All language subtitles for The Palace of Angels (1970)

Wake up already Maria, I need to go.

I'm not calling you again, I'm going.

Never seen anyone look so dumb
when they wake up.

You shouldn't get used to me
waking you.

What will happen once I'm not here?

I'm going to that thing on the add.

Tell Ricardo and the others that
I had to go to the dentist.

And don't forget!

EARN 500 A DAY!
(OR MORE)

- Good morning Mr. Jo�o.
- Morning.

- The Ms. came because of the add?
- Yes.

- Age?
- Twenty-two.

Do you have any experience in public
relations and working with the public?

- A little.
- I will ask you to wait until

the other candidates are interviewed
and tested by our managers.

It's our pleasure to present to another
candidate our cultural program.

Our undertaking is entirely different
from all the ones they must be aware of.

It is something colossal that will have
a huge impact on next month's release.

It is with satisfaction and pride that
we say we have the best material

that was ever offered on cultural terms
to a society.

It is "Total Culture"

a new concept on transmission of
knowledge

to which no one can be indifferent.

All the mediums, old, modern and ultra
modern are used to provide the customer

with a vast and complete look of all
human knowledge

gathered thoughout the centuries.

Going from the simple, though wonderful
books

to the videotape, the recorder, the
cinematographic projector...

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Is Maria here yet?
- No.

What's with you two today?

Can I know what happened?

Sorry. Problem with my teeth again.

The Mrs. must notify these things.

And besides they must never happen when
there is a meeting.

You have all the data from the previous
meeting. They are strictly confidential.

That's why you earn more than the
others, to be at our disposal.

We can't be affected by personal
problems.

You stay as well.

I no longer want to depend on one
person.

Let's start over...

All the credit and financial firms
are trying to create a single log

that will cut the cost of information
sources.

As you can see the real problem is
still research, gathering data, filing.

We have much competition.
Some investment houses will drop.

What is left will be ours.
We must take it all.

Or nearly all.

With the money from Lins-Hanssen our
prestige has gone up.

Let's make the most of it

in the end the ones remanining will be
those with fiber and competence

the others will be helpless.

- Let's be sure we don't drop as well.
- We won't drop.

What we must do is improve our
archive.

There's a lot of loose money in this city

but it won't come to us if we don't do
anything.

We need to go get it.
There, where it's at.

To control our clients we need to
improve our files even more.

We need to know everything, from their
cigarette brand to their medication.

If they have lovers, what they spend on
clubs, clothes, their wives, everything

we need a department to gather all the
information.

It won't be difficult, the secretaries,
the bank clerks

the maids, the waiters

a good tip and all the doors will be opened.

The money of the country is here.
That's part of the crime.

The rest we need to get any way we can.

I don't want small fish, only the big ones.

And there are many out there.

What I hope is that you will approve
the expenses.

That's it. The rest is on me.

You're a dumb, stupid beast.

Next time I'll throw you out the window
to wake you up.

Type it, no mistakes this time.

This machine kills me.

Things are only getting worse at home.

I can't take it.

Fighting all the time.

Why do you put so much sugar on this
coffee?

I can't drink it.

- For you anything goes.
- Buy me a chocolate.

B�rbara, Ricardo wants you to archive
this file

and then go talk to him.
- Ok.

"Jair Santos de Far�as."

"Well over 2 billion on bank
accounts outside the company."

"Sold his mansion in Guaruj� for
500 million in may."

"Hasn't invested it yet."

"55 years old." This one is mature.

"26 horses, purebred."

"Attends the international club."

"Two lovers, the vulgar kind."

"Furnished a high-class apartment for
the lover that works as a manicure."

"Also gave her an automobile."

"The son is the one who spends the
most. The entire family is wasteful."

"Five cars."

- Are you upset with me?
- Me?

I can see that you are.

But work is work.

Careful with this file.

Be gentle with it.

What's there is priceless...
It's my future.

- What about a dinner to make up?
- Not interested.

That fondue would go down well

- ... some spaghetti.
- I said no!

So?

Say it.

- Will it be tonight?
- No. Definitely no.

Listen...
Stop flirting.

This dinner didn't impress me one bit.

What do you have against me?
I know you slept with Mario.

- So?
- Why him and not me?

- And why you? - I've been attracted to
you for a long time.

Do you want me to tell you why?
I'm fed up.

I'm fed up with your lousy company.
I'll never work on something I like.

Always had the best grades on school.

The teacher said I was a genius when
it came to drawing.

Did three art courses.

Painting, decoration and history of art.

And for what?

To end up working on your goddamn files.

"Bought the lover a Mercedes.
The wife a Mustang."

Know what you should do with your files?
- The Mrs. is drunk.

We're not in the office,
don't call me Mrs.

You invited me here just so you could
sleep with me.

Your selfishness is repugnant.

Everything's ok with you. Working with
the only thing you care about, money.

I'm tired of it all.

I'll figure out a way to become
a stewardess

or a maid in an international ship.

I want to go away...
Change the life I've had so far.

And what will you live on?

Life is tough everywhere.
- I dunno.

But I guarantee you it won't be in any
company like yours.

I'm capable.
I can do all sorts of things.

Instead of being the maid on the ship
wouldn't you rather go first class?

Pool,

wonderful food,

the sun, the sea breeze.

- Beside you, naturally.
- July. Europe in the summer.

Do you think I'm dumb?

Like I didn't know you.

I know you want to sleep with me today,
before the trip.

After...
No thanks.

I'd rather go by myself.

- Trip or no trip we'll do it tonight.
- Not tonight, not ever!

It's no use!

- Why?
- Because.

Can I know what you're doing
here then?

Seeing what it's like.

And so you'd think I would agree

but I won't. I'm not so easy.

To this day I've only slept with
five men.

The only one I liked was an imbecile.

The others too.

Do you want money?

Sorry.

You're unable to think of anything else.

- Give me the painting and I'll do it.
- You're mad.

Do you know how much it costs?
- I don't care. That's my price.

But not mine. You're not worth it.

Your decorator just hung it there.

You don't even look at it.

Just to play rich

and those who like it can't have it.

Not even if you slept with me the rest
of your life.

You can have it.
I'll have far nicer things. A lot.

5 o'clock.

No!

No!

Let me go! I don't want it!

Leave me!

Now I'm leaving.

Going to the city?

- Come in.
- Excuse me.

- Are you going to the city?
- I am.

Where to?

What happened?

Nothing, a bastard, a lame party.
Decided to leave alone.

Yeah, there are always smartasses.

I was also at a party, but nothing
happened there.

Everyone had fun

and how!

Do you work?

I do.

By day or by night?

It's not what you're thinking.

Daytime.

I have to get there soon.
Won't even have time to sleep.

Do you mind if I ask how much you make?

Well, with taxes...

- About 800 thousand.
- That's all?

And you can live on that?
- I can manage.

Wouldn't you like to make, well...

ten times as much?

Why? Do you?

Me? I make much more.

Just for a start

nice as you are.
- I got it.

I'm not interested.

You think it's just for being a street
slut.

It's nothing like that.

It's something tasteful...
Discrete.

I didn't think anything.

But I know that's not for me.

Take my address anyway.

You can look for me any day of the week

when it's getting dark, after...

I'm generally out.

My name is Rosa.

But ask for a V�nia Regina.

- And what's your advantage in this?
- If you say yes or no?

Some...
Not much.

It's mostly because I like you and I
can see that you are wasting your time.

In the end you'll have slept with a
bunch of guys anyway

and for nothing.

They use you and that's it.

Next thing you know you're old and poor

and has to keep working until you die.

And then...

Bye.

Oh it's you.

- What happened?
- Another fight in my house.

It's useless.

I'm gone for good.

Yeah, maybe it's for the best.

- Your father again?
- Now everyone is meddling in my life

father, mother, brother...

- Do you have any cigarettes?
- Yes.

- Can I stay here a couple of days?
- Of course.

You could have used my bed.

I didn't know you were out.

What happened to you?

Nothing...
Dumbass Ricardo.

Geez, already?

No way.

- Yeah right.
- Nitwit.

He's another...
Thank God I'm quitting.

So I've found you a job.

Here...

five hundred a day.

"V�nia Regina. Universe."

What is it? That thing on the add?
- No. Nothing like that.

It's far better.

Five hundred bucks.
No taxes of any kind.

No devaluation.

- In one year you're rich.
- Stop it. Say what it is.

It's for being a...

High class. Discrete and safe,
she said.

It was too good to be true.

But it is true. You should've seen her,
the car and everything.

- It's true for her that's cut out
for it. - No one is cut out for that.

They have to, poor things.

She said the opposite, that every woman
is cut out for it, but they resist.

- Maybe we're being fools.
- Not me.

Maybe we are. At five hundred
a day we're missing out.

Geez... We could buy houses, cars,
clothes

...and the men we wanted!

And if they earn five hundred we could
make more

they are rude, poorly dressed,
completely dumb... really dumb.

And among us there is only one dummy.
It's you.

But with a cute butt like this.

I could do well myself.

Not even you would have trouble.

Let me see.

Yeah, five hundred is not enough
for us.

Pass the milk.

You exaggerate. You drink over a liter
of milk a day.

- Me huh?
- Just look.

You look like a goat.
- Like hell.

- So?
- It was all over the damn store.

My brother's been taking money from
the register.

Dad found out and all hell broke loose.

They argued and my brother started
beating up dad.

What?

He really did it. The old man nearly
had to go to the hospital.

And mother fell ill.
Really high blood pressure.

Now they want they me at the register.
Can you imagine?

Worse than the company and Ricardo.
- And how did it end up?

Then I yelled at everybody and left.

Now I'm scared of the old woman dying.

With a blood pressure like that she
won't last long anyway. Just drop it.

- It's what I plan.
- So sorry for your mom.

- I'm sorry for yours.
- Why?

Her mother won't show her face out
of shame.

Shame for what?

They lived on a small town and she
screwed all the guys there.

Liar! You know I was a virgin when
I left!

- Virgin? Where?
- I'll throw this coffee on you.

182 million, at five hundred thousand
a day for one year.

I can see you liked the idea.

At six hundred that would make
219 million.

That money added to Ricardo's
interest rates would last a lifetime.

How much did you say?
- At five...

Six!

Two hundred nineteen million.

Let's see...
Taking out forty million to live on

that would leave 180 million.

The three of us would make 540 million
- At 3 percent...

Three is too much. If we invested it
his way,

between 1.8 and 2.2 percent

that would make us, by month

almost twelve million,

three thousand dollars.

And that's just for one year.

This money means Europe,

a boat,

painting,

beach, to study,

Greece, France, Italy,

always moving, complete independence.

Summer on the beach, winter in the snow.

And Ricardo will have to deposit our
money at Citibank.

All the time.

Speaking of him we better get going.

- There's the things you left at
my place. - Thanks.

Should I schedule a meeting with
Mercuri Credit? - No

for the moment.

Should I file that?

Go ahead.

Listen, next time you do a stunt like
that I won't control myself.

I think it's completely immoral for a
woman to go to a man's apartment

to play the virgin. You could have
stayed home!

I don't see why. I've been alone with
men before without anything happening.

A bunch of faggots! A real man
wouldn't stand for that.

I personally think that's offensive.

- You need an analyst.
- Don't play the intellectual on me.

So for you they have to be quiet
otherwise they're tramps, huh?

Stop bothering me! I didn't get any
sleep last night

and then I have to come here for
a sermon! From you!

- The Mrs...
- What?

Is fired.

They look like they're having fun.

Look at that one.

God forbid. It takes guts.

Come!

I knew you'd come.

- We were just looking.
- Hold on.

Let me show you around.
- I won't stay another minute.

Hold on!

I wanna talk to you!

Horrible. What's most depressing is
the way they're exposed.

Cut it out.

Deep down it's the same as any other
job. You get used to it.

After a while.

They just stand there selecting you.
And you become an object.

An expensive object.

And if you don't want you can just
say no.

If the guy insists just make up an
excuse. Or ask for something absurd.

And that's it. No drama.

You're the type the guys like.

You could make a buck looking like
that.

You could make the sacrifice for us.

Yes, we'll send you as our guinea pig.

And not just her. The three of you
would make a killing out there.

I don't know what you're afraid of.

The worst thing for me is really the
exposure.

You're vain aren't you?

- I am. - The worst part
is getting started.

Let's go back and you'll see how
easy it is.

I'm not going back there.

If you want we can work out a group
thing.

Some guys only want that.

She's completely mad!

Well, I can see you're not serious.

You can go back to typing on the
machine and living on this dump.

Nice shit...
I just wish you could see my chateau

to compare.

So long, dolls.

Ana!

Wake up!

Listen to me, I can't show up at the
office but you can do something for me.

During lunch no one will notice.

Again?

- See you tomorrow.
- See you tomorrow, Ana L�cia, bye.

Ana, those reports are there on that
drawer.

- Thanks, bye.
- Bye.

It's the first time I see these
without being angry.

You should've seen how scared I was.

You'll have to copy the rest tomorrow.
Found it.

- "Luisio Roberto Marcial."
- It's that one.

The one. Used to flirt with me every
time he went there. Old, but attractive

and very polite.

Almost went for it, but he vanished.

"Unstable person, but a worker and is
audacious."

"Personal belongings: 3 billion.
Married, three children."

"Certain carelessness on previous
investments."

"Spends uncontrollably in nightclubs
with women and friends."

"Involved with some tv actresses in
artistic places."

"Loan granted with his personal
endorsement, editor of directories."

March 26th of last year.

"Total: Two million five hundred
thousand."

Hope he didn't spend it all on the
actresses.

- Let me see the number.
- You're playing with fire.

- Stop it. You don't have to do it.
- I'm just trying to help.

No one asked for it. Can't you see
it's different here?

Here we choose who we want, not like
them.

These are the richest guys in the
country. Filthy rich.

Do you know what it cost to put this
together?

Calm down, Ricardo!

- See what you're doing?
- It's worth trying.

I was going to sleep with him anyway.
For nothing.

Because of love.

If he tried a little bit.

The worst that could happen is him
not paying.

And everything will stay the same.

Hello? I'd like to speak with
dr. Luisio Roberto please.

It's from BNC investments. Thanks.

Dr. Luisio Roberto? Good afternoon.

No I don't think you'll remember me.

I thought it was Ricardo trying to
spy on me.

- It's almost overdue.
- Does sound like him.

But that's not it.

Can I get you something?

Thanks, but I can't stay long.

Don't mind the mess.

I've been trying to decorate this place
for ages but I never have the time

or the money.

Only ideas and good taste.

But someday I'll do what I planned.

Let me!

- Poor thing.
- Knock it out.

Why poor thing? She knows what
she's doing.

You know, I need to ask you a favor.

I'm going through a tough time.

I had to quit. Ricardo wouldn't leave
me alone, you know how it is.

Purple.

Purple.

Yellow.

- Only a few more.
- Tomorrow I'll finish.

He must be here.

He seemed loaded.

Hey, what will happen when we run out
of rich guys?

We'll just have to lower ourselves.

- You know, we also need to account for
rejections. - That's right.

We need to count with 10 to 15 percent
of rejections. But it still works.

Like Ricardo says, rejections are part
of the business.

Oh, here it is.

"Carlos Eduardo."

We just talk and talk but no one makes
up their minds.

I'm not sure yet.

- I'm afraid.
- Of what?

Everything. Can you imagine my family?

- You're thinking about your family in a
time like this? - They'll find out!

- So?
- I don't know

- I'd rather wait. - Meanwhile I'm
stuck with the bills, huh?

Don't even try, I won't do it. Besides
my boyfriend is coming next week.

So keep screwing someone for free just
because they feel you up well.

Well...
Number two.

I hate when things don't work out.

You were the only thing good about
Ricardo's office.

He's a good...

but I'll end up needing him again.
- That's the problem.

Everyone needs him. Even me.

But someday I'll get caught up
with him.

Come here.

In the office you were so well-behaved.

Yeah, when you need money you have
to play wholesome.

Not here!

- How do you do?
- Oh it's you. How's everything?

- Fine.
- Want to sit with us?

Martinez here is in with us.

- Are you Ricardo's client?
- Fortunately no.

A competitor. Group Inter.

Hey! How's everything?

Take this one. Loaded with cash and
obsessed with women.

You can make real money off this one.

Close your eyes and go straight ahead.

Lend me your brush?

- Who's that?
- A friend.

But with her it's impossible.

How impossible?

Much more than you think.

Geez what a guy!

Weren't you scared?

- How much is this worth?
- Give it to me!

That monster doesn't even use brazilian
money because it's bulky in his pocket.

And I still have two checks, one from
Luisio and one from Carlos Eduardo.

Do the math.

Hey!

Do you remember Mr. Strauss?

From the automobile factory.

I remember you well. Have a sit.

Make youself at home.
Do you want a drink?

- Unfortunately I have to get going.
- B�rbara, com here!

- I'm thinking of giving up. - Don't be
foolish. From this point on it's easy.

- Stay here with him.
- No it's your turn. Use my room.

Just be quick. Go.

Go on!

- Take it.
- No!

- Don't be stupid, take it.
- It's no use I don't want it!

You could at least do us company.

Just calm down.

Each one will have a certain amount
for expenses.

The rest is going to a common safe.

I'll buy a safe and have it installed.

Let me see the total.

Part of the money is going into
renovating the apartment. - Why?

With the kind of people we have coming
in here it can't stay like this.

I'll create a palace decorated by
myself

to show off my talent at last.

Don't you think this thing about a
common safe is going to cause trouble?

One could make three times as much
as the other.

And in the next month it may be the
opposite. Let me run it.

With even half the files we'll be rich

We'll increase the pacing and then
we'll go away.

No one we'll remember us here.

Look here, the janitor is complaining
again.

Give this to him. It wouldn't be good
for us to move.

The guys are used to it. We'll stay
as long as we can.

Two bedrooms only slow us down. I'll
close this

and create a marvelous niche.

Here there will be two columns.

Over there a really nice gate.

There...

How do I look?

- Do you really have to go like that?
- He wants.

The skirt is too long, come here.

- This guy must be a pervert.
- He is.

Now even I am interested.

Careful.

What about my niche?
- Cute.

I'll have some angels painted on the
door.

It's fine the way it is.
We need to stop spending so much.

Everybody's amazed with this place
already, there's nothing left to do.

We need to improve. That only opens up
more opportunities.

If the place is exceptional so are the
prices.

I want them to feel inferior to this.

I think it's silly. We'll spend a
fortune on this.

It'll cost less than it's worth.

I'm the one who chooses what to buy.
It excites my imagination.

Careful, your imagination is too
expensive.

Bye.

How nice.

It wasn't cheap but it was worth it.

Now it's only a matter of
installing the AC.

Hey.

I have a surprise for you.
- What is it this time?

Come in.

You're famous. It's all everyone talks
about.

I wanted to see it myself.

It's on the house.

Your business seems to be going well.

But they could be better if you had
acess to far more important people.

People that aren't on the archive.
They can be easily led

if they're well suggested.

A smart person like you could get from
them a lot of things of interest to me.

I got it, you can put your cards on
the table.

I'd like to have an agreement with you.
Advantageous on both ends.

Are you in?
- That depends.

Pay attention. The ambassador of Ungal is here.

Ungal. Oil.

Looking for applications for
a load of cash.

The file says he's crazy about women.
Really crazy.

You could...

No one here will have a boyfriend
anymore.

B�rbara, I want to like someone!

Don't you start crying again.

- Afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

- Come in please.
- Thanks.

Make yourself at home.

You'll excuse me...
It's just that my husband...

Carlos Eduardo

he talks so much about this place
that I...

I was curious to see it.

And this photograph of you also made
me curious.

You'll excuse me coming here without
warning but he...

He comes here because he wants to.
No one is forcing him.

I didn't come here to cause trouble.

He is his own boss.

It was mostly the photograph.

It reminds me of someone...
I once knew.

What is it? What happened? Maria?

You can't give up now. Understand!

He's paid!

- I don't care about the money! I don't
want it! - It's not my fault, he chose.

He's been waiting for months!

Enough! Stop it!

We are never going away!

I can't stand it!

Soon we'll drop everything and we'll
go away.

What is it?

Thanks.

I think Maria needs to see a doctor.

It's useless she won't get used to it.

I want to talk to you.

I've been writing down the amount of
cash coming in,

the expenses, the savings and
everything.

The system needs to be changed.
You spend too much.

I'm forced to pay for things that
I don't want.

All this stuff doesn't help me.

I understand. And what do you suggest?

I think from now one each should keep
what they make.

- Alone no one makes anything.
- My guys come because of me.

They would look for me anywhere.

The beauty of the thing is that there
are three of us. All different.

- This luxury is essential.
- So let's do one thing.

- I become the manager.
- No way!

It was my idea!
- Really?

- Who thought about the files?
- So maybe we should split.

Give me my share on the common safe and
pay me what you spent!

- You used the apartment just as well!
- That's not worth so much!

What happened Maria?

She's anemic.

The doctor said it's best if she
stays with her family.

It's nothing serious.
She'll soon be better.

I'm at your service
if you need anything.

My life is all wrong.
I need to get away from it all.

I'm letting everything escape.

This is not what I wanted.

That boat.

I don't know.

You're in a vicious circle and you
need to get out.

Don't worry anymore.
- I need to go away.

Far.

You are.

We are.

Do you know a woman named Patr�cia?

The one married to Gordon, ownner
of the magazine chain?

I know her.

Why?
- Nothing.

Say why.

Did she come looking for you?

Answer!

She called.

- You know what she wants, don't you?
- I have no idea.

- Yes you do!
- I don't.

Stop being cynical!

I forbid you from talking about her!
- I don't see why.

You change fast, don't you? After
everything you said this afternoon.

Now I can see in your face that you...
- I don't want to be controlled.

You met her.

Perhaps...
Maybe.

You're ambitious, you're vulgar,
you'll never stop being what you are

you're a whore!

Stop it!

- Is that all?
- I think so.

- What are you going to do? - I'm not
sure, I have to think about it.
