* THE NEW NEIGHBORS *
I'm so nervous! I'm afraid to lose my voice!
- Calm down! You're beautiful and you'll be the best, as always! - I really hope so!
When you finish delivering these meals, tell the musicians that I'm gonna enter! - Of course!
- And then, tell the audience that I'm gonna sing! - Ok, Tatiana! Calm down! You did this so many times! Don't be nervous.
- Yes, but this is different! It's our premiere as a Fado House! Nothing can go wrong!
- Nothing will go wrong! You'll shine as usual!
- Hey lá! Very well, Tatiana! You look like a real fadista! Like Amália Rodrigues!
- Anyone can tell that you know nothing about show business! I'm gonna touch up my makeup!
- Oh... It was just a compliment!
- Ricardo, do you think you'll get your job back, acting like this?
- Daniela, I don't even know if I wanna come back to work here! So, don't pressure me!
- You don't know? On that case, I'm sorry but I'll have to go to my plan B!
David, you & Susana want Ana's room?
- Yes. But isn't it supposed to go to Ricardo? - Yes, but he can't pay the rent. So, he'll keep on sleeping on the sofa.
- Then, me & Susana can move into there? - Exactly! The room is yours!
- Don't you mind?
- Me? Oh, no! No problem! You know that I love to sleep on the sofa, right? I love it! - Ok, I was kidding.
- Thank you very much, cousin! - You're welcome.
- Are you serious? Ricardo won't keep the room? - Didn't Daniela told you yet? - No, this is so busy, that I didn't manage to talk to her.
- But, what happened? Is he moving out? - No. he'll keep on sleeping in the sofa, poor boy.
He can't pay the rent, so she offered us the room, 'cause we can pay it. - OMG! This is great! I mean...
Poor Ricardo, he'll keep on sleeping in the living room, but we'll finally get our own space!
- Well, it won't be 'our' space: 5 people in the same house and one of them in the living room. We won't have much privacy.
- Ok, but at least we'll have a room for us only! Baby, I think we can't throw away this chance, right?
- Are you sure you want this? - It's not exactly what we had planned, but...
At least we'll be sleeping together every night! And you'll see that it'll be fun to live with our friends! - Yes, it will!
- Ok, then! Let's talk to Daniela to arrange the details! - And to know exactly when we can move in!
- So, how was the interview? - It went well, but we never know. Lift the dishes, so I can move the table cloth.
Sometimes our perception is different from the perception of who's hiring. - You'll get the job, mom! I'm sure!
- I hope so! Our sports shop isn't making much money. We're just getting some money from the workshop.
Otherwise we couldn't pay the rent here! - Oh, And the space there is so cool! I can see myself working there and I'm sure the manager found me friendly!
She's a young girl, maybe at your age, son. She has a good vibe. She's trying to shake things up at the Nautical Club Restaurant!
- Then, she needs a person with experience, like you! - Yes, she does!
- Father, I think you should drive your business to jogging. It's fashion now! Cycling is an old thing nowadays.
- No, it's not! A lot of people ride a bicycle at the end of the day or at the weekends!
- Yeah, but bikes need maintenance and many people find it boring. - But I have a lot of jogging material at the store! I don't sell only bikes!
- The main problem are the malls! They killed the small shops at the streets! - That's the problem!
What saves my day is the usual customers who always pass by to fix their bikes! - But, that's not enough! Oh, give me the other knife, please.
That's why this job at the Nautical Club Restaurant has to be mine!
- I could try to find a job too, to help here! - No way! You'll find a job when you finish your course!
I don't want you to spoil your studies nor the hockey training.
On the other hand, your brother could do something else, other than being always sticked to the computer!
- Alexandre, let him be! Don't say these things! He's studying! - No, he's not! If he liked studying, he'd had got into college!
Do you find it normal, for him to be all day in the room? He has no friends nor girlfriends!
- He's just shy! He prefers the computer more, than people. But he'll change! Son, go and call your brother to have lunch!
- Leonor, can't you see that he's fixing the stick?... André! Lunch is ready! - I'll go there, dad! He must be with his headphones.
- No! Let it be! I'll go there!
- Let me see it! - No, it's ready! - Is it well done?
- Tatiana, I need two beers, please!
- Hi, David! Are you going to travel? Look, I need you at the kitchen!
- No, no. Don't worry. I'm just moving to another house.
- Is there much more stuff left? - No, it's almost done!
I won't have to sleep alone any other night! - Oh, So good! We'll be able to be together!
- Congratulations to the valentines! - Thank you! Well, when I finish my work here, I'll take this to our place!
- It's gonna be so much fun! Don't you think so? - Yeah, but I pity Ricardo. He'll keep on sleeping on the sofa...
No one deserves it. - Yes, but he has no money to pay the rent. It's better a sofa than the streets!
- You're right. - Well, you'll celebrate it later, ok? Susana, take the beers while they're cold. - Ok!
Olá! - Oh, our son! Oh, my boy!
- How was that hockey training? Was it ok? - Yeah! - Did you kick coach's butt? - There's no need for that. He respects me.
I took a look at the coffee house nearby, Tia Elvira. It seems like they did a makeover there and they turned it into a Fado House.
- Oh, I love fados, son! - They have fados almost every night. And the people from neighborhood usually get along there.
So, if you wanna get to know our new neighbors, you must go there!
- Let's go there tonight, husband? - Alright, Baby!
Xavier, is it one of that really expensive Fado Houses? - No, I think it's normal... And it looks really cool.
- Are you coming? Can you stand it? - Sure, no prob!
- Let me check if our silly boy wants to come too! Hey, silly boy!
- Oh, my boy!
- Hey, João! How's the beef steak? - It's good! Seriously! It's really good! - Sure! It's a special recipe from this Chef!
What about tonight? Will you stay for the fados? - No, I'm not in the mood today. I'll eat and leave.
I need to be quiet for a while. That's what I need.
- Good evening! - Olá! - Good evening! - Olá, I'm Tatiana! Welcome to Tia Elvira's Fado House!
- Thank you! - Thank you very much! - Well, this space is very nice! Very cute indeed!
- David & Susana are here to help you with whatever you need. - We've just moved into the neighborhood.
- Yeah, we're checking out the area. - Then, you're very welcome here!
Here, at Tia Elvira's, you can be as if it was your own house! We've a very familiar environment.
You'll see that in a little while, you'll get to know everybody!
- You have fados, right? - Yes, we've fados every night! Oh, today we've a very special guest: Inês Duarte!
- I know her! I know her and I like her very much! - And Tatiana also sings! - And she's a great fadista!
- I see you have some exemplary employees!... - Don't you wanna come in? I'll give you the best table for tonight!
- Sure! We came here for that! - Let's go!
- See you in a bit! - See you!
Oh, they're very nice!... And that boy is 'no trash at all'!
- Oh, really? Maybe you wanna go and listen to a little fado, next to him? I think he found you cute.
- Oh, don't you be silly, ok? No, he didn't!
- So, which one do you prefer? - Maybe this one? - Ok!
Oh, let me introduce you to my mother, she gives the name to the house! Mom, these people are new at the neighborhood!
- You're very welcome at Tia Elvira's! - Thank you! I'm Alexandre Cardoso! This is my wife Leonor! - How are you?
- And this is my older son, Xavier. - Oh, what we need is new people at this block!
This is my husband! - Júlio Gusmão! Nice to meet you! - Nice to meet you!
- Mr. Júlio, if you'll need to fix a bike someday, come to my workshop. It's not far from here!
- Oh, fella... Nowadays I just barely manage to balance myself at my car's seat!
But if someone asks, I'll recomend your workshop! Count on me! - Thank you! - So, let's go to your table!
Feel free to see the menu, I'll call Susana to note your requests. - See you. - Have a nice meal! - Thank you!
- This is cute! - And the people are really funny, aren't they? - Yes!
But, André should be here, too. - Oh, let him be. - He could have left the computer for 2 hours to be with his family.
- Honey, he doesn't like fado music!... - That's not the reason why he didn't come... Anyway...
What about you, lover boy? I saw the girl checking you out!
She's... nice... - Oh, dad, don't start with your 'movies'! - Isn't she pretty?
And you checked her out, too! I noticed! - Oh, don't make things up!
- So, do you know what do you wanna eat?
Sometimes, your father is more of a kid than you are!
"My enchanted city..."
"... I am nothing without you."
"In Alfama block, I'm like the tide..."
"... At the Castle I receive the Grace [Graça block]"
"My soul is chained to Mouraria block..."
"...But I'm like a cry from Madragoa block"
"I carry you inside me... I carry you inside me..."
"Lisboa!"
"At your hidden alleys... I hold to 'Saudade' [Nostalgia's Longing]"
"But it's at your avenues that I find my freedom!"
"Oh, so much life to be dreamed..."
"...Oh, so much dream to be lived, here!"
"My enchanted city..."
"... I am nothing without you!"
"Lisboa!..."
- I don't even remember the last time we came to a Fado Night! Do you, Alexandre?
- 10 years ago, perhaps! - Then, I'm glad I came to check out the surroundings! - Oh, my son, give me a kiss.
You saved my night! At this hour, I'd be at home dying to know the result of the job interview!
At least here, I was entertained!
- So, are you enjoying it?
She sings very well! Oh, but wait until you listen to Tatiana! The house owner! She's my friend.
- We're enjoying it very much! I was saying that to my son & to my husband. - Oh, but you must come to one of Tatiana's nights!
- I'm Célia! Nice to meet you! And this is Basílio, my boyfriend!
- Nice to meet you! - Maybe you already heard about Gomes' grocery? It's his!
- Gomes' grocery. We didn't manage to go there yet. Usually we shop everything at the mall.
- Oh, but now you'll have a grocery at your door! You won't wanna anything else!
- Well, I'm gonna get some more juice! Do you want more sangria? - No, son! It's enough for me tonight! - Excuse me.
- It's your only son? - No, we've got a younger one. He's studying at home.
Susana, another portion of peixinhos da horta [little garden fish], please! - Sure!
- Ora! You can take this to the other room! - Oh, And we need one more portion of peixinhos da horta!
- Oh, god! - Are you the cook?
- Well, I prefer to call myself 'Le Chef'!...
But, yeah: That's me!... Any complaining with the food? - No. Not at all.
- And you won't have any complaining! David is a great chef! You'll hear people talking about him, one day!
- Hey, pal! You've got a great criminal defense lawyer, here! I bet she's your girlfriend!
- You're totally right! - It's a shame... I was thinking I could have some chance... Then, I don't have!...
- I'm... I'm sorry. I'm just kidding! You don't know me, but sometimes I say stupid things like this, when I try to be funny...
- S... Sure! No prob! Do you need something else? - No! I'm fine!...
See you! - See you!
This guy is daring the danger! I saw fights starting due to much less than this!
- He was just kidding! - You know the saying: 'kidding, kidding, everybody says the truth!'
- You won't start to be suspicious about him, right? - Only if the knows his place!
You know that I don't like to get into conflicts! But, there are limits!
Well, take this to the other room before it gets cold...
- David, look at me!
You know what's the best part of tonight?
We're going to sleep to the same house! And we have our own room! Think about that!
I have to go!
- Of course, In a small neighborhood, everybody's nosy! You saw that woman? What was her name? - At the other table?
Célia! - Yeah! She talked, talked, talked!... Let me tell you: that grocery's guy must be very calm to stand her!
- But they were friendly... As the restaurant staff... - Oh, I ate very well yesterday!
It's a guy in the kitchen. I was talking to him. - Really? He's talented!
What about the owner?
I'm not talking about the mother! The youngest one! She liked you! And you looked at her too!
And you looked to the waitress, as well! - Yes, to your eyes, I'm always looking to every girl...
- André is coming! Do you need more bread? - No!
- How did you managed to get him out of the bed? - By strength! - I bet he came back to the bed.
- No way! He'll see what happens, if he plays with me!
- When we got home yesterday... was he sleeping already? - Do you really think so?
He stayed on the computer until late. I even read a book to see if he turned off the light, but... no way.
- One of these days, I'll be seriously upset and I'll cut off the web! - Dad, don't rush yourself! I live here also! I use the web too!
- I don't need you to push me, mother! I go by myself! - Yes I need! For you to wake up! - Good morning!
- Come on, kid! You can barely open your eyes!
- You should have come with us to fados, yesterday! Oh, the fadista was so good!
- Was she wearing a black shawl like Amália? And said: "Thank you, thank you!"
I won't allow you to speak like that about Mrs. Amália Rodrigues! Did you hear me?
- Well, he'll never know! Fadistas are real and he lives in the virtual world!
- Well, at least, he knows Amália! Not bad to start! - Yeah, you're not so dumb as I thought.
- Stop it, pal! - Come on! Stop this, guys! Give me your glass. Have some juice.
- Good morning! - Good morning! - Good morning! How are you?
- How was the dinner yesterday? It must have been very good, 'cause Ricardo fell asleep without putting his pajama.
- Yes, it was fine... Until the moment it went wrong!
- What happened?
- Ricardo drank too much and he was stupid... He started to tease Ana in front of Gonçalo.
- Seriously? And how did Gonçalo react?
- Gonçalo freaked out and gave him a 'stay away'! - Gonçalo hit Ricardo? - No, he just pushed him.
- So Gonçalo is from the jealous kind!
- Yeah, but Ricardo stepped over the mark: he went to Gonçalo's place as a guest and starts to tease his girlfriend?!...
- This guy has no consciousness! He's a weirdo! - But, how was Ana in the middle of all that situation?
- Ana couldn't say a word! She froze! - Poor girl! I imagine her face! She must have felt so embarrassed.
This Ricardo is such a silly boy!...
- Good morning my people! How are you? - Good morning! - Good morning!
- You're very cheerful! Has it anything to do with the fact that you went out in a rush, from Gonçalo's place yesterday?
- Actually... it has! 'Cause yesterday I found 'The' Love!
I'm sorry to tell you, guys... but... tonight I won't sleep home...
Nor tomorrow... Nor after that! Nor anymore! ... I'm gonna move in with Sidónio!
- Excuse me... You're what? - You're crazy! You're not well! - Yes, I am! I just came to grab my stuff! From now on, you have a free bedroom!
- What just happened here? Is she dating Sidónio? - Well, she's moving in with him!
- Do you mind... to lower your voices, please? Do you really have to be here? A person can't even sleep at this house!
- If you didn't have drunk so much wine yesterday, perhaps you wouldn't be like this today, right?
- Oh, don't tell me about that, cousin... That wine sucks... Yes, it sucked...
- Ricardo, you know what sucks? YOU! You're a ZERO!
