02x04 - Honesty First... or Not

[bunniefuu]

[Bernardo]
Previously on All the Same or Not…

This is where we first met, isn't it?

[chuckles]
You were desperately chasing Pluto.

[laughs] You even remember the dog's name.

You're crazy, man. [laughs]

You haven't seen anything yet.

Please, you're my partner.

I need your ideas, your talent,
to change the world.

Uh, did we have plans, Be?

We planned for me to surprise you.

I don't even know how to thank you
for this opportunity.

Beta's stoked about all this too, man.

-You're hooking up with Tomás! [laughs]
-Girlfriend! Shh!

It was one kiss and those messages.

Carol
good morninggg

[Amanda] I get it now. What a situation!

What about Beta? She's gonna be hurt, huh?

What now, girl? What about Bernardo?

Are you thinking about being with Tomás?

Ah! [grunts, groans]

ALL THE SAME…

Hey, how's it going?

Everything's good. And you?

I'm good.

I brought some of my sketches
for you to take a look at.

-I'd really like your opinion.
-All right, give them here.

-Your sketches are great.
-[chuckles]

Thanks.

Oh, my parents--

They're renovating a room in our house,

and i-it's kind of unbelievable, you know?
Because now I have a place all to myself,

with, uh… [clicks tongue]
…a thousand different materials.

Wow, that's so cool. I'd like to see it.

[chuckles]
You'd love it. It's really amazing.

[gasps] We could make plans
for you to drop by.

Cool!

They really remind me of mine
from when I was a kid.

[chuckles] Leo!

Relax. I'm not saying
they look like a kid drew them.

They just reminded me--

Mine were awful.

And yours are very cool.

When I was a kid, I used drawings
to talk to my brother.

It took me a long time to get
a hearing aid and learn sign language.

Yeah, I-- I think I get it a bit.

I feel like my sketches help me.

For sure.

-They're beautiful.
-[gasps] Hey.

Have you thought of a sign for me?

Slow down. It doesn't happen that fast.

[Leo laughs]

Your sketches are perfect. Haven't you
ever thought of doing graffiti?

Your pencil strokes…
[vocalizes] …are amazing.

I-- I'm still discovering myself,
you know?

[chuckles]
I don't even know where to start!

Start by starting.

-Really?
-Mm-hmm.

-[Beta chuckles]
-[phone beeps]

Amanda
guys, Tomás was in an accident

Carol's phone died
and she asked me to tell you

Uh, sorry, I…

-[mouthing] Everything all right?
-Okay, yeah,

I've got to go. Bye!

OR NOT

[door opens]

-[sighs]
-[Beth] Oh, honey.

Mmm. How are you?

I was worried about you guys.

Oh, don't worry.
This guy here has a thick skull.

It won't ever break.
He'll be good as new in 48 hours.

-[Beth chuckles]
-Ha ha ha. You're funny.

-Okay, off to your room. Let's go.
-[Beth chuckles]

[groans]

[Carlos] Lie down, kiddo.

Guys, it's not a big deal, okay?

If it wasn't a big deal, you wouldn't
be wearing this thing around your neck

or have spent a night
at the hospital, huh?

I was just under observation, okay?

Wow, you make it seem like, I don't know,
I was hospitalized or something.

It was an accident. It happens.
It's over. It's done.

I'll go make you guys a snack because
no one deserves the food at the hospital.

Mom, are you sure
I can't help with anything?

It's so nice to see
the two of you getting along, you know?

But there's really no need.
I've got it under control.

Go enjoy your day.
It's so beautiful outside.

-Go to the beach with the girls.
-Sure.

-All right?
-Take care.

-I love you.
-I love you too.

Oh, don't forget to get
my old phone from the dresser,

just so you don't stay off the grid
while yours is broken.

-Fine.
-Good?

-Thanks, I'll get it. Bye, Mom!
-Bye. Be careful!

-Okay!
-[chuckles]

Bernardo
you okay over there??

Carol
my phone died yesterday

what a scare

-Carol, sorry! [pants]
-Beta? [chuckles]

What are you doing here?

I just heard, so I ran over
to see how he's doing and…

Why did you only tell Amanda?

My bad, girl.
My phone died yesterday and--

[sighs] Oh, everything happened so fast.

[sighs] No, it's okay. I just--

[sighs] It was scary, that's all.

But you should have called me, dear.

I really should have.

My mom and Carlos asked me
not to worry anyone

because Tomás was just under observation.

Mmm. All right.

Listen, I'm so sorry for complaining.

I-- I can't even imagine
how they must be feeling. Sorry.

[sighs] It's okay.

Shall we? The girls are probably waiting.

Oh! No, I-- I'm going to see
how he's doing.

-Oh, of course! Okay.
-But enjoy the beach, yeah?

Thanks.

But I was skateboarding normally.
I just decided to send a text,

and there was a pebble on the ground.
[chuckles]

I didn't see it.

Wow, rookie mistake. That's what you get!

[chuckles]

Aren't you meeting the girls today?
At the beach?

Oh, sure! I just got here
and you want me to leave, is that it?

No, my bad.
Sorry. I didn't mean it that way.

It's just, I wasn't expecting you
to visit, you know?

Actually, I--
I took the day off to spend it with you.

Really?

[chuckles]

Yeah.

So, wanna watch a movie?

Oh, but you already knew
you were going to ace your finals, right?

You're not really surprised, are you?

Well, every teacher is different, right?

Today I got the last missing "okay."

Now, I want to know
all about your meeting!

Well, first she wants
to study my social media numbers,

like, during these first few weeks,
you know?

Social media?
Are you sure that's a good idea?

Don't you think it'll distract you

instead of making you focus
on what's really important?

What do you think?
That I'll get starry-eyed?

After everything we've already done?

Look, I think… [sighs]

I think we'd better
continue this conversation later.

I can't. I'm traveling today.

Traveling? Where?
You didn't mention anything in your texts.

Focus on what you have on your plate.
Everything's going to be all right.

All right. I need to get ready
for my meeting too.

-I love you.
-Me too.

[Amanda] Girl, I loved your edit!

You're outdoing yourself
every day, you know?

I love watching your videos online.

Thanks. [chuckles] It's just kind of hard
to deal with some of those comments, but…

Girl, even our moms criticize us.

Did you think you were going to
escape the Internet unharmed?

Not to mention that
it's easy to criticize something

-that's finished and posted, isn't it?
-Hmm. Mmm.

I really admire how determined you are
and how you focus on your dreams.

Sometimes I feel so lost, you know?

Clueless about what to do.

Remember we used to pretend
to make movies? You and me? [laughs]

Oh!
What was our production company called?

-Amix! [laughs]
-Amix! [laughs]

Well, I'll be! This beach really is
full of hotties, isn't it?

-[gasps] You came!
-[Trix laughs]

I couldn't stay away from you.

Hey, Trix,
amazing video you posted yesterday!

[Amanda] You see?

[Igor] Hi, Carol.

-Hey.
-[Amanda laughs]

-You all right?
-Yeah, all good.

Pri, I'm so impressed
by how you engaged with the audience

and how committed you are.

Mmm.

Some people from "The Future is Green!"
reached out to me

to say how happy they are
with your first article.

Apparently, there was a huge spike
in volume on their site

for the term "compost bin"
after your column.

[exhales sharply] Wow, that's awesome, Lê!

If I've managed to plant
even one tiny seed, I'm happy!

One? [laughs] My dear,
you've planted so many seeds!

They even reached out to me.

Seriously?

Dead serious. I'll even show you my notes.

I am very, very happy, you know,
that we're drawing attention,

that brands are reaching out to us,

but I think it's important
for you to do some research first.

Like, whether the brand only works
with organic food

or, if it is clothing,

that they're not connected
to any kind of poor working conditions.

I completely understand
where you're coming from.

But you should probably be
a bit more open-minded, no?

It's good money.

You said yourself, you need money to keep
helping your NGOs. Didn't you say that?

And then, who knows,

instead of planting one tiny seed,
you could plant a whole forest. Hmm?

Yeah.

[Igor] Amanda told me you like movies.

We went to see Headway the other day.

-Have you seen it yet?
-No way, no. I've been dying to see it.

I'm drowning in schoolwork,
and I have no time. Is it good?

[Igor] Wow, we absolutely loved it.

-I'm going to go help Carol real quick.
-[Trix] Oh. Mm-hmm.

I hear the cinematography
and script are amazing.

What's going on, huh?

[inhales sharply]

I'm losing my mind, Amanda.

I can't stop thinking about
Beta and Tomás at my house!

I'm a bundle of nerves. [sighs]

I think I really like him, girl.

-What do I do about Bernardo?
-Relax, Carol. Relax.

Worrying gets you nowhere.

I think you need to take a break from him.

At least until you work out this mess,
you know?

[sighs] Yeah, right.

[inhales deeply, sighs]

-Oh, come on.
-[Amanda] Breathe.

[chuckling] For next time, I will choose.

Oh! Hi. Well, how was the beach?

Great!

Were you here this whole time?

Wow, I don't know.
I lost track of time, you know, I--

We started watching a movie, and then…

Uh, well… [chuckling]
…I have to get going.

I need a shower.

All right.

[knocking on door]

I don't want to talk to you.

Hi, honey, did I do something wrong?

[sighing] Oh, Mom. No. Sorry.

Did something happen with Beta?

Something happened.

She's upset with me

because I didn't call her yesterday
to tell her about Tomás.

Oh, come on,
it was all so confusing, honey.

Your phone was broken.

Were you supposed to call
just to scare her and say,

"Look, your boyfriend's in the hospital.
He hit his head"?

Sh-she's got to understand.

They're not dating.

Wow, still? [chuckling] What a soap opera!

[sighs]

You know what Carlos
and I thought might be cool?

We could have a couples' dinner party.

You know, have you and Bernardo,
Beta and Tomás…

Terrible idea?

[inhales deeply] That's not it, Mom.

[sighs] Ugh, I-I have something else
on my mind. Really.

I was talking to Amanda about something
really serious before you arrived.

Oh… [chuckles] …of course.
I-- Yeah. I'll be going, okay?

Just make sure to be there for Amanda
and let her vent. She needs it.

Hey, I took your damp clothes, yeah?

Don't leave them
on the floor like that, honey.

[sighs]

[door closes]

Carol
meet me tomorrow here at the park?

[playing simple tune]

[knocking on door]

Hey.

[sighs, chuckles]

-I brought you a little something.
-[gasps]

Whoo! Oh!

[gasps] How cute!

-It's a one-piece!
-Mm-hmm. [chuckles]

Wow!

-It's beautiful!
-I thought so too.

I had to get it. It'll look
even more beautiful on your body.

[Amanda chuckles]

I'll put it on right now.

And that's how the vegan casserole
was created, can you believe it?

I added salt by accident,
then I tasted it and said,

-"Wow, that's good!"
-[both laugh]

And it's the best-selling casserole
in the pastry shop.

-I love it. It's delicious.
-I love it too.

-[Carlos laughs]
-[Beth] What's up?

How's that head of yours?

[Carlos] Good morning.

It's working, I think.

But someone's missing here, no?
Where's Carol?

Or is my mind playing tricks on me?

Carol went to the beach.

It's Sunday, isn't it?
On Sundays, that's all she thinks about.

The beach, sun, sea and her friends.
[chuckles]

And you? How'd it go with Beta yesterday?

Normal.

Normal?
That's all you have to say? "Normal"?

Listen, we want to know more.

-Firstly, because Beta's an amazing girl.
-Okay.

Secondly,
because we all love to gossip. Huh?

No, there's nothing else to say, Dad.
It was just normal.

Ah. Sure. [chuckles]

-Ready?
-[Carlos] Ready.

Son, I'm going to pop over
to the pastry shop with Beth.

Are you okay home alone?

I'm not sick, Dad.

Besides, Nick's coming over,
since I can't leave the house, you know?

Okay. But watch it.

-[grunts]
-What are you doing?

-[both chuckle]
-Dude.

If you need anything, just call. Okay?

You too.

Tomás
come over later?

Then, when she started
removing those materials,

it was great. So exciting.

-[Beta laughs]
-Yeah, I can imagine.

-[Martha chuckles] Right, honey?
-Hmm. Remember when we opened your store?

-Mm-hmm. I mean, how could I not?
-[Martha] Hmm.

[Fabrício] It was the same feeling!

[Martha] Oh, how are things with, uh…
[stammers] …Tomás?

-[phone beeps]
-Is everything good?

Yeah, everything's good.
He's learning. You know how it is.

He's still getting the hang of things,
learning…

Tomás
come over later?

…to put everything where it belongs,
but I'm teaching him…

Beta
fine

He's enjoying himself, at least.

And I'm glad, because I need
someone to help at the store,

and I can't keep exploiting
Roberta's labor forever, right?

-[Beta laughs]
-[Fabrício] Yeah, you really can't!

Especially now that Beta needs to
focus on her own things, right, honey?

-[Alex] Mm-hmm.
-Oh, Dad, don't exaggerate, okay?

I'm doing perfectly fine.

There's enough time in the day,
and I like helping Alex.

[laughs]
Good! It's the least we could ask for.

[all laugh]

But look, seriously now, what you guys did
for her is so cool. You know that, right?

I hadn't seen this little creature
so happy in a long time.

-You sure are dramatic today, aren't you?
-It's true.

Listen, I'll be going.
The girls are waiting for me, so…

Honey, did you put on sunscreen?

I did, Mom.

And be careful. Send them all a kiss.

Hey, hey, hey.
Aren't you forgetting something? Hmm?

-He's taken to acting out now.
-[Alex laughs]

[Fabrício] I love you, honey.

Hey, hey, hey.
Aren't you forgetting something?

[Martha] Ah!

-Hmm!
-[Martha] You kiss one, you kiss us all!

Oh, I don't know. I got kind of insecure.
I think Tássia might be right.

No way, Pri. You didn't agree,
and you didn't need to agree, you know?

I think, when you're starting,
it's probably always like this.

She's going to try everything,
and then you set your boundaries

and she also gradually learns
what works and what doesn't.

Yeah. It's like my mom says, you know?

A "no," it-- it only closes one door.

There's still lots of
other doors to open. Hmm?

-I think we're rubbing off on each other.
-[Trix laughs]

-[Trix gasps]
-Hi, girls. I'm sorry, okay?

[Trix chuckling] No problem!

-Cute, isn't he?
-[Trix] Mmm. [laughs]

Girl! What a gorgeous swimsuit!

[gasps] Looking good, girlfriend!

Igor gave it to me.

Wow, this is new! You in a one-piece.

You really have changed,
haven't you, girl?

Whoa! Come on, Trix! Don't make me
look bad, okay? I have company.

[all laugh]

Good morning!

-[Trix] Hi!
-[Amanda] Ah!

Someone sure looks happy.
Is that big smile just for me?

That too! [laughs]

What, peeps, aren't I allowed to be happy
just because I'm happy?

Hmm, sure you are.

But look, I can tell
love is in the air, yeah? [chuckles]

[Beta laughs] Even you?

No, uh, I'm just happy
about my studio and--

and Tomás asked me
to go see him again today.

[Pri] Whoo!

[Beta] And, I don't know, I--

I've been feeling like
he was a little distant.

It was always me texting him, chasing him.

So I'm happy that he invited me over.
Finally! [laughs]

That's good, right?

And they let you try the game
before buying it.

-Awesome!
-I spent the whole weekend there.

Whoa, I didn't know about that event,
like, at all.

And I thought I was a fan of board games.

-[both chuckle]
-Oh, it's cool.

If you want to come with me, we could make
plans and I'll meet you on the subway--

Bruno!

-Oh, I can't believe it! [laughs]
-Ah.

-I've missed you so much!
-Kátia, I missed you too.

-Hi.
-Hi.

-How are you? [chuckles]
-Good.

-He's asleep.
-Oh, right.

Aw, the house isn't the same
without you, Bruno.

I hope you two make amends, you know?

I mean, geez,
at least for the sake of your friendship.

You've known each other for so many years.

Can you imagine leaving
behind all of that history?

Yeah, that's true.

Oh, I'm not going to take up any more
of your time. I'm glad you're doing well.

I am, yes. Thank you.

[sighs]
Well, then, see you later. [chuckles]

-See you.
-See you.

Uh, dude,
I didn't even introduce you, did I?

My bad.
It's just that I felt kind of awkward.

Like, because she's-- she's Trix's mom.

I thought as much.
But it's all right. Relax. [chuckles]

[sighs] All right then.

Guys, can we have lunch?
My stomach is growling already.

[sighs] Oh, I can't. I made plans
to meet Be at the park by my house.

Well, then I think
we're walking together. [chuckles]

Okay.

[Amanda] Ready?

-Bye.
-[Trix] Bye.

Are you okay?

[sighs] Sorry, girlfriend.

I think I'm worrying too much about exams,
and the pastry shop is driving me crazy.

No, I totally get you.

Wow. I was feeling the same way, you know?

But I'm so glad Tomás started
working over at the store. [chuckles]

Now it seems like everything is lighter.
[chuckles]

-Yeah, girl.
-[laughs]

Yeah, and now we see each other
almost every day. [chuckles]

Nice.

-See you later, okay?
-All right. [chuckles]

-See you.
-Later.

What's up?

-Oh, and thanks a lot, dude. Really.
-Oh. [clicks tongue] All good.

Spending my whole Sunday at home
would have been awful.

Wow, you're telling me, dude.

I hate having to stay cooped up
in here with this thing.

-I thought as much.
-[elevator dings]

-Hey, Beta.
-Hi! [chuckles]

How are you?

Good to see you!

Oh, right! Uh, I'll be going, okay, guys?

-Uh, have fun, lovebirds.
-Scram.

-Okay, I'm done. I'm done.
-Dude, scram. Scram.

-What's up? [laughs]
-What's up?

Uh, is everything okay?

More or less.

Did something happen?

No.

I just have trouble expressing
my feelings. You know me. [chuckles]

Spit it out already!

It's been so amazing
being with you all this time.

But?

But I kind of need
some time alone right now.

You know?

There's just some stuff happening…

[inhales deeply] …and

I need some time
to b-be able to process it.

[sighs] I knew there was
something going on, Carol.

You've been acting weird
for the longest time.

Why didn't you talk to me sooner?
Why didn't you find me so we could talk?

Do you understand that
I didn't want to drag you into all this?

But, at the same time, it's not fair
to you to keep going like this.

Listen up.

Dating has its ups and downs, okay?

We're not always at our best,
and that's okay.

What's important is that
we support one another,

and if you need some time, of course
I'll give you whatever time you need,

but that's no reason to break up.

-Be!
-Carol!

Don't do this. It was hard enough
to make this decision.

Uh,

all right. [chuckles]

If-- if there's nothing I can do to help…

[both sigh]

…I guess that's it, right?

I'm sorry for doing this.

Thank you so much, Beta.

Ah, well?

Uh, did you talk to Be?

I did. It went okay.

What about with Tomás?

It was okay. It was okay too. [chuckles]

[inhales sharply, sighs]

Uh, see you tomorrow?

Yeah, for sure.

[Beta] Bye! [chuckles]

[no audible dialogue]

Ugh, I don't think I've ever studied
so much in my life.

Want to stop?

The girls say I overdo it sometimes,

but it's just that we spent
two days at the beach.

I'm feeling kind of guilty already!

-[chuckles] No, you're absolutely right.
-[Trix chuckles]

[phone beeps]

Letícia
What about Folha Flor?

Do you know them?

They reached out and they want to
design a collection with you!

[gasps]

What is it?

You know those gorgeous cotton pants of
mine that have abstract designs on them?

Mm-hmm, I love those pants.

That brand wants
to create a clothing line with me.

-No way.
-[both squeal and laugh]

[door opening]

Surprise!

I like this one because you can see
how it alludes to that other one,

because she has
her own signature style, see?

Yeah. She did a color study.

No, but it's quite clear.
The colors really come alive.

-Yes.
-She has a beautiful style.

-Yeah.
-See? The one next to it too…

Look at this one here. Look.

-You can see her strokes.
-[friend] Really something.

-[Fabrício] Beta! Great timing, honey.
-[Martha] If you need to-- Ah! [laughs]

-Look, this is Ariane Haultner…
-Hello.

-…a friend of ours.
-Pleasure.

She works with the most
famous art galleries in Brazil.

And she's in Rio for the day,

so, your mom and I, we decided
to invite her to come here and meet you.

[Martha] And she works internationally
too, not just in Brazil.

She's like, very influential, you know,
in the art world.

-Wait a minute, to meet me?
-[Martha] Yeah.

[stammering]
Yeah. Look, relax, okay, Beta?

I really did just come here to meet you.

-And, look, I am loving what I see.
-[Martha laughs]

[Ariane] Right? Look how she tests things.
Testing is part of the process.

It's very cool.

So it's natural for you to test
the material and change things later.

-It's part of evolving as an artist.
-[Martha] Mm-hmm.

And, as your parents say,
someday, mark my words,

people will fight over
your first drawings.

-Oh, will they ever!
-These very same drawings

-she's refusing to show.
-[Fabrício laughs] Ah.

No, look, it's so cool
because here you can see a--

-her artistic identity taking shape!
-[Ariane] Yes, yes.

-It's totally different, look. But it's--
-Beta.

I-I'm here whenever you're ready.

Thanks. [chuckles]

Uh, I'm going to take a look
at what I have and think about…

[inhales deeply] Now I-I have to study
because I have an important exam tomorrow

and I haven't even opened my notebook yet,
so will you excuse me?

Of course.

-Think, Fabrício.
-Yeah.

-I'm sorry, Aria.
-Relax.

It's just that, you know,
the minute she started high school--

-It is what it is, right? They get shy.
-Relax. It's all right.

-She had gotten so aloof.
-She's just a teen.

-Yeah.
-But look.

Let me show you one of my favorites.

-Which do you like the most?
-I call this her bird phase.

-Oh, guys, yes.
-There's this one…


WORDS AND TALES - MAY 12/18

[Carol sighs]

Is my mom home?

No. Neither is my dad.

Are you good?

[sighs]

Of course not, Tomás.

I broke up with Bernardo
less than an hour ago, and for what?

To be with the boy
who's dating my best friend?

It's not funny.

[chuckles]

First off, we were never dating.

And secondly,

I'm not even with her anymore.

Really?

Why not?

[chuckles]

I thought you were smarter than that.

[groaning] Wait just a moment.
This thing isn't working.

[grunts] It's all right now.
