David was taken to the airport by Leo and  Cláudia and departured. Mike, Denise and Roger had lunch at the restaurant across the street from the hotel, while Ralfo went to get the VW van for the afternoon shooting. 

It was a long journey to the Aleph publishing house, to interview  Pierluigi Piazzi, responsible for the Star Trek releases of the company and a keen blonde jokes teller.  Denise made fun of having to think a little to understand his jokes.

The Hollywood documentary producer Mike Leahy, was wearing his brown jacket bought from the seemstress' vintage hanger, red shorts and flip-flops.

Denise and Mike accept Ralfo's suggestion for a night out at Brahma bar, at the corner of Ipiranga and Sao Joao avenues, mentioned in the lyrics of Caetano Veloso (Denise is fond of "bossa nova").
