I can't believe they...

Left me back here...

And went to party in New York!

I'm down here untying my hair.

It figures, to be rolling stones until the morning,

to wake up at noon.

I don't buy that.

If I'm the main character.

Home alone!

So the guys left me behind.

What's left is to wander here at Central Park.

In New York.

It's beautiful.

It's like the Flag Square in Teresina.

Just the same, pal, this stuff.

The Court Square in Bom Jesus as well.

Feels like looking at them. You stare at it,

if I close my eyes I'm in Bom Jesus.

Folks, I've found my brother, look.

I'm Chip, he's Dale.

Hey, Dale, come up here.

That's good stuff. It's the cheese-dysentery.

Whindersson thinks we left him here. So we could be walking in New York...

Fooling around.

He has no clue about the big surprise his best mate here is preparing.

Sick surprise.

And since I'm cool, I'll save time.

I called Marivaldo,

who's a performer at a very well-known show,

for over 25 years, Stomp.

Which is just like a...

Olodum...

And they play drums with brooms, trashcans, trash...

With flip flop straps, everything you can think of.

It's awesome.

-Yo, man. -This is Marivaldo.

-I thought you wouldn't come. -What?

-Are you stuck in the cold? -No, I'm good. Let's go upstairs?

Come on, let's get inside.

Come meet the folks.

-Get to know what we do up here. -That's sick.

This theater here is the one

that's been running Stomp for 25 years, as of this year.

-Twenty-five already? -Only at this theater.

-When did you come to the US? -Back in '91.

-In '91... -I came here, as my choreographer sister,

she called to... I'm actually a musician. I've played with Sting,

with Lauryn Hill, traveled the world, and this show's made for you.

-Yeah, I like it. I do, the rhythm. -You like the drumbeat, the rhythm.

-Let's see there, then. Are you ready? -I am.

-I'm not really ready, you'll make me. -Let's meet the folks.

I wanted to show you some things.

Things we do here in the show.

There are eight people in the cast.

Today we are only four.

Five with you.

You're going to do what I did a long time ago.

The audition.

-Come meet the folks? -Yes.

Ready?

Not quite, but I will be soon.

Yeah, you got it.

I'll show you the broom part.

The first basis to the rhythm is...

Forward, then backwards.

If you're hitting one,

you go, hit, forward, backwards, forward.

That would be one.

One, two, three, and one.

One, one, hold that one.

Then we get back to... one.

That's right.

One, two, three!

You rocked, pal. You played ball, daddy-o.

That's amazing.

I'm very honored to join you.

How do you say? It's an honor.

-We're tight, daddy-o. -Thanks, we thank you.

-Fuck, I felt like a kid there. -But you are connected, man.

You got it pretty quick.

Normally we take about ten minutes to get the hang of it here.

Just one of these sets.

-Fuck, bro. -So you see how it's familiar.

It's so good to know a little beat.

-It's in the blood. -Get the beat, folks!

I want to ask a favor, if it's not bothersome.

-What's that? -It's been about...

Some time since I left Salvador...

There's a good friend of mine.

Not just friend. She's a mother figure that watched me growing up,

someone who fed me when I couldn't by myself,

like a sister, friend, everything. I want to...

It's really simple, the wrapping is just like Stomp,

a gift that is not just any gift,

it's real gratitude.

-It comes with love. -I'd like you to...

-...do me that favor. -You bet. I'll deliver it myself.

-Straight to her hands. -That's cool, bro.

-That's really cool. -The man is there,

with some sick drumbeats, that you can't come

and not want to beat until you...

-Really good, man. -Thank you. Let's go.

Let's move.

-That's awesome. -I'm glad you came.

I'm really glad.

Where are these boys, fella?

It started raining.

No trace of them.

Come one, macho, answer me.

I've walked all of Times Square.

I'm anxious.

Where are these dudes, bro?

He thinks we took the day off and we've got a surprise.

You're up to something awesome, we used to watch movies

thinking, "How awesome would it be to do that?"

Now you place it in New York.

Miss Pabllo is back here, so that we start at the right time.

-What's up, Joe? -You...

-Hey, Joe. -Ass faces. You disappeared.

It's our day off, man.

-I was sleeping at the hotel. -Today was our day off.

You said you would stay there.

Well, I was sleeping.

Hello, thank you. Are these for me?

-Thank you. -Isn't it one for each?

One for each?

Let's get a picture, then.

One for you, another for you.

And one for me.

Fuck, we are famous in New York.

-We're too much. -Not like those in Salvador,

that they charge you after?

Is it for free?

Free call, right?

I was looking there, an ad playing that's just like that guy.

-What's that? -Just like it.

Listen, listen to it.

That's the real deal.

If they charge it in the end that'll be a costly one.

I'm broke.

I've only got some yen I brought from Japan.

God help us, they want cash.

Yikes! It's High School Musical!

That's curious. You think they're taping and we don't know?

That's cool, bro.

-God help us. -There's another one.

-Awesome, pal. -Real top, bro.

Funny thing is they perform it like it's their last day.

Holy crap!

Can we film it?

That's something. That's Pabllo Vittar.

Now that's about a thousand.

That's Pabllo Vittar.

Rock it, babe!

-That's strong, bro. -Fuck, it's awesome.

How are you, love?

How are you, love?

Thank you, it was amazing.

Just like High School Musical, fella.

-Catch your breath, fuck. -Catch your breath.

Just a sec, guys.

Did you just see that? We stopped Times Square.

We stopped it. Whindersson was like this. You've got to respect.

I'm the real deal, pal.

And we got a day off as a reward!

I'm off today, daddy-o.

Whindersson arranged to watch a b-ball game with Pabllo.

Back there at the Mads... Mads Square Garden.

That's it, Mads Square Garden. A b-ball game of

UTZ against New York Knicks.

Yeah, those. It's basketball.

I won't be lying about my English.

It's a basketball game.

Hey, queen, where are you? I'm here already, come on.

Come on, woman.

-I'm here. -Finally, fuck.

-Hi! -It seems close but it's a lot of traffic.

I know, right? It's like a...

...crazy São Paulo, New York.

-You show-off. -You liked it?

-I did. Pretty nice. -I saw something of Luísa Sonza.

-Do we get in from here? -From there.

We get in here.

-This place is top. -I'm beige.

-Where were you born? -In São Luís.

First São Luís, lived and worked in Indaiatuba, and back to Maranhão.

No, I was born in São Luis, then I lived in a lot of cities there before Caxias.

Which was the last city I lived in Maranhão. From there to Indaiatuba.

To try a career. Crazy, amore. I was 14.

-Why Indaiatuba? Because of drag? -No, my sister got married and went there.

-And that was closer to São Paulo. -And then you grabbed it.

And to Caxias, that is this big, where everyone knew me, to a place

where I could reach out to more people, I went to the second.

-Did people know you there in Caxias? -I was always dancing on TV, dear.

Axé, singing at a local show.

Every weekend.

So people were tired of seeing me.

So, no.

-You know when you click? -When you stop to look, Brazil.

The world, right? What can I do?

Now, the world.

-Now focus. -I got it.

When he uses both...

Always one hand.

-Fuck, never noticed that. -Foul!

It was a foul.

-Do you see that big blue line, like this? -That's the three-points area, right?

-If you... -Outside of it, three. Inside, two.

If it's like that free-throw, one point.

-And if they throw from the net, a dunk? -One point.

-One point. -No, that's two?

-If he jumps... -Two points, if dunk?

-That's two. -Two points, then.

-One point is only that stationed. -The regular.

You know, a foul? When everyone stops to watch the guy throw it.

Then it's one.

Awesome, very good! I loved the basketball game!

Three points is a mockery, dear.

Yes, I'll take it to Brazil, start using it with my friends.

When I come back to Brazil, I'll introduce the three points.

-With the boys. -Three points.

It might become the new motto.

-Yes, wow, that's three points, amore. -That was.

Raulzinho, you saw that? Big score from Raulzinho, daddy-o.

You got to respect him.

-Go, Raul! -Raul!

Look here, you stray dog!

-Do you think we can meet my boy, after? -Raul?

-Yes, himself. -I think we can.

-We can, can't we? -Yes, sure.

We will try talking to Raul.

-He is dominating it. -Let's go, Raul!

-Raul is good. -Go, baby!

He's the bomb.

-When in New York... -It's Madison Square!

-It's Madison Square! -I'm crying, fuck.

I have a hunch I'll leave here like a married woman today.

Hi, how are you?

This sir behind you is very interested.

I'm onto him, checking the blondie. The doll.

When he sees the size of the doll...

He's going to be speechless, dear.

-What happened, love, are you crazy? -The size of that doll...

-Look at the size, I'm bigger than you. -He'll hush in a sec.

A big doll like that.

-How are you? -Fuck, what a game.

-Congrats, you rocked, dear! -Thanks. How are you?

-Did you guys like it? -Dude, that's big.

It was a monster game.

-I learned a lot today, about basketball. -Did you?

I couldn't wait for you to get in court because you're so hot!

She always says it, right?

Everyone was saying it, fella.

We were screaming! You never looked at us.

Don't get full of yourself, she said that to all of them.
