"#09 The Chocolate Girl in Love"

You can't tell me you've come to Perna,

but not for the tratamento, young lady.

Maria in the Wilderness will grant any wish. Isn't that amazing?

And Toni Kaka's maps are just the thing for that.

One will cost you only two arcas.

Or so I'd ask, but you're so pretty, I'll lower the price!

A mere one arca, fifty talgos! Uh, hey!

Excuse me...

Oh, what is it?

Here. You pressed me to buy this from you yesterday.

I really am hard up for money right now, so,

you can have this back. Please give me my money.

Are you sure you bought that from me?

Yes. I mean, you're Toni Kaka, right?

Nope. I'm Garcia Boruc.

Sheesh!

What are you doing here? I already said we were through, Masao!

When we say goodbye, I'll be the one saying it, Rita.

But I won't.

Who's that?!

My boyfriend.

He's just a sawed-off little kid, isn't he?

Yeah, he's a sawed-off little kid. Is that so wrong?

Um...

You're not all that sawed-off, are you?

You... don't say.

Mm-hmm. I like you.

Whoa! What are you doing?!

Let's smooch.

Listen, I'm a girl!

Huh! How old are you?

I just turned ten.

We're the same age?

We are, are we?

Ew, you talk so polite-like. It creeps me out.

I apologize.

You hurt? Or just hungry?

I am... hungry.

Well, let's go.

But, I have no money...

Hmm, that's okay.

Here in Osso, where the streetcars run to and fro,

there was a shooting by unknown assailants.

Gunned down were Vinicius Marque,

Rocco Borges, and Andréa Vale.

They were reportedly posing as members of "Monstro Preto,"

and carrying on fraudulent activities. It is strongly suspected

that this incident was carried out in retaliation.

The body of the group's leader, Davi Nativa,

was found in front of a train garage twenty-eight kilometers outside Osso.

Additionally, prison escapee Michiko Malandro

was seen fleeing together with them...

Now then... What's wrong?

Um, we didn't pay any money for that.

Mm-hmm. That man inside said he was paying,

so I asked him to pay for us, as well.

Let's start with that way.

Feels like I'm leaking down my string.

String?

Mm-hmm, my tampon.

Ah, my name's Rita. What's your name?

Hana.

Hana?

Hmm... So Hana, you sleep in the park?

Yes.

Where are you from? You alone?

Up there!

You bought that?

The map? From Toni Kaka.

Hana, you going for the tratamento?

Wanna look?

You know what? I know the secret of the tratamento Maria statue.

The whole thing is a made-up scam.

What's up with a Maria that sheds tears of blood, anyway?

That's like something out of a bad horror movie.

She sheds tears of blood?

Mm-hmm. When you see it, you say a prayer, see?

Everyone says your wish is granted that way.

Rita, you don't believe in it?

A Maria statue suddenly appearing

in the middle of nowhere? Wishes being granted?

We're not children anymore. Those stories sound like dreams.

I think it's all nonsense.

I mean, the world is a more realistic place than that.

It's okay.

Um, okay. Thanks for this.

Interested?

I happen to work over there.

So you can come anytime, and I'll get you in.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm.

That's a promise. Come on by, now.

Uh-oh, I gotta go.

See you, Hana.

Why should I be concerned about her?!

Gino!

Don't get up! Don't look down at me!

How many times have I told you not to take your eyes off of Rita?!

What's the problem? She came back, after all.

Don't talk back to me, you idiot!

Why didn't you come?!

Well, look, you came back.

Geez! Do what I want you to do now! Otherwise, I'm leaving!

Did I wake you?

Mm-mm.

Everything okay?

Mm-hmm.

Hana, you have anyone that you like?

You know what? I do. His name's Gino.

We're always together. Ever since I was born, we've been together.

I was abandoned outside that tent, you see.

The first thing I ever saw was Gino. I'm always looking at Gino.

But then, he never looks at me.

So I've tried approaching a whole bunch of men.

But he still won't look at me.

Even when I run away like this, he won't come for me.

My heart is all tangled up inside and it hurts.

Good morning!

Good morning!

Good morning!

Hey, you! You dirty little boy!

Don't you go making eyes at my Rita anymore! Or else,

my fists will cave your head in!

Look, I'm a girl!

Oh, yeah? All the more... reason...?

Hey, come with me for a little bit.

Eh?

Just come with me!

- -Fine lady, right? Name's Natalia. - -Here you go. Thanks for waiting.

She's Gino's girlfriend. And what's more, she's knocked up.

And now you know. So then, order anything you like.

There's nobody around who can make Rita happy, except me.

- -You're looking prettier than ever, aren't you? - -Oh, go on, really?

Hey, are you listening to me? I want you to shill for me.

I'll feed you whatever you want.

And you'll be the one who drops hints about this and that.

I'm a really nice guy.

Hey, what's wrong?

Ee-yow!

Go faster!

You're all right.

Stop! Don't touch me!

Get over here, you little punk!

Let me go!

Are you a thief, crawling around here like a cockroach?

No! I'm not a thief!

Hana!

- -Rita! - -Why, you nasty little...!

Help me!

What's wrong?

You know what, Rita?

Mm-hmm?

I heard that Mr. Gino already has a girlfriend.

I've heard... a few things...

Did you come here to tell me to give up?!

I don't believe what you said!

Get out!

Um, has that girl Rita come out?

Nope.

I see. Thank you very much.

Um, are you Gino?

Mm-hmm.

I am... one of Rita's friends. My name is Hana.

Rita is in an awful lot of pain.

How come?

Because she really... likes you, Mr. Gino.

At least take a close look at her, please.

If you'd be so kind.

Your hair looks just like candy.

Sorry, but I can't do that.

Huh?

You see, after the show closes the day after tomorrow, I'm staying.

Also, I'm going to be a daddy.

Then, what about Rita? Does that mean you can't stay with her?

Yep. That's how these things normally work.

Does Rita... know about any of this?

Huh? What? Which part?

That you're staying here, for one thing.

Oh, she'll be fine. She's still little.

She's got her whole life ahead, right?

She'll meet all sorts of guys, and find someone who's right for her.

She'll be a fine woman.

Rita?

I have nowhere to go.

I'm sorry, Hana. There's something not right about me.

Are you going somewhere?

I'll go with you, too.

Mm-hmm, it's Masao's. Rock-paper-scissors, ready?

Rock, paper, scissors!

On back. Hurry.

You on?

Mm-hmm.

H-Hey, Hana!

What are you doing?

We switched it out.

Why?

Some idiot ran off with just the head. Seemed like such a shame.

Which is why we swapped it for a new one.

Does this Maria cry?

But she just has to, you know?!

I mean, she won't be able to grant wishes this way!

Huh? Can she? Huh?

Rita!

I can't wait... to be a grownup.

Get a move on! Don't just stand around!

Rita! Gino!

You're on!

Gino Costa and Rita Ozzetti!

Snap to it! We leave tomorrow!

Nice work, Gino.

I'm okay now.

Rita...

You looked great.

Thanks.

This is goodbye, huh?

Mm-hmm.

See you later.

Is it okay... if I come with you?

Chasing you, chasing you

On a night when the sky is fairly dripping with stars

I want to believe in a miracle that will never happen

I would forever look at your face in profile,

always sitting right between me and him

I was the best friend close by your side

with my true feelings tucked away in my heart

If I could convey them to you here and now,

I wonder if the world would transform

I don't believe in God, but still,

I wish upon a star

I miss you now

On these sleepless nights my feelings only deepen

Baby I love you

Only after I met you did I realize

my loneliness and heartbreak

Always looking for you

Ah, my best friend

I want to hold you
