Henrique Abranches – Tchoya
- “I’m going to take him to my hut.”
- (He seems very weak.)
– “Come on, young man, strength! I’m going to take you to a safer place.” - “We’re close… Five more steps and we’re there.”
- A little while later the hunter went out to look for medicinal herbs.
- Returning right away…
- “I got ‘em! With these herbs you’ll be cured in a few days.”
- “Tchoya, look there next to the river!”
- “An antelope! It’s within our reach!”
– “He saw us already!” - “Ah! Barely missed!”
Henrique Abranches – O Rei Contente (2)
- [Singing] “When my love returns I’m gonna hit’em in the head to plug…”
- “…their awareness with a Zanzibar crown, when my love returns…”
– “…to the garbage man in the alley of the Providence Theatre..” - “What was that? They never saw me? They don’t know me?”
– “Well… No.. we don’t know you!” - “I know that! Everyone’s afraid of me but nobody knows me! My name is Happy King!”
– “And what are you doing there?” - “Me…?! Ah, my friend! You don’t even want to know! This is my kingdom, I am looking for all your secrets!”
- [Singing] “When my love returns I’m gonna hit’em in the head.”
- “Look here, you see?”
– “We see it, it doesn’t look like anything more than an old radio…” - “What? This is a secret! You didn’t remember? Think about it, my friend, when you lived in an old house on the street of flowers?!!”
- The next morning…
- “And now a new life.”
– [Calendar: Thursday] - [Calendar: Friday]

- [Calendar: Sunday, every day]
– “He, he, he!”
– Some wine, no? - “Whiskey, yeah?”
- “Still?!”

O Rei Contente: (“The Happy King”)
- “Who is that man who stole the electronic system, Mr. Happy King?”
- “It is you, brother! It’s you, it’s you, and you, too. Anyways, it’s all of you!”

– “What!!!” - “And can we know why you did us the courtesy of coming here to tell us this?”
– “Because I want to be free of them. They have imprisoned and enslaved me! It is crazy that this still happens.” - “Yeah it is, but you’re to blame. Son of a bitch, you went from Luanda to Zongolar where we sell our goods!”
– “It wasn’t like that, sir!” - “Shut up! This is all because of your stupidity! And thanks to your stupidity you are now a prisoner here and you’ll only leave when the dust settles!”
– “What?!?” - “There’s more: you’re not just gonna sit on your ass here! You’re gonna go get water, replace the gas, clean the floors, and a whole lot more… plenty more, kid.”

- “Oh! Xano dear… You can’t spend all your time thinking about Quim like this! You’re gonna make yourself sick.”
- Later on Jaime and Lurdes are surprised by the unexpected visit from the dealers.
