37. THE CARIOCA

1
00:00:01.20 --> 00:00:05.12
During the first Rock in Rio, the city’s into only one thing

2
00:00:05.14 --> 00:00:09.06
Ernesto Varela, from São Paulo, tries to set to their mood

3
00:00:09.27 --> 00:00:11.06
VARELA IN RIO

4
00:00:16.20 --> 00:00:18.25
Hello there, dear Abril Video spectators,

5
00:00:18.26 --> 00:00:21.12
once again with you, your reports Ernesto Varela.	

6
00:00:21.24 --> 00:00:24.26
As you see, I’m not just a reporter,

7
00:00:24.26 --> 00:00:26.19
but sometimes also a driver

8
00:00:24.26 --> 00:00:28.01
to our staff.

9
00:00:28.03 --> 00:00:30.09
We’re in Rio de Janeiro this week,

10
00:00:30.09 --> 00:00:33.17
and we’re going to show you the sort of bloke

11
00:00:33.17 --> 00:00:36.24
that lives around here, the carioca.	

12
00:00:48.25 --> 00:00:49.21
Are you recording, Waldecy?

13
00:00:51.01 --> 00:00:52.14
Very well, dear spectators,

14
00:00:52.14 --> 00:00:57.27
carioca, from the Tupi, cari-oca, means “white man’s home”.

15
00:00:58.00 --> 00:01:00.22
Let’s check what the cariocas do

16
00:01:00.28 --> 00:01:01.23
in their routines. 

17
00:01:02.01 --> 00:01:05.24
It’s now 12:30 pm, but some of them are already on the beach.

18
00:01:05.24 --> 00:01:07.02
Let’s talk to them, Waldecy.

19
00:01:09.05 --> 00:01:12.11
Wait, Waldecy, do you think we can wear shoes at the beach?

20
00:01:12.20 --> 00:01:14.05
I don’t know, you better take them off.

21
00:01:14.09 --> 00:01:17.17
It’s going to be weird, Waldecy.

22
00:01:18.01 --> 00:01:20.00
Do you think we look weird in here?

23
00:01:20.03 --> 00:01:21.01
I don’t think so, let’s go.

24
00:01:31.28 --> 00:01:33.26
Hey, buddy, excuse me.

25
00:01:35.11 --> 00:01:37.22
How long you’ve been selling stuff at the beach?

26
00:01:38.13 --> 00:01:39.01
It’s been 3 years.	
	
27
00:01:39.09 --> 00:01:41.00

– Are you carioca?
– Yes, I am.

28
00:01:41.16 --> 00:01:44.02
Do you have anything different

29
00:01:44.02 --> 00:01:46.07
from the other Brazilian inhabitants? 

30
00:01:48.03 --> 00:01:48.28
It depends, you know.

31
00:01:49.03 --> 00:01:52.13
Brazilians are a really welcoming, nice people.

32
00:01:52.14 --> 00:01:54.13
But in Rio this is way more advanced,

33
00:01:54.13 --> 00:01:55.19
like, from…

34
00:01:55.21 --> 00:01:58.02
– More advanced?
– Yes, like…

35
00:01:58.05 --> 00:02:00.05
– More cheerful. 
– More cheerful.

36
00:02:01.02 --> 00:02:04.13
You’re super cheerful, but you spend the whole day lying

37
00:02:04.13 --> 00:02:05.20
in the sand. How’s that word?

38
00:02:06.09 --> 00:02:12.01
No, this is part of the thing… to come to the beach, go…

39
00:02:12.05 --> 00:02:14.14
– It’s part of the thing?
– This is a carioca thing.
	
40
00:02:15.19 --> 00:02:19.07
Why do you all have this accent, like, is it part of the thing?

41
00:02:20.12 --> 00:02:21.09
Well, I don’t know about that…

42
00:02:21.09 --> 00:02:23.13
You don’t know? I don’t know either.

43
00:02:24.13 --> 00:02:26.20
Teach me some carioca slang words.

44
00:02:27.09 --> 00:02:32.07
Well, there’s “e aí?”, “beleza?”, “e aí, beleza?”…

45
00:02:32.14 --> 00:02:33.10
What does it mean?

46
00:02:33.20 --> 00:02:36.07
 “E aí?”. You say it to salute someone.	

47
00:02:36.17 --> 00:02:37.18
To salute Waldecy	

48
00:02:37.18 --> 00:02:38.24
I have to say “e aí, Waldecy”, is that right?

49
00:02:39.26 --> 00:02:41.25
 “Beleza, cara, tudo bem?”

50
00:02:41.28 --> 00:02:42.26
 “Beleza, Waldecy?”

51
00:02:45.07 --> 00:02:47.28
Hey Waldecy, what are you looking there?

52
00:02:48.26 --> 00:02:51.06
My boss asked me to talk to some babes,

53
00:02:51.06 --> 00:02:53.13
it must them. Let’s go, Waldecy?

54
00:02:55.00 --> 00:02:56.06
– Hi, how are you?
– Hi.

55
00:02:56.17 --> 00:02:58.04
Are you a babe?

56
00:03:00.28 --> 00:03:01.20
Are you?	

57
00:03:02.05 --> 00:03:02.25
Of course!

58
00:03:02.25 --> 00:03:04.27
What’s important going on right now

59
00:03:04.27 --> 00:03:05.29
here in Rio de Janeiro?

60
00:03:06.25 --> 00:03:09.03
– There’ll be Rock in Rio.
– What’s that?

61
00:03:09.13 --> 00:03:11.07
– Rock in Rio.
– Rock in Rio?

62
00:03:11.07 --> 00:03:13.13
Yep. On the 7th of January.

63
00:03:13.13 --> 00:03:17.06
– And what is that, the Rock in Rio?
– Don’t you know it?

64
00:03:17.13 --> 00:03:20.01
– Nope. Do you know it, Waldecy?
– Nope.

65
00:03:21.12 --> 00:03:24.13
Let’s get to know what Rock in Rio is.

66
00:03:24.24 --> 00:03:25.15
Thanks a lot.

67
00:03:26.29 --> 00:03:29.09
I have an idea. I’ll try to get know what Rock in Rio is

68
00:03:29.06 --> 00:03:32.00
but I’ll pretend I have a carioca accent

69
00:03:32.00 --> 00:03:34.24
so they won’t think I’m an uninformed paulista. 

70
00:03:34.24 --> 00:03:35.14
Let’s go, Waldecy.

71
00:03:36.02 --> 00:03:40.19
Excuse me, can you tell me

72
00:03:42.10 --> 00:03:44.03
what is Rock in Rio?

73
00:03:44.09 --> 00:03:46.02
– Rock in Rio?
– Yes.

74
00:03:50.19 --> 00:03:51.29
– Are you carioca like me?
– Nope.

75
00:03:52.18 --> 00:03:54.13
– Oh, you’re not?
– No, I’m gaucha. 

76
00:03:54.29 --> 00:03:55.28
Me neither, I’m paulista,

77
00:03:45.28 --> 00:03:58.17
I was just trying to make a… Sorry about that, ok?

78
00:04:01.06 --> 00:04:02.15
It didn’t work, Waldecy. 

79
00:04:02.20 --> 00:04:05.05
– Hey, excuse me, what’s your name?
– Alexandre.

80
00:04:05.18 --> 00:04:08.09
– Are you carioca?
– Yep. Born and raised.

81
00:04:08.09 --> 00:04:10.18
Born and raised. What’s that mean?

82
00:04:11.01 --> 00:04:14.08
I was born here, near to the beach,

83
00:04:14.08 --> 00:04:15.29
I was born in Copacabana.

84
00:04:15.29 --> 00:04:18.05
At Barata Ribeiro avenue. 

85
00:04:18.05 --> 00:04:20.26
Why do you all talk like this, with this accent,

86
00:04:20.26 --> 00:04:21.23
it’s all like…

87
00:04:21.23 --> 00:04:24.23
– What is that?
– It’s the swag, you know…

88
00:04:24.23 --> 00:04:25.26
– The swag?
– Yes.

89
00:04:26.23 --> 00:04:29.18
We’ve got a lot of swag, the people in here

90
00:04:29.18 --> 00:04:34.09
are really easy-going, open minded and free…

91
00:04:34.09 --> 00:04:35.08
Free from what?

92
00:04:37.27 --> 00:04:38.27
We’re free like, I mean, a people that…

93
00:04:38.27 --> 00:04:43.22
We’re easy-going, we’re always chill.

94
00:04:43.22 --> 00:04:44.28
– Chill?
– Yes.

95
00:04:45.13 --> 00:04:48.06
And how do you get to be always chill?

96
00:04:49.03 --> 00:04:51.21
You just have to cheer up

97
00:04:51.21 --> 00:04:53.19
and be yourself.

98
00:04:53.19 --> 00:04:56.06
Oh, is it? Thanks a lot, Alexandre.

99
00:04:49.03 --> 00:04:59.06
What do you feel happy for?

100
00:05:00.13 --> 00:05:02.00
I think it’s…

101
00:05:02.00 --> 00:05:05.23
Life is on wonderful thing, man.

102
00:05:05.23 --> 00:05:07.23
– Is it?
– We’re alive, we’re healthy,

103
00:05:08.18 --> 00:05:09.25
everything is fine.
– Everything is fine?

104
00:05:09.25 --> 00:05:11.23
– It is.
– Ok. Give me a hint, then,

105
00:05:11.23 --> 00:05:14.22
so I can talk to your carioca fellow countrymen.

106
00:05:14.22 --> 00:05:16.28
How am I suppose to behave when I talk to them?

107
00:05:16.28 --> 00:05:19.09
I’m from São Paulo, you know? I don’t get it quite well.

108
00:05:19.28 --> 00:05:22.12
Well, you just have to be open minded,

109
00:05:22.12 --> 00:05:25.21
have the swag…

110
00:05:25.25 --> 00:05:27.10
– Open minded?
– Yes.

111
00:05:27.10 --> 00:05:28.16
How’s it? Show it to me.

112
00:05:29.04 --> 00:05:31.24
 “Hey, bro, what’s up, all’s cool”.

113
00:05:32.10 --> 00:05:34.09
 “Hey, I’m in the house, see y’all”

114
00:05:34.21 --> 00:05:36.13
 “I’m in the house”… You’ve arrived and left?

115
00:05:26.13 --> 00:05:38.01
What’s up, all’s cool?

116
00:05:38.21 --> 00:05:40.18
– Yeah!
– Ok, I’ll try it,

117
00:05:40.18 --> 00:05:41.12
ok, Alexandre. Thanks a lot.

118
00:05:42.09 --> 00:05:46.28
Hi! Hi! What’s up, all’s cool,

119
00:05:46.28 --> 00:05:48.11
everything chill, you ok?

120
00:05:48.11 --> 00:05:51.00
That’s it, I’m in the house.
See y’all.

121
00:05:53.08 --> 00:05:55.12
How was it, what did you think of performance?

122
00:05:56.01 --> 00:05:58.29
It was ok, look… The thing is…

123
00:05:59.08 --> 00:06:03.02
You go like “Hi, what’s up, all’s cool? All’s cool up here?

124
00:06:03.02 --> 00:06:04.15
I said it all!

125
00:06:04.15 --> 00:06:08.00
You don’t go and say “Hi, all’s cool, everything’s chill,

126
00:06:08.01 --> 00:06:10.25
yo, yo, see y’all”. You say what you’ve got to say

127
00:06:10.26 --> 00:06:14.19
and then sometimes you say “Hey, bro, what’s up, see y’all”.

128
00:06:14.19 --> 00:06:17.02
Oh, and then you say “see y’all” when you leave somewhere?

129
00:06:17.02 --> 00:06:19.28
– Yeah, like “see y’all later”.
– Oh, ok, cool.
		
130
00:06:20.24 --> 00:06:23.28
We’re now in a street in Rio de Janeiro

131
00:06:23.28 --> 00:06:28.10
and, as you can see, it’s filled with cariocas.

132
00:06:28.10 --> 00:06:31.00
Hi. Look, I’m not from here,

133
00:06:31.00 --> 00:06:33.29
and I noticed that you, cariocas, talk a lot.

134
00:06:34.08 --> 00:06:37.02
What do you have that’s so important

135
00:06:37.02 --> 00:06:38.10
to talk about?
– Women…

136
00:06:39.18 --> 00:06:44.14
Soccer. Samba. Beach. Rock in Rio.

137
00:06:44.14 --> 00:06:46.21
Why are you so smart?

138
00:06:46.21 --> 00:06:48.07
We’re not smart,

139
00:06:48.07 --> 00:06:52.01
we’re just cariocas… We’re smart,

140
00:06:48.07 --> 00:06:54.21
aren’t you? No one here is smart.

141
00:06:54.21 --> 00:06:56.18
You’re smart, I saw it in your face,

142
00:06:56.18 --> 00:06:58.01
you’re very smart, you see?

143
00:06:58.01 --> 00:06:59.07
Thanks for that.

144
00:06:59.07 --> 00:07:01.02
What’s your secret to be smart?

145
00:07:01.10 --> 00:07:02.20
– It’s being carioca.
– Is it?

146
00:07:02.20 --> 00:07:03.22
– Yes.
– Well…

147
00:07:04.06 --> 00:07:06.07
Another fact about the city of Rio de Janeiro

148
00:07:06.07 --> 00:07:08.20
is that people here are always in fashion

149
00:07:08.20 --> 00:07:11.23
that, like many of you may know, are fleeting ways

150
00:07:11.23 --> 00:07:14.11
to hairdo, to dress up,

151
00:07:14.11 --> 00:07:17.09
to wear shoes, to hold a microphone,

152
00:07:17.09 --> 00:07:20.07
and even to wear glasses. Let’s check what’s in fashion

153
00:07:20.07 --> 00:07:21.29
here in Rio de Janeiro. Let’s go, Waldecy.

154
00:07:27.13 --> 00:07:30.17
Excuse me, what’s in fashion here in Rio de Janeiro?

155
00:07:31.05 --> 00:07:32.26
– Surf style.
– Surf style?

156
00:07:32.26 --> 00:07:34.20
Is it what you’re wearing?

157
00:07:40.27 --> 00:07:43.15
For those who don’t know, surfing is the action of accompanying 

158
00:07:43.15 --> 00:07:46.18
the trajectory of waves with these boards made of

159
00:07:46.18 --> 00:07:51.01
glass fiber. They’re known as surfboards. 

160
00:07:51.19 --> 00:07:53.25
Can I show your surfboard?

161
00:07:54.11 --> 00:07:57.05
– This one is a shaped board.
– Shaped?

162
00:07:57.05 --> 00:08:00.14
The foam, it’s shaped, it has this shape,

163
00:08:00.27 --> 00:08:03.14
they wrap it up with a colorful resin

164
00:08:03.28 --> 00:08:07.05
with a thousand colors, happiness, summer, surfing, Rock in Rio…

165
00:08:07.05 --> 00:08:11.21
Rock in Rio? By the way, listen, I’ve been noticing

166
00:08:11.21 --> 00:08:14.19
that you use words I don’t get quite well,

167
00:08:14.19 --> 00:08:16.29
do you have any slang words to teach me?

168
00:08:16.29 --> 00:08:18.25
The thing is that you’re sort of uptight, man.

169
00:08:18.26 --> 00:08:22.26
– Uptight, do you think?
– The youngsters here… 

170
00:08:23.19 --> 00:08:25.02
What does uptight mean?

171
00:08:25.27 --> 00:08:29.02
It’s a dude that don’t get things well,

172
00:08:29.02 --> 00:08:30.21
don’t know slangs…
– Is it?

173
00:08:30.21 --> 00:08:33.21
Someone who can’t talk. Who’s sort of square,

174
00:08:33.21 --> 00:08:35.05
who don’t know what’s cool.

175
00:08:35.05 --> 00:08:36.23
– Is it?
– Sure!

176
00:08:37.05 --> 00:08:39.04
Well, I’ll try again then,

177
00:08:39:04 --> 00:08:42.09
this is the International Year of Youth.

178
00:08:42:27 --> 00:08:45.14
As a member of the youth, what interesting thing

179
00:08:45.14 --> 00:08:48.06
do you have to say to our spectators?

180
00:08:48.27 --> 00:08:50.26
Rock in Rio…

181
00:08:52.18 --> 00:08:53.15
Don’t show too much, Waldecy,

182
00:08:53:15 --> 00:08:55.07
the security doesn’t want to let us show it.

183
00:08:55.07 --> 00:08:59.00
It seems there’ll be a great ball I here, dear spectators.

184
00:08:59.09 --> 00:09:02.01
Look, there’s a lot of ticket offices, look at the size of this sign.

185
00:09:02.01 --> 00:09:03.02
Show it, Waldecy.

186
00:09:06.02 --> 00:09:09.16
– I’m a journalist.
– We’d like to see your credentials…

187
00:09:09.21 --> 00:09:12.27
– Rock in Rio is going to be here, isn’t it?
– I’d like to see your credentials…

188
00:09:12.27 --> 00:09:14.16
Credentials? But we’re on the street!

189
00:09:17.24 --> 00:09:20.07
No credentials, buddy, I’m a reporter.

190
00:09:27:07 --> 00:09:28.29
Very well, dear spectators,

191
00:09:28.29 --> 00:09:32.00
I just found what Rock in Rio is going to be.

192
00:09:32.00 --> 00:09:35.29
It’s going to be a great ball with famous bands

193
00:09:35.29 --> 00:09:41.05
from all over the world, like Ozzy Osbourne,

194
00:09:41.05 --> 00:09:44.14
Whitesnake and Iron Maiden, for example.

195
00:09:44.14 --> 00:09:47.18
Let’s see if we get to check what’s going on inside

196
00:09:47.18 --> 00:09:49.17
from a hole in the wall. Come here, Waldecy!

197
00:09:50.03 --> 00:09:51.03
Show it, Waldecy.

198
00:09:51.03 --> 00:09:54.10
It seems there’re secret operations going on in there,

199
00:09:54.10 --> 00:09:56.01
so they won’t let us in.

200
00:09:56.09 --> 00:09:58.06
We can see a helicopter,

201
00:09:59.00 --> 00:10:01.08
some men carrying grass

202
00:10:01.14 --> 00:09:04.25
and some huge towers with lights on top.

203
00:10:05.21 --> 00:10:07.04
There’re some interferences in here, Varela.

204
00:10:07.04 --> 00:10:09.07
– What’s going on, Waldecy?
– Something weird…

205
00:10:09.15 --> 00:10:11.00
What’s that, Waldecy?

206
00:10:11.00 --> 00:10:13.15
It seems that some image from another channel is on?

207
00:10:13.17 --> 00:10:15.02
– It’s Grobo’s!
– What?!

208
00:10:15.02 --> 00:10:15.22
It’s Grobo’s!

209
00:10:15.22 --> 00:10:19.01
Are they stealing our images? Abril Video’s been smuggled!

210
00:10:09.15 --> 00:10:21.26
This TV channel dominates the city of Rio de Janeiro!

211
00:10:21.26 --> 00:10:24.04
Look, dear spectators, next week

212
00:10:24.04 --> 00:10:27.12
we’ll try to jump over the wall and show that ball to you.

213
00:10:27.12 --> 00:10:29.04
If they don’t invade our camera, of course.
