01x01 - Bia...

[bunniefuu]

[crying] No.

No! No.

No, no, no, no. No!

Please, no!

No, no, no!

- No. Don't do this to me, please!
- No, no. Bia!

- No!
- I'm sorry, but we can't do this anymore.

- No!
- It's over.

I like you so much.

I know, I know.

I'm... I'm so messed up. I'm so messed
up. Oh, my God. But I... I can change.

Please, I can change!
Please... [gasps]

- Are you okay?
- No! Oh, Victor.

Has he left yet?

Yep.

[laughs, sniffles]

- What was it this time?
- [sighs]

I told him I didn't want anything serious,
but I noticed he was getting attached.

So I started avoiding him to see
if he'd get over it, but he didn't.

So I thought, "I'll
make out with someone

in front of him because then
he'll hate me and end it."

But then I felt really sorry
for him. Like, really bad.

Because, I mean, he's cool,
you know? I care about him.

We just want different
things in life.

And I'm crazy, but I'm not
a total monster either.

So if he thinks I'm a bad
person because I screwed up,

he won't feel so shitty.

So I started to cry.

But then I got scared. "If I cry too much,
he might decide not to break up with me."

But I think it was just the right amount.
It worked. I'm free again. [laughs]

I don't know how you don't land any
roles. You're the best actress I know.

I know! [chuckles]

- Shall we go?
- What, already? What is it? Midnight?

We have work tomorrow,
you know, Bia?

So do we.

Okay, I'm gonna stay, because I'm
young and haven't given up on life yet.

That's not youth.
It's unemployment.

[laughs]

- You're such an as*h*le, man.
- Bye, Bia. Love ya.

- Bye. Good night. See you tomorrow.
- Bye, Bia. Take care.

[Bia] This is me now,
after yet another breakup.

And that's me in my
previous breakup.

Was I sad? Happy? Regretful?

- No, I didn't feel anything. I never do.
- [speaking indistinctly]

I collect relationships that start
and end and don't mean anything.

None of that passion from the movies
where you think about someone for hours.

They're just relationships

or situationships for
two, three, four months.

- Have I not met the right person?
- When I talk to you…

- Am I the problem? This one was so cute.
- …your mind is somewhere else.

But so boring.

It's like you've
teleported somewhere else.

- You have your head in the clouds.
- Two hundred grams of mozzarella…

- You don't care about me…
- …noodles, bananas, soap…

- …about how I feel, about what I think.
- Um, bathroom cleaner, yogurt, some bread.

Bia?

Mmm.

I really wanted to be
able to feel something.

♪ I like you so much ♪

♪ I'd actually rather hide it ♪

Between the lines ♪

[friends laughing]

Silvio, do you want me to ask for one
of those little things to help you?

- "Silvio, do you want me to…" [mumbles]
- Just to help you.

You're hilarious, Fausto.

[Victor] I want that one.

[partner] Okay, go
on. Bowl a strike.

- [groans, laughs]
- Are you here to celebrate a birthday too?

Yes, I am. That one over there.

[person] Mm-hmm.

I'm the official third
wheel for both couples.

[laughs]

Jesus Christ, what
happened to my friends?

We used to go out drinking
until the sun came up.

Now they just want to do daytime
activities. Boring ones like this.

I know exactly what you mean.

See that happy family over there? I'm
with them. It's my godson's birthday.

Would it be okay for me to steal food
from your godson's birthday party?

Because I'm saving
up to buy a bed.

So I'm only eating
one meal a day.

[chuckles]

No, that's fine. I'll tell
them you're my plus one.

[chuckles] For some mini
pizzas and mini hot dogs,

you can call me
anything you want.

- But call me Bia. That's my official name.
- [person] Mm-hmm.

Short for Bianca, not Beatriz.

Marcelo.

Nice to meet you.

- Actress?
- Mm-hmm.

Have I seen you in anything?

My most high-profile
job was as a model.

I'm the girl with the deep brown hair
color by the brand Fabulosa. [chuckles]

So, if someday you want to dye
your hair a deeper shade of brown,

just look for the little
box with my face on it.

Bia, come here. Your
face is covered in sauce.

- Where?
- No, I'll clean it. Come here.

Okay, seriously, I don't understand
how you got it on your forehead.

- No, really?
- [Marcelo] It's gone.

- [Bia] It's gone?
- Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

- [Marcelo grunts]
- [Bia chuckles]

[panting]

- [door slams]
- Hey, hey! What are you two doing in here?

- Run! Run! sh*t! Go, go, go! Go!
- Run, run! Come on!

- Excuse me.
- Come in.

Just don't mind
the chaos, please.

I used to live with Erika. Then
she decided to marry Helena,

so she kicked me out and
I lost half my furniture.

Luckily, I got that
mattress from my neighbor,

otherwise I'd be
sleeping on the floor.

How lucky, because it seems like a nice
mattress, like, really comfortable.

I love it. So, what's the
house's design aesthetic?

The aesthetic is…
captivity. [chuckles]

Hey, it's great, okay?

It's just a bunch of things
I've collected over the years.

Stuff from theater school plays, from
commercials I was in for two seconds.

That sort of thing.

I love it. [chuckles] Awesome.

I'm... I'm gonna use the bathroom really
quick and then get us something to drink.

- Great.
- [Bia] Okay.

[urinating]

f*ck.

YOUR PERIOD STARTS:
tomorrow sat/27

You said it was tomorrow.

- Here you go. Thanks.
- I'll take that.

Um, I'd like to start by
saying that I'm a modern woman.

Okay? Let me straighten this.

And you're gorgeous.

You're in the top three

of the most beautiful faces
I've ever kissed in my life.

And the other two were during auditions,
so I don't even know if they count.

So it is with great
regret that I announce...

That you're on your period.

Yes.

- That's okay.
- But I'm modern.

I... I don't care. I know
it's super normal. I don't...

Bia, it's okay. We can
just chat. Drink all night.

Go for a walk.

See the sunrise somewhere
pretty. It's fine. It's all good.

- Okay.
- Okay. [chuckles]

- I'll put some music on for us.
- [Marcelo] Okay.

[♪ guitar music playing, Wilco,
"Please Be Patient with Me"]

Can I take your picture?

But I'm not a pervert, I'm a
photographer. So it's okay.

Yeah, and every photographer
I've ever met was a pervert.

[chuckles] Can I?

- You're gorgeous.
- Okay, then. What do I do?

- No, you're gorgeous, you're gorgeous.
- [laughs] Dude.

You're beautiful. [chuckles]

Let me find something...
somewhere for us to sit.

It's a mess, sorry.

Sorry, uh…

Hey, Bia, I have a sofa
bed at home I don't use.

You need a bed, I can give
it to you. Interested?

[song continues
playing on radio]

Would you like to
hear my masterpiece?

Absolutely.

Speed trap reported ahead. Go
slowly, it feels much better.

They wanted a sexy female voice to
give instructions to insecure men.

[laughs] Ah, it's so
good! Go on. More.

Accident reported
ahead. Be careful.

I don't know what I would do
if something happened to you.

[laughing]

Can you believe I'm
already hungry again?

[partner] Hey!

Three-way kiss at the bar

Look at this.

Oh, I wish I still had the energy
to stay up drinking that late.

I feel too old to be anywhere
a three-way kiss is happening.

[Victor grunts]

I'm much more into
cuddling and reality shows.

[partner] Hmm.

[partner sighs]

DUPLICATE STICKER

[host 1] Welcome to
Duplicate Sticker.

[host 2] Ten men and ten women.

[host 1] All single, living
together in a luxury resort.

[host 2] With one goal:

[both] Filling the book.

- The women will try to get with…
- How tired are you?

- And the guys will try to get with…
- Want to do it now?

Or do you want to finish
watching the episode?

I don't care.

But if you get with the
same person more than once…

Let's do it now, then?

Mm-hmm. Mmm. [chuckles]

Because duplicate stickers…

[both] …won't fill the book.

- [grunts]
- [grunts]

Isn't that the most
beautiful thing in the world?

- The sea?
- No, I'm talking about them, over there.

They must have spent their
entire lives together.

Her "old man" and
his "old lady."

Poor thing, she must
have had no other choice.

She spent her whole life taking care
of the children, the grandchildren,

while he would go out,
drink, and cheat on her.

Decades of trauma
and resentment.

I don't know. I
think it's beautiful.

Nowadays everything
is so fast, so boring.

They must have a connection
that nobody has anymore.

Look at that. It's beautiful.

One, two, three. Heavy.

- [grunts] Here.
- Pull it over here?

- Yeah. [sighs]
- Okay. Just do this.

- Watch your hand. Look, a sofa.
- [sighs] Great. Oh. Whew!

See?

We did it.

Mission accomplished.

All right, I'm out of here.

Okay.

But if you want, we can meet
up again. What do you think?

- I don't believe in that.
- In what?

I don't believe
in relationships.

I think it's wonderful
for my friends, you know?

I don't... I don't want to keep
repeating this pattern, you know?

Of... Of finding someone cool,

and thinking that it's going
to be something interesting,

then getting bored after three
months and then having to end it.

Or I have to find a
way to get dumped,

because it's hard for me to
get emotionally involved.

I think it would be better
if we ended it here.

As much as I loved
tonight. I loved it.

I see. Great. So, I'll
see ya. See you next time.

[gasps]

But if you... If you want.

We... Well, if you're able to not get
too attached, not fall in love with me.

Promise me you won't
ask to be exclusive.

That you won't, like... We can
take it slow. No strings attached.

And see what... You know, until...
until someone gets over it.

Then we'll stop texting and
we'll let it fizzle out.

Great.

That works for me. Awesome.

- All right.
- [Marcelo] So…

- I k*lled the mood, huh? A little bit?
- You did. [chuckles] Just a little bit.

My bad.

Uh…

We can kiss.

- Great idea.
- Just to…

To clear the air.

[grunts]

[breathing heavily]

See ya.

[sighs]

Ferreira's Lamps

[Victor] No way, Mr. Dorival. I'd
go broke. That won't work, okay?

I-I want to help you,
but it's not up to me.

It's not possible.
There's no way. No way.

Ah! [stuttering] But, listen, Victor,
we're an independent theater company.

The entire set budget was cut.

I know, but 50% is too much for
me. There's no way I can do that.

But what about art, Victor?

Mr. Dorival, to me, art is the
last scene in Transformers.

A giant robot giving a monologue
about the good side of humanity,

gazing out at the horizon
to the sound of Linkin Park.

Does your play
have a giant robot?

Ugh. Geez, Fausto,
you're so insensitive.

Sorry about him, okay?

Wait, wasn't your name Victor?

My name is Victor. Oh,
no. Fausto is a nickname.

All right, Fausto.

Here. If you change your mind, here is
my theater company's contact information.

Cheapskate.

Ready?

- I'm just going to grab my wallet.
- Grab it, you cheapskate.

It was the most intense
night of my life.

And we didn't even have sex.

- Thank you, Mr. Antônio. Thanks.
- Thank you. [chuckles]

What did you talk about, then?

We talked about everything.

We talked about life, art. He
read me his favorite poems.

- Oh, seriously?
- Mm-hmm.

Jesus. If someone read me their
favorite poems on a first date,

I would flee the country just to never
have to see them again. God help me.

Oh, sorry.

I forgot that you're married,
you know? Your soul is dead.

The height of romance for you
now is marathoning reality TV.

Silvio, you are my
best friend, okay?

I know that you are way more
into reality shows than poetry.

This is a six out of ten, huh?

I forgot to take a
picture before biting it.

@creampuffreviews

Did you tell him about our
cream puff review account?

No, Fausto. My dorky
side is all yours.

- I'm glad. [chuckles]
- [Bia chuckles]

To be honest, I already
knew their cream puffs suck.

I brought you here
for another reason.

Do you see Mr. Antônio?

Mr. Antônio was a
friend of my dad's.

He owed him a few favors.

And… he needs a new waitress.

Aren't you interested?

I don't get it.

Don't you believe I can
make it as an actress?

I don't have anything
against your dream,

but in real life we
have to pay the bills.

Aren't you late on your rent?

You didn't answer my question.

Bia… [sighs]

Your dream is to be an actress, and
my dream is to see you get there.

Me in the movie theater saying,

"Do you see that girl next to the
giant robot? That's my best friend."

No, I would rather be a waitress
than do a giant robot movie.

Wow, you're so
insensitive. God help me.

I'm sorry, I... I just
wanted to help you.

I think it's nice, Fausto, that
you're happy with so little.

But other people
sometimes need more.

Girl, I can't believe you leave your
money sitting around in your account.

Invest it. It's time to grow up.

Sorry, can I run the
other one's lines?

It's just that I identify
more with her. [chuckles]

Sitting around?

Of course not. My money's
always disappearing.

- That's much more me.
- Okay.

- The commercial has two roles, right?
- Well?

One is the prettier one.
The other one can be ugly.

But she's not ugly. She's...
She's almost pretty.

[producer 1] Yeah. She's fun,
right? She wasn't the funniest.

She's a good actress, but
she's also not the best.

[producer 2] Who is this girl? Does
she have followers? Is she famous?

No, she's not. No. She's nobody.

Thanks, Lia. We'll call you
if we need you, okay? Bye-bye.

Okay.

I would never hook
up with Nicolas.

Roberta is my best
friend in this game.

She's in love with him.
I really respect her.

Ah, you guys, you only live
once, damn it. Isn't that right?

When we were watching
the three-way kiss video,

you said something like,

"Oh, I wish I had the energy
to stay up drinking that late."

Do you really want to
drink more, go out more?

Or was that just an expression?

I've been working so much that all I
want is to watch young idiots hooking up.

[chuckles] I don't have
the energy to even move.

Let them live life for me.

- [sighs]
- [Victor chuckles]

But do you feel happy?

Are you happy? With me?

Of course.

Cool.

Cool? Okay, cool.

- [chuckles] Cool, cool, cool.
- [chuckling]

She doesn't love you. She
just wants to win the game.

Aw, are you going to cry?

[laughs]

More, please. It's hot out.

The pictures I took
of you that day:

[Bia] This is me now, thinking
of something funny to send him.

I look cute in your pictures
but I really look like this:

am I totally unhinged
for sending a suglie?

Suglie? hahaha

ugly selfie!

This is me now, introducing a professional
photographer to the world of suglies.

I don't want a relationship.

But he laughs at my bad jokes.

[chuckles]

This is me on our second date.

He said he prefers Malbec to Cabernet
Sauvignon and I pretend to understand.

He sleeps on the
right side of the bed

and spoons me for five
minutes until I fall asleep.

Then, he carefully rolls
over so I don't wake up.

Beautiful. [chuckles] Smile.
Just like that. Look at me.

- "To start again everywhere…"
- He introduces me to Paulo Mendes Campos,

and I try to convince him Taylor Swift
is the greatest songwriter alive.

Paulo Mendes Campos could never
have written "All Too Well."

He laughs in his texts with
"hahaha" and uses periods.

And I think it's sexy.

This is me, sad when he has
to go to São Paulo for work.

These are my three
favorite audio messages

that he sent me during
our first month together.

[Marcelo] I feel a huge
void when I'm here.

I want to go back to Rio soon because
when I'm by your side I can forget

that this void exists.

You make me think of
new ideas all the time.

[laughs]

And this is me now, hoping
my friends will like him.

Finally, Marcelo is here
amongst us, ready to be grilled.

- A strong candidate to join the group.
- My biggest goal in life.

Helena and Erika were already
my friends from school.

And Luiza joined our group two
years ago when we started dating.

To understand how I became
friends with Victor,

you need to know that he likes
to sing songs by female pop stars

after he's had a few drinks.

[laughing]

But only after the fifth drink.

- Wait, wasn't it after the sixth?
- It depends. Depends on the night, right?

Depends on the alcohol.

- This one is what? The fourth?
- This is the fourth. Two more.

- He's getting there. He's getting there.
- Marcelo, what a unique name, huh?

[laughs]

- Everyone seems to love Marcelo, huh?
- [chuckles]

[laughing]

Here.

- [Bia] Let me just see if I have a...
- Put it all on mine.

- [bartender] Tap to pay?
- Yeah. And I'm gonna want another.

- [bartender] No problem.
- Thanks, Fausto.

Do you think Mr. Antônio
would still give me that job?

What happened?

Uh. I...

I made some impulse
buys on my card.

I was... I wanted
to feel prettier.

I wanted to look more
polished at auditions.

So I went and did... You're
not going to understand

because you have it all together,
and you're gonna judge me.

What did you buy?

An eyeliner.

Oh.

[Bia] And eye shadow.

And foundation and blush.

It's an investment in my image.

Don't you have any
auditions coming up?

There's an audition for
a soap opera, but I...

I doubt they'll call
an unknown actress.

It's f*cking rough, Fausto.

Yeah, I can try to
talk to Mr. Antônio.

What's wrong?

I'm dead broke.

And I'm afraid of having
to leave Rio, having to

move back into my mom's
house in Brasília.

Having to give up
on being an actress.

Having to move away
from my friends.

Away from you.

I love you.

I love you too.

You're not going back to
Brasília. You're staying here.

Come stay at my house
and we'll be together.

Be my girlfriend.

Everything will be fine.

Why did you do that?

Do what?

f*ck, dude, you know I don't
want to be in a relationship.

I know, but that was
three months ago.

Everything has changed. We're together.
We have feelings for each other...

What feelings? Who
has any feelings?

I don't feel anything.

You just said that you
love me. You just said it.

It was a reflex!

Because you said you love
me, I said I love you.

It's good manners, Marcelo.

Okay.

It's all good. I said
what I was really feeling.

I want to be in a relationship
with you, but if you don't want to,

that's okay.

Things can stay
the way they are.

Come here, please?

Silvio, where are you?

[Bia] Fausto?

Come here!

Don't make that face.

You've found me in far
worse places after drinking.

Why are you in there?

Because I'm trash.

And trash belongs in the trash.

Nice to meet you. My
name is ChernoBia.

Aw, Bia.

Cut it out. Come on.

You are not the first, nor
will you be the last person

to spend money you don't have.

Marcelo asked me to be his
girlfriend and I freaked out.

I like him.

I actually like him.

I've never felt this before.

Oh, that's good, then.

It's not good! It's shitty!

I'm used to breaking up with
people I don't care about.

I am not prepared to break
up with someone I do like.

Why are you talking about breaking up?
You haven't even started dating yet.

He could be the
love of your life.

[gags]

Victor, there is no four-word phrase
more ridiculous than "love of my life."

Don't you feel ridiculous
saying it out loud?

- No.
- [sniffles]

What makes you so
sure it's Luiza?

What makes you give
up on everything else?

You have one minute to defend
monogamy. Clock starts now.

No. Don't make me
defend monogamy.

I deleted almost all of my
social media accounts just so

- I'd never see anyone discussing monogamy.
- Please!

This is who I am now.

I've done all my drinking,
all my going out.

I have other worries now.

I need to save my dad's store.

Deal with the boring
parts of life.

Jesus, if that's
supposed to help me,

you managed to make me
even more depressed.

- Thank you so much.
- No, but the boring parts of life

with Luiza are amazing.

Like, when we sit in
silence without talking.

With Luiza, it's the best
silence in the world.

Even when we fight, it's great.

Luiza is so f*cking smart. She
knows exactly what I need to hear.

And we love to talk sh*t
about the same people.

And gossip. Jesus, gossiping
with Luiza is so good. [chuckles]

I don't know.

The other day, I was
lying in bed with her,

watching some reality show
on some streaming service.

And I stopped to think.

If this was all there was to
life, would everything be okay?

And I thought, "Yes.

Luiza is everything to
me. At least for now."

How about you?

Do you feel that
way about Marcelo?

[sighs] But what if he gets sick of
me like I get sick of everyone else?

I'm scared of what's going to
happen when there's nothing new.

No! There's always something.

The other day I discovered
a small chicken pox scar

on Luiza that I'd
never noticed before.

- The most beautiful chicken pox scar…
- No! [cries]

- …in the entire world. This tiny dent.
- Oh, no!

Victor, I don't want him to
have any chicken pox scars.

[laughs]

[Bia] Stop laughing.

Do you want to change
it up a bit today?

Hmm.

I asked Erika and Helena for some advice
on something that could spice up our…

Uh, you know, right?

And they suggested this cream.

- Hmm.
- It heats up.

Do you want to try using
it? Or is that dumb?

[kissing, panting, moaning]

Do you like it?

A lot.

And you?

A lot! It's heating up.

[laughs]

It's f*cking burning.

f*ck, it's kind of
burning. Wait a minute.

Hold on. Wait, wait.

I have to splash
some water on it.

[Victor groaning]

[groans, screams]

There's a volcano in my uterus!

Are you okay?

[groans]

Does it still hurt a lot?

Do you want to try again?

[Luiza chuckles]

I like our usual.

We always repeat it
because it works.

Every time.

[Luiza chuckles]

[Luiza chuckles]

You are the world's
most beautiful woman.

- [groans, chuckles]
- [chuckles]

[doorbell rings]

Okay, I'll be your girlfriend.

So we're dating now.

[Marcelo] We are.

Come here.

[Bia] This is me now.

The muse for an exhibition.

I don't feel like
I'm broken anymore.

I feel loved.

And whole.

I always thought I was so dull.

- This is me now.
- [Bia chuckles]

Actually finding myself interesting
for the first time in my life.

And being interested in someone else
too, in a way I've never been before.

I feel so many things at the
same time when I look at Marcelo.

I feel alive.

[stranger] Hi.

You're Bia, right?

I am. [chuckles]

Could we talk for a minute?

He swore you were just
a model in the photos.

That it was all
just my imagination.

He didn't want me to
come to the opening.

He said it would be a flop.

If my boyfriend had a girlfriend in
another state, I would want to know.

[Bia] This is me now.

Broken into a million pieces.

Destroyed.

Feeling everything.

How shitty.
