All the Same... or Not (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript
[announcer] Previously
on All the Same or Not…
I've had enough, Mom. I
can't take it anymore.
What did Tomás do
this time, sweetie?
Ever since he got here,
my life's become hell.
You'll have to talk to
Mom and Dad at some point.
Why? So I can hear the same old thing?
They treat me as if I were a ghost.
I'm Carlos,
and I'm going to be your
new chemistry teacher.
- This is Bernardo from Brasília.
- Hi, everybody.
He's Carol’s mother’s
boyfriend’s son.
So you're like family! [laughs]
I'm Alex, this creature's
brother and the owner.
I'm going to be nice and
invite him to get to know Rio.
What do you think?
At least you'll have a
clear conscience, right?
Did my dad ask you
to come talk to me?
Can't I make my own decisions?
It's just that
this doesn't work.
I was just trying to be
nice. But I wasted my time.

What's going on over here?
What's wrong? We
chose a musical.
Didn't you say this was to
be something that was ours?
I did, but that was
when you lived here.
- Now that you don't live here anymore…
- What?
- Mmm! Family hug!
- Cool! Thanks.
My son! [kisses]
You guys are the best
parents in the world.
Mmm! Mmm, mmm!

ALL THE SAME…
OR NOT
@More than Friends - Amanda
perfect day to go to the beach!
Trix Carol where are you?
Carol Meet you in front
of the green building
[performer singing
ballad in Portuguese]
Iced tea! Get your iced tea!
I can't believe Beta's
going to miss the beach.
Honestly? Family outings should
only take place on rainy days.
It's cute that she decided
to spend time with them.
I hope she has a good time. What
is that face supposed to mean?
It means I've decided that this
marriage isn't going to work.
My mom wants to live
in a fairy tale.
She is wildly mistaken if
she thinks I'm going to live
with that egocentric,
rude and idiotic boy.
I'm glad we've got all the
adjectives covered, huh?
Carol, your mom's trying to be happy.
Do you want to get in the way of that?
Girlfriend, I'm not getting in
the way of anyone's happiness.
It's impossible to be happy with
Carlos and that boy, that egocentric...
And idiotic! We get it.
There's no way this can work.
Come to the United
States with me.
My school must have editorial
production electives.
I'd like to, but
with what money?
[phone vibrating]
BETH 1
Then what's the plan, huh? How
do we say goodbye to Tomás?
I don't know.
I really wish Beta were here.
She'd have a plan to get
rid of that boy for sure.
Beta, I'm really, really sorry.
Seriously. I'm still super lost here.
I got confused in the VLT
transit line, and then…
I'm sorry I'm late.
Let me know when you figure
that out, since I still haven't.
[chuckles]
Oh! I really liked Maglore.
- They're good, aren't they?
- Yes.
And my brother also
showed me another band.
Uh, Nevilton. Do you know them?
No. But I'll listen
to them today.
Sometimes Alex gets my taste
in music right off the bat.
Other times, it's like
he just met me yesterday.
[chuckles]
Tell me, that studio over
at the store, does it work?
Of course it works. He uses it to
mix deejay projects he takes on
and from time to time rents
it to people who want to play.
Nice. Good to know.
I'll tell my friend
from São Paulo.
We've been trying to find a studio
here where we can record an EP,
and I think Alex's would work.
- Just book a session with him.
- Cool.
Want to go for a ride?
Let's.
Or are you going to stay behind?
[performer singing pop
song in Portuguese]
Come on!
Hi, there. How are you?
Want a plastic bag?
THE FUTURE GENERATION
IS OUR GENERATION
- Look, it's biodegradable.
- Don't litter on the beach, okay?
Hi. How are you?
- How are you?
- Would you like a plastic bag?
Look. Don't forget: Put
litter in its place, okay?
If you like the
beach, look after it.
Hi, ladies. What's up? Can
I give you a plastic bag?
Hi. How are you? Look, we're
handing out plastic bags
and reminding everyone
to pick up litter.
That's so cool.
- You're Priscila, right?
- Yeah. But you can call me Pri.
What's going on? Our conversation
here could use some fresh air.
- Hey!
- It's not that I'm not enjoying it.
We're making a group effort
to clean up the beach.
Handing out bags, asking everyone
not to leave anything behind.
We can all make a difference.
Do you want help? I
need to clear my head.
I'd love that.
- [Carol] What do you think?
- Only if he can be my partner.
[laughs] We don't have a
partner system, Amanda.
- I've just created one.
- [Carol] Ah!
Oh, my.
[activist] Can I offer
you a plastic bag?
- Hi. How are you?
- Can we help you pick up litter?
[performers singing
pop song in English]
Hi! How are you?
We're handing out bags so
everyone can pick up their litter.
Hi. How are you?
If you like the
beach, look after it.
Let's not forget to pick
up our litter, okay?
Thanks. You're welcome!
[song continues]
Love & Berries
- This place is beautiful. I love it.
- Do you like it?
On that note, what
would you like?
- Water.
- Mmm, my cappuccino.
- Pineapple juice with spearmint.
- Okay.
I feel good right now,
and I don't know why.
- It's a feeling of a job well done, right?
- Hi, ladies. I'm here.
- But we did so little, didn't we?
- [Pri] No way.
No amount of work is too little. We
each have to do a tiny bit at a time.
Every little bit helps.
Hi, Bruno.
I want a report on everything
that was said in my absence.
- Nothing much.
- Thanks.
- [Trix] Thanks.
- No problem.
Hey!
Speaking of which, this is Pri.
She's just joined our class.
- Hi.
- How are you?
Pri, how did you end up
moving to our school?
It's a long story. There was
a mix-up at my old school.
Bruno - What are you doing?
Come meet us at the pastry shop
Moving to a new house is hard, but
moving to a new city must be awful.
What's really awful is having
to put up with that baby.
She's not a baby, Tomás.
[laughs] All right. So apparently
I know Carol better than you do.
I mean it. I'm impressed by
how much of a baby she can be.
Isn't that room of hers already
reason enough for me not to like her?
I disagree. Have you stopped to think
it might be you who's the problem?
Carol is the best friend
anyone could ask for.
You should stop picking fights
and try to get to know her.
I don't think this
was such a good idea.
I lied to Carol. I told
her I was with my parents,
and she doesn't have the
slightest idea I'm with you.
- [sighs] What kind of friend am I?
- She's going to be the discussion topic?
No.
I just…
Don't tell her anything,
okay? Not even...
I don't know. Not even if she gets on
your nerves to the ultimate degree.
If Carol is such an amazing friend,
like you say, why hide it from her?
Because you hate each other.
What's the matter?
Come on. Promise?
Okay. I won't say anything.
[Pri] They're malnourished,
because part of the ice has melted,
which has changed the seals' behavior.
If the bears can't eat seals, they can't
live through the winter. It's serious.
- We need to do something about this.
- Totally.
Pri, you can count on us
for anything you need.
Seriously. Promoting, collecting
signatures for petitions,
- preparing events...
- Finally!
What's up? How are you?
- [Amanda] Hi, Bernardo.
- Hi, guys.
- [Amanda] Sit closer.
- [Bernardo] Thanks. What's up, man?
- [Amanda] Go on. What happened?
- They weren't the least bit eco-friendly.
I was always making petitions
and getting nowhere.
Until one day, I was fed up
that the cafeteria kept serving…
Still there? Or have you dived in
the lake before entering the cave?
- [Pri] It's really serious.
- Don't look so obvious.
So I organized a protest.
No way. Wow, I really wish
I'd seen this. [laughs]
There's a recording session
at the studio tomorrow.
Uh, the band is called
Boogarins. Do you want to come?
- "Boogarins," Boogarins?
- "Boogarins," Boogarins.
- Seriously?
- Yes, seriously.
- Of course. Obviously.
- [laughs]
- Can I really come?
- Yeah, just show up.
Hey, did you think I'd forget about
you? Look what I brought you, dude.
THE MESSENGER OF FORTUNES
[Carol] I don't believe it.
[Pri] I gathered signatures for
petitions that never went anywhere.
So I got suspended.
Found it!
Are you reading all these?
Yeah. One for each mood.
I'm not going to read Pride and Prejudice
if I'm in more of a Hunger Games mood,
or Hunger Games if I'm having
an All the Bright Places moment.
[chuckles] And how
do you like it?
I had no idea I'd
like it so much.
- What about all the different ideas?
- Yeah. I laugh so much.
[Amanda] Check out Carol
planning her wedding.
The author's from Rio. Have
you ever seen her around?
Of course. I even have her autograph.
I went to an event she was at.
Speaking of events and autographs,
did you know Alwyn Hamilton is in Rio?
What? Are you serious?
- She's leaving tomorrow, I think.
- She's leaving tomorrow?
Without doing photo shoots
or autograph-signing events?
- How did you hear about this?
- A friend posted about it.
- I can't miss out on her autograph.
- Whoa!
Mention the word "autograph,"
and things get serious.
She's the crazy autograph lady.
I am not. I just like to
hold on to some keepsakes.
- In other words, a crazy autograph lady.
- [all laugh]
- What page are you on?
- I'm already on page 250.
Then, out of the
blue, it goes "boom."
My amplifier shuts down, and we have a
blackout in the middle of our concert.
Holy cow! What did you guys do?
Well, we tried to wait to
see if anything would happen,
but the audience started
shouting and heckling us,
so we had to play as best
we could in the dark.
And did it turn out well?
Well, considering they
stopped swearing at us, yes.
But musically speaking, no. We
basically just made some noise.
[both laugh]
I wish I could hear
your band play.
- I've got some of our music here.
- Really? Can I listen?
Of course.
Here.
[hard rock music playing]

Friends, I'm leaving. My
dogs are waiting for me.
No boy toy today, Amanda?
- [Amanda] No. I'm on vacation.
- [Trix] Hmm?
As if! Right, guys?
A vacation means what?
Enjoying the beach.
- And the beach has what? Surfing.
- Hmm.
And surfing has
what? Surfer boy.
- Mmm!
- Gosh, do I have to explain everything?
Did you make plans with
the right guy this time?
I did, of course. I wrote G-Y-M.
I'm not mixing this up
again, for the love of God!
Bye, girlfriend.
That's Amanda for you. She's
always got a new boy toy.
2:00 P.M. - BABYSIT CHICO
Actually, I need to leave. I told
my mom I'd look after Chico, so…
Yeah, I need to get going too.
Hey, Carol, give me
your number first.
If I find out where Alwyn is
staying, I'll let you know.
Mmm. Also, we're getting
together to play tomorrow, right?
- Of course.
- Pri, you're totally invited.
- Oh, I'd like that.
- Here. I sent you a message.
Now you have my number,
and I have yours.
Rock-solid, dude. Thanks.
- Bye, guys.
- Bye.
Bye, Carol.
- Trix, give me your number later.
- Of course, of course.

Oh? So imagine

Relax. It's not what you're thinking.
We're just... just cooking. That's all.
- The food turns out better, huh?
- Yeah, actually, it does.
Look at that. Want to
dance with us? Huh?
- Thanks. I'll pass this time.
- [both chuckle]
What about that
ungrateful son of mine?
Any news from Tomás? He won't
answer his phone. He's disappeared.
Ah, whenever possible, I
prefer not to know, actually.
Can we count on your illustrious
presence at dinner tonight?
The mood is lighter today,
isn't it? I can't imagine why.
- So, yes, you can.
- Ah!
- Ah! One more thing.
- [both] Hmm?
Uh, this Beth who cooks, she
won't last very long, you know?
My mom is almost never home.
What are you talking
about? I'm always here.
[laughs]
Mom, who are you trying
to fool? Carlos, right?
This story won't fly with me.
Write it down. Before long,
we'll be eating frozen food.
What is going on here, Carolina?
Nothing.
I'm just saying that Beth, who dances,
who cooks, won't last very long.
Not that the other one was
bad. Nothing of the sort.
She's just not very present.
Let's take advantage of the time
we have while she is here, right?
Let's go. When is the
food ready? I'm hungry.
Uh, I'll drain the pasta.
Mmm, nice. Okay.
[mutters]
Look, it's…
Ah, it's ready.
[Alex] Okay. No worries.
I'll set it aside,
reserved for you, then.
Six hours. Okay. Cool. Bye, bye.
Look who's finally here.
Where have you been?
Around.
Right.
[Beta chuckles]
It was that good, huh?
[performer singing
ballad in Portuguese]
THE MESSENGER OF FORTUNES
- Carol?
- You'll never guess what happened.
What happened?
Bernardo came to the shop today and
hung out with us for a long time.
Actually, it wasn't a long time, but it
felt longer because we really connected.
Honestly, it feels like we've
known each other for centuries.
And he's even reading
the same book I am.
One of them, I mean. Because
I'm reading, like, four books.
He talked about Alwyn Hamilton.
Can you believe she's in
Rio, and I didn't know?
How could that be? I was
like, "Are you serious?"
He asked me for my number.
Of course I gave it to him.
- Okay…
- Was that amazing or what?
I don't know if I understood
everything you said,
but I'm going to
say yes. [chuckles]
Do you think I should message
him, or is it too soon?
Speaking of which, we really
missed you today. How was your day?
It was nice.
We spent all afternoon
together and went out to eat.
It was normal. You know
how my parents are.
PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB I AM
DISTURBED ENOUGH ALREADY
[Carlos] Tomás.
Tomás, open this door.
I want to talk to you.
- [pounding on door]
- Tomás, where were you?
[distorted riffs]
[sighs]
I'm going to have to hang up due to
this noise that brat calls music.
We'll talk later, okay? Kisses.
Okay.
[performer singing
rock song in English]
[exhales sharply]
[Beth sighs]
Tomás can't behave
like this. No way.
I understand your frustration, but
we have to make those two get along.
Mmm.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Mmm. Try this cookie.
I made it myself.
Thanks.
[Beth] I'll get going, okay?
Bye.
Look, Son. I know you're going
through a tough time, okay?
But we need to talk. Okay?
I'm busy. When I have
time, I'll tell you.
Ha, ha, ha. Very funny.
We were worried about you.
You can't disappear like that.
Dude, be serious. You've
never cared about me.
Now you're going to act
like a concerned father?
Listen. I just want to know
where you are. That's all.
I was just out.
With your phone turned off?
Sorry I don't have control over my phone
battery in the middle of the street.
If you have a tool that can keep a
battery from running out, nice. I don't.

Carol Hii, how are you?
Carol Hiiii, it's Carol
Carol Hey, what's up?
Carol hey, you good?

Bernardo - Wow - I was sending
you a message right now hahahaha
Really? about what??
I found out where Alwyn Hamilton
is staying - want to come?
Really??
Let me get ready
I'll meet you out front -
sending the location in a sec
[performer singing
pop song in English]
[Alex] Mom, I understand. That's nice.
You and Dad are going on another trip.
Okay.
No, I'm glad, Mom. I'm happy.
Look, Paris? That's nice.
She's here. Want to talk to her?
No. No, no, no. She's not here.
I mean, she's here, but
she's in the shower. Yeah.
She will, she will.
She'll be a while.
Hour, hour and a half, maybe.
When Roberta takes a shower…
- Hi.
- Hi.
I came as fast as I could.
Has she shown up yet?
Not yet, but she's probably
locked in her room.
Are you sure this is the place?
I didn't see anyone out front.
I talked to one of the bellhops. He
said this is where Alwyn is staying.
Alwyn Hamilton?
Hamilton. Yeah. It's her.
Okay. Do we just
wait right here?
Yeah. I've prepared
a VIP section for us.
This way, Miss Carolina.
- Thank you.
- [phone vibrates]
BETH
BETH 2
Sorry.
[sighs]
@More than Friends -
Trix Carol where are you?
Oh. I forgot to tell
the other girls.
But is everything okay?
Everything's okay.
[Pri] Thanks.
Carol SO SORRY I forgot
I'm with Bernardo I'll
tell you all about it later
- Guys, what's going on over there?
- She's with Bernardo.
- With Bernardo? How? Where?
- Mm-hmm.
We only know what Carol's
told us, right? Not a thing.
We need to add Pri to the group.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
You know what I want? To see those
videos you recorded on the beach.
Okay. I haven't edited them,
so they're nowhere near ready.
What's up, folks? Well?
Ready to lose today?
- Hi!
- Check out the game I brought.
Oh, so she's finally decided to show
you images from her video essay?
What? Is it ready already?
Video essay? What video essay?
No. It's just that I'm putting together
a video to send to the foreign school.
I'm choosing some poetry, thinking of
illustrating it with scenes I'm making.
It's part of the application.
They want to see my worldview.
Whatever that means, anyway.
Wow! That's amazing!
Look. Don't forget: Put
litter in its place, okay?
If you like the
beach, look after it.
- [Pri] It's so cute! Look at us over here.
- Yeah, it's cool.
Let's not forget to pick
up our litter, okay?
PUT LITTER IN ITS PLACE
This is amazing! You have to
create a page to promote your work.
Uh, I don't really do that.
We keep telling her this, but
she pretends not to hear us.
I'll be long dead by the
time it finally happens.
Forget it. It's a lost cause.
Oh, Trix, snap out of it.
How can you have all this
talent and not show it?
I agree. You need to show
your work to the world.
If it were me, what would I be doing?
Rubbing it in everyone's faces.
- I'm going to get some water.
- What was that about?
Hang on. I'll be
right back, okay?
Hey, hey. What happened back there?
You don't need to act this way.
You guys say this as if it
were easy, but it's not. Okay?
Okay. I get it. I'm sorry, okay?
I won't talk about this anymore.
I thought I'd be
able to relax today.
Then that's what we'll do. Let's
play and then go to the movies.
- Does that work?
- Okay.
Come on.
I'm going to beat
you today, you know.
- [Bruno] As if.
- Are we playing doubles?
Shall we?
So then we'll win.
- We almost had to lock you out.
- My bad. I'm still learning this city.
- Relax. They haven't started. Shall we?
- Tomás!
- What's up?
- Finally. Come with me.
[Alex] We're ready.
It's up to you now.
There was almost no
space left for us.
You don't know what I had
to do to watch a show once.

What's going on?
[Bernardo] Where did
these people come from?
Hey, hey, hey! Uh, has
Alwyn Hamilton left already?
- Who?
- Alwyn Hamilton, the writer.
The only Hamilton I know of in
there is the race car driver.
Carol, I apologize. I
must have read it wrong.
I read "Hamilton" and thought it
was the writer, but it wasn't.
I messed up and made you
come here for nothing.
It wasn't for nothing.
Today was amazing.
- Seriously?
- Of course.
This little bench here is one of the
most sought-after locations in Rio.
Should we get going?
Uh, I think I'm going to meet the
girls. I left them hanging today.
I also have stuff
to take care of.
Tell them I'm sorry, okay? I didn't want
to get between you guys and your plans.
You didn't get between
us. I wanted to come.
If you want to schedule some
other day to meet up, I'd love it.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- How are you?
- What's up? What's with the big smile?
- Did you swim a lot today?
- Not at all.
[Bernardo] No? [chuckles]
- I was just sunbathing to get a tan.
- Cool.

- Everything's okay. Is Beta there?
- No, she's at Alex's this weekend.
Huh? Didn't she spend the
day with you yesterday?
Not at all. As if she'd
want to spend time with us.
Okay, then. Kisses, Martha.
All right. Kisses.

Hi, Mom.
Finally! Where have you been?
I can't talk now. There's something
very wrong going on with Beta.
I need to go to Alex's
and see what's going on.
What? Carolina, get home now!
Enough! I called several
times. You never answered.
No excuses. Come home
now, and we'll talk.
Mom, I'm worried
about her for real.
Your concern will have to wait.
I want you home in ten minutes.
I'm not kidding! Don't provoke me.
Get home now!
I have to figure out
this guitar on my own
and then add a drive to
compensate with the bass.
- Fill it out.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Awesome. We're here in Rio all the time,
so we can schedule that session for sure.
- Are you serious, man?
- Yeah.
Alex has our number. Get it
from him, give us a call.
We'll set up a
meeting or something.
- Wow, dude! Thanks. Thanks!
- Yo. You got it.
No, definitely, seriously.
I'll do that for sure.
- Let's set it up. Just give us a call.
- Thanks.
- See you.
- See you.
Holy cow! I can't
believe this, man.
That was amazing.
No, did you see that?
Look, thank you so
much for inviting me.
[giggles] Really? You liked it?
You're pulling my leg, right?
Didn't you see what just
happened? That was amazing.
And if that weren't enough, they
tell me they want to record with us.
Far out.
Look, I thought I was going to hate
Rio, but actually I kind of like it.
Oh, okay.
I can imagine how all these beaches and
sunny days can be totally irritating.
I'm sure a gray city like
São Paulo would be better.
No, no. That's not
how it is either.
If there's one thing I could
delete from this place,
it'd be this obsession
Cariocas have.
You say "ish" even in words that
don't have an X. I don't get it.
Coming from someone who
calls cookies "biscuits."
Because they are biscuits.
Have you read the packaging?
It says "cookies."
- Ah, get out of here.
- [chuckles]
But I have to tell you,
some accents are cute.
What about this weather, huh?
Do you think it's going to rain?
I think it's already raining.

IN MEMORY OF EDSON DE SOUZA SOTO
on All the Same or Not…
I've had enough, Mom. I
can't take it anymore.
What did Tomás do
this time, sweetie?
Ever since he got here,
my life's become hell.
You'll have to talk to
Mom and Dad at some point.
Why? So I can hear the same old thing?
They treat me as if I were a ghost.
I'm Carlos,
and I'm going to be your
new chemistry teacher.
- This is Bernardo from Brasília.
- Hi, everybody.
He's Carol’s mother’s
boyfriend’s son.
So you're like family! [laughs]
I'm Alex, this creature's
brother and the owner.
I'm going to be nice and
invite him to get to know Rio.
What do you think?
At least you'll have a
clear conscience, right?
Did my dad ask you
to come talk to me?
Can't I make my own decisions?
It's just that
this doesn't work.
I was just trying to be
nice. But I wasted my time.

@More than Friends - Amanda
perfect day to go to the beach!
Trix Carol where are you?
Carol Meet you in front
of the green building
[performer singing
ballad in Portuguese]
Iced tea! Get your iced tea!
I can't believe Beta's
going to miss the beach.
Honestly? Family outings should
only take place on rainy days.
It's cute that she decided
to spend time with them.
I hope she has a good time. What
is that face supposed to mean?
It means I've decided that this
marriage isn't going to work.
My mom wants to live
in a fairy tale.
She is wildly mistaken if
she thinks I'm going to live
with that egocentric,
rude and idiotic boy.
I'm glad we've got all the
adjectives covered, huh?
Carol, your mom's trying to be happy.
Do you want to get in the way of that?
Girlfriend, I'm not getting in
the way of anyone's happiness.
It's impossible to be happy with
Carlos and that boy, that egocentric...
And idiotic! We get it.
There's no way this can work.
Come to the United
States with me.
My school must have editorial
production electives.
I'd like to, but
with what money?
[phone vibrating]
BETH 1
Then what's the plan, huh? How
do we say goodbye to Tomás?
I don't know.
I really wish Beta were here.
She'd have a plan to get
rid of that boy for sure.
Beta, I'm really, really sorry.
Seriously. I'm still super lost here.
I got confused in the VLT
transit line, and then…
I'm sorry I'm late.
Let me know when you figure
that out, since I still haven't.
[chuckles]
Oh! I really liked Maglore.
- They're good, aren't they?
- Yes.
And my brother also
showed me another band.
Uh, Nevilton. Do you know them?
No. But I'll listen
to them today.
Sometimes Alex gets my taste
in music right off the bat.
Other times, it's like
he just met me yesterday.
[chuckles]
Tell me, that studio over
at the store, does it work?
Of course it works. He uses it to
mix deejay projects he takes on
and from time to time rents
it to people who want to play.
Nice. Good to know.
I'll tell my friend
from São Paulo.
We've been trying to find a studio
here where we can record an EP,
and I think Alex's would work.
- Just book a session with him.
- Cool.
Want to go for a ride?
Let's.
Or are you going to stay behind?
[performer singing pop
song in Portuguese]
Come on!
Hi, there. How are you?
Want a plastic bag?
THE FUTURE GENERATION
IS OUR GENERATION
- Look, it's biodegradable.
- Don't litter on the beach, okay?
Hi. How are you?
- How are you?
- Would you like a plastic bag?
Look. Don't forget: Put
litter in its place, okay?
If you like the
beach, look after it.
Hi, ladies. What's up? Can
I give you a plastic bag?
Hi. How are you? Look, we're
handing out plastic bags
and reminding everyone
to pick up litter.
That's so cool.
- You're Priscila, right?
- Yeah. But you can call me Pri.
What's going on? Our conversation
here could use some fresh air.
- Hey!
- It's not that I'm not enjoying it.
We're making a group effort
to clean up the beach.
Handing out bags, asking everyone
not to leave anything behind.
We can all make a difference.
Do you want help? I
need to clear my head.
I'd love that.
- [Carol] What do you think?
- Only if he can be my partner.
[laughs] We don't have a
partner system, Amanda.
- I've just created one.
- [Carol] Ah!
Oh, my.
[activist] Can I offer
you a plastic bag?
- Hi. How are you?
- Can we help you pick up litter?
[performers singing
pop song in English]
Hi! How are you?
We're handing out bags so
everyone can pick up their litter.
Hi. How are you?
If you like the
beach, look after it.
Let's not forget to pick
up our litter, okay?
Thanks. You're welcome!
[song continues]
Love & Berries
- This place is beautiful. I love it.
- Do you like it?
On that note, what
would you like?
- Water.
- Mmm, my cappuccino.
- Pineapple juice with spearmint.
- Okay.
I feel good right now,
and I don't know why.
- It's a feeling of a job well done, right?
- Hi, ladies. I'm here.
- But we did so little, didn't we?
- [Pri] No way.
No amount of work is too little. We
each have to do a tiny bit at a time.
Every little bit helps.
Hi, Bruno.
I want a report on everything
that was said in my absence.
- Nothing much.
- Thanks.
- [Trix] Thanks.
- No problem.
Hey!
Speaking of which, this is Pri.
She's just joined our class.
- Hi.
- How are you?
Pri, how did you end up
moving to our school?
It's a long story. There was
a mix-up at my old school.
Bruno - What are you doing?
Come meet us at the pastry shop
Moving to a new house is hard, but
moving to a new city must be awful.
What's really awful is having
to put up with that baby.
She's not a baby, Tomás.
[laughs] All right. So apparently
I know Carol better than you do.
I mean it. I'm impressed by
how much of a baby she can be.
Isn't that room of hers already
reason enough for me not to like her?
I disagree. Have you stopped to think
it might be you who's the problem?
Carol is the best friend
anyone could ask for.
You should stop picking fights
and try to get to know her.
I don't think this
was such a good idea.
I lied to Carol. I told
her I was with my parents,
and she doesn't have the
slightest idea I'm with you.
- [sighs] What kind of friend am I?
- She's going to be the discussion topic?
No.
I just…
Don't tell her anything,
okay? Not even...
I don't know. Not even if she gets on
your nerves to the ultimate degree.
If Carol is such an amazing friend,
like you say, why hide it from her?
Because you hate each other.
What's the matter?
Come on. Promise?
Okay. I won't say anything.
[Pri] They're malnourished,
because part of the ice has melted,
which has changed the seals' behavior.
If the bears can't eat seals, they can't
live through the winter. It's serious.
- We need to do something about this.
- Totally.
Pri, you can count on us
for anything you need.
Seriously. Promoting, collecting
signatures for petitions,
- preparing events...
- Finally!
What's up? How are you?
- [Amanda] Hi, Bernardo.
- Hi, guys.
- [Amanda] Sit closer.
- [Bernardo] Thanks. What's up, man?
- [Amanda] Go on. What happened?
- They weren't the least bit eco-friendly.
I was always making petitions
and getting nowhere.
Until one day, I was fed up
that the cafeteria kept serving…
Still there? Or have you dived in
the lake before entering the cave?
- [Pri] It's really serious.
- Don't look so obvious.
So I organized a protest.
No way. Wow, I really wish
I'd seen this. [laughs]
There's a recording session
at the studio tomorrow.
Uh, the band is called
Boogarins. Do you want to come?
- "Boogarins," Boogarins?
- "Boogarins," Boogarins.
- Seriously?
- Yes, seriously.
- Of course. Obviously.
- [laughs]
- Can I really come?
- Yeah, just show up.
Hey, did you think I'd forget about
you? Look what I brought you, dude.
THE MESSENGER OF FORTUNES
[Carol] I don't believe it.
[Pri] I gathered signatures for
petitions that never went anywhere.
So I got suspended.
Found it!
Are you reading all these?
Yeah. One for each mood.
I'm not going to read Pride and Prejudice
if I'm in more of a Hunger Games mood,
or Hunger Games if I'm having
an All the Bright Places moment.
[chuckles] And how
do you like it?
I had no idea I'd
like it so much.
- What about all the different ideas?
- Yeah. I laugh so much.
[Amanda] Check out Carol
planning her wedding.
The author's from Rio. Have
you ever seen her around?
Of course. I even have her autograph.
I went to an event she was at.
Speaking of events and autographs,
did you know Alwyn Hamilton is in Rio?
What? Are you serious?
- She's leaving tomorrow, I think.
- She's leaving tomorrow?
Without doing photo shoots
or autograph-signing events?
- How did you hear about this?
- A friend posted about it.
- I can't miss out on her autograph.
- Whoa!
Mention the word "autograph,"
and things get serious.
She's the crazy autograph lady.
I am not. I just like to
hold on to some keepsakes.
- In other words, a crazy autograph lady.
- [all laugh]
- What page are you on?
- I'm already on page 250.
Then, out of the
blue, it goes "boom."
My amplifier shuts down, and we have a
blackout in the middle of our concert.
Holy cow! What did you guys do?
Well, we tried to wait to
see if anything would happen,
but the audience started
shouting and heckling us,
so we had to play as best
we could in the dark.
And did it turn out well?
Well, considering they
stopped swearing at us, yes.
But musically speaking, no. We
basically just made some noise.
[both laugh]
I wish I could hear
your band play.
- I've got some of our music here.
- Really? Can I listen?
Of course.
Here.

Any news from Tomás? He won't
answer his phone. He's disappeared.
Ah, whenever possible, I
prefer not to know, actually.
Can we count on your illustrious
presence at dinner tonight?
The mood is lighter today,
isn't it? I can't imagine why.
- So, yes, you can.
- Ah!
- Ah! One more thing.
- [both] Hmm?
Uh, this Beth who cooks, she
won't last very long, you know?
My mom is almost never home.
What are you talking

Mom, who are you trying
to fool? Carlos, right?
This story won't fly with me.
Write it down. Before long,
we'll be eating frozen food.
What is going on here, Carolina?
Nothing.
I'm just saying that Beth, who dances,
who cooks, won't last very long.
Not that the other one was
bad. Nothing of the sort.
She's just not very present.
Let's take advantage of the time
we have while she is here, right?
Let's go. When is the
food ready? I'm hungry.
Uh, I'll drain the pasta.
Mmm, nice. Okay.
[mutters]
Look, it's…
Ah, it's ready.
[Alex] Okay. No worries.
I'll set it aside,

Six hours. Okay. Cool. Bye, bye.

Where have you been?
Around.
Right.

THE MESSENGER OF FORTUNES
- Carol?
- You'll never guess what happened.
What happened?
Bernardo came to the shop today and
hung out with us for a long time.
Actually, it wasn't a long time, but it
felt longer because we really connected.
Honestly, it feels like we've
known each other for centuries.
And he's even reading
the same book I am.
One of them, I mean. Because
I'm reading, like, four books.
He talked about Alwyn Hamilton.
Can you believe she's in
Rio, and I didn't know?
How could that be? I was
like, "Are you serious?"
He asked me for my number.
Of course I gave it to him.
- Okay…
- Was that amazing or what?
I don't know if I understood
everything you said,
but I'm going to
say yes. [chuckles]
Do you think I should message
him, or is it too soon?
Speaking of which, we really
missed you today. How was your day?
It was nice.
We spent all afternoon
together and went out to eat.
It was normal. You know
how my parents are.
PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB I AM
DISTURBED ENOUGH ALREADY
[Carlos] Tomás.
Tomás, open this door.
I want to talk to you.
- [pounding on door]
- Tomás, where were you?

I'm going to have to hang up due to
this noise that brat calls music.
We'll talk later, okay? Kisses.
Okay.
[performer singing

[exhales sharply]
[Beth sighs]
Tomás can't behave
like this. No way.
I understand your frustration, but
we have to make those two get along.
Mmm.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Mmm. Try this cookie.
I made it myself.
Thanks.
[Beth] I'll get going, okay?
Bye.
Look, Son. I know you're going
through a tough time, okay?
But we need to talk. Okay?
I'm busy. When I have
time, I'll tell you.
Ha, ha, ha. Very funny.
We were worried about you.
You can't disappear like that.
Dude, be serious. You've
never cared about me.
Now you're going to act
like a concerned father?
Listen. I just want to know
where you are. That's all.
I was just out.
With your phone turned off?
Sorry I don't have control over my phone

Look, Paris? That's nice.
She's here. Want to talk to her?
No. No, no, no. She's not here.
I mean, she's here, but
she's in the shower. Yeah.
She will, she will.
She'll be a while.
Hour, hour and a half, maybe.
When Roberta takes a shower…
- Hi.
- Hi.
I came as fast as I could.
Has she shown up yet?
Not yet, but she's probably
locked in her room.
Are you sure this is the place?
I didn't see anyone out front.
I talked to one of the bellhops. He
said this is where Alwyn is staying.
Alwyn Hamilton?
Hamilton. Yeah. It's her.

- Guys, what's going on over there?
- She's with Bernardo.
- With Bernardo? How? Where?
- Mm-hmm.
We only know what Carol's
told us, right? Not a thing.
We need to add Pri to the group.
Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
You know what I want? To see those
videos you recorded on the beach.
Okay. I haven't edited them,
so they're nowhere near ready.
What's up, folks? Well?
Ready to lose today?
- Hi!
- Check out the game I brought.
Oh, so she's finally decided to show
you images from her video essay?
What? Is it ready already?
Video essay? What video essay?
No. It's just that I'm putting together
a video to send to the foreign school.
I'm choosing some poetry, thinking of
illustrating it with scenes I'm making.
It's part of the application.
They want to see my worldview.
Whatever that means, anyway.
Wow! That's amazing!
Look. Don't forget: Put
litter in its place, okay?
If you like the
beach, look after it.
- [Pri] It's so cute! Look at us over here.
- Yeah, it's cool.
Let's not forget to pick
up our litter, okay?
PUT LITTER IN ITS PLACE
This is amazing! You have to
create a page to promote your work.
Uh, I don't really do that.
We keep telling her this, but
she pretends not to hear us.
I'll be long dead by the
time it finally happens.
Forget it. It's a lost cause.
Oh, Trix, snap out of it.
How can you have all this
talent and not show it?
I agree. You need to show
your work to the world.
If it were me, what would I be doing?
Rubbing it in everyone's faces.
- I'm going to get some water.
- What was that about?
Hang on. I'll be
right back, okay?
Hey, hey. What happened back there?
You don't need to act this way.
You guys say this as if it
were easy, but it's not. Okay?
Okay. I get it. I'm sorry, okay?
I won't talk about this anymore.
I thought I'd be
able to relax today.
Then that's what we'll do. Let's
play and then go to the movies.
- Does that work?
- Okay.
Come on.
I'm going to beat
you today, you know.
- [Bruno] As if.
- Are we playing doubles?
Shall we?
So then we'll win.
- We almost had to lock you out.
- My bad. I'm still learning this city.
- Relax. They haven't started. Shall we?
- Tomás!
- What's up?
- Finally. Come with me.
[Alex] We're ready.
It's up to you now.
There was almost no
space left for us.
You don't know what I had
to do to watch a show once.

The only Hamilton I know of in
there is the race car driver.
Carol, I apologize. I
must have read it wrong.

was the writer, but it wasn't.

much for inviting me.
[giggles] Really? You liked it?
You're pulling my leg, right?
Didn't you see what just
happened? That was amazing.
And if that weren't enough, they
tell me they want to record with us.
Far out.
Look, I thought I was going to hate
Rio, but actually I kind of like it.
Oh, okay.
I can imagine how all these beaches and
sunny days can be totally irritating.
I'm sure a gray city like
São Paulo would be better.
No, no. That's not
how it is either.
If there's one thing I could
delete from this place,
it'd be this obsession
Cariocas have.
You say "ish" even in words that
don't have an X. I don't get it.
Coming from someone who
