 The sisters are deciding where to go on holiday. Aurora wants to go to the beach, to Guarujá or Santos, and announces her plans to buy a modern bathing suit, a bikini. Ana prefers the quiet countryside of Mogi das Cruzes, and is scandalized by the idea of her sister in a two-piece bathing suit. Aurora pays no heed and continues to read classified ads for apartments. Finally she finds one for a sea-front mansion. Ana suggests an old house in Santos must have roaches, and bats. In the next scene they have entered the oceanfront castle, and soon encounter the butler, Ataúde Iodoformio, whose first and most frequent phrase is "Do not disturb the peace that is found in silence." The castle has other denizens. The ghost Thank You appears only as a floating sheet and a voice intoning "Thank You"; as an American ghost, he is worried about the situation in Cuba. The maid Lapide ("Tombstone") says she is once a woman, but is now only fluid. There is also a man who claims he is a suit of armor, and that he is the only living person in the castle, the ghosts leaving him alone because they think he s a ghost, too. The sisters are given successively a can of crackers, and a can containing dominoes. Both turn out to have spring-filled cloth snakes inside. Finally when the three advance on the them in a sinister fashion, the sisters shout "No... sister... sister... sister." We then see Aurora clutching her newspaper as Ana runs in. The castle was a nightmare. Lucia decides she ll to to Mogi das Cruzes with Ana.
