Original subtitles

-I don't want your clients. -It's your problem, Karin.

It's been a week since your last client.

I know. I'll find a way.

You leave your card in suits rental place.

-Have you heard about marketing. -Marketing in prostitution?

Nothing, but I do everything. And you?

You're proposing a focus group about prostitution?

You can't apply today yesterday's methods...

if you want to succeed tomorrow.

-Don't I know you? -Are you hitting on me?

No.

Too bad. Magali.

Listen.

-Do you think it'll work? -Why? Is it too much milk?

That too. But I'm talking about the airport.

You bet it will.

Have a nice trip. Next, please.

Hello.

Let me check something. One moment, please.

-Any problem? -Sadly we're overbooked, sir.

Overbooking?

Yes, we have passengers in excess on this flight.

-Can't I board? -It's your choice.

You can get tomorrow's flight.

The airline will pay your room and boarding.

No, thanks.

The airline also offer a reparation of R$300.

Remember the focus group? Every man is a potential client.

All we need is the right situation...

for him to go from potential to client.

This is the hotel reservation. Just show it to them.

Here's your spending money and the reparation.

-When is the next flight? -Tomorrow at 8 a.m.

-At 8 a.m.? -Yes.

-I'll have to wait 14 hours? -Maybe this'll help you.

BLUE OCEAN

In theory, it's perfect. But what if nobody calls?

Weeks ago, I hosted a baby shower to Norma...

a friend who was an escort, too.

You know it's an escort's baby shower...

because unlike the regular baby shower, we hardly talk about sex.

My son had problems to go to the bathroom...

then I switched from strawberry yogurt to the plain one.

Roberta?

That day, Karin met Roberta, an ex-escort.

Ten years ago, she used to go to Medical lectures.

The doctors loved her.

After all, nobody goes to a lecture to learn the innovations in the field.

Roberta married a cardiologist and quit the career.

She was now working at the airport.

And she explained to Karin what's overbooking.

It always happens. It's normal.

Imagine a doctor...

setting up a surgery with two patients at the same time.

It'd be a scandal, right?

That gave Karin an idea.

Men in business trips, no wife or kids and nothing to do.

And when a man is alone in a hotel, he either reads the Bible...

or he hires an escort.

One moment. Yes?

I'll talk to you in a minute, I have another call.

And to supply the demand...

Karin needed to call almost all the girls she knew.

-I'm here. -Hold on a moment.

This caused an escort shortage in the market.

Hello?

Rafael! Are you in São Paulo?

How long will you stay?

What would you like?

I'll send you the chef's special.

Sure. I'll deliver at your hotel.

About 40 minutes.

Okay. Thank you.

Janaína, dear, how are you?

I'm better now. Let me tell you something.

One of my best clients is in town...

and I thought I had the ideal girl for him. Guess who that is.

Fernandinha, my love.

One of my best clients is in town and I thought...

Tita, honey, one of my best clients is in town.

Monica, how come you can't? Dammit! What's going on?

Is there a Whore Convention that I don't know?

Who's going to service the client? Me? Dammit!

Ariel was furious...

but everybody else in the field was happy.

I hope all my trips are overbooked.

There were so many girls and schedules...

that finding a secretary became an emergency.

-Did you write anything? -I started. Listen.

"Experienced secretary needed. Excellent reward."

Reward? We're not looking for a lost dog.

Pay?

Pay is better. Salary.

What kind of field do we say it is?

Entertainment.

What about quality of life?

Great.

Quality of life company...

needs experienced secretary...

and discreet. "Discreet."

"Experience and discretion."

Excellent salary.

Can I post it?

Done. Now I need to go, I'm late.

Bye.

Hello, dear.

Right on time, lunch is almost ready.

Great! I'm starving.

You've no idea of what your brother did.

-He went overboard this time. -What did he do?

It's easier to ask what he didn't do.

-He... -I didn't do anything!

Don't speak with your mouth full.

Mrs. Célia thought he was possessed by the devil.

She wanted to splash holy water on him to calm him down.

Really, Fred?

We're thinking about going to Águas de Lindoia...

on the weekend.

It's been a while since we traveled alone.

You guys deserve.

Can you keep an eye on Fred? He can't stay alone, you know that.

Maria Clara could stay alone when she was my age.

It's in two weekends, right? I'll have to work.

Don't worry. We'll see what we can do.

Why could she?

She wasn't possessed by the devil.

Dad, I really wanted to help. But I've been working late.

Forget it, dear. We'll try your grandma.

What's for dessert?

It's a surprise.

Hello, Augusto.

Do you remember the dinner you promised?

Why? Are you calling me out on that?

Of course. Tuesday, at 8 p.m., at Dui.

-Tuesday I can't... -Joana.

I won't take no for an answer. You promised.

-No, hold on... -See you on Tuesday.

I took Karin to meet Magali.

Karin didn't want to go, but I insisted.

You'll love her, you'll see.

Magali arrived 45 minutes late.

Do you think they can lower the air conditioning? It's hot.

And three shots too many.

She couldn't say Karin's name.

Keila.

Kátia. Kelly?

And to top it off, she played with fire.

It's from that table.

"You're the proof that three is never too much."

Do you have a pen?

Here. Give it to them.

What did you write?

It's $300 an hour.

I'm kidding. I said we're unavailable.

What did she write?

-Three hundred? -I wish I had brought money.

I missed the chance.

Luna, what a friend.

-You'll like her next time. -If there'll be a next time.

You'll see, she's fun.

Okay. We'll talk later.

Take care.

Karin was so annoyed...

that only one thing could relax her.

THE POWER OF MARKETING

Of 270 late flights...

scheduled to departure from Galeão International Airport...

and Santos Dumont, 122 flights were cancelled.

In Guarulhos it was the same.

Three days later...

things got complicated for the Brazilian airlines.

You probably remember.

Passenger in excess, cancelled flights, turmoil.

Airline chaos.

The demand for us went up.

Shall we?

Hello.

Hello.

Sure, we didn't want to go through it...

but we can't deny that it's becoming common...

in the main airports in the world.

It's the old saying: "If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it".

I'm sorry, we're totally booked. It's been crazy.

Everybody wants an appointment and we can't supply the demand.

But I can do this...

if you accept only 40 minutes, I can squeeze you in.

Great. What's your name?

Pedro. Very good.

You're all set.

My schedule was totally packed...

but my best client needed my attention.

-Delicious, isn't it? -It's very good.

I never tasted Ivory Coast chocolate. It's delicious.

-Please, Luna. -What?

The chocolate is not from Ivory Coast.

-It's not? Where's it from? -Uberaba, at the best.

Why do they say it's from Ivory Coast then?

Why'd they go to Ivory Coast?

You're so suspicious.

You're naive. You believe in anything.

I'd go to Ivory Coast for this chocolate.

Too bad they won't have Uberaba's chocolate.

Do you have plans for tonight?

I do.

Really?

-What is it? -I'm seeing a guy.

A guy?

A handsome, smart, sexy guy. He's very nice.

I wanted to invite you for a party, but...

Too bad.

I could cancel with the handsome, smart, sexy guy.

-Wouldn't he be angry at you? -I think he would.

Right?

Hi, Grandma. How are you?

I'm fine. I was watching a movie with that actor...

the one I forgot the name, he died.

Glenn Ford?

That's right! He's so old in this movie. Poor thing.

How is your knee?

If I don't have the surgery, it won't get better.

What can I do?

Have you been working a lot?

Yes, I'm saving for retirement, you know.

Listen. Is Fred bothering you much?

Fred is fine.

He's in his room studying with a friend.

I went there to ask if they wanted a drink, but they didn't hear me.

The music is so loud in there.

My dad has this car since 1973.

I have the keys since yesterday.

Give me a moment, please.

Okay. Yes?

I'm on another call, give me a minute.

You're all set. Done.

Okay. Bye-bye.

-Yes? -My name is Rômulo.

Is it possible for us to meet at 10 tonight?

-Unfortunately, it's impossible. -You can't at 10 p.m.?

Look, if you... hold on.

If you...

Yes, it's really impossible. It's been crazy here.

We're totally booked.

Whore overbooking? What a bad service.

Luna, help me out. I had to deny a client...

and there aren't girls enough for those already scheduled.

I'd like to help you, but I have plans with Oscar.

-You'll end up marrying him. -If all goes as planned...

And if it goes, what will you tell him?

That the biggest family's property is an old car from the 70's?

Not at all. I don't know what I'll say, but it'll be a good story.

He won't propose today.

So, if he won't propose, you can cancel with him today.

Why don't you call Magali? She liked the idea.

Between losing a client and call Magali, I'd rather lose the client.

-Why? -Why? She's crazy, talks too much.

She'll tell about our business to everyone and it'll be over.

-Can't you really go today? -Fine.

-I'll cancel with Oscar. -Great! Thanks. I love you.

Karin really loved to see as many passengers as possible.

Ministers, Army guys, Governors, Executives...

a lot of people tried to solve the airlines crisis.

But the one who helped the country to overcome the crisis was Karin.

I really wanted to go to the party with you.

No problem, Luna. Go take care of your father.

He hates to get sick.

-Have you left already? -I'm leaving now. Why?

I'll go with you.

-It's not necessary. -Of course it is.

I won't let you drive alone to the farm now.

-I'll go with you, it's safer. -I'm used to it.

I insist.

-What about the party? -To hell with it.

It's better if I go alone.

Dad doesn't like visitors when he's sick.

You should meet him in a different situation.

All right then. Call me if you need anything, okay?

Thanks, Oscar. You're lovely.

Take care.

Karin, before I forget, thank you so much.

Yes, Karin, thanks. I was in a daring situation.

You're welcome. Shall we?

It was radical!

Dad doesn't go over 55m/h on this car.

Someone had to do that for him. Let's go to São Paulo?

A guy did it in 26 minutes.

I have to go back home before grandma sees I'm out.

-Speed up then. -No. It's time to drive carefully.

Most of car accidents happen when people return home.

Seriously. I read that.

Watch out!

Dammit! Metralha, did you see...?

Poor Goiabinha!

It always happens during crisis.

I foresaw this situation and avoided it.

What happened?

Don't you know about the inspection?

-No. Inspection? -Quality control inspection.

Many inspectors are disguised as passengers.

-Really? -Do you know Tulio, from Arrivals?

He argued with a passenger today. He's in big trouble.

Guys, did they inspect the overbooking division too?

All divisions.

I was very polite all day long, as if I knew it.

My God! I flipped the bird to a guy today.

Like I was pretending to push my glasses.

-Hello? -Karin, it's me. Listen.

Something happened. Cancel everything.

-Roberta? -Yes. Cancel all the appointments.

Why are you whispering?

Have you heard me? Cancel everything.

There was an inspection today. I might lose my job.

Wait! What are you talking about?

He comes in disguise to check the service.

Usually they come at the end of the year, but with the chaos...

I gave him a card. I gave out more than 30 cards today.

Did you send them to the usual hotel?

I did. I'll be fired, sued, arrested. Cancel everything!

It's too late. If he got the card, he knows everything.

My God!

We must go out with everybody and find out who the guy is.

-Everybody? -Yes, all 30.

What will you do when you find him?

Calm down. I'll manage.

It's not bad yet. I'll call you later.

You can't keep me here. It's kidnapping.

Who's keeping you here? Not me. But your car will stay.

-It's not your car. -Or yours.

My azaleas...

and Goiabinha.

We'll wait for your father to pay for the damage in my garden.

-I don't have a father. -Your mother then.

No mother either. I lost both in an accident.

And this is bringing back all the memories.

-Whose car is this? -My sister's.

Call her. When she comes, I'll give her the keys.

I won't give the car to a kid who's a dopehead.

Can you hear me?

You meet with the clients...

but we need to find out who is the airline inspector.

-What if we don't find out? -We must.

And if we find out, what should we do?

We'll do whatever's necessary for him not to denounce us.

-Shall we? -Yes.

Come on.

You idiot! I knew you couldn't be studying with Metralha.

-It was Metralha, right? -Yes. He ran away.

-I killed an old man's azaleas. -Wait till Dad knows that.

-He doesn't need to know anything. -Now I have to go there!

Are you André?

The one.

Karin knew right away he wasn't the inspector.

She had to get rid of him soon.

And if there's one thing that an escort girl knows...

it's to induce a quick orgasm.

With time, we learn some techniques.

But for a man that age, the basics are enough.

Don't move, don't move!

It was quickly.

Not really.

Tell me. Do you like surfing, too?

Me?

Yes. I...

I noticed...

the company's name...

on the card.

It's Blue Ocean, right? I thought you like surf, too.

Not at all. Blue Ocean is a marketing concept.

-Really? Blue Ocean? -It means untapped market.

I have to go.

You were great.

Me?

Rogério, I need a favor.

An overbooking inspector will spend the night here.

Do you have an idea of who he might be?

I have no idea.

Is there a guest from the cancelled flights...

who checked the hotel services more than usually?

Very well. Let me see.

There's one.

Rômulo Nascimento.

Room 416.

He complained about the shower, ordered room service...

towel, more pillows, wanted to see the sauna, but didn't see it.

-What's his occupation? -It says Veterinarian.

No way, he's the inspector. Thanks for the help, Rogério.

He could've run over my wife...

he could've run over my dog.

Lucky me, my wife is deceased and I don't have a dog.

I understand, Mr. Otávio. Is this enough?

It's for everything. My azaleas, my leeks.

I apologize. It won't happen again. I promise.

I was watching TV and heard that noise.

It's so irresponsible.

If you think that man was harsh, wait until Dad gets home.

Don't tell Dad, he'll kill me.

Help me, Maria Clara. Please. He has high blood pressure.

How will you explain the car?

The engine and electrical are working.

I told you. Dad doesn't need to know.

-Please, please, please. -There's only a scratch here.

A big one on the driver's door.

-Can you fix it? -Sure, it's simple.

-It'll take two days, okay? -No.

Is anybody using this?

No.

Unless it's a ghost.

I'm afraid of ghosts.

-Aren't you? -Ghosts?

No.

You're a brave man.

My ex-boyfriend was afraid of the Bigfoot, imagine.

Nonsense.

Please, this is my dad's car. He'll kill me if he sees the scratch.

I'm sorry. It's late and I have several cars to finish.

We need the car by noon tomorrow.

We need the car before my parents arrive home.

Okay, I'll try.

But I charge more for an emergency.

-You're very funny. -I've been told.

It's hot here, isn't it?

A lot.

Why don't we talk in your room?

Aren't you going to swim?

No.

I need to fix some things. Fifteen minutes?

Fine. I need to wear something more comfortable.

Fred, you need to get your act together.

Do you know what I was doing at your age?

Working at Mrs. Monica's salon.

I wanted to work at the tattoo parlor and Dad didn't let me.

Then I worked at the clothing store.

And then, the pet shop.

What do you do all day long? Nothing.

I can't drop everything to babysit you.

In those days my brother was going through a difficult phase.

In his case, phase means life.

-Hello? -Karin, bad news.

We couldn't find out who's the inspector.

Don't worry. I found out. I'm getting to his room.

-I'll talk to you later. -Bye.

-Ro? -Come in. Get comfortable.

As comfortable as you can be.

Karin got in to the room to save the scheme...

then she saw a luggage filled with torture tools...

and decided to save her life first.

-You found my toys. -I'll pretend I didn't see them.

-I'll leave and no one will know. -Hold on! Are you thinking I... No!

I'm a veterinarian.

These are my working tools. Look.

This is to extract horse's teeth.

This one is to grab on the hoof when you need...

forget it.

Let's forget about work...

we have something more interesting to do.

Rômulo had never had sex with a woman like Karin.

And still hasn't.

-Hello, Oscar. -Hold on.

-Is your father feeling better? -Yes, thanks.

I'm going to the party. Come meet me.

I can't. I need to solve a small crisis here at the farm.

My stupid brother got my Dad's Ferrari and had an accident.

-Is he okay? -He is.

The Burle Marx's garden he destroyed is not.

Or the Brecheret's statue he dropped.

He did that, Oscar.

When my father finds out, he'll be furious.

Your brother seems like a fun guy.

Very.

-I miss you. -Do you really? Is it true?

Yes.

Why would I lie?

All right. I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

So?

-So it wasn't him. -Really?

-Yes. -What do we do?

I don't know. Are you sure it wasn't any of yours?

I'm sure. Mine was a foreigner.

Mine was a Yoga instructor. He wanted to try weird positions.

-You can't imagine. -And yours?

-Mine was a soccer player. -Really? Famous?

No way! Doesn't he play on the national team?

The game is tomorrow.

What about Luna's client? Have you seen her?

-That's it! Luna's client! -Hold on.

She's with him now. Room 208. It's him.

-Wait here. I'll go there. -All right.

What do you want?

Hi, I'm Karin, I spoke to you on the phone.

I don't have time to talk to you. Stay there!

Hurry up. He's hitting her.

I hope so, or my boss will kill me.

Go!

Stop! Stop! Stop it!

Enough, stop it!

It's my turn now.

Lay down. On the floor! Now!

-Hello. -Where's Luna?

Luna couldn't come, she asked me to come.

Stay!

Stay!

Magali, there's an airline inspector, he might be him.

He's the inspector, he told me.

But don't worry. He does what I tell him to do.

-Come back! -I'll go back if I want, when I want!

If you bother me, I'll leave and won't come back.

We'll talk later. I'll leave you to it.

Who told you to speak? Who?

Everything worked out fine.

-Did you see that? -I mean...

What the hell!

It's orange.

I had to paint over that and this was the closest color.

It's orange!

You had to paint the entire car another color?

If I painted just the door it would be ugly.

You can't notice on the shadow.

On the shadow? Do you want me to drive it in tunnels?

-Do you want to check? -Of course I do.

Scotch, one box...

-Did you want to see me? -Yes.

-I want to ask you a favor. -What favor?

You know you're one of my favorites.

What favor?

I want you to talk to your friends and find out what Karin is doing.

How much she charges the girls, how she gets her clients...

how much she's making. I need to know everything.

Can I ask you why?

Lívia.

I got a girl once for a French General...

and he told me something interesting.

Know the enemy, and then destroy it.

-It's today. -What is today?

-Dinner with Augusto. -Twist your wrist.

-Is it just a dinner? -Of course. What do you mean?

-So why are you worried? -I'm not worried.

You're not?

No. I'm just not sure I'll go. I'm on a diet.

I can't mix my past life with the one I have today.

Why not?

It won't be good.

Certain things we must keep apart from each other.

You'll love after lunch. We have a great dessert.

-I must have vitamin deficiency. -Why?

I'm seeing everything orange.

Dad, it's my fault.

I went out yesterday and scratched the door.

Scratched the door?

And they didn't have the right color at the shop, so it's kind of orange.

It's totally orange, dear.

-Where was the scratch? -Here.

-We can barely see it. -Was that all?

Yes. The scratch and the paint. I'm sorry, Dad. I'll pay for it.

Don't worry. Forget it. What matters is that you're fine.

For Christ's sake, wasn't there another color?

We'll take care of it later. Let's eat Aunt Áurea's lemon pie.

-Let's go. -Is that all?

What do you mean?

Maria Clara gets a red car and return it orange...

and all you talk about is pie?

What do you want me to say? It happens.

If I had gotten the car and lost a hubcap...

you'd yell at me, ground me for a year.

-It's not true, Fred. -Compare your age to hers.

The older we are, the more mistakes we can make?

Son!

Fred, we can't compare.

Maria Clara always was calm, well behaved. You are the opposite.

-Well behaved my butt! -Fred!

You like her better than I.

But I'll prove you she's not this saint you imagine. She's not!

My brother made me worry about the future.

Augusto made Karin worry about the past.

We both admired Magali.

She didn't seem to worry about anything.

Like she'd never worried about anything in her life.

I was supposed to get off in Zurich, but I thought...

I'm going to Vienna.

But I fell asleep and woke up in Budapest.

I had no hotel reservation, no money...

didn't know the language and had no sweaters.

It was amazing.

How can you do it?

-Do what? -Be like this.

Carefree.

I don't know.

Haven't you ever worry about anything?

No. Is this worrisome?

There weren't three women more different from each other.

But somehow...

we were a great match.

I think it's like Do, Mi, and Sol.

Alone, they're one thing.

Together, they're a perfect chord.
