01x01 - You Will See Me

[bunniefuu]

In life, there are many kinds of success,

professional success, financial success,
love success...

I'm a great example of how
to fail all of them.

Who are you talking to?

No one.

I think talking to yourself at a party
is the rock bottom of your social life.

I've been worse, man.

FEIO: Haven't you met anyone yet?

No, for now, I'm just... searching around.

Beautiful people. Cool... people.

This isn't for me, man.

What do you like, then?
A cup of coffee? Cheese bread?

No! People from Minas are humble,
people from

São Paulo are kind of show-offs,
don't you think?

LUCAS: The homeowner is
from the countryside of Tocantins.

She's more down-to-earth than you think.

She's not as snobbish as people
from São Paulo.

I doubt it, on top of that,
she's kind of famous right now. Look!

You'll understand when you meet her.
She's modest.

But she's got a...

What?

An attitude, right? Everyone here has it.

Did you see that guy's hair?
Do you think that would look good on me?

I guess you would look like a rocker
from the eighties, you know?

To be an artist, talent is not enough,
you know?

You gotta... gotta have style.

You gotta look like an artist.

-Right?
-Yeah.

Hence, the hat?

No. I wear this hat because I look hot.

Uh-huh.

Anyway, what's rock and roll?
John's glasses or Paul's look in the eye?

What?

Engenheiros do Hawaii.

This is before your time...
Before mine too.

(UPBEAT ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(STRUMMING GUITAR)

I was looking for the bathroom...

You know this area is restricted
to the owners, right?

I'm sorry, the door was open...

You're kidding?

The house is all yours.
I came to get my guitar.

The soirée is gonna start, wanna go up?

Yeah... it's beautiful.

It's a girl. Adelaide.

You name your guitars?
Or female guitar, I don't know.

This is Tinho, up there is Carmelita,
she's from Portugal,

and Adelaide is a lady I've just met.

Made of rosewood, all original,
and she's my favorite at the moment.

I like that, I'll name mine too.

-Do you play?
-I try to.

If you try to, you play it.

Because playing doesn't mean
you're great at it.

I play the guitar.

By the way, congrats on your clip
and on your ten million.

Thanks, did you like it?

A lot! The photography was perfect!

You didn't watch it, right?

Who are you, huh?

Pedro.

Okay, but who's Pedro?

I am who I am.

I go to law school.

Yeah, I don't know,
that's a tough question.

It wasn't supposed to be tough.

Who are you, then?

Yeah, okay, really. I don't even know
why I asked. That's pointless!

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Did you get lost?

A little.

This is Pedro, he goes to law school,

tries to play the guitar
and, from time to time, lies.

VITÃO: Weird vibe.

This is Vitão, an wannabe actor.

I'm an actor.
I just didn't pass any audition. Yet.

Are you a musician too?

I'm an artist.

They want you upstairs, Ana. Shall we go?

Let's go. Are you coming?

(MUDAR O MUNDO PLAYING)

I know I'll change the world

I know I'll change the world

With my voice, I have faith,
with my mother

Tired of waiting

To see the change happening
I'm here to see

(VOCALIZING)

I believe in love,

In any topic of love
beautiful people

I believe in love,

In any topic of love
beautiful people

(VOCALIZING)

I know I'll change the world

I know I'll change the world

With my voice, I have faith,
with my mother

Tired of waiting to see

The change happening
I'm here to see

(ALL APPLAUDING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

What? What are you looking at?

Come on. No, the girl is talented, just...

and she has a pretty accent and...

pretty, droopy eyes and a charismatic dog
with droopy eyes just like hers,

which is pretty too.

But apart from that, there's nothing.

You can stop looking.

(QUANDO BATE AQUELA SAUDADE PLAYING)

You are the only one with such big eyes

Hey, and that time you vanished?
Where were you?

I was there... Down there, in the studio.

Talking... with that girl.

What is it? But nothing happened,
we just talked.

What about your face?

We know you have a silly face,
but this is different.

Lucas, be quiet, let him play.

Why don't you play too?

I want to see Ana's reaction
to you playing.

This is a lost cause.

That's what the guitar is for.

(ALL CHEERING)

Thanks, guys.

But, seriously,
I'd like to invite a friend.

The one who kept talking
while I was playing.

Come on, bro, get over here.
Show us what you got.

Today I can't play because...

I'm leaving, I have to go home.
I have work tomorrow morning.

Thank you. Thanks!

Mmm-hmm.

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYING)

Look into my eyes and say everything
you have to say

Everyone knows, you can't hide

If there's something between us,
we'd better work it out...

Something between us...

(WHISTLES)

(ALARM RINGING)

(HÁ QUANTO TEMPO PLAYING)

IT'S ALL RIGHT

CYNTHIA: Morning, Mr. Hangover!

Next time the pile will be higher.

-It's three past nine.
-You're three minutes late.

I need these contracts revised
by the end of the day.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

You guys aren't okay, right?

Clean up the studio, then.
Jovem Dionisio... The Jovem Dionisio?

What's the plural of a band
named after only one person?

Anyway, they'll be here soon.
You guys have an interview in a hour.

-What's up, Cynthia?
-Hi.

Did the New York headquarters call?

Yeah, they called last night
and didn't like the numbers.

The situation is terrible, Toni.

Give me some good news.

Sure!

"Roger Waters marries
for the fifth time and declares,

'I am very happy.'"

You're spirited, Cynthia.

New York headquarters says we haven't
released a hit since...

Since... I know!

I need a novelty, just one,
to change everything.

Okay. The novelty is,
we don't have a hit and we need one,

or we're running the risk of...

What?

(WHISPERS) People being fired.

Who's your best boss?

-There were many...
-It's me!

It's me, believe in me. I can do this.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

What's up, Mom? How are you?
Sorry for yesterday, I was at a party.

I didn't hear you call.

Have you been hanging out
with musicians from São Paulo, son?

They're musicians from São Paulo.
So what? They're cool.

Oh, my God!
This gives me the chills, I don't like it.

That's the problem,
sometimes it's too cool!

Mom... I have to go.
I'm at work. We'll talk later.

-Okay?
-Yes, son. Focus on work. Bye.

Bye! Love you, bye.

TONI: Keep focused.

Let's go on tour and hit the road.

Let's go! Let's conquer Brazil! Awesome!

I loved it! Thanks for coming.

-We loved it.
-Thanks, see you.

-Let's do it!
-Let's go for it!

So, I started producing our friend's songs
with two other friends,

Agnes and Julia, and things got better
and we decided to set up our own studio.

How is dealing with the success
of Changing the World?

Because it's a success,
ten million views...

I'm very happy!

The more we can spread the music we make,
the more I can communicate and show

who I am, what I see, and what I feel,

but I make music because of music,
not because of numbers.

(GARGLING)

Man, I'm sorry to ask you this again,
I find this kind of confusing.

Is your name Rubel or Rubél?

Did you know if you gargle with coffee,
caffeine hits twice stronger?

Whatever, Rubel, Rubél, Rubão, Rubinho.

I like it.
Who were those guys attending the meeting?

Hotelo, a band.

-Is it them?
-What?

-The big hit.
-What hit?

That Toni needs to save the label.

Not sure. They made last year's, right?
But I'm just a clerk.

But you have two ears,

you listen to music,
you probably have an opinion.

My opinion is that guessing
doesn't make any sense.

Remember Ragatanga?

It's a nonexistent language
and a one-note song.

A big hit in 2002,
everyone remembers this song.

-Have you been writing?
-I wrote a song yesterday.

Do you have it?

-It's in my phone, but it's not ready yet.
-Totally.

I'll show you when it's done,
you'll dig it.

-Rubel! Tell Mom!
-Morning, boss.

Good morning, tell Mom that I'm available
and today my luck is gonna change!

I'll tell her.

Amen. What's the deal with that suit, kid?

Please, turn around, posture! Posture!

Write it all down, Rubel.

I got this! Will you send him the song?

Toni doesn't know who I am!

He doesn't know who I am either.
I'm telling you, you should do it.

(TRANQUIL MUSIC PLAYING)

-Hi!
-Toni, announce before coming in.

I just wanna have a nice chat.

I'm not a shrink. I told you,

Ana wants more for her career.
She doesn't wanna sign with your label.

Hey, Gita, how old are you, dear?

I'm 13, what's your point?

You're a brilliant kid, a prodigy.

Tell me something,
what does it take to make it?

For the 13th time,
talent, luck, and hard work.

Toni, I'm very busy.

I'm not the hotshot of the label,
you know?

I'm your friend, your buddy.

Okay, Toni, this talk is great,
but I need to focus on my stuff.

I need a hit! I need a hit, Gita!
I'm under pressure.

The corporate world can be very mean.
Now the real sharks want to eat me, Gita!

The only thing I ask you, the only thing,
please, is a meeting.

Just one meeting. You, the girls,
back there at the label. Please, Gita!

I'll see what I can do.
But I can't promise you anything!

Yes, Gita, thanks! That's all I needed.

Beautiful song. What's the name?

I haven't decided yet. I am choosing it.

No, the name of the girl
who inspired you to write it.

Oh, it's... Ana!

Ana? Ana, from that clip?

-Mmm-hmm.
-Oh!

-No, we just met each other, no kissing.
-Why not?

She was with someone else
and... She's way out of my league.

But you're Pedro!

I am, so?

Where's Pedrão?
That fearless dreamer who gets everything.

Today, he has a hangover.

I'm going to the next soirée.

No, guys, don't worry, seriously.
Record it the way you want.

With five million or five reais,
it's okay.

Jeez, I don't even know how to thank you.

-There's no need.
-Thanks.

-Thank you.
-Bye, Julia.

-Bye!
-Bye.

Hey, Aninha, you're very cute.

Play something pretty for me, come on.

I can't play anymore.

Did you unlearn?

I lost my talent.

I don't think I'll ever write
a good song again.

Is it me or are your glasses foggy?

Sometimes they get foggy, Julia.

-Hmm...
-ANA: Huh!

When you were dating João,
your glasses got foggy all the time,

and it is foggy right now,
I call this love!

Love doesn't exist, my friend!

They invented love
to sell folk duo records.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Stop it! Seriously, what about that boy?

-ANA: Hmm?
-You know.

-ANA: Hmm...
-All awkward, cute, the way you like it.

Awkward the way I like it?

I know you like misfits.

There's no boy, Julia!
I don't do this anymore. Come on!

You can't play, you can't love.
So, tell me, what can you do?

Take care of Butter,
the only thing I can do now.

I think you suffer
from the golden age syndrome.

Here she comes.

You keep saying everything
was better in the past.

And you played better back then,

you knew how to write songs,
you kissed better...

Since you put it that way, I agree.
Everything back then was better!

Look at Rita Lee and her friends,

free in the world, they dove right in,
they knew how to live.

It's true, but you like that weird boy,
I know it.

-Here, Aninha.
-Lame.

Gorgeous

Oh, no, Julia!

I feel enchanted

Taking risks

Your look in the eye is just beautiful

But it doesn't mean anything else

Stop it!

Gorgeous boy

I want to look at you

I want to look at you

Then, I want to leave

Oh Oh!

Without telling why

I'm a gypsy

Oh Oh!

I just have to look at you

(CHUCKLES)

Come on! Let's close the studio, right?
That's enough for today.

Let's do it, Julia!

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Good morning, Rubel, Rubél!
Are you in pajamas?

I sent Toni your song.

Told him the new intern is
a great songwriter

with a hit to save this label.

-What?
-Sent it to Toni. Are you crazy?

-Sent it to Toni.
-I'm an intern. He's going to fire me.

The guy needs a hit,
and your song is good.

But not for you to send to Toni!

Things don't need to be perfect,
things need to exist.

You know what? You need to stop
interfering in people's business!

Bro, you're irresponsible!

You're wearing pajamas.

Cynthia, upload everything to the cloud
because the Americans

called early requesting it.

-Again?
-TONI: They want to drive us crazy.

(MUDAR O MUNDO PLAYING ON PHONE)

With my voice

TONI: This is interesting.

Hey, wait a minute! Rewind.

This is my intern.

So, Pedro, you're a smart boy.

Tell me what it takes to make it, Pedro.

-Talent.
-Many untalented people make it.

Luck.

Good guess.
But I'm not talking about talent or luck.

You gotta have that thing called "tchã",
you know?

You mean the band?

No, something about you,

you gotta be a star,
gotta have mojo, star quality.

Oh, yeah, sure...

I recognize it instantly
when I see it in someone.

This something else.

I didn't know
you had listened to the song...

-What do you mean?
-My song?

No. I'm talking about Ana. Ana Caetano.

Are you friends?

Kind of. We met the other day...

I have a mission for you.

You'll get Ana Caetano
to sign with our label.

But I barely know her.

Then get to know her! You'll handle it!

You're going to every soirée,
you'll become her friend too.

You'll observe her life...

But you have to bring
this girl to our label!

In exchange, if you succeed,
we'll sign with you.

-Guess who was here?
-Pedro?

I knew it!

I'm not barging in,
you guys can talk about this later.

It was Toni.

Oh, no! This man again, Gita!

He's begging to meet you.

I think we need
to understand his proposal.

The proposal is doing
everything they want,

making money off of this
and interfering with my musical identity.

I don't want this, Gita.

This is your expectation and makes sense.

But could you listen
to what he has to say?

He may have something to offer.

And we're in a privileged position
to negotiate.

I like what we've got, why mess with it?

Is that your decision?

The decision now is I'm hungry
and I can't think like this, you know it.

Let's talk later!

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

FEIO: Oh, man! What a kiss!

Great couple.
There's something about Vitão.

Hey, Junior High,
you don't have to narrate it, okay?

-You're jealous, Pedro, admit it!
-I'm not!

I am! I just don't know
if I'm more jealous of him... Or her.

(UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYING)

Look at that guy. All clumsy!
He looks like Forky from Toy Story!

PEDRO: He really does.

That one.

He doesn't understand a thing being said.

He just smiles and agrees.

That one is in love
with a beautiful, smart, shrewd girl.

But they'll never be together 'cause
he thinks she's too good.

And that one is clearly in love
with her best friend,

but she knows he sees her as a friend.

So? Have you figured out who you are?

I'm just making conversation.

Nice to meet you. Ana.

I didn't introduce myself last time.

I already knew your name.
But next time, pick a better topic.

I'm kidding! Yeah...
Maybe something I can answer, right?

Yes, sir. Besides lying,
you have an attitude, right?

Sorry about that, it was awkward...

It's okay, I'm just kidding.
Nobody had to watch the clip.

This is Clara.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-Clara, Ana.
-Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.
-Great studio.

Thanks!

And that day, after getting home,
I watched the clip.

So?

-I found the song amazing.
-And the clip?

Honestly? I didn't love the clip,
but I loved the song.

I found the melody wonderful...

The chord inversions, I found...

Thanks for being honest...

(CHUCKLES)

I'll be honest too.

There are no chord inversions
in that song.

I don't know what it is,
I thought I'd sound smart,

but I swear I like the song, I swear.

Pedro Calais.

Sorry about last time.

No, forget about it.

No, seriously. Sorry about last time.

No, I'm sorry.

It wasn't cool to talk while you played.

Yeah, you really messed up.
You shouldn't talk while I'm playing.

You disrespected art.

But what about today?
Are you gonna play or run?

(GUITAR STRUMMING)

(APPLAUDING)

Look into my eyes
and say everything you have to say

Everyone knows, you can't hide

If there's something between us
We'd better work it out

Better late than never
I've been watching you and hoping

For you to notice me

I wonder what you think

About us being so distant

What do you need to see that we're alike?

(IMITATES TRUMPET)

Look
Our paths are the same

I don't think it's a coincidence

Far beyond our shallow pose

We can go much deeper

There are no more secrets with you

Assumptions, other frequencies

To explain, I can be more literal

I want to tell you

That I want more from you

What do I need to do

For you to notice me?

I wonder what you think

About us being so distant

What do you need

To see that we're alike?

I wonder what you think

About us being so distant

What do you need to see that we are

Look into my eyes
and say everything you have to say
