"THE TIGER"
LUÍSA PAIXÃO 1944-2020
"THE RAY"
[Vanessa] The funeral home
never got it right, did they?
[Natália] I actually think
it's kind of funny.
He was Tiger, she was the Stingray.
[Vanessa] Exactly.
Two animals
who never crossed paths in the wild.
Never, under any circumstances,
has a tiger met a stingray.
[somber instrumental music playing]
Do you think Mom liked me or you the most?
- What kind of a question is that?
- I don't know, I've always wondered.
- She liked you more.
- I think she liked you more.
Mom. Mom, we have a question to ask you.
- Come on, Natália, for God's sake.
- [shushes]
- [sighs]
- Tell us.
Which one of us did you like the most?
[in eerie voice] Natália.
[both chuckle]
[in normal voice] I promise
to name your grandson João.
Like Grandpa João,
who you always talked about.
- Grandpa João, the smuggler?
- Mm-hmm.
[laughs] Isn't he the one
who snuck around Galicia,
smuggling Ducatos and Ray-Bans? [laughs]
It all happened so fast.
First Dad, and then Mom right after.
[sighs]
It's like they were
two halves of the same person.
One stops breathing, the other
doesn't survive much longer. It's like
Like they literally couldn't
live without each other.
Everything has an expiration date.
Mom, Dad, you, me.
This planet has an expiration date.
Right?
[Natália] Goodbye, Stingray.
Goodbye, Tiger.
[Vanessa sighs]
- [sighs]
- I'm trying, you know?
I'm really, really trying,
with all the strength I have left.
What are you trying to do?
I'm trying to do what's best for everyone.
For Rita, for Marco, for Daniel.
Well, maybe you're not supposed to
have to push so much or try so hard.
No one can be
a perfect example for everyone forever.
You're gonna tell me
I deserve to be happy, right?
No, that's not
People deserve to be happy as much as
as much as they deserve to die.
It's completely random.
Now you're gonna tell me
I should think about myself more.
If I could, I'd be on the other side
of the world, backpacking.
Far away from here.
Listen. [sighs]
But my happiness can't be that important.
Because I'm not doing what I want,
I'm doing what I can.
And Daniel and I
aren't the Tiger and the Stingray.
It's like we're just
two little mice stuck in a cage,
looking for a way out,
trying to find the way out.
- Vanessa
- I'm not brave like you.
I'm not. I can't just change
my whole life around like you do.
I think I turned out like Dad.
I'm stubborn. I'm afraid.
- I'm really scared.
- I'm afraid too.
Please take me to the hospital.
I can't wait anymore.
[gasps softly]
Fuck.
- [whimsical music playing]
- [engine revving]
[Natália] Let's go.
[breathing shakily]
Okay.
[groans]
[funky rock music playing]
[cell phone chimes]
What's going on now?
[text message tone whooshes]
ONLY IF YOU HAVE SPLIT UP ALREADY
[typing]
[text message tone whooshes]
[Marco] Dad!
- [knocking at door]
- Dad!
- What is it?
- You have to come now! It's urgent!
But I I'm not a wedding photographer!
Got that?
I never wanted to be
a wedding photographer
and I never will be!
[Marco] Is this how it's gonna be now?
Stop! Before it's too late.
Love, the brigand, lies in wait.
What's going on?
It's nothing.
Hey, Dad, whatever it is,
it doesn't matter.
Come now. Come with me.
Aren't you listening?
- What happened?
- Come on! Now!
[sighs]
[pleasant music playing]
Time goes by and death draws nearer
[Vanessa] I don't have much battery left.
- [Rita] Mom.
- [Vanessa] I'm on the phone.
- I'm talking Calm down.
- [Rita] Did you I am calm.
[Vanessa] Calm down.
- Come on, open the door.
- [groans]
[Rita] Sorry.
[Vanessa] They're still spaced out.
See you soon.
- We're on our way.
- [Daniel] Buckle her in.
- [Vanessa] Get in.
- [Natália] Where's my phone?
- [Rita] Right here.
- [Vanessa] Calm down.
- Give me my phone.
- [Rita] Here you go.
[Vanessa] Relax.
- [line ringing]
- [Natália groans]
Yes, but if you prefer a specific place,
we can get that booked for you.
We always offer
that package with a florist.
She just got the epidural,
so it'll be a while.
- Okay, good. It's also
- Right. Where's Alexandre?
It's "Sandro," Dad. Sandro. Seriously?
- Uh, yes.
- Alexandre. Who's that?
- Francisco. Francisco is on his way.
- book it, I'll
- [both] It's Francisco.
- Rita. Rita.
Okay, then. Can you hold on a minute?
I need you to help me get the car
because I couldn't drive it.
I'm putting my parents on to talk
to you about the floral arrangements.
They're the ones
that own the business. Thank you.
- [Vanessa] Hmm. Wha
- Here. You take it.
Come on.
Hello? Hello?
[hesitates] Hello? Who am I speaking to?
[theme song playing]
[in Portuguese] So much is left unsaid ♪
Whenever I leave ♪
The bonds are
Made of concrete ♪
I'll stay on this stop ♪
Yes ♪
Save the next trip for me ♪
There is love if there is a will ♪
Make me miss you no more ♪
[in English] Thanks for
helping me with the car.
No worries.
Are you gonna sleep
in the office again tonight?
- What are the rules?
- The rules?
Yeah.
What are the rules about
whether I have to sleep in the office
or whether I get the privilege
of sleeping with you?
There aren't any rules.
I mean, I thought we agreed
that we were giving things another chance.
Yeah. But it's been what,
six months? Seven?
I can't keep track anymore.
My parents died, Daniel.
Both of them. Almost at the same time.
I still think about them every day.
I was grieving. I think
- I think it's selfish of you to
- Know what this is?
Know what this is?
[Vanessa exhales]
This a a quote I was going to include
in my first photography exhibition.
The one with the photo
I took in the Mercês apartment.
Remember?
But there never was an exhibition.
Instead, we got married
and I became a wedding photographer.
[sighs]
- Uh, are you blaming me for that?
- No. No.
I'm blaming myself
for falling for the same trick again,
for believing you when you said
you wanted another chance.
I did. I did. I swear I did.
Or I thought I did. I I don't know.
I don't know, it's all so confusing.
[groans]
[somber instrumental music playing]
Look, I'd love to tell you where we're at,
but honestly, I don't know either.
So now what?
You put me on hold again?
Postpone me?
Don't you think that's a little selfish?
Because while you were
mourning your parents,
I was mourning our relationship
this whole time.
On my own.
Shit.
Daniel
[gripping instrumental music playing]
[panting]
[thud]
- [car door opens, hand brake cranks]
- Are you okay?
[Daniel] I'm going on a date
with someone else.
I'm done! I'm done!
I'm done! I'm done!
- [woman] It's not worth it, honey.
- [Marco] What's not worth it?
[beeping]
[woman] Throwing yourself down there.
You'll end up in the Star Wars universe
and you'll have to deal
with that annoying ungainly robot.
[Marco] You haven't seen
an accountant around here, have you?
[woman] No.
It's been a bit strange lately.
New people every day.
[serene music playing in video game]
Hey, wanna see something cool?
[female voice] Uh-oh.
[whistles]
[indistinct whooping]
[mystical music playing]
I didn't think this existed anymore.
Of course it does.
It still exists in another dimension.
Pay attention.
I'm going to tell you a secret
about our existence.
Ready?
I think so.
Who are they?
[Batwoman]
They're your grandparents, Marco.
Wow.
[chuckles softly] They're beautiful.
[pleasant music playing]
[Batwoman] And your parents.
[Marco chuckles]
My dad was always
a shitty dancer, poor guy. [chuckles]
[imperceptible]
[Batwoman] Your mother, you.
- [chuckles] Your sister.
- [young Rita chuckles]
[laughs softly]
[sighs]
[Batwoman] One day,
all of this will disappear.
In life, nothing lasts forever.
- As someone once said
- [distorted laughter]
"Time goes by"
[crying]
"and death draws nearer."
[melancholy music playing]
"Everything has a beginning and an end."
[Marco gasping]
[sniffles]
[Batwoman] The secret, my dear Marco,
is to look into this nameless abyss
and to keep on smiling.
[music intensifies and stops]
[gasps]
[panting]
[Marco sighs]
[exhales] I think it's definitely broken.
That's not the only thing
that's broken around here.
- This looks like The Last Picture Show.
- Mm Isn't that the name of a movie?
Yep. 1971, by Peter Bogdanovich.
Staring Cybill Shepherd and Jeff Bridges
and the then-unknown Timothy Bottoms.
Hundred and eighteen minutes,
in beautiful black and white.
What's it about?
I was going to say it's about the end,
but it's not exactly about the end.
What, then?
Well, it's about two friends
in a rundown little town in Texas.
One of them
likes the girl dating his friend,
who's shipped off to the Korean War,
while the first guy starts a relationship
with a melancholy older woman.
And then, at the end,
basically the town's only movie theater
shows a movie
for the last time before closing down.
- The last rundown picture show.
- Mm-hmm.
[Rita] Hmm.
That's why I don't think
it's exactly about the end.
I mean, it's more about the place
where we are right before the end.
[mystical music playing]
- And where's that?
- The threshold.
Or maybe the edge of a cliff?
But it's much scarier than that, you know?
[Rita] What is?
What could be scarier than that?
You could stay in that place
for the rest of your life.
I had a weird dream.
- Batwoman showed me the meaning of life.
- [Rita chuckles]
Okay. So what's the meaning
of life according to Batwoman?
I have no idea. I don't know.
I woke up and I forgot the whole thing.
[Rita] Yeah?
The only thing I feel is a tightening,
you know, it [sighs]
It's really bad.
Let's do this.
You tell me a secret
and then I'll tell you one.
That might help you loosen up.
[Marco] Hmm?
Yeah, don't worry.
Come on, just one secret.
Okay? At the same time.
- A secret?
- [Rita] Yep.
One, two, three.
- I was dating a married man.
- I stole 20 euros from Dad.
[chuckles]
[phone ringing]
[Rita] Uh
[pleasant music playing]
Okay.
Yes? Uh-huh.
[sighs]
So, uh
Over the last six months?
[Rita] That's right.
How are we doing, Dário?
Well, according to what I have here,
there's been a 90% decrease.
90%?
[Marco] No.
Sorry, Dário, if you don't mind
No, hang on. That's not quite right.
Okay, in the first month, we had 33%.
In the second month, we were at 48.
And the third month, we were around 76%?
Marco, what's that mean?
Mom, it means we're about to go bankrupt.
No. That's impossible.
We've been working almost the entire time!
Dário, sorry, how many weddings
have we had this month?
- For the whole month?
- Yeah.
- [coughs] None.
- None?
- Didn't someone call just the other week?
- No, Dad. There wasn't a wedding
because you picked up the phone
and insulted the mother of the bride
- because she called during office hours.
- [Vanessa] What do you mean?
[Marco] Yeah, Dad's got a new job now.
He taking serious photos. Right, Dad?
I'm sorry, we haven't had
a wedding the entire month?
Seriously? This is what
I've been trying to tell you,
- but no one listens to me.
- [Marco] I do.
Grandpa's lawyer called.
If we don't pay the outstanding rent,
- we're gonna lose the villa.
- I am done. Done.
Can I go now? I've got a wedding to go to.
Hmm?
[Marco sighs]
[whimsical music playing]
- This is it? Hmm?
- This is it.
Who'd have thought?
- Thank you.
- I really want to like it.
But the truth is I don't know how I feel.
I know how you feel.
Oh, yeah?
So tell me,
my dear college classmate, how do I feel?
[Daniel] You feel guilty.
That's an interesting perspective.
It's usually women
who throw that one at me.
What about Vanessa?
Did she throw that one at you too?
Please tell me
what you think you know, Daniel.
Tell me, before this whole situation
gets pathetic, okay?
We've been arguing over the same woman
for what, 25 years, 30?
[chuckling] I don't even know
how old I am anymore.
I deserve this exhibition.
Nobody said you didn't.
[footsteps approaching]
[footsteps receding]
[smacks lips]
What I truly think
is that you don't like your life anymore.
- [chuckles drily]
- It's written on your face.
It's in the way you move.
[chuckles] It's even in your
shitty clothes, man.
Why do you Why do you
always dress like that? [chuckles]
What happened to that guy who wanted
to conquer the world with his art, hmm?
He's right here,
on the walls of your gallery.
Oh. Okay. Guess that's a start.
No, it's an end.
I know what's happening.
I've always known.
But it was Vanessa's choice.
It was her decision. Her consequences too.
- I think you may be a little deluded.
- No.
I've never felt more clear.
[solemn music playing]
Don't feel guilty.
I trust Vanessa. Always have.
Do you even trust yourself?
I deserve this exhibition.
Be it here or in any other gallery.
[whimsical music playing]
This one is not as good.

So?
- Hmm? Tastes like chicken.
- So it's chicken.
[chuckles] Well.
It's just one of those kinds of meats
that you're not quite know what it is.
Look, people say,
"That tastes like chicken to me."
It could be some kind of mystery meat.
Koala, ostrich. Who knows?
You were doing that
the first time I saw you.
Sucking on a straw.
[both laugh]
How cute are you.
Idiot.
But hey, at least the drink
didn't taste like bubble gum this time.
Know a great place to eat?
- Where?
- Istanbul.
My son Pedro lives out there,
he took me out for one of the best kebabs
of my life. Absolutely extraordinary.
And the drinks weren't plastic.
[Daniel] Did I come on too strong?
By taking me out
for fast food on our first date?
- [Daniel] Mm-hmm.
- Hmm.
It was hara-kiri.
Russian roulette.
Guillotine.
- Cowardly.
- Courage.
You were really brave. This takes courage.
- Nobody's ever told me that.
- [chuckles]
I thought it was more
More what?
More reckless.
Yes, but do you know
where bravery comes from?
From recklessness.
From an absurd and reckless hope
that things can somehow
be better than what's humanly possible.
[clicks tongue] There you go.
- Reckless hope.
- Hmm.
I like that.
What are you doing?
I'm just seeing if you're divorced yet.
Ah.
Ah, you did that for me.
You're a sweetheart.
- How do you like the burger?
- [chuckles] Tastes like chicken.
[chuckles]
[footsteps approaching]
[owl hooting in distance]
You're letting the fire go out.
[Marco] It was here when I got here.
Somebody left it like that.
I heard that you were looking for me.
So you met Batwoman?
Actually, this week,
I've hardly done any virtual reality.
I might I'm thinking of
stopping for good. You know?
Got tired of being an accountant, huh?
I got tired of being
something that's just not me.
I had a dream.
Actually, I don't really know
if it was a dream.
I saw the past and the future,
and people were appearing
and disappearing like cosmic dust.
That's not what cosmic dust is.
You're not gonna give me another
lecture about the universe, are you?
[sighs]
I was just going to say
that we're not made of dust, but of stars.
Stars die too, you know?
The biggest stars, supernovas,
throw large quantities of dust
and gas into space. It's true.
That's what makes those streaks
we see in the sky.
But the thing about stars is,
even after they die,
they keep shining brightly
for a long time before they disappear.
My sister is having an affair
with a married man.
My parents forgot
they had a business and bills to pay,
and basically,
my mom drove her car into a tree,
and nobody can get it out of there.
And you?
What's happening with you?
I know you never get turned on.
You're the bear from planet Pashgyfder.
Rudderless, alone,
and looking for a meaning in life.
But you're also Marco.
And I like Marco.
Marco shines brightly.
Until I disappear forever,
like the supernovas.
That's for sure.
[solemn instrumental music playing]
And what do we do until then?
We try.
What else can we do?
Will you want to have sex?
Yeah, but I'll figure something out.
[Marco sighs]
- Planet Paskfighter.
- Pashgyfder.
- Pashgyfder.
- [both chuckle]
[music playing softly on stereo]
- [Clara] Sorry, but how old are you?
- [Rita] Twenty-five.
[Clara] Ah, so you're not a little girl.
But you're not a woman yet.
Isn't that a song by Beyoncé?
- Britney Spears.
- [chuckles]
You look pretty on camera.
[Rita scoffs]
What was that for?
I'm under no illusions.
Unlike my poor mother,
who sees things that aren't there,
I keep both feet on the ground.
You know, I I don't understand you.
It's pretty simple.
We had the villa to ourselves.
I wanted to, and so did you.
We both got what we came for,
and now we're good.
Okay, is that my cue to leave? Is it?
[Armando clears throat]
I'm not a girl anymore.
No, of course you're not.
You're a full-grown woman,
right, at what, 21 years old?
[sighs] Twenty-five.
Ah, twenty-five.
And now you have to go back to your wife
and I have to go back to my
Mm, to this.
[Kiko] She really deserves it.
Clara really does deserve to be happy.
[Armando clears throat]
Do you think that if we'd met before I
I think you deserve to be happy.
So do you.
So are we clear, then?
Clear as water.
H2O baby.
[chuckles softly]
Uh, these are two first-class tickets
to the United States.
And
[jazz music playing on speakers]
this is a virtual road trip,
planned by Siri.
- [chuckles] Isn't that something?
- [chuckles]
Vasco.
Siri.
[chuckles]
This is our opportunity, Vanessa.
It's now or never.
Mm, I'm sorry, just a second.
Okay? Just
[footsteps receding]
[Vanessa's conscience]
You're still sabotaging me.
Oh, yeah? What did I do this time
that's bothering you so much?
[scoffs] He doesn't want to go with you.
That guy just wants to redo
his youth as if he were still 20
and his balls weren't
hanging down to his knees.
Don't be vulgar.
I have to be like this with you.
You're way too stubborn.
[sighs] Hey, I'm you, remember?
What do you want, huh?
What do you really, really want?
Think about it.
I want out of this cage.
I want to be free.
[scoffs] The cage only exists
in your mind.
You're free to do whatever you want.
You're free to tell this guy
and the other one to go fuck themselves,
grab your backpack
and head out into the world.
With me, of course.
Alone, then?
- Are you scared?
- I am.
What are you scared of?
Losing everything.
But you're already losing everything.
Don't you see?
Losing everything? It's already gone.
[engine stops]
- Hello.
- Hey.
- Vanessa.
- Yes?
I'm gonna have a photo exhibition.
At Vasco's gallery.
And I'd like you to come.
If you have the time.
Of course.
[Vanessa chuckles softly]
I'm going on a trip.
I don't know for how long.
[footsteps receding]
[pleasant music playing]
So, should we talk about the future?
[pigeons cooing]
[whimsical music playing]
Pull!
The pigeon! Not me, you idiot!
Again, huh?
Pull!
- [gunshot]
- [squelching]
[Daniel's dad guffaws]
Who'd have thought that a sociologist
could actually fire a gun, huh?
[laughs]
[operatic music playing on speakers]
[Daniel's dad]
There is something deliciously primal
about eating something
you hunted yourself.
It's very good.
[Rita] Hmm?
Of course. [chuckles]
Uh, Rita, you're a vegan.
What's a vegan?
They're those weird green people
who only eat grass.
[Daniel's dad and Rita chuckle]
Don't tell me you're one of those girls.
I'm only vegan if there's no ketchup.
I'll eat anything with ketchup.
[rings bell]
[footsteps approaching]
Ketchup, Gertrude. And hurry up.
[footsteps receding]
So what brings
my darling grandchildren to the house?
It's quite out of the ordinary.
- [sighs] The villa
- Our parents
Which is it?
[Marco] Well, um
Your lawyer called multiple times.
Well, since we're family, it's technically
our lawyer too, of course.
About the rent.
About the unpaid rent.
That's what you meant, right?
It's been difficult.
[Daniel's dad laughs]
I've always said Daniel wasn't capable
of taking care of the family villa.
[chuckles softly]
Maybe.
- But we are.
- [Daniel's dad] You?
Yes. Me and Rita.
Thank you.
- Explain yourselves.
- Go ahead.
Well, Mom is going on a trip by herself,
and Dad is basically
obsessed with photography.
- Those damn photos.
- [chuckles]
Marco and I want to keep the villa.
We're adults.
We know the business inside out.
In fact, we're the ones
doing pretty much everything.
We only need another month.
- A month?
- [Marco] Yes.
Without the lawyer breathing down
our necks, and we'll pay off the debt.
[Rita] Mm-hmm.
Why aren't you eating, Rita?
[a cappella music playing]
[Marco chuckles]
- I haven't congratulated you yet.
- What for?
You're the first carnivorous vegan
in the entire world.
[laughs]
- Hey, do you want to see something?
- What?
[chuckling]
Oh! Amazing.
[both laugh]
While you were off killing pigeons,
I stole his lighter.
The old man might be rich,
but he can't run away from ghosts.
[both chuckle]
[knock on door]
[door opens]
Are you okay?
Okay as I can be.
And are you still done with everything?
What about the exhibition?
It opens Saturday.
I'd like it if you came.
Of course. Of course, Dad.
I really want to.
I want you to know that whatever happens,
we'll be okay.
[sighs]
Have a good night, Dad.
[door closes]
[chuckles softly]
- [Marco grunts] There you go.
- [Rita] Lie it down.
- Hey, lie it down.
- You have to help, Marco.
- Lie it down.
- Come on!
That's it. There you go.
No, it doesn't fit this way.
- [Rita] Not like this?
- [Marco] No, up.
- Okay, let's go.
- [Vanessa] Go.
- One, two, three!
- [Marco grunting]
Go, go, go. Watch out, watch out.
Oh. Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Mom.
[Rita] Mm.
- Mmm.
- [Vanessa] Oh.
[Marco] Mmm.
[Rita] Bon voyage.
[Vanessa sighs]
- You'll be okay, right?
- [Rita] Mm-hmm.
- You will be.
- [Rita] And you?
- [Marco] Will you be okay?
- I will.
- I have to be.
- And the car.
We'll see each other soon.
[huffs]
- [Rita] That it?
- [Vanessa] Wait, wait, wait.
[Rita and Marco] One, two, three!
[Vanessa] Okay, go, go, go!
NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE TIGER
- [chuckling]
- [footsteps approaching]
[chuckles softly]
- Is that your
- Yes. She's a friend.
Ah. [chuckles]
Strange title for an exhibition.
That's what I came up with.
[Vanessa] Hmm.
- I'm heading off.
- So I see.
- As for the divorce papers
- Don't worry. We'll figure them out later.
[Vanessa] Mm-hmm.
- You're going to India on your own?
- Yes.
Completely alone. [chuckles]
Where are you staying?
- Don't know.
- Didn't you book a hotel?
- No one's meeting you at the airport?
- No.
- And you have no itinerary?
- [chuckles] No.
[chuckles] Right. Sounds perfect.
I came to apologize.
You were right.
I never wanted to take any of this
from you. I was a little selfish.
- You don't have to apologize.
- I asked you for another chance.
And I couldn't say no.
I could never say no to you.
Say it now.
[Daniel chuckles]
No.
We did what we could, Vanessa.
If this was the best we could do,
we did pretty good.
We kept trying until the end.
No one could ask for more.
[Vanessa] Hmm.
But it's not supposed to be
this difficult, is it?
We're not supposed to
have to push so hard.
And you, what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna stay here
and get my life together.
[chuckles softly] What was I told
the other day? "Reckless hope."
That's it.
I have an absurd and reckless hope
that things will get better.
[Vanessa] Hmm.
[both chuckle]
Yeah, well.
They already have.
- And our kids?
- Our children?
- Mm-hmm.
- They're doing great.
[Vanessa chuckles]
- Do you have five minutes?
- Yes.
[solemn instrumental music playing]
Stop! Before it's too late.
Love, the brigand, lies in wait.
- [softly] Here they come.
- Oh, shit, I'm so nervous.
Just relax, okay?
- Oh, I've got gum in my mouth.
- Gum in your mouth?
- Should I just swallow it?
- Just leave it alone.
Don't you know that
that's bad for your stomach?
[Rita] Here she comes.
- Ah! So cute!
- [Marco chuckles nervously]
Thank you.
- Hello.
- Hey!
- Hey there.
- How are you? Nice to meet you!
- [Rita] I'm good.
- You're so sweet.
- Hi. Come here.
- [Marco] Hi. It's nice to meet you.
How cute! Shall we?
- Shall we head inside?
- [Marco] Let's.
- [woman] Okay. Yes.
- [Marco] Make yourself at home.
The coffee machine is new too. We're Oh.
- Starting from scratch.
- Let me tell you something.
Your episode was the most watched
of the entire season.
In fact, it was the most watched episode
of Love Your Neighbor ever.
[Rita] Hmm.
We did a survey
and the viewers loved the villa
with its kind of rustic vibe, its charm.
And they loved Rita too.
- Me?
- Yeah.
The viewers loved you so much.
In fact, I have dozens of celebrities
who have specifically
asked to get married here.
- Wow.
- Wow.
"Wow" is the right word.
Hmm.
So, should we talk about the future?
[serene instrumental music playing]
Rita?
Everything okay?
[Rita] Yeah.
Let's talk about the future.

JOAQUIM PAIXÃO 1943-2020
"THE TIGER"
LUÍSA PAIXÃO 1944-2020
"THE RAY"
[Vanessa] The funeral home
never got it right, did they?
[Natália] I actually think
it's kind of funny.
He was Tiger, she was the Stingray.
[Vanessa] Exactly.
Two animals
who never crossed paths in the wild.
Never, under any circumstances,
has a tiger met a stingray.
[somber instrumental music playing]
Do you think Mom liked me or you the most?
- What kind of a question is that?
- I don't know, I've always wondered.
- She liked you more.
- I think she liked you more.
Mom. Mom, we have a question to ask you.
- Come on, Natália, for God's sake.
- [shushes]
- [sighs]
- Tell us.
Which one of us did you like the most?
[in eerie voice] Natália.
[both chuckle]
[in normal voice] I promise
to name your grandson João.
Like Grandpa João,
who you always talked about.
- Grandpa João, the smuggler?
- Mm-hmm.
[laughs] Isn't he the one
who snuck around Galicia,
smuggling Ducatos and Ray-Bans? [laughs]
It all happened so fast.
First Dad, and then Mom right after.
[sighs]
It's like they were
two halves of the same person.
One stops breathing, the other
doesn't survive much longer. It's like
Like they literally couldn't
live without each other.
Everything has an expiration date.
Mom, Dad, you, me.
This planet has an expiration date.
Right?
[Natália] Goodbye, Stingray.
Goodbye, Tiger.
[Vanessa sighs]
- [sighs]
- I'm trying, you know?
I'm really, really trying,
with all the strength I have left.
What are you trying to do?
I'm trying to do what's best for everyone.
For Rita, for Marco, for Daniel.
Well, maybe you're not supposed to
have to push so much or try so hard.
No one can be
a perfect example for everyone forever.
You're gonna tell me
I deserve to be happy, right?
No, that's not
People deserve to be happy as much as
as much as they deserve to die.
It's completely random.
Now you're gonna tell me
I should think about myself more.
If I could, I'd be on the other side
of the world, backpacking.
Far away from here.
Listen. [sighs]
But my happiness can't be that important.
Because I'm not doing what I want,
I'm doing what I can.
And Daniel and I
aren't the Tiger and the Stingray.
It's like we're just
two little mice stuck in a cage,
looking for a way out,
trying to find the way out.
- Vanessa
- I'm not brave like you.
I'm not. I can't just change
my whole life around like you do.
I think I turned out like Dad.
I'm stubborn. I'm afraid.
- I'm really scared.
- I'm afraid too.
Please take me to the hospital.
I can't wait anymore.
[gasps softly]
Fuck.
- [whimsical music playing]
- [engine revving]
[Natália] Let's go.
[breathing shakily]
Okay.

[Marco] Dad!
- [knocking at door]
- Dad!
- What is it?
- You have to come now! It's urgent!
But I I'm not a wedding photographer!
Got that?
I never wanted to be
a wedding photographer
and I never will be!
[Marco] Is this how it's gonna be now?
Stop! Before it's too late.
Love, the brigand, lies in wait.
What's going on?
It's nothing.
Hey, Dad, whatever it is,
it doesn't matter.
Come now. Come with me.
Aren't you listening?
- What happened?
- Come on! Now!
[sighs]
[pleasant music playing]
Time goes by and death draws nearer
[Vanessa] I don't have much battery left.
- [Rita] Mom.
- [Vanessa] I'm on the phone.
- I'm talking Calm down.
- [Rita] Did you I am calm.
[Vanessa] Calm down.
- Come on, open the door.
- [groans]
[Rita] Sorry.
[Vanessa] They're still spaced out.
See you soon.
- We're on our way.
- [Daniel] Buckle her in.
- [Vanessa] Get in.
- [Natália] Where's my phone?
- [Rita] Right here.
- [Vanessa] Calm down.
- Give me my phone.
- [Rita] Here you go.
[Vanessa] Relax.
- [line ringing]
- [Natália groans]
Yes, but if you prefer a specific place,
we can get that booked for you.
We always offer
that package with a florist.
She just got the epidural,
so it'll be a while.
- Okay, good. It's also
- Right. Where's Alexandre?
It's "Sandro," Dad. Sandro. Seriously?
- Uh, yes.
- Alexandre. Who's that?
- Francisco. Francisco is on his way.
- book it, I'll
- [both] It's Francisco.
- Rita. Rita.
Okay, then. Can you hold on a minute?
I need you to help me get the car
because I couldn't drive it.
I'm putting my parents on to talk
to you about the floral arrangements.
They're the ones
that own the business. Thank you.
- [Vanessa] Hmm. Wha
- Here. You take it.
Come on.

[in English] Thanks for

No worries.
Are you gonna sleep
in the office again tonight?
- What are the rules?
- The rules?
Yeah.
What are the rules about
whether I have to sleep in the office
or whether I get the privilege
of sleeping with you?
There aren't any rules.
I mean, I thought we agreed
that we were giving things another chance.
Yeah. But it's been what,
six months? Seven?
I can't keep track anymore.
My parents died, Daniel.
Both of them. Almost at the same time.
I still think about them every day.
I was grieving. I think
- I think it's selfish of you to
- Know what this is?
Know what this is?
[Vanessa exhales]
This a a quote I was going to include
in my first photography exhibition.
The one with the photo
I took in the Mercês apartment.
Remember?
But there never was an exhibition.
Instead, we got married
and I became a wedding photographer.
[sighs]
- Uh, are you blaming me for that?
- No. No.
I'm blaming myself
for falling for the same trick again,
for believing you when you said
you wanted another chance.
I did. I did. I swear I did.
Or I thought I did. I I don't know.
I don't know, it's all so confusing.
[groans]
[somber instrumental music playing]
Look, I'd love to tell you where we're at,
but honestly, I don't know either.
So now what?
You put me on hold again?
Postpone me?
Don't you think that's a little selfish?
Because while you were
mourning your parents,
I was mourning our relationship
this whole time.
On my own.
Shit.
Daniel
[gripping instrumental music playing]
[panting]
[thud]
- [car door opens, hand brake cranks]
- Are you okay?
[Daniel] I'm going on a date
with someone else.
I'm done! I'm done!
I'm done! I'm done!
- [woman] It's not worth it, honey.
- [Marco] What's not worth it?
[beeping]
[woman] Throwing yourself down there.
You'll end up in the Star Wars universe
and you'll have to deal
with that annoying ungainly robot.
[Marco] You haven't seen
an accountant around here, have you?
[woman] No.
It's been a bit strange lately.
New people every day.
[serene music playing in video game]
Hey, wanna see something cool?
[female voice] Uh-oh.
[whistles]
[indistinct whooping]
[mystical music playing]
I didn't think this existed anymore.
Of course it does.
It still exists in another dimension.
Pay attention.
I'm going to tell you a secret
about our existence.
Ready?
I think so.
Who are they?
[Batwoman]
They're your grandparents, Marco.
Wow.
[chuckles softly] They're beautiful.
[pleasant music playing]
[Batwoman] And your parents.
[Marco chuckles]
My dad was always
a shitty dancer, poor guy. [chuckles]
[imperceptible]
[Batwoman] Your mother, you.
- [chuckles] Your sister.
- [young Rita chuckles]
[laughs softly]
[sighs]
[Batwoman] One day,
all of this will disappear.
In life, nothing lasts forever.
- As someone once said
- [distorted laughter]
"Time goes by"
[crying]
"and death draws nearer."
[melancholy music playing]
"Everything has a beginning and an end."
[Marco gasping]
[sniffles]
[Batwoman] The secret, my dear Marco,
is to look into this nameless abyss
and to keep on smiling.
[music intensifies and stops]
[gasps]
[panting]
[Marco sighs]
[exhales] I think it's definitely broken.
That's not the only thing
that's broken around here.
- This looks like The Last Picture Show.
- Mm Isn't that the name of a movie?
Yep. 1971, by Peter Bogdanovich.
Staring Cybill Shepherd and Jeff Bridges
and the then-unknown Timothy Bottoms.
Hundred and eighteen minutes,
in beautiful black and white.
What's it about?
I was going to say it's about the end,
but it's not exactly about the end.
What, then?
Well, it's about two friends
in a rundown little town in Texas.
One of them
likes the girl dating his friend,
who's shipped off to the Korean War,
while the first guy starts a relationship
with a melancholy older woman.
And then, at the end,
basically the town's only movie theater
shows a movie
for the last time before closing down.
- The last rundown picture show.
- Mm-hmm.
[Rita] Hmm.
That's why I don't think
it's exactly about the end.
I mean, it's more about the place
where we are right before the end.
[mystical music playing]
- And where's that?
- The threshold.
Or maybe the edge of a cliff?
But it's much scarier than that, you know?
[Rita] What is?
What could be scarier than that?
You could stay in that place
for the rest of your life.
I had a weird dream.
- Batwoman showed me the meaning of life.
- [Rita chuckles]
Okay. So what's the meaning
of life according to Batwoman?
I have no idea. I don't know.
I woke up and I forgot the whole thing.
[Rita] Yeah?
The only thing I feel is a tightening,
you know, it [sighs]
It's really bad.
Let's do this.
You tell me a secret
and then I'll tell you one.
That might help you loosen up.
[Marco] Hmm?
Yeah, don't worry.
Come on, just one secret.
Okay? At the same time.
- A secret?
- [Rita] Yep.
One, two, three.
- I was dating a married man.
- I stole 20 euros from Dad.
[chuckles]
[phone ringing]
[Rita] Uh
[pleasant music playing]
Okay.
Yes? Uh-huh.
[sighs]
So, uh
Over the last six months?
[Rita] That's right.
How are we doing, Dário?
Well, according to what I have here,
there's been a 90% decrease.
90%?
[Marco] No.
Sorry, Dário, if you don't mind
No, hang on. That's not quite right.
Okay, in the first month, we had 33%.
In the second month, we were at 48.
And the third month, we were around 76%?
Marco, what's that mean?
Mom, it means we're about to go bankrupt.
No. That's impossible.
We've been working almost the entire time!
Dário, sorry, how many weddings
have we had this month?
- For the whole month?
- Yeah.
- [coughs] None.
- None?
- Didn't someone call just the other week?
- No, Dad. There wasn't a wedding
because you picked up the phone
and insulted the mother of the bride
- because she called during office hours.
- [Vanessa] What do you mean?
[Marco] Yeah, Dad's got a new job now.
He taking serious photos. Right, Dad?
I'm sorry, we haven't had
a wedding the entire month?
Seriously? This is what
I've been trying to tell you,
- but no one listens to me.
- [Marco] I do.
Grandpa's lawyer called.
If we don't pay the outstanding rent,
- we're gonna lose the villa.
- I am done. Done.
Can I go now? I've got a wedding to go to.
Hmm?
[Marco sighs]
[whimsical music playing]
- This is it? Hmm?
- This is it.
Who'd have thought?
- Thank you.
- I really want to like it.
But the truth is I don't know how I feel.
I know how you feel.
Oh, yeah?
So tell me,
my dear college classmate, how do I feel?
[Daniel] You feel guilty.
That's an interesting perspective.
It's usually women
who throw that one at me.
What about Vanessa?
Did she throw that one at you too?
Please tell me
what you think you know, Daniel.
Tell me, before this whole situation
gets pathetic, okay?
We've been arguing over the same woman
for what, 25 years, 30?
[chuckling] I don't even know
how old I am anymore.
I deserve this exhibition.
Nobody said you didn't.
[footsteps approaching]
[footsteps receding]
[smacks lips]
What I truly think
is that you don't like your life anymore.
- [chuckles drily]
- It's written on your face.
It's in the way you move.
[chuckles] It's even in your
shitty clothes, man.
Why do you Why do you
always dress like that? [chuckles]
What happened to that guy who wanted
to conquer the world with his art, hmm?
He's right here,
on the walls of your gallery.
Oh. Okay. Guess that's a start.
No, it's an end.
I know what's happening.
I've always known.
But it was Vanessa's choice.
It was her decision. Her consequences too.
- I think you may be a little deluded.
- No.
I've never felt more clear.
[solemn music playing]
Don't feel guilty.
I trust Vanessa. Always have.
Do you even trust yourself?
I deserve this exhibition.
Be it here or in any other gallery.
[whimsical music playing]
This one is not as good.

It could be some kind of mystery meat.
Koala, ostrich. Who knows?
You were doing that
the first time I saw you.
Sucking on a straw.
[both laugh]
How cute are you.
Idiot.
But hey, at least the drink
didn't taste like bubble gum this time.
Know a great place to eat?
- Where?
- Istanbul.
My son Pedro lives out there,
he took me out for one of the best kebabs
of my life. Absolutely extraordinary.
And the drinks weren't plastic.
[Daniel] Did I come on too strong?
By taking me out
for fast food on our first date?
- [Daniel] Mm-hmm.
- Hmm.
It was hara-kiri.
Russian roulette.
Guillotine.
- Cowardly.
- Courage.
You were really brave. This takes courage.
- Nobody's ever told me that.
- [chuckles]
I thought it was more
More what?
More reckless.
Yes, but do you know
where bravery comes from?
From recklessness.
From an absurd and reckless hope
that things can somehow
be better than what's humanly possible.
[clicks tongue] There you go.
- Reckless hope.
- Hmm.
I like that.
What are you doing?
I'm just seeing if you're divorced yet.
Ah.
Ah, you did that for me.
You're a sweetheart.
- How do you like the burger?
- [chuckles] Tastes like chicken.
[chuckles]
[footsteps approaching]
[owl hooting in distance]
You're letting the fire go out.
[Marco] It was here when I got here.
Somebody left it like that.
I heard that you were looking for me.
So you met Batwoman?
Actually, this week,
I've hardly done any virtual reality.
I might I'm thinking of
stopping for good. You know?
Got tired of being an accountant, huh?
I got tired of being
something that's just not me.
I had a dream.
Actually, I don't really know
if it was a dream.
I saw the past and the future,
and people were appearing
and disappearing like cosmic dust.
That's not what cosmic dust is.
You're not gonna give me another
lecture about the universe, are you?
[sighs]
I was just going to say
that we're not made of dust, but of stars.
Stars die too, you know?
The biggest stars, supernovas,
throw large quantities of dust
and gas into space. It's true.
That's what makes those streaks
we see in the sky.
But the thing about stars is,
even after they die,
they keep shining brightly
for a long time before they disappear.
My sister is having an affair
with a married man.
My parents forgot
they had a business and bills to pay,
and basically,
my mom drove her car into a tree,
and nobody can get it out of there.
And you?
What's happening with you?
I know you never get turned on.
You're the bear from planet Pashgyfder.
Rudderless, alone,
and looking for a meaning in life.
But you're also Marco.
And I like Marco.
Marco shines brightly.
Until I disappear forever,
like the supernovas.
That's for sure.
[solemn instrumental music playing]
And what do we do until then?
We try.
What else can we do?
Will you want to have sex?
Yeah, but I'll figure something out.
[Marco sighs]
- Planet Paskfighter.
- Pashgyfder.
- Pashgyfder.
- [both chuckle]
[music playing softly on stereo]
- [Clara] Sorry, but how old are you?
- [Rita] Twenty-five.
[Clara] Ah, so you're not a little girl.
But you're not a woman yet.
Isn't that a song by Beyoncé?
- Britney Spears.
- [chuckles]
You look pretty on camera.
[Rita scoffs]
What was that for?
I'm under no illusions.
Unlike my poor mother,
who sees things that aren't there,
I keep both feet on the ground.
You know, I I don't understand you.
It's pretty simple.
We had the villa to ourselves.
I wanted to, and so did you.
We both got what we came for,
and now we're good.
Okay, is that my cue to leave? Is it?
[Armando clears throat]
I'm not a girl anymore.
No, of course you're not.
You're a full-grown woman,
right, at what, 21 years old?
[sighs] Twenty-five.
Ah, twenty-five.
And now you have to go back to your wife
and I have to go back to my
Mm, to this.
[Kiko] She really deserves it.
Clara really does deserve to be happy.
[Armando clears throat]
Do you think that if we'd met before I
I think you deserve to be happy.
So do you.
So are we clear, then?
Clear as water.
H2O baby.
[chuckles softly]
Uh, these are two first-class tickets
to the United States.
And
[jazz music playing on speakers]
this is a virtual road trip,
planned by Siri.
- [chuckles] Isn't that something?
- [chuckles]
Vasco.
Siri.
[chuckles]
This is our opportunity, Vanessa.
It's now or never.
Mm, I'm sorry, just a second.
Okay? Just
[footsteps receding]
[Vanessa's conscience]
You're still sabotaging me.
Oh, yeah? What did I do this time
that's bothering you so much?
[scoffs] He doesn't want to go with you.
That guy just wants to redo
his youth as if he were still 20
and his balls weren't
hanging down to his knees.
Don't be vulgar.
I have to be like this with you.
You're way too stubborn.
[sighs] Hey, I'm you, remember?
What do you want, huh?
What do you really, really want?
Think about it.
I want out of this cage.
I want to be free.
[scoffs] The cage only exists
in your mind.
You're free to do whatever you want.
You're free to tell this guy
and the other one to go fuck themselves,
grab your backpack
and head out into the world.
With me, of course.
Alone, then?
- Are you scared?
- I am.
What are you scared of?
Losing everything.
But you're already losing everything.
Don't you see?
Losing everything? It's already gone.
[engine stops]
- Hello.
- Hey.
- Vanessa.
- Yes?
I'm gonna have a photo exhibition.
At Vasco's gallery.
And I'd like you to come.
If you have the time.
Of course.
[Vanessa chuckles softly]
I'm going on a trip.
I don't know for how long.
[footsteps receding]
[pleasant music playing]
So, should we talk about the future?
[pigeons cooing]
[whimsical music playing]
Pull!
The pigeon! Not me, you idiot!
Again, huh?
Pull!
- [gunshot]
- [squelching]
[Daniel's dad guffaws]
Who'd have thought that a sociologist
could actually fire a gun, huh?
[laughs]
[operatic music playing on speakers]
[Daniel's dad]
There is something deliciously primal
about eating something
you hunted yourself.
It's very good.
[Rita] Hmm?
Of course. [chuckles]
Uh, Rita, you're a vegan.
What's a vegan?
They're those weird green people
who only eat grass.
[Daniel's dad and Rita chuckle]
Don't tell me you're one of those girls.
I'm only vegan if there's no ketchup.
I'll eat anything with ketchup.
[rings bell]
[footsteps approaching]
Ketchup, Gertrude. And hurry up.
[footsteps receding]
So what brings
my darling grandchildren to the house?
It's quite out of the ordinary.
- [sighs] The villa
- Our parents
Which is it?
[Marco] Well, um
Your lawyer called multiple times.
Well, since we're family, it's technically
our lawyer too, of course.
About the rent.
About the unpaid rent.
That's what you meant, right?
It's been difficult.
[Daniel's dad laughs]
I've always said Daniel wasn't capable
of taking care of the family villa.
[chuckles softly]
Maybe.
- But we are.
- [Daniel's dad] You?
Yes. Me and Rita.
Thank you.
- Explain yourselves.
- Go ahead.
Well, Mom is going on a trip by herself,
and Dad is basically
obsessed with photography.
- Those damn photos.
- [chuckles]
Marco and I want to keep the villa.
We're adults.
We know the business inside out.
In fact, we're the ones
doing pretty much everything.
We only need another month.
- A month?
- [Marco] Yes.
Without the lawyer breathing down
our necks, and we'll pay off the debt.
[Rita] Mm-hmm.
Why aren't you eating, Rita?
[a cappella music playing]
[Marco chuckles]
- I haven't congratulated you yet.
- What for?
You're the first carnivorous vegan
in the entire world.
[laughs]
- Hey, do you want to see something?
- What?
[chuckling]
Oh! Amazing.
[both laugh]
While you were off killing pigeons,
I stole his lighter.
The old man might be rich,
but he can't run away from ghosts.
[both chuckle]
[knock on door]
[door opens]
Are you okay?
Okay as I can be.
And are you still done with everything?
What about the exhibition?
It opens Saturday.
I'd like it if you came.
Of course. Of course, Dad.
I really want to.
I want you to know that whatever happens,
we'll be okay.
[sighs]
Have a good night, Dad.
[door closes]
[chuckles softly]
- [Marco grunts] There you go.
- [Rita] Lie it down.
- Hey, lie it down.
- You have to help, Marco.
- Lie it down.
- Come on!
That's it. There you go.
No, it doesn't fit this way.
- [Rita] Not like this?
- [Marco] No, up.
- Okay, let's go.
- [Vanessa] Go.
- One, two, three!
- [Marco grunting]
Go, go, go. Watch out, watch out.
Oh. Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Mom.
[Rita] Mm.
- Mmm.
- [Vanessa] Oh.
[Marco] Mmm.
[Rita] Bon voyage.
[Vanessa sighs]
- You'll be okay, right?
- [Rita] Mm-hmm.
- You will be.
- [Rita] And you?
- [Marco] Will you be okay?
- I will.
- I have to be.
- And the car.
We'll see each other soon.
[huffs]
- [Rita] That it?
- [Vanessa] Wait, wait, wait.
[Rita and Marco] One, two, three!
[Vanessa] Okay, go, go, go!
NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE TIGER
- [chuckling]
- [footsteps approaching]
[chuckles softly]
- Is that your
- Yes. She's a friend.
Ah. [chuckles]
Strange title for an exhibition.
That's what I came up with.
[Vanessa] Hmm.
- I'm heading off.
- So I see.
- As for the divorce papers
- Don't worry. We'll figure them out later.
[Vanessa] Mm-hmm.
- You're going to India on your own?
- Yes.
Completely alone. [chuckles]
Where are you staying?
- Don't know.
- Didn't you book a hotel?
- No one's meeting you at the airport?
- No.
- And you have no itinerary?
- [chuckles] No.
[chuckles] Right. Sounds perfect.
I came to apologize.
You were right.
I never wanted to take any of this
from you. I was a little selfish.
- You don't have to apologize.
- I asked you for another chance.
And I couldn't say no.
I could never say no to you.
Say it now.
[Daniel chuckles]
No.
We did what we could, Vanessa.
If this was the best we could do,
we did pretty good.
We kept trying until the end.
No one could ask for more.
[Vanessa] Hmm.
But it's not supposed to be
this difficult, is it?
We're not supposed to
have to push so hard.
And you, what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna stay here
and get my life together.
[chuckles softly] What was I told
the other day? "Reckless hope."
That's it.
I have an absurd and reckless hope
that things will get better.
[Vanessa] Hmm.
[both chuckle]
Yeah, well.
They already have.
- And our kids?
- Our children?
- Mm-hmm.
- They're doing great.
[Vanessa chuckles]
- Do you have five minutes?
- Yes.
[solemn instrumental music playing]
Stop! Before it's too late.
Love, the brigand, lies in wait.
- [softly] Here they come.
- Oh, shit, I'm so nervous.
Just relax, okay?
- Oh, I've got gum in my mouth.
- Gum in your mouth?
- Should I just swallow it?
- Just leave it alone.
Don't you know that
that's bad for your stomach?
[Rita] Here she comes.
- Ah! So cute!
- [Marco chuckles nervously]
Thank you.
- Hello.
- Hey!
- Hey there.
- How are you? Nice to meet you!
- [Rita] I'm good.
- You're so sweet.
- Hi. Come here.
- [Marco] Hi. It's nice to meet you.
How cute! Shall we?
- Shall we head inside?
- [Marco] Let's.
- [woman] Okay. Yes.
- [Marco] Make yourself at home.
The coffee machine is new too. We're Oh.
- Starting from scratch.
- Let me tell you something.
Your episode was the most watched
of the entire season.
In fact, it was the most watched episode
of Love Your Neighbor ever.
[Rita] Hmm.
We did a survey
and the viewers loved the villa
with its kind of rustic vibe, its charm.
And they loved Rita too.
- Me?
- Yeah.
The viewers loved you so much.
In fact, I have dozens of celebrities
who have specifically
asked to get married here.
- Wow.
- Wow.
"Wow" is the right word.
Hmm.
So, should we talk about the future?
[serene instrumental music playing]
Rita?
Everything okay?
[Rita] Yeah.
Let's talk about the future.
