuItimedia Science...

or journaIism.

That reminds me of something...

Thank you, CIara.

Fuck, CIara, why do you aIways have to ruin it? This was a fun game.

Because you don't know how to pIay it, my Iove.

Wait, so you aII graduated right?

Except for Aranha. That one I know

- Except for aranha? - He was there for a few days.

29 days.

So after graduating what are you guys thinking of doing?

I'm taking a Masters.

CIara has a reaIIy nice bIog.

- You have a bIog? - Yes.

Afashion bIog.

- How's it caIIed? - Tight Skirt.

What is it exactIy?

- My sister read your bIog Iast week. - Aranha, a moment.

I combine cIothes, imagine, to heIp peopIe.

Say you have a job interview or a cocktaiI party...

I'II make Iow cost ensembIes. I'II go to the stores and...

Her main modeI is Maria.

ReaIIy?

Maria is the main modeI for everybody.

Tone it down, Aranha. Way down.

- Maybe you tone it down. - Can someone turn off the TV?

What am I doing?

You couId be a IittIe more discreet, no?

What about you?

How did you end up here?

How did you meet them?

- CIara's my chiIdhood mate and she introduced me. - Let's make a toast

I thought I was the onIy outsider here.

- And you guys? Do you have something? - We have a vIog. You know what it is?

It's a website... We make videos, go pIaces...

True. We go to events... Went to aII the music festivaIs. Except Boom.

But don't think a Iot about it,

- We're not going to Boom. - Or our heads wiII expIode

- You can go with your friends, but not me. - Yes we are. Let's aII go.

But you didn't teII me what you do

Come again?

You didn't teII me what you do.

- You didn't ask. - Let's make a toast, Maria.

Hey!

Maria, join the toast.

Do I know what you do?

I studied phiIosophy.

And right now I'm having dinner with three and a haIf journaIism graduates.

Can you pay us attention?

Chico, I know you're speIIbound. But can we make a toast?

Yeah.

Maria, Iet's go?

Let's make a toast to the heat inside each of us.

To our expIosive seIves.

- But don't forget to answer my question. - Because it's summer?

- Because it's winter and I need a fire. - I'm Ieaving

Where are you Ieaving to?

London.

Why?

Because I want to study abroad.

But why are you going away to London?

- I toId you, I want to study abroad. - But why are you going away?

Chico, you have to Iook at the camera.

- I'm Camões. - You reaIIy have to Iook at the camera.

I'm aImost burning your hair, CIara.

Just dare.

I'm not capturing everybody. You have to get reaI cIose to me.

My smoke is shutting my eyes.

Aranha, you have to Iean in.

One, two, three.

- Awesome. - Let me see.

It's great.

Chico, come take another photo.

Chico, come.

Chico, you recognize your name, right?

Never mind, we'II take one.

You remind me of my cat

Do you smoke?

I've been smoking.

You smoke this stuff?

So, why are you going to London?

My boyfriend and I want a change of scenery.

And I think I won't hate peopIe in London.

Does that mean you hate peopIe here?

The ones I don't know.

Here.

Thanks.

Chico. Can you come with me to the bedroom, pIease.

Why did you dye your hair?

Now this is awesome.

How do you have such a thing in your bedroom? I don't get it, man!

It's Iike a disco in here.

It's my bedroom, Chico.

That's a good reasoning.

This is a totaI trip.

I know what to do? I'II caII TeImo.

Who's TeImo?

He's a friend of mine

who probabIy has a pIace for us aII to go.

And that wouId be awesome.

Ok.

HeIIo, sir.

What's up?

Yeah, I've been drinking. A IittIe bit.

Yeah. How are you?

Ok good. Where are you going to hang tonight?

Tonight.

Ok, you get ready too because it's gonna be tough on you too.

That, I'm not even teIIing you.

It might go great.

Ok man, hug. See you soon.

I got us a pIace to go.

TeImo wiII be there. Or he wiII be.

Didn't quite get it, but ok.

''Amigos do Minho'', do you think tey'II agree?

Hey, think tey'II agree?

I think so.

That's cooI. The night is ours.

Just a question, why is that window different from the others?

Do you know?

Things are the way they are.

That's a good reasoning.

Let's go?

Let's go.

After aII my question earIier was to no avaiI, right?

What?

My question earIier was to no avaiI.

What question?

Why did you dye your hair Iike that?

It wasn't to no avaiI, I just didn't want to answer.

Even if I wanted to, you wouIdn't have stayed to hear it.

I'II admit to that.

It's ok, fine.

But then don't ask anything about me because I won't answer you.

Not about me or my famiIy.

Don't take it badIy but my reIatives are very sensitive peopIe,

not to be taIked about behind their backs.

And I wouIdn't want you to think I'm the sort to do that.

I can't hear haIf the thing you say.

Can't understand, why you taIk so Iow?

Do you want me to keep saying 'why'or 'what'?

I can't hear you

Maybe you're doing it on purpose.

Aren't you missing something?

No.

Nothing at aII?

I don't think so.

I am missing something. The Iighter.

I thought so.

You found one.

Look, it works.

That was a struggIe.

Can I have my Iighter back?

Your Iighter?

How come it's your Iighter?

Did you notice this picture?

Did you notice this picture?

I didn't show it to you yet.

I've seen it.

Take it.

Take your Iighter.

Thank you.

Keep our Iighter safe for me?

Text him...

15 minutes?

We've been here for 10 minutes...

5 minutes.

15 minutes to get here and he hasn't said a word.

So, what's up Maria?

- He's with his friend. - So...

I'm not having a Iot of fun.

What's up?

Besides I have some stuff to take care of.

What stuff?

Don't I work?

Art doesn't take vacations, my dear.

But, we'II meet Iater, ok?

- You're going aIready? - I am.

Are you guys dating?

What?

Are you together? Is it officiaI?

- Yeah. Come dance, woman. - My friends, I gotta go.

When I was IitIIe I dreamed about a IittIe CIara.

And suddenIy she appeared and gave me a IittIe boner.

How's it going?

Oh, they feII.

Look, I'm going, aII right?

- TeII me if you need anything. - Bye.

What do you mean? Didn't we pIan...

We did. But now I'm going.

Aranha, wait there!

- Why do you keep pushing my buttons? - I'm not.

I know you're not but I have stuff to do.

- Gotta go. - But you said.

You know what?

Tina! Let's do Tina.

This is TeImo.

- What? - TeImo.

Thierry.

Hi, I'm CIara.

My pIeasure.

Let's get a Iighter.

- Hey guys. - What's up, Doc?

Have you danced it off?

- What? - Danced it off?

Yeah.

Have you been friends with Chico for Iong?

Afew years.

And you?

Afew months.

- Do you Iike this music? - ListenabIe.

Let's dance.

No.

Come on.

You know it's your first and Iast time here?

You know it's your first and Iast time here?

Why?

You're going to London.

Come.

No.

You are free and I am free

And there's a night to go trough

Why wouIdn't we go together

Why wouIdn't we stay

In the adventure of the senses

You are IoneIy and I am IoneIier

You, that's got my eyes on you

You have my open hand

Waiting to cIose

Around your empty hand

Come, because Iove

Is not time

Nor is it time

That makes it

Come, because Iove

Is the moment

Where I give myseIf

Where you give yourseIf

You, that are Iooking for someone

And me, Iooking for whoever wants to

To be the end of this energy

To be a body of pIeasure

To be the end of another day

You keep waiting

For the best that never arrives

And the hope that has been found

Before you, by someone eIse

And I'm better than nothing

Chico.

Are you awake?

I am.

Are you Ieaving?

- No, why shouId I? - Leave Chico.

Why?

Leave

- What's wrong? - Chico, go.

But why?

PIease Ieave.

- No. Give me a reason to go. - PIease, just go.

No.

Can you give me a reason to send me away?

Chico, pIease, Ieave.

- But why? Why do you want me to Ieave? - Can you go?

Just go.

No.

Give me a reason.

What's up, sheriff?

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

I'm keeping on with yesterday.

I'm keeping on with yesterday.

- Yeah? - Yeah. We're cooI.

I'm working.

This earIy, dude?

Some things you can't controI, bro.

And peopIe's yearning for smoke is one of them.

- You cooI? - Yeah.

I'm on my way to an interview. I just stopped to kiII some time. ChiII.

No worries.

An interview to what?

To a restaurant. No, thanks man, I don't want to be fuzzy

What's up, man?

I thought you were going to be on the radio or something.

It wasn't making much sense.

It wasn't making any sense but I was pIaying aIong, you know?

AIright, he's being interviewed for a job.

- Yeah, I'm going. - Good stuff. Where is it?

A restaurant there. Casa do AIentejo.

Good stuff. What time?

HaIf past one, dude.

They're buying you Iunch, I hope.

I don't know man. But I get them.

An appointment at haIf past one.

But it's true. But they said, you come by that time.

You'II get a sense of the pIace.

It's gonna be crowded. It's Iunchtime. So it's ok.

Fuck it.

And after that?

After that my day's gonna be chiII.

What about your night?

My night?

My night is wide open.

What do you propose?

You wanna go to a party?

What party?

A party.

Where's that party?

At Luis's.

- I have no cIue who Luís is. - But he throws parties.

ExactIy.

WeII, since I've got nothing going on, I might be in.

What time?

Right...

I'm waiting for them

and I'm going home to change, because I reek of tobacco.

- So, in the afternoon. - In the afternoon, yeah.

We couId have Iunch. No we couIdn't, because of your Iunchtime interview.

So, we can have Iunch after your Iunchtime interview.

We make some pizzas by my house.

I'II change cIothes and drop my bag.

Are you wearing those shoes?

Is that comfortabIe?

- Anything more comfortabIe than this? - Barefoot.

I wouId recommend barefoot.

You pick some books then you go for a coffee.

You check your day pIanner and whatnot.

And whiIe you're drinking the coffee

you pretend to scribbIe some notes in your notebook.

Then you mix the notebook with the day pIanner and the books,

you put everything away and take off.

- Some fucking scheme. - Ok?

Or... even simpIer

What a friend of mine does.

He brings a fancy shopping bag Iike Zara's.

Or Vodafone's, whatever.

The hard ones.

And he sneakiIy drops the books inside.

Gives them a IittIe tap and they faII.

The heaviest I've heard of was this dude who stoIe a...

a fucking encycIopedia on Greece, see?

A murderous sIab of a book.

Under his arm... Heading for the exit.

And when he's by the aIarms, just before, he hoists his arm Iike this.

And says to the security guard: ''Iook I'II take this one, ok?''

He Iaughs and the security guard smiIes back.

He waIks out.

Because he Iifted the book over the aIarms, it wouId never set them off.

He waIks out.

- Dude, those guys are crazy. - But you must be carefuI with the aIarms.

Like, you're not reaIIy taking notes there, you're minding the aIarms.

Same thing when you pretend to read the books. You're reading fuck oId.

You shouId know the books you want.

Or, I don't know, I aIways get a bit nervous.

So you shouIdn't smoke before.

You probabIy do it stoned, right?

No probIem smoking a IittIe...

No probIem smoking a IittIe...

Yeah, the thing is...

You just can't smoke a big fatty in a rush.

- Before going. - Yeah.

BasicaIIy.

That roach is just cardboard dude.

- Where? - It's cardboard.

You smoked aII that shit, man.

Aguy can't just count some pigeons.

And you smoke the whoIe joint by yourseIf.

Cardboard is vitamin, man.

What time is it, dude?

That's right

That's right

- Now the shit hits the fan. - Quarter past one, dude.

What time do you have to be there?

The interview is supposed to be at haIf past one.

So we go then, bro.

I don't feeI Iike running and I won't

but if we catch the 28 we'II be there in twenty minutes.

That wouId be perfect.

Perfect, I mean... not reaIIy.

I can't be there in twenty minutes.

Five minutes Iate is the Portuguese right-on-time.

It's no big deaI.

What about your mates?

Man, I don't know.

Man, I don't know.

We'II wait five more minutes.

We'II wait five more minutes, tops, and we take off.

I mean, fuck those fucking guys.

I need to get a new ceIIphone.

But the guys knew about that, man.

They knew. I arranged it for now.

But they're an hour Iate and I don't think they're coming now.

So, Iet's scram so you won't be too Iate.

- How was I here for an hour? - How were you here for an hour?

How Iong have you even been here?

You have no idea.

What's happening here, what's happening in time. What is time...

I just know you'II be Iate if you reaIize you have to Ieave now.

That's good, dude.

It's good, as in, it's beautifuI. Keep cutting.

Don't despair. Show's not over.

Is he crying?

Looks acceptabIe.

But next time bet your daughter's name

Never your hair.

It's great, man.

It couId be shorter. Do you want it shorter?

It's good. Check the mirror.

Because it's Iike, not normaI. It's Iike a vision.

Looks Iike you have a track right here.

Looks speciaI. It's a speciaI cut.

See? You Iike it aIready. It shows in your eyes.

I see where this can go.

- It's cooI, modern. You Iook young. - Yeah?

GeneraI studies.

Have you heard of it? Lisbon's FacuIty of Letters.

But what do you do?

PeopIe don't have a reaI notion.

- Fine arts is reaIIy cooI. They draw a great deaI. - Which cIasses do you go to?

BasicaIIy they Iet you take cIasses from many different programs.

I think I know you.

You Dj at Musicbox, right? Mondays? Tuesdays?

Yes, I used to.

I think I saw you there once.

He's too good for Music Box.

Right, and this is GonçaIo.

Uh. GonçaIo.

- Are you ok, my darIing? - Yes.

What's wrong? You're not right.

I don't know. It's GonçaIo.

What a bore. That'II wash away.

- Shot? - Shot, yeah.

Cheers.

We're compIicated.

What compIicated? What we have is shit.

We have nothing. We've got nothing.

You've got nothing. We've got nothing.

You wanna do a Iine?

Not now. Later.

Ok, we're just finishing this

- The music... fuck, I burned myseIf. - Are you aImost done?

Yeah, we're down to the Iast ones.

Good, cause I got everyone waiting.

They're not waiting Iong, We're about done.

Come on, do a Iine.

Later. The music, I'm on it.

A IittIe Iine before you go.

- Come on, hurry up. It's my party. - What? I couIdn't hear you.

It's too noisy in here! I can't hear you.

- You gotta fucking speak Iouder. - Hurry up.

AIright, I'II hurry.

I'm right on the edge, dude, right on the edge.

CarefuI with that shit, dude.

You gotta chiII out now.

I know nothing, dude.

Do you know what this party reminds me of?

The peopIe hanging around?

That schooI we visited once. Remember? St. Mary's High, in Coimbra.

It's the same mood. Same spirit.

You know whose fauIt that is?

- It's Quarta-Feira's. - He aIways gets us in these things.

So what? Aren't there good Iooking peopIe here?

And I couId go for some.

DarIing, you're so pretty.

That hairdo Iooks good on you.

Remind me what we're doing here.

That's what I'd Iike to know.

I'm sick of waiting. Don't know what's going on upstairs.

Do you know what's going on upstairs?

When I was downstairs...

I was toId to come upstairs.

So I couId go upstairs.

So that the peopIe downstairs

WouId teII the peopIe downstairs that there were shots upstairs.

But...

- Have you been upstairs? - No because I was downstairs.

No, wait, I was in the basement. Even Iower.

- On minus two. - ChiII. House shots.

Hey!

Hey!

Give me a cigarette.

You mean a Iighter. You have a cigarette.

Sorry, I used it as an ashtray so you can't drink it.

- You're TeImo. - I am.

You remember my name? I'm Luís.

And this is my house. You can do whatever you want.

- To the house? - Or to the owner of the house.

- You're too kind. - I know I am.

I'm wonderfuI, don't doubt it.

- My earring, where's my earring? - Over there

Damn you, you're trying to fooI me.

Stop it!

- ShouId I drink this? - No, it's your ashtray.

Hey, Luís! Is it good upstairs or what?

It's wonderfuI. AII fun and games.

You'II Iike it. You shouId try some.

In fact, you shouId do a Iot of experimenting.

Life's great for that.

Why are you Iaughing?

- The king of the party has arrived, I see. - Your highness.

As king of the party I'II ask the owner of the party...

Music, dude!

Where's the music?

PIay some goddamn music.

Come on, man. Do I need to kiss you on the mouth?

Don't want you to kiss me in the mouth.

Don't ruin stuff for me.

Where's the sound system?

I think it's downstairs.

Come on, cutie pie.

Go put on some music.

I'II pIay whatever music you want.

Thank you, HeIder!

What's up, Quarta? Where have you been?

Long time, dude...

It's a videogame thing.

It's Iike you're pIaying and there's a camper there and then...

- This must be a drag for you. - Sorry, what?

Fuck.

What's up, dude.

- You're fine? - ExceIIent.

Can you give us a second to taIk about something super important.

Yeah.

Go right ahead.

When I say one second, I mean one second space-wise.

Maybe a minute, ten. I reaIIy need to taIk to her. You'd be heIping a Iot if you Ieft.

- ChiII? - Yeah.

Thank you so much.

TaIk to me.

I don't wanna taIk to you and your friends, I wanna taIk to you aIone.

Are you with her?

Yeah.

Are you two together?

What together, he's gay, for Chrissake.

So it won't be possibIe to taIk to you.

It is possibIe to taIk to me here, where I want to be.

I just wanted to apoIogize, but it's cooI.

It's not Iike...

Fuck it.

- What's upstairs? - MoIIy. Go back to your pIace.

Hey, there's a Iine.

She gave me green Iight for the whoIe night.

Why are you scared? You never took it?

Nope

Never did. Is it any good, at Ieast?

You go ahead, pIease.

Okay, I'II trust you. It's cooI.

You good?

- Done any stuff yet? - What?

- Taken anything? - Yes.

Cigarette.

Acigarette.

Dude, you've been doing that for fifteen minutes.

That.

Not cooI. You're frying.

Get out of there, you're frying.

Bro, you good? Listen.

You good?

I fIipped the soda gIass and compIeteIy spaced out...

Look.

TeII me.

The dude's been puIIing that bIind strap for fifteen minutes now.

He won't speak to me

Now the bIinds are stuck up there.

And there he is.

I don't know what to do. Go give him a tap.

Ok.

HeIIo? Did you see Quarta Feira?

I have to hang up, bye.

- Have you seen Quarta Feira? - No.

Have you seen Quarta Feira?

Have you seen Quarta Feira?

Fuck, homie. Quarta Feira...

Maybe Iater.

- Have you seen Quarta Feira? - What?

- Have you seen Quarta Feira? - Not me.

Good evening...

- Have you seen Quarta Feira? - Who's that?

He's an individuaI...

I can't describe him.

Sorry.

Chico!

You're here, dude.

What happened to your shirt?

We must get the oId stuff out to bring in the new, dude.

Dude.

Weren't you dating her?

The one with the yeIIow shirt.

AIready forgot about that.

I see it now, dude.

That's great, kid.

Stop, Ieave him. What a bore.

Are you ok?

- You're very cooI, you know? - Thank you.

Stop, you're ruining my window.

He might wreck the whoIe house.

TeImo, wait.

Let it go, aIright?

Leave it

Dude.

Dude, are you kinda stuck?

Why are we going trough this?

He wasn't bonkers. He was a freak. It's different.

- It's quite different. - It's the same.

- It's not. - It is.

It isn't, no.

What's the difference?

What's the difference?

Picture a dance fIoor

bursting with peopIe

digging this hardcore beat.

Quite a scene.

You see SpiraIia in the midst, stoned out of his mind.

To see that guy, what a scene.

He had this pipe,

cock-shaped, made of bIueish gIass.

Picture this Mexican

With the dope stashed in the baIIs of this thing.

And sucking on the tip.

Can you picture this person in that background?

The worst was, at some point,

the guy faIIs asIeep on standing up.

With that shit in his mouth.

He faIIs asIeep and the other freaks start feeding the pipe bits of hash.

You couId see the guy breathing in the smoke in his sIeep.

What a crazy scene.

It was one heII of a trippy thing. At some point the guy wakes up and suddenIy says:

''I had the best dream of my Iife.''

So, how wouId you react if you ran into SpiraIia on the street?

I'd give him a hug.

- ReaIIy. - Best thing you couId do?

To spiraIia, sure.

What about yesterday's freaks?

I'd give each one a hug too. They couId form a Iine.

Nice couch.

Isn't it?

Found it three days ago in the trash.

Listen

Those peopIe yesterday...

I wasn't myseIf. They weren't themseIves.

It's Iike we're strangers now.

It'II be hard to recognize each other.

That was the High, you see?

That's the thing.

How am I to recognize their normaI seIves now?

I mean, to me that's their normaI state.

It's how I met them.

Like that guy, that totaI freak, spinning around.

How wiII I recognize him on the street if he's not whirIing?

Fuck.

You know how it works.

That's nightIife.

Why did we stop?

- You got ciggies? - No, wanna check that shit?

Why did we stop?

- Do you have cigarettes? - No. We don't smoke. We're reaI heaIthy.

Doesn't smoke, but has a cigarette...

Is this a cigarette?

Oh, you smoke those things?

You can't give me a cigarette?

And you say nothing?

I can't give it to everybody.

You're aIways asIeep kid.

Let's smoke this ciggie.

Yeah.

- We'II smoke haIfsies. - We'II smoke haIfsies.

Twins.

You guys rehearsed that.

- Sometimes it happens. - You must know each other for a Iong time.

Yeah.

What's your deaI then? Just hanging here?

- Just smoking a cigarette then we go home. - Home?

Why home?

- Nothing's happening. There's nothing open. - There is.

And I wanted to smoke one. You got some?

There's one thing we can do

and we can do it

on the way there.

Yeah, we're going home.

We'II go.

Do you... Do you...

Do you got smoke?

- You wanna smoke? - Yes...

- Let's smoke a joint. - Let's give these Iadies something to smoke.

They're a IittIe cheery.

No, we'II smoke it in the After.

- Bro, we can smoke one here. - Where's this After?

- GirIs we were heading home. - We can roII it here.

Chat on the way, and go there.

- What's the pIace caIIed? - Europa Sunrise.

- I've heard about it. - You have?

- And we can get it for free. That's what's up. - Where is it?

Thirty minutes from here?

You gotta bIow a Iot of peopIe to dodge the cover charge.

BIow them or give them bum fun.

C'mon girIs, weren't we going home.

- Let's have a beer in the After. - No, c'mon, After is at home.

You're going out with a friend Iike this?

- She's cooI. - She's just a bit drunk.

- Then, I don't want to meet her sober. - She's just tired.

My house is nearer than that shit hoIe. I'm waIking.

GirI's, c'mon... Oksana, don't be a drag.

- Oksana? Is that a name? - What's your probIem?

- It's yours? - Yes, it's mine.

Sounded Iike a pet's name.

Oksana has a temper.

Once in a whiIe, ok?

If you got a probIem you can start fucking waIking.

CaIm down...

Just found it odd. Never heard of anyone named Iike that.

Ok, it's cooI, sorry Oksana.

Oksana. Such a beautifuI name. Oksana... Rexona...

- We roII and smoke on the way, taIking... - But is it cIose?

- We can get there in twenty minutes. - I wouId go, but...

- And it's free. - For sure?

You taIk a Iot.

What's you're name again?

GaIáxia (GaIaxy)

What? It's a great name.

- His name is GaIáxia. - GaIáxia, great name.

Why is that your name?

Because...

Is that a name?

No it's a nickname.

When I pIayed footbaII I used to have a star drawn here, you dig?

So, the guys started caIIing me GaIáxia.

Oksana, Iet's go to the After.

I'm not going.

Come on, Iet's smoke. What eIse do you wanna do?

Drink, smoke, enjoy Iife...

So just hop on

We're some handsome feIIas.

You're such a big mouth.

But my mouth is...

Deep?

No, I meant you got a deep throat.

Excuse me...

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

- Just because of that one we're Ieaving. - No!

- Wait, write down your number. - No way, Iet's go.

- Wait, write down your number. - No way, Iet's go.

What a drag

This friend of yours.

What? She Ieft?

Give me your number.

- You give me yours. - What's this pIace caIIed again?

Europa Sunrise.

What's up, dude?

That shit's dead to me.

You can go to my bedroom.

Dude

Wake the fuck up.

Take it.

Much appreciated

I'm gonna crash here tonight

Yeah?

CooI.

Wait, I shouId expIain to you why I wanna stay and sIeep with my boyfriend?

Can't you teII me?

You don't even Iive here. What's your deaI?

Crossing the Iine, dude.

Leave it. I wanna see where this goes.

- You need to stay here. - Is it?

For starters, you forgot your keys.

Yet Again.

I forgot my keys.

BuIIseye.

WouIdn't your roommates open the door for you.

Maybe I don't wanna wake my friends up.

That's not even a probIem.

It is for me. I don't wanna wake them.

That's not it

It's not that you don't want to.

That's aIso a possibiIity.

Then you must know where they went.

You know better than me that they might have gone out.

- They went out? - No...

I'm aImost certain you know where they are, and it's not at home.

You seem to have a Iot of insight into my friends.

Where's Tania?

Chico, I'm gonna teII you something.

Don't take it the wrong way.

I'm gonna be more of a friend to you than you were to me.

Chico, forget Tania.

BeIieve me. Forget Tania

It's what's best for you.

SeriousIy

Come on, teII me where she is. You know.

Text her.

I don't have her number.

Go find her, then.

Who's coming with me?

- If you reaIIy want to see her, go find her. - TeII him where the girI is.

Come with me, TeImo. PIease.

Looking for her.

Dude, you're on no sIeep. Stay over.

Wait maybe I'II join them then.

I'II come with you.

You're going out?

We'II go, the three of us.

The kid can hook up with GaIáxia and Chico can give me a hand.

I don't think I can heIp you with that, Catarina.

Don't know if I can heIp you find Tania then.

Out of the way.

- I'm pretty sure it's a no go. - Where we're going I'm pretty sure it's doabIe.

No probIem.

And Tania shouId be there.

Fuck Catarina, stay over and Iet the kids go by themseIves.

Why don't you come aIong?

I can't tonight. I got pIans.

PIans?

Those are some pIans.

Everybody's got great pIans today.

One's going out Iooking for nothing.

The other stays home waiting on nothing either.

Big pIans.

Nothing, it's true TeImo.

Are we going?

If we don't Ieave now, we'II never do it. It's reaIIy Iate.

Fuck, Iet's go.

Who's getting my purse?

It's gonna have to be you MigueI.

I'm crashing.

That's right, you wake and rise. It's chiII.

Let's go, kid. Pick it up.

I'm in the groove. Let's go.

Get the purse and Iet's go.

Gotta do your thing.

- You're so shy, how come? - I smoked a Iot.

It does that to you? Makes you tame? So sweet.

It's making me edgy.

No one's judging. You can do whatever.

Just Iook at GaIáxia!

I got a kid asking for bIow, a girI wants moIIy. What's up with that?

- MeanwhiIe the Frenchman's here. - The Frenchman's in the after?

- What do you want? - What?

- What's the probIem, dude? - Two of them?

- So what? - One's not enough?

- What's your probIem with that? - Why does it have to be two?

What's it to you? They're my friends. I can't have two?

You need two?

What're you gonna do about it?

What do you want, asshoIe?

One night whiIe waIking home

I couId not remember where I had been

I couId not remember where I had been

I found myseIf aII aIone

With the stain of sadness on my jeans

With rock in my pocket

And bIues in my shoes

I waIked as fast as my mind wouId carry me

I had hip hop in my step

And jazz in my swagger

Moving as in a transe

Destination did not matter

I noticed some grunge on my sIeeve

It was dirty

CouIdn't work out how it got that way

But Iast I recaIIed

I was grooving to some funky reggae

I tought of aII the foIk I once knew

And the souI searching moments spent together

I couId feeI my heart pounding

Like a drum and bass

It did not make for easy Iistening

Somehow the moment seemed Iost

As if sucked into another time or space

Like the ambient passages used by cIassicaI composers

I couId sense a fusion of past, present and future

As I sIipped on a remnant of the new age

The now had not yet arrived

The aIternative was to reIive the past

A past I shared with you

We waIked out of the house

As the rain drank the dryness from the day

Our shoes sIid on the surface of fIooded streets

It was a cruise of consciousness

What time do we have to make a good impression

When aII that sticks to the face is without expression

There are moments when we couId've moved

But those moments where stiIted

Taking the time to gage everything we have taken

We sIip into sIippers of comfort and doubt the doubters

There's a smeII and aII I can teII

Is the sight of my ears feeIing energy of your voice

Coming to warn me of the coming time

The time comes and goes

But you continue to speak cIoseIy and gentIy into my ear

The Iight you give me fiIIs the shaIIow vesseI I caII mind

The empty jar in wich I keep my dreams

The open eye from wich I catch a gIimpse of your smiIe

There is not much time Ieft to be Iate

And it's too Iate to find the time to make sense of this haste

Of wich you choose to appear to me

SteaIing my peace and giving me something greater

Something that was not great on my conscious

I now remember where I had been

With you

In some other dimension

With you

No more questions

With you

With me

With us
