A Scene from "Amo-te Teresa" (with a translation)

Some of you may recall an early post I did called "When Portugual 'Met' Diogo," after many of Diogo's Portuguese fans had written me to say that it was  "Amo-te Teresa" (which by the way, was the first tele-film made by the then fairly new network SIC) when Portugal REALLY first took notice of Diogo when it aired it in 2000.  

As a quick refresher, "Amo-te Teresa" tells the forbidden love story of Teresa and Miguel, aged 35 and 15, respectively.  Teresa is a doctor and, after a frustrated love life, she decides to abandon Lisbon and returns to her native land. Immediately, a strong attraction forms between Teresa and Miguel, a friend of her oldest son. Eighteen-years old when he filmed it, twenty when it aired, Diogo played 15-year-old "Miguel."

Fan Lou da Gama recently sent me another short, but pivotal scene from "Amo-te Teresa," in which Teresa confronts Miguel about something, as she struggles with her own feelings for him.... I think it is a scene many of you will enjoy.  And Lou was again kind enough to include a translation of the scene, which you can find right below the clip:

Lou da Gama's synopsis and translation:

"This scene happens after Teresa saw Miguel (Diogo) with a girl in a cafĂ©. Teresa is jealous. She is falling for Miguel but she’s fighting against this feeling because there is a 20 year age gap between them.

Teresa – Do you have condoms?
Miguel – What???
Teresa – As you’re dating that girl, I asked you if you have condoms. Or you don’t even know what that is?
Miguel – I’m not dating her!
Teresa – If you aren't, you will be dating her soon, so I think you’d better start thinking about these things.
Miguel – Why are you telling me this?
Teresa – Because I don’t think it’s a good idea to impregnate the girl. If you’re ashamed to buy them, I will get them for you. Look! It’s none of my business! I don’t give a damn about this shit. I’m just trying to help you.
Miguel – So, why are you so pissed off? (He knows she’s jealous.)
Teresa – Because you’re pissing me off with your bullshit. I’m not your mother to put up with your bullshit.
Miguel – I’m not telling you any bullshit. I’m not dating her and I don’t want to!
MUSIC…
Miguel - Damn!!! Haven’t you realized yet whom I want???
Teresa (after a surprised face) – You have no idea what you want!!!
Teresa - SHIT!!! (she breaks a glass in her hand)
Miguel – Watch out! You’re so daring, you don’t even seem to be a doctor...."

I don't think you guys need any translation for the rest.  :)

Thank you again to Lou da Gama for yet another great clip and translation.  Much appreciated!

Have a great night everyone.
