- Dona Redonda's dossier about João Gibão. Part of it is read onscreen: it calls him a terrorist agent working for NASA and says João is never seen washing his coat, and thus it's unhygienic. The "document" only has similar lies, in an attempt to destroy João's reputation.
- Maria Aparadeira hearing Marcina say she is going to marry João, and immediately fainting (she even tells a client of hers to keep her baby in just for a while).
- After Professor Aristóbulo does Dona Redonda's eulogy at her funeral, Seu Encolheu promptly says that if she was still alive, she'd explode in joy due to Aristóbulo's words. He regrets it immediately.
- When the Professor arrives at the funeral, the lights go down and the candles stop working. After he wishes everyone (including the recently deceased) a good evening, the candles and lights start working again. Everyone else freaks out, but he doesn't seem to pay attention to it at all.
- After Dona Redonda explodes, and the giant hole she left behind it's covered, a plant starts to bloom in it. Seu Encolheu becomes convinced the flower is his late wife reincarnated.
- After Seu Cazuza resuscitates, he starts to complain about his casket and his funeral procession. To which Dona Maria Aparadeira says she should've done even less, as he died in a Den of Iniquity, according to her (it was just Risoleta's inn, really). The kicker is that Professor Aristóbulo, who's just listening to the conversation there, says that his funeral was one of the funniest he'd ever went, and that his casket looked very good.
- Aristóbulo goes to see Risoleta and jumps up her bedroom's window to watch her. He fantasizes about her (and she about him), gets distracted and accidentally falls on top of Dr. Rochinha, who was walking by there completely drunk. The Professor then manages to convince Dr. Rochinha that he was the one who fell against him.Dr. Rochinha: Professor, what were you doing up there and falling on top of me?Professor Aristóbulo (with an Oh, Crap! look on his face): Huh... I.. You were the one who fell on top of me!Dr. Rochinha: I'm drunk, but I'm not going up on walls.Professor Aristóbulo: Me neither, I'm not a gecko. I was walking by here and then you fell like a sack of potatoes on me.Dr. Rochinha: I... Don't remember it, but if you're saying then who am I to deny it?
- After the Professor goes away, Dr. Rochinha tries to go down a few steps on the stairs, only to fall down and end up sleeping there.
- The day after, he tells Dora and Rosalice that he saw the Professor walking by.
Dr. Rochinha: I don't remember... Professor Aristóbulo was here, he fell on top of my head, or I fell on the Professor with a sack of potatoes.Rosalice: So Professor Aristóbulo was here last night?Dr. Rochinha: Yes, yes he was, he fell right on top of my head!
