01x05 - She's Not So Love-Ly Now

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat funky music playing]

[Sandrinha screaming]

Sandrinha, are you crazy?

Because of you,
I almost ran over two people this week.

Sorry, but this is a big deal.

They'll announce the winner
of Pi Love Day now!

Jeez! Every day, every hour,
this Pi Love Day thing.

No one can bear it anymore.

What's wrong, Marcely?

Is it because your entry video was a bust?

Maybe a little bit.

Oh, Marcely, your video wasn't that bad.

Pi, that's why I think I really need
this opportunity to learn from you.

I'm a big fan of yours...

[Val] Marcely, I can't believe
you left hair in the shower drain!

Mom, I'm recording here...

Tell that to your sister, who's in shock
thinking there's a tarantula in there.

I'll go later, once I finish recording.

Not later. Now, Marcely.

Lohana has to... Lohana...

Lohana has nothing to do.

- No! Mom! Wait a second.
- [Val] Turn it off right now!

No, wait!

I told you to turn it off!

[cell phone chiming]

Mom, what did you do?

It's saying the video was sent.

What? No!

[Marcely groaning]

No!

[Marcely moaning]

[funky music playing]

Pi!

#NOFILTER

[Gustavo laughing]

- You like to laugh at your friends, right?
- Hold on, guys. Shut up!

They'll announce it now.

- In three, two, one...
- [countdown music playing]

- [cell phone chiming]
- [Sandrinha screaming]

- What's the matter?
- Honey...

Spit it out, Sandrinha!

No.

[both muttering, screaming]

Gustavo,

I won the Pi Love Day!

With that video?

- Here's my name. It's me, Gu, look!
- Impossible.

[all screaming]

She did it!

I think she liked that I'm sincere,
I don't know.

Oh my God! Pi Love's coming to my house!

She is going to meet my family!

Pi Love is coming to my house.

[Marcely gulping] She'll meet my family.

Yeah, honey.

Good luck.

[funky music playing]

What is it, Marcely? A problem in college?

- Did you fail any classes?
- No, no, college is great.

I'm studying hard.

If it isn't urgent, bye.
Mr. Ademar's waiting...

No, Mom, it is urgent.

Marcely won the Pi Love Day!

What's that? A coupon for pillows?

No, Mom.

Don't you remember Pi Love?
She's been to the grocery store.

Many people go there.
I can't remember everybody!

But nobody with 20 million followers.

So what?

Our daughter will spend a whole day
learning from her tomorrow.

- Here, in our home!
- No, wait a minute!

Marcely, you scheduled something here
without telling me?

[tutting] Unbelievable.

No, it's unbelievable!

It wasn't me, Mom. It was Pi Love herself.
I couldn't say no.

But it's just one day.

You don't have to worry about anything.
I'll be in the spotlight.

- [Lohana] You don't say.
- Lohana, mind your business, please.

Mom, look,
this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Pi Love will teach me
everything she knows.

Can she do the laundry,
pick up her panties from the bathroom?

- If she can, she'll be of great help.
- [Romualdo] Val, you don't get it.

It's a big deal.
Our baby girl is going to be a star!

Yeah, Mom, please.

I beg you, Val, please.

[heavenly music playing]

[Val] Okay, guys.

- [all cheering]
- But I don't want a mess here!

- [Marcely] Sure.
- Don't worry.

I booked my day off for tomorrow, okay?

Our family needs to be together
for this remarkable day.

Wait. Including me?

Sure, the whole family.

I don't even know what to wear.

So, about that family thing,
I wanted to talk to you.

Tomorrow, could we at least try to be a...

normal family?

Aren't we a normal family?

- Of course not.
- Rubria!

I'm not normal? Isn't our family normal?
We're not... Our family...

Marcely, save it, please!

What a shame, Marcely! What a shame.

- [Marcely sighing]
- [Romualdo] Calm down, baby.

I'll take care of it.

"Normal" will be our last name tomorrow.

And "Trouble" will be the first name.

[whimsical music playing]

Dude, my video turned out great.

Why do you think she didn't pick me?

[dreamy music playing]

Pi, sweetie, it's on your birth chart.

Look. The retrograde Pluto cycle
is in the 19th house.

It's a new zodiac house
that I created myself.

If you don't pick me,
things can go so badly.

The eclipse in Aries shows
your life will only improve by 2024.

If you don't pick me,

avoid cars for the next few days.

Pick me.

- Pick me.
- [dramatic flourish playing]

Pick me.

Let it go, Cousin.

[voice breaking] No, yeah,
I already let it go.

I'm very happy for Marcely.

[Max] Relax.

[Sandrinha crying] Why her and not me?

Oh my God...

- What's up, Cousin? No, hey!
- [Sandrinha exhaling]

Look at me.

Marcely is just very charismatic, right?

[Sandrinha] Huh?

So are you.

- You're charismatic too.
- I know.

But she really has a...

She has a smile, something...

What's wrong with my smile?

No, your smile is great. Yeah.

- Really?
- You have many qualities.

But...

[romantic music playing]

...I think it's also the way
she does her livestreams, you know?

[birds chirping]

There's a...

[smacking lips] Something...

Oh, I see.

You're a Marcely fan, right?

[music stops]

- Why are you like this?
- Does Luísa know?

What? What about Luísa?
She's not even here.

She's in Canada. So far away.

- [music stops]
- [Val sighing heavily]

[Rubria groaning, chuckling]

[Val] Hey, hey!

[tutting] Put the coffee down.
It's not for you.

- Oh, Val!
- Gosh!

- Don't put the butter there.
- No?

Everything should form a circle
around the flowers.

Like I showed you on YouTube.

Oh, on YouTube.

Sure, the butter looks much better there.

[chuckling] Guys,
I'm amazed at this table.

It looks wonderful!

Normal families like this
know how to welcome guests.

[Romualdo] Val.

Relax, Romualdo,
I won't argue with anyone today.

By the way, the coffee is pretty watery.

Oh, is it, Rubria?
I'll make another one. Don't worry.

Wow! Rubria, I'd like to ask you a favor.

Could you keep an eye on Sandrinha today?

She sent me
some weird messages last night.

I'm kinda worried.
She can make me look bad with Pi.

Relax. You won't even smell her
in this house.

Actually, you will.
She and Pi Love wear the same perfume.

But you get the idea.

- [Marcely] Okay.
- Won't Lohana help with the setup?

Dad, I'm fresh out of my pajamas.

- I'm here fluffing the cushions.
- [doorbell ringing]

[gasping] Oh my God! It's Pi Love.

Open the door, baby!

- [Marcely] Okay.
- Hurry!

- Relax. Everything's fine.
- Go.

Hold on, wait.

- Change places with me.
- Okay.

- Come on!
- Okay!

[whimsical music playing]

[Marcely squealing]

[man] Marcely, right?

[Marcely] Yeah, and you are?

Charles Love. I am Pi Love's advisor,
cameraman, best friend, and confidant.

- You thought she was going straight in?
- [Marcely] Yeah, I...

Poor thing. Pi Love is in the car
waiting to make an entrance.

I came first to settle some details, like,

I'm going to need better faces!

What?

More joy! More excitement!

And act naturally.

- Okay?
- [Val] Mm-hmm.

- Okay?
- Okay.

[Charles exclaiming]

[Rubria chuckling]

[Charles moaning]

- Come on, guys, joy...
- Okay, baby.

...excitement and naturalness, Mom.

Okay. I'm fine here.

Guys, I'm already here.

You have no idea. It looks like
a low-budget movie location...

[all screaming]

- Shouldn't we act naturally?
- Pi Lovers, this is Marcely.

- She's such a sweetheart!
- I'm so happy to meet you, Pi!

It's my pleasure. I always feel pleasure.

The family. The family.

The family! And this is Marcely's family!

Mom.

I already knew that.
You're Marcely's mother. Am I right?

Ms. Val, your smile
is a little scary. Relax.

She's a bit cuckoo.
I can tell I loved this family!

[whispering] Hair!

Now we want to know...

The Internet is abuzz today.

Everyone wants to know

if Marcely took her hair out of the drain.

[all laughing]

She did, Marcely is a wonderful daughter.

[all laughing nervously]

[Lohana chuckling]

Sorry, I was sent something very funny,
but you guys can go on.

That's my sister, Lohana.

So this is Lohana!

- Yeah.
- Look how cute this girl is.

So cute!

Pi Lovers, my darlings, stay tuned.
We'll show you step-by-step

Marcely's transformation.
And, believe me, she needs it.

- I'm a bit nervous, Pi!
- She's nervous, guys!

[whispering] Down a notch.

- Marcely, no need to be nervous.
- That's it.

I'm here and I'm going to be
your fairy godmother today.

[Pi Love groaning]

[Charles] Wake up, guys!

Wake up!

Now stay tuned.
We'll upload stories all day

about this transformation on Pi Love Day.

- Guess who's here? Charles!
- [Charles exclaiming]

Tell them where you'll post the videos.

Check out our YouTube channel!
It's crazy in here! [screaming]

[all screaming]

Excuse me, please.

And now, to finish it off,
I want a big "hi"

from this cuckoo family!

[all exclaiming]

Gorgeous!
Bye, Pi Lovers. Thanks for watching.

Bye! Was it good?

- I don't feel good.
- Gosh!

- Charles, get that medicine.
- Medicine.

Where's Pi Love's dressing room?

[Val laughing]

- [Charles] What's so funny?
- You said, "dressing room."

Yes. Where is it?

Put your things in my room.
I can show you where it is.

By the way, Pi, I have a question.

How do I call you? Pi Love, Pi, honey...

- [shushing] Just Pi is fine.
- Just Pi.

I'm Romualdo,
but you can call me Mumu Cely's Dad.

So sweet. My pleasure.

And I'm Rubria. Nice to meet you.
I'm Marcely's cousin and friend.

But I can be whatever you want.
Confidant, assistant...

Sweetheart, where's your room?

It's down the hall, I can show you.

Hey! My bed is the one on the left.

Please don't put anything there.

- [Romualdo] Lohana!
- Dad, I said "please."

She said "please."

There's also my bed.
It's the bottom bunk. It's yours.

- Let's go.
- Thank you.

Go there.

Hey! Don't you want to have breakfast?

- I'd love it.
- But there's probably nothing vegan.

- Coffee is vegan.
- Yeah.

[both] Um...

- No, coffee makes me sick.
- It's bad for her stomach.

Pi, no problem.
Come on, I'll show you the room.

[tense music playing]

Darlings, it's...

Will you guys help me unload the car?

- Oh...
- Oh...

I'll help you.

So you go first, and I'll be right there.

[Rubria slurping]

[Rubria] This one is good, Ms. Val!

- Is it good?
- This time, you got it.

- Really?
- It's good.

Mumu, I'm coming with you!

- [cell phone chiming]
- [Lohana chuckling]

Awesome.

Mr. Mumu, I don't understand
why we have to do everything on our own.

Dear, you need to understand

that the audiovisual industry
is a hierarchy.

One day, you're unloading the car,
and the next, you might win the Oscar.

[Rubria chuckling]

It sucks!

Damn it!

[Rubria straining]

[Rubria] There's something weird here!

[Rubria screaming]

[funky music playing]

[cell phone chiming]

Can I start? Okay.

Hi, guys, I'm Marcely or Cely No Filter.

I'm so excited about this Pi Love Day.

Excited to learn everything.
Super excited!

- Wow! Wow!
- [Charles squealing]

I loved it!

I thought it was outstanding.
[chuckling nervously]

Thank you.

- But can we do it again?
- Again. Right away.

Again? Well, I usually record my content
in just one take.

- I think it sounds more natural.
- [both] Um...

I think the concept's amazing.

But now, you're a pro.
It's something different.

Yeah? No, of course. You're right.

- Let's do it again.
- Hey, hey, hey!

I'm here. Pi Love is here.

I'll do everything to solve...

everything.

Everything.

What's "everything"?

[funky whimsical music playing]

- [Rubria] Sandrinha!
- Hi!

- Where are you going?
- I'm visiting my friend Cely.

My bestie. Excuse me.

You really have no shame.

- [Sandrinha] What?
- I know you're here for Pi Love.

Rubria, I beg you.
It may be my only chance to meet my muse.

- I promise, it'll be quick.
- No way, sorry.

[sighing] Ruru...

Sansan!

Today's just for family.

It's an intimate, private thing.

What if I give you something in return?

Like what?

- Seven reais?
- Please, it's all I have!

Get lost. I have a lot to do.
I have luggage to carry, you know?

- Yes, fine. I got it.
- Great.

Sandrinha, hey!

[Max] What the heck?

So violent...

Ta-da!

[screaming] What is this, bro?
Get that thing out of here!

Don't talk about Pi like that!

I'll say whatever I want.
Her fans are insane!

Stop!

What do you mean?

I defended Marcely
in that Pi Love Day post,

in that thing, you know?

Now they're attacking me.

- Why did you do that?
- Because they were trashing her!

A lot of jealous and idle people.

Should I watch and say nothing?
Marcely is...

Isn't she? She's my friend, right?

Just so I understand,
did you take away Marcely's chance

to have a beef with Pi Love fans?

Oh... Yeah...

[scoffing] He's lost his marbles.

That's a golden opportunity!

- Is it?
- Of course!

[whimsical music playing]

How would I know?
I have nothing to do with it,

but they accessed my profile
and are attacking me.

- I don't know what to do. Look.
- Let me see.

[Max] See?

You've gained 18 followers?

- Eighteen followers?
- It doesn't matter!

I built this barbershop with much love
and dedication. Look at me.

Cousin, I'm an artist.
I have a reputation to uphold.

Help me, please.

Here we go. Let's make you look...
Sweetie, you have to stay still

or you'll mess it up.

- It gives me the creeps, Pi.
- Well...

- It gives me the creeps!
- Hey!

- What's this?
- [Pi Love] Cut.

Sweetie, I don't like doing
makeup tutorials either, right?

No one does!

[Pi Love] Mm-hmm.

But it's necessary because it gets views.

I'm back.

- You look beautiful, baby!
- [Pi and Charles] Aww!

Dad, get out!

It's Dad! It's Daddy!

[chuckling] Let's make her cute!
Let's make her cute!

I'll finish this line.

One, two, three, done!
Meow now, look at this cat eye!

- [Marcely meowing]
- [Pi Love squealing]

Pi, I'm boiling hot.

Cut.

Sweetie, think of the Alps.

Sorry, I've never been there.

Poor thing.

- Think of a cold place.
- Nova Friburgo? Gravatá?

The important thing
is to feel cold, sweetie.

Feel a shiver of cold
at the nape of your neck.

And four. Come on,
sweetheart, give me five.

And five! Cut, cut, cut, cut.

- Cut.
- Wait, I can do more.

You don't have to.
She's so sweet! [chuckling]

At Pi Love's training,
we only do five reps.

- The editing does the rest. Hmm?
- [Charles coughing]

What's this?

[Charles coughing]

- What's this, guys?
- Oh no.

[Charles] Jeez!

[Pi Love sneezing]

[Pi Love] Tissues!

Gosh!

[jazzy music playing]

Dad, what are you doing?

Relax, baby. It's lunchtime,
so I'm barbecuing.

- I can't believe it.
- [Romualdo] Easy.

I know Pi Love doesn't eat meat,
so I got some zucchini, eggplant...

Look, it's a watermelon!

It's not that, Dad. I'm training.

But you need to eat something, right?

Pi, how do you like your watermelon?

Watermelon gives me indigestion.

Wait, weren't you vegan?

[Pi Love] Mm-hmm.

I'm a vegan in progress.

What matters is
that Pi Love's persona is vegan.

It goes better with her brand.

You got some ribs there?

[Romualdo chuckling]

[meat sizzling]

- Mmm. Ribs!
- Very rare, okay?

[funky music playing]

Cousin, do you think this will work?

[Sandrinha] Certainly! Come on, hug her.

- [Max] How...
- Hug her with love, she deserves it.

- Come on. Not so intimate.
- Jeez!

- What's this?
- She's my friend! Come on.

- Is this okay?
- Yeah.

It's kinda bad.

- Switch sides.
- Better.

- This is her best look.
- I'm feeling weird.

- Hold her hand.
- [camera shutter clicking]

That's not gonna work. You think it will?

Absolutely!

- Just do it lovingly.
- Will it work?

That's it?

[Sandrinha] Give her a hug
of true friendship.

- Watch your hand.
- No.

Hold her hand.

[Sandrinha] That's it!

- [camera shutter clicking]
- Done!

[Max] There...

Pi Lovers already love you. [chuckling]

They're pretty crazy, right, Pi? [kissing]

That's why

I only use Pi Love Fit now.

It's an eco-friendly food
that satisfies your hunger

and helps you take care
of what really matters,

your body.

And...

Cut!

[Charles gasping]

Perfect.

I loved it! I think we got it now.

Are you sure?
I don't know if this whole body thing...

[Pi Love shushing]

I am sure. It's what sells.

It took hard work. Really hard.

But we're getting there!

[Pi Love] Mmm.

Almost. There's still one thing missing.

- What?
- [funky music playing]

You'll need an agent,
confidant, cameraman,

who will work 24 hours a day
to make you a star.

Well, in that case,
nothing else is missing.

I already know who I'll pick.

Gustavo!

[music fading]

[Pi and Charles groaning]

[funky music playing]

[knocking on door]

Come on, honey, I still have to work!

Marcely, I...

[heavenly music playing]

- Marcely?
- M. Love!

What?

I'm a Love now!

- Oh...
- So?

Hi!

- Do you like it?
- It's kinda different.

He's handsome, huh? I see potential there.

I can hear you, okay? Gustavo.

Charles Love.

[chuckling] What's going on here?

So, Gu, I called you here today

because I want to invite you

to be my agent, cameraman,

and confidant,

to dedicate 24 hours of your day
to making me a star.

A star!

Will you be my Gu Love?

[drum roll playing]

[all squealing]

Honey, thank you, but I can't.

- How come?
- First, you're not the Marcely I know.

Second, I already do all this,
but as your friend, not your employee.

And third, I have my van. So...

No, wait a minute,
you'd rather drive your van

than be M. Love's assistant?

Obviously, Marcely.

Gustavo, you don't know
the opportunity you're missing.

It's your chance
to make something of yourself.

[Gustavo] Wow! [scoffing]

"Make something of myself"?

- Are you joking?
- My career isn't a joke, Gustavo.

Look, I don't know what's going on,
but the atmosphere is really weird.

This M. Love is a mistake,

full of filters, from head to toe.

- My pleasure.
- Sure.

Excuse me.

- [funky music playing]
- [door opening]

Drama! This will look great
in the director's cut.

M...

I need to tell you something
about this influencer journey.

It's very important.
It's going to hurt. Are you ready?

You need to learn
how to hand-pick your friends.

The more on top you are,

the more people will want you to fall.

Got it?

Yeah.

- You're right.
- I am! I am!

For now, let's forget
about this assistant thing.

Baby, I can be your assistant!

Not now, Dad. You're in the way.

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

Marcely, I wanna talk to you.

M, could you let her know
we're in a hurry?

The reveal is about to begin.
We can't miss the golden hour.

It won't be long. Come here.

I'll be right back, okay?

- What is it?
- I can't work like this.

- What do you want?
- Watch your tone. I'm your mother.

Don't you realize
how ridiculous you're being?

It's sad to see.

I'd punch Charles Love in the face,
if I hadn't just painted my nails.

Have you gone crazy?

You should thank Pi Love for being here
to teach me everything.

Tell them, Dad.

Dad?

Baby, you know I'm always on your side.

But, this time, they're right.

What's this?
Are you teaming up against me?

At least Charles Love
and Pi Love really want to help me.

You think so?

Look at you, Marcely.
You look like an impaled c*ck.

That's what you wanna be?
An impaled c*ck?

[Val sighing heavily]

We're coming to the end
of our Pi Love Day, Pi Lovers!

And that's why I'm wearing this look.
Show the look, Charles!

Green is the color of hope.

Was it hard? It was.

Did I think I wouldn't make it? Certainly!

But that's what I always say,
and my followers are tired of hearing,

"Where there's a will, there's a way."

Buy my book, link in bio.

Now I think we could show the anticipation

of this cute family that I met here.

Drum roll!

[drum roll playing]

[Pi and Charles exclaiming]

It looks like the family
can't wait any longer.

So without further ado,
without further delay,

it's with great joy,
much honor, and difficulty

that I present to you our M. Love!

- What's this?
- Excuse me, Pi Love.

- Sorry, but this is me.
- Cut!

- Marcely, or rather, Cely No Filter.
- Oh my God!

- Bravo!
- [all cheering]

Cut! Did you cut it?

What do you think you're doing, girl?
Have you gone crazy?

You're gonna cry?

This is my job, sweetheart!

It's my job too, sweetheart!

Sweethearts, this is not a job. Okay?

- Val!
- Listen...

You know what? You're ungrateful!

Because Charles and I are here
working hard to help you!

Helping me by changing who I am?

But that was the goal,
to make the new Pi Love.

Well, it didn't work, Pi.

I'd rather be who I really am.

What nonsense!

We should've picked Sandrinha,
that nutcase.

But we thought you, a hopeless cause,
would be a catchier "before and after."

- Can I slap them now?
- [all] No!

No, Mom.

- Let me do the talking.
- Talk, then.

[sighing] Maybe I don't meet
your standard,

but at least I'm authentic.

That's right. My sister is weird,
but we like her just the way she is.

[Pi Love] You know what?

You wanna know? I've had enough!

- I'm exhaus... Let's go. Get my purse.
- Let's go!

Will you guys help me
put everything back in the van?

- Sure.
- Romualdo!

- Dad, for God's sake!
- Romualdo.

- Beat it!
- [Charles] What's this?

- Mom, no!
- Get out!

- Go away!
- Mom!

I'll take it little by little.

[Marcely] I'm sorry about today.

I got carried away by Pi Love's craziness.

But I promise I'll never forget
who's really on my side.

Okay, Dad?

So what if we're not a normal family?
What matters is that we love each other.

I love you, guys.

- Oh, baby...
- [Marcely] Forgive me?

[Rubria exclaiming]

[tender funky music playing]

[Marcely] Come here. Come.

Okay, that's great and all,
but let's get this over with.

Marcely, there's more people
you should apologize to.

Right.

Look, sincerers,

never believe everything
you see on social media, okay?

We think we know a person
by what we see in their feed!

Until we see a light
to show that it's all lies.

[car engine running]

[car horn honking]

Marcely, sorry, M. Love.
I need to park my van. Will you excuse me?

- Only if you forgive me.
- Oh my...

Gu, I was awful to you, right?

I said all that nonsense.

In fact, you're the most important person
in the world to me.

I'm sorry, please.

Hey, you need to apologize to me too.

You wouldn't let me in your house.

Uh, yeah, I know, honey.

I swear I won't let anything
come between us anymore.

I'm sorry.

- Okay.
- Okay.

[Sandrinha] Besides,

thanks to you, Marcely...

I got this cardboard cut-out of Pi Love.

Marcely?

- Hi.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- I'm okay. Are you okay?

Great. Nice to see you.
Too bad the Pi Love thing didn't work.

It's for the best, actually.

I agree. I really do.

I like Cely No Filter
way more than Pi Love.

[chuckling]

And he struggled to defend you
from the Pi Lovers on the Internet.

- [Marcely] What does she mean?
- She's exaggerating. She talks too much!

Exaggerating?
I'm not saying nearly enough.

He spent all day
defending you on the Internet

to everyone who spoke ill of you.

Luísa is calling me. I gotta go.

We'll talk later.

- Bye, Cousin.
- [Sandrinha] Bye, Cousin.

Honey, I love you.

Now excuse me, I really do need to park.

Sorry.

It's time for Ms. Vera's dinner.
She's starving.

She's feeling sick.

- [Gustavo] Just a second, Ms. Vera. God!
- Relax.

- We're almost there.
- I'm sorry, Ms. Vera.
