A "typical" family morning
(Vasco (Manel's son) is playing a video game in the living room when Eduardo and Thais enter.)
Eduardo: Eh, what is this noise? Kid, it's so loud there. Rita, do me a favor. When you go to the supermarket buy a package of cotton swabs to clean out the kid's ears.

Thais: (very affectionate with Vasco) You are upsetting the boy.
Eduardo: Upset what? Are you upset? Look, you can tell me. Are you sensitive?
Thais: Stop.
(Laura and Manel enter.)
Laura: Hello.
Thais: Hello, good morning.
Manel: Hello, good morning. (To Vasco) So champion, are you in a good mood? Sleep well, son?
Vasco: Yes, I did.
Laura: Have you gone to see the saddle that I asked Antonio to fetch for you?
Vasco: (delighted) Really? Can I go to the stables to see?
Manel: Now first let's have breakfast. It's better that way.
(Teresa comes in running, training.)
Laura: Hello dear, I thought you were still in your room.
Teresa: No, I asked Vicente to go train early. I'll just take a shower.
(When leaving, Teresa bumps into Margarita who is coming in.)
Margarida: Hi mom, good morning.
Laura: (very happy) GOOD MORNING. So this is what I like. A rush, people on one end, people on the other.
Margarida: Rita, I have to hurry up now. I am in a hurry. I cannot leave Vera (her coach), waiting. Okay?
Rita: Okay. I bring the coffee now.
Manel: Bring me one too, Rita.
Margarida: (to Vasco) So kid, are you good?
Laura: Full house, people running from one end to the other ...
Thais: Was like that in my house too. We almost drove my mother crazy. Me and my brothers, all morning, from one end to the other.
Laura: That's the way it should be. Such a big house like ours is better crowded. I'd still like to convince Salvador and Simão to come back here.
Eduardo: Mom, if that happens, do me the favor that Simão and Nuno's room is far away from mine, because there are things I'd rather not hear.
Laura: Eduardo, do not be rude .... DON'T BE RUDE!
Eduardo: Just the image gives me the creeps, mother. That is the truth. I apologize for being honest.
(Laura looks at her watch.)
Laura: Matilde's hearing should be starting.
