"LESBIAN AUGUST" "Look at his profile." "The boy's also shy." "What are the two of you saying all the time?" "You haven't stopped giggling ever since we set sail." "Why, Is It forbidden?" "When you Ignore us with your colors and brushes do we ever bother you?" "Your father was annoyed, too." "How did the fishing go last night?" "Was it a good session?" "So and so." "The yearly winds kept the fish in." "Tell me, are there any lobsters here?" "Not many." "Every once in a while." "If one shows up I'll bring it to you." "Yes, please do that." "Christina loves them." "Careful, don't fall." " Daddy, take this." " I'll take this." "Thanks." " Will you take this, too?" " Yes, give me the bag." "Let me help you." "Easy now." "That's it." "Thanks a lot." "You're very kind." "Christina!" "You bring more and more..." "I'll burst with all this food so early." "Won't you eat, too?" "I don't want to." "Come now, Angeliki." "Sometimes you act like a shrewd old woman." "What could your poor husband do?" "He went for work." "The cityman pays well." "Why didn't he take you with him?" "I'll tell you why." "Come." "Sit." "First, there's no more space in the boat." "Second, I have to mend the nets and third, because I want to give you a hand round the house." "And fourth, that swinger, the painters daughter will be with them." "And his brother won't have an unmarried man join in." "What are you saying?" "Has Kostas ever had eyes for a woman but you?" "He's had enough of me already." "Ah, Angeliki..." "Could a man ever have enough of you?" "Does anybody ever have enough of water and fresh bread?" "Wish I were in lucky Kostas' shoes..." "I wish you were." "But my cross-eyed fortune granted him to me." "You're exaggerating, Angeliki." "Kostas never approaches other women." "He loves you like a dog." "Will the painter be with them?" "Sure, they have their eyes on the girl." "If he wasn't, his wife would surely go along." "She's even worse." "She keeps her strictly by her side." "They say she's not her mother." "The city man married her recently as a widower." "You see?" "This kind of love between stepmother and stepdaughter is new to me." "Everyone on the Island says so." "They're always together." "They're a match probably." "Their ages have no much difference either." "That's why I say." "What does your brother want going between them?" "So, let me show you." "You look through here, you press this button, very easy." "Alright." "Enough of these silly photographs!" "I'm sorry..." "Elena!" "What are you doing?" "Give me the camera." "We're not finished yet." "Kostas!" "Hold it!" "It's my turn, now." "Hi." "Hey, lucky guy!" "I'm a player I am!" "Midday at the coffee shop?" "No work today?" "I've the day off." " Kostas went for a ride on the boat." " With the city people?" "Yeah, they pay well." "Well, your brother would go for free, if the painters daughter went along." "And you?" " Me, what?" "Well, Angeliki is alone at home and you at the coffee shop..." "Stavros, why don't you explain a bit what you just said?" "Well, I don't know..." "I remember your longing for Angeliki before she was your sister-in-law." "Since now Kostas is running after the city girl, you should keep Angeliki company." "And what's It to you?" "Judging on our house?" "You can't take a 'yoke, "was?" "Why fire up?" "Just coffee shop talk, is all." "No such jokes with me, OK?" "And wash your dirty mouth twice before mentioning Angeliki." "Angeliki ls my sister-In-law." "My brother's wife." "Dunno about yours, but in our house we don't raise eyes on another man's wife." " Nlkos, you were crazy about her." " Doesn't she know that?" "That was before she chose between us two." "She picked the one she wanted." "She's his by right." "I agree." "Never say a thing about her again if you want sweet bread on your table." "Kostas ls my brother and Angeliki my sister-in-law, you hear?" "My sister-in-law!" "Oh, don't, don't..." "And how will you name your painting?" ""My daughter and the fisherman"?" "No." "Just "Bodies in nature"." "I wonder at your resilience." "Don't you see how she encourages him?" "He's only a dirty fisherman, after all." "Is that what's bothering you?" "Your Indifference bothers me." "of course, she's your daughter." "But don't you consider people's talk?" "He'll spread it all over the island." "For God's sake, Elena." "One might think that you saw them do anything wrong." "What is it exactly?" "They're two children full of life, playing in the sea." "What's more natural?" "Tell that to the fisherman's wife when this is all over the island." "Elena, can't you see that this is a joy for me?" "It's the first time I see Christina expressing herself like a real woman." "The way she kept away from young men of her age..." "I'd started worrying." "Fine..." "Then we must also be grateful to Kostas the fisherman for awakening Christina's instincts." "Why not?" "Is it far still?" "No, we're there." "Yes, this is the spring!" "Good, 'cause I'm tired!" "I can't do this anymore!" "It's very beautiful, see?" "Right in the plane trees." " Nice water!" "I'm so thirsty!" " Don't drink, you're in sweat!" "Come and drink, Elena!" "No more, child." "So refreshing!" "I'll wash my face, too." "Cool it down a bit." "How nice!" "The water's cold!" "Comes down from the mountain." "There's a legend about Sappho in this place." "You know it?" "Yes." "I've heard it from my grandmother." "This spot was very much loved by Sappho." "So, she'd come here at nights talked with the trees and sang to them." "Once, she had to go on a faraway journey." "So she came on the last night to bid them farewell." "She knelt... and remained thus..." "in tears and silence." "It's from her tears that this spring was made." "And Sappho didn't she ever return to this spot?" "Not again." "They say that the forest's soul joined her on that journey." "Hey..." "Where did Christina go?" "Uphill." "Want me to call her?" "Yes, please do." "Christina!" "Christina!" "How hard your body isl" "We'll go swimming here tonight!" "The two of us." "On our own!" "Christina!" "I'll be waiting." "At the cove, this evening." "Is it for her?" "Which one?" "The one you're making." "Is it for whats-her-name?" "Which whats-her-name?" "The one you're running after like a puppy." "I'm speaking of the painters daughter." "You're not reasoning, woman." "You think my eyes are just decorative?" "I see much more than you think I do." "Get off my back, Angeliki!" "Give this to me." "And go make dinner for us." "I'll taking the boat out tonight." "You cannot fool me, Kostas." "I've watched you for days now." "You haven't touched me for three nights." "And you never wasted a moment when you laid with me before." "You're talking nonsense." "And what you're doing you'll be sorry for." "We'll see who's to be sorry first." "Well, can't you see she's only teasing you?" "Women like her only want one thing from men like you." "After taking It, they throw you away like trash." "By God, do you mean what you're saying?" "Who the hell put this Idea into your head?" "I've nothing to do with the girl." "May fire from heaven burn me, if I'm lying." "I only work for her father." "That's all." "Let alone him..." "He can't see beyond his nose." "Already, it's the talk of the town..." "What?" "What's the talk?" "How could you've not heard?" "Let's hear it." "Out with ill" "About his wife and daughter..." " About Christina?" " Oh?" "Now she has a name too?" "That's her name." "Don't change the subject." "Speak." "What do people say?" "Well, that..." "For a stepmother and a stepdaughter quite a strange kind of love they're feeling for each other." "You haven't noticed?" "Shame, a clever man like you..." "For crying out loud!" "Are you all insane?" "Is that your talk in the alleys?" "Worthy people show up and you're calling them names." "I'm only quoting talk." "You meet them every day, open your eyes and see for yourself." "You believe talk?" "Makes any difference if I do or not?" "Is she my sister?" "It's you getting angry with us insulting her." "If I ever hear you say that again" "I won't be responsible for what I'll do." "You hear?" "What you really should do Is mind your own home and business." "That's what I'm doing." "Minding my own home and husband." "These things I want to protect from that shameless one!" "Kostas, beware!" "It's the first time you ever raised your hand against me." "And you beat me because of her." "If I hear that you laid with her" "I'm telling you and be warned..." "I'll kill you!" "You're going out?" "Thought I might." "It's too hot tonight." "And you're going out to cool yourself?" "What else can one do?" "They can sit in the veranda, the garden..." "There are more ways of cooling off, you know, from the ones you attempt." "One must try them all." "Didn't you tell me that once?" "You mean what you had so far is not enough any more?" "One does not exclude the other." "Also, why all these innuendos?" "Simple, It's hot and I'm going for a walk." "Is that all?" "Don't go out tonight, Christina." "We'll stay together at the veranda." "Listen to some music." "And when your father goes to bed we'll go down to the beach." "The two of us." "Tomorrow, I promise you." "Let me go, I said tomorrow." "Let go of me, for Christ's sake!" "Tomorrow will be too late, for both you and me." "Don't go, Christina!" "Please!" "Elena, I told you." "I won't be late." "You have a date with that fisherman?" "Elena, please." "Let me get dressed now." "Father's alone downstairs." "Now you remember your father?" "I've been his wife for two years now." "Tonight you're worried he's alone?" "Will you finally let me gel ready?" "You won't be back, Christina." "If you leave tonight, you'll never come back to me." "Don't go." "I said I'd go and I will." "Very well, then." "Go!" "Go to that date with your dirty fisherman tonight." "But I'm saying this:" "When you come back my door will be closed." "Anything wrong?" "Nothing." "If only you looked at your face in the mirror..." "If I could paint your expression I'd name it..." ""Medusa's Head"." "Better put some sense In your daughter's head and leave mine alone." " Don't tell me you quarreled." " She wants to go out at night." " Is this a bad thing?" " This is not Athens but an island." " People see and talk." " She's a young girl." "She can't be locked In all day." "She need make some new friends." "No one's worthy enough In this damned place." "What can she talk about with them?" "There's plenty of good young men on this island." "Also, you know..." "Young people have their own ways of communication these days." "Is this perhaps related to that young fisherman?" " You tell me." " Father!" "I'm going for a walk." "I mean..." "Don't say anything." "Farewell, child." " Bye!" " Bye." "You know, Elena?" "I'm absolutely satisfied!" "I believe Christina ls discovering her femininity." "Actually, I was not worried." "But..." "Staying always at home, no recreation, stuck on you..." "How d'you mean?" "You know she and I are very good friends." "You should be pleased." "Of course..." "But..." "It's good for her to go out a bit, too." "Please..." "My medical drops..." "Hi there!" "All alone tonight?" "As you can see." "Is Kostas back yet?" "You think he'd get away so early?" "What from?" "Ask him when he's back." "He must have plenty to tell you about." "Be more specific, Angeliki." "I don't see what you mean." "He's with whats-her-name." "The painter's daughter." "Who told you he's with her?" "How do you know?" "You think a woman cannot understand?" "Did you ever find him outdoors at this hour?" "He may have got stuck somewhere." "Exactly my point." "But remember this, Nikos." "It will end bad." "I'm not the kind of woman who holds a candle to anyone." "He'll pay for that slap he gave me." "A slap?" "Kostas slapped you?" "Because I called that hussy "shameless"." "Perhaps your nagging got him furious?" "Kostas raised a hand against you!" "You must have said a grave thing." "She wants to ruin my house, that slut!" "Overstating things, are you, Angeliki?" "It was a bad moment and It's over." "Kostas loves you." "A defiled husband is of no use to me." "I'd rather have him swallowed by the sea." "Don't speak of such things!" "He may be with drinking company..." "Then go find him!" "Knock on the doors and ask." "Go then!" "If you're that sure about him." "I can't see you in this state, Angeliki." "If what you're saying's true, I'll rip him with my own hands." "But remember." "You're wrong!" "I'm only telling you this..." "Hold back your brother, or I may do anything!" "Well?" "What happened?" "Remember that story with the cherries from that writer's book?" "He wrote he saw the cherries red and crisp..." "He yearned for them." "But he had no money to buy them." "Once he got money he went and bought a whole crate of them and started eating and eating them until he got disgusted with them." "Then he never had another cherry." "You see now, Elena?" "Really, Christina?" "I swear." "I'm through with cherries." "Fancy him asking you to dance." "We're the talk of the village." "Their eyes are on us." "That's because you're the finest couple." "Can't you tell?" "If this bum doesn't stop staring at Christina like that, I'll slap him." "Why all this hate upon this man?" "She worries that I may fail in love with him." "Well, imagine me falling In love with a fisherman!" "Look at her!" "The way she giggles!" "Cheeky to the core!" " People are listening." " So what?" "Don't they see what I see?" "You think they don't know what I know?" "For God's sake now, you two!" "We're here for some fun." "You mind yours!" "You don't have anything to master yourself." "A fair to middling fair, isn't it now?" "This has never happened before!" "Well done, he deserved as much!" "She's crying all day long!" "You insulted her in front of everyone!" "You reckon I'm not aware?" "I stay away 'cause I don't dare look at her." "She Interprets differently." "Says you're bewitched by the painters daughter." "That slut!" "She acts as a stranger now!" "If only you'd seen her devouring me at the cove that night!" "You don't know those aristocrats, Kostas?" "They fancy you, get a taste of you, then they move on." "She won't get her way, though." "She'll bump into me." "I'll make her beg on her knees alright." "I'll humiliate her." "I suggest you drop her altogether and make up with Angeliki." "Wasn't her contempt at the fair enough for you?" "We'll see about that." "You see them?" "People know what they're talking about." "Next they'll start caressing in the street." "They say they're..." "What did you say?" "Me?" "Nothing!" "Cheers!" "Let's go swimming later... yeah, the vineyard..." "Hey men, look at her!" "What are you laughing at?" "Want to drive her crazy?" "Don't you have any shame of yours to consider?" "Is there one among you without a wrongdoing?" "What was that?" "Must be this guy Kostas." "He's always following me." "I wish It's him." "I'd enjoy this even more." "Kostas!" "You want something?" " My husband!" " Who?" "My husband." "Kostas, the fisherman." "Are you not well, my girl?" "Lost your husband and looking for him here?" " You took him from me." " Me?" "And do what with him?" "I don't even know who he is." "I'm hereto get him back." "Perhaps you're mad?" "Not me." "He is." "I'm not and never was involved with your man." "We only had a couple of rides on the boat, that's all." "I'm not responsible for any Ideas that he got in his mind." "You're holding him bewitched, hear?" "Like an elf." "Only you can break the spell." "Can you tell me the way?" "Should I get herbs and boll them and put them through the 40 waves thing?" "You know how." "I only want my man back and I'll gel him." "Go back on your way, girl." "Before I get really angry." "You should be attentive to your man in the first place." "I had none but him." "He meant the world." "My fortune." "My entire life." "I never spoke a bad word." "I never rumbled about poverty and misery." "Okay, okay." "Go now." "You see for yourself, your man's not here." "Yes, he is." "His mind, his soul, his heart." "He's here day and night." "I'm telling you again, his craze is not my fault." "You went with him." "I said on the boat, with my father and stepmother." " You laid with him." " I don't lay fishermen." "He tasted you!" "And this fire will burn us all." "Leave at once!" "I'll have you thrown out!" "I have no use for your man!" "I know women of your kind have no use for men!" "That's why I'm asking him back." "You're rich." "Beautiful." "Life was kind to you." "I had none else but this man." "He was my bread." "My thought, my anticipation." "You took him and nothing's left for me." "Listen carefully to what I'll say!" "The spell you cast on him..." "Only blood can break it now!" "Is It a threat?" "Leave me alone!" "You hear me?" "Only blood..." "HIS..." "Or yours." "Let me through, fisherman!" "I'll shout!" " Call your stepmother?" " We have nothing to discuss." " Hold It!" " Let me go, I say!" "I saw it all, last night." " It was you, then." " Yeah, me." "You're hurting me." "You enjoyed it that night." "My back still has scratches from your nails." "I've almost mined my home over you." "I'm ashamed to look at my neighbours." "Why, Christina?" "Why did you come to the cove that night then?" "Forget that night, fisherman." "You got what was for you to take." "Now get out of my way." "I don't have a name now, eh?" "I'm fisherman..." "Tell me." "What sort of fire is that in you?" "I always do as I like, fisherman, for as long as I like it." "Just one night." "Come to the cove one night and put out the flame in me." "Then I'll disappear." "You'll never see me again." "One night only." "Can't you see, then?" "You gave me all you had to give." "Go back to your wife and home." "Forget about me." "Say that you dreamed about that night at the cove." "Beware, Christina!" "If I talk about the things I saw neither your home nor this Island can hold you." "How d'you think your father will take it if he hears about what I saw last night?" "He won't believe It." "What did you see anyway?" "Is swimming with Elena so bad?" "Christina, be careful." "I'm telling you for the last time." "Either you come to the cove tonight and I never saw or heard a thing... or your father will have great fun hearing about this story." "Christina!" "You've been warned already." "I've told you so." "These people are violent." "He wanted me to go to the cove with him again." "He shouted they're right to talk about the two of us on the island and such... and that If I don't go with him tonight he'll tell father everything." "I fear your father may hear something." "It would be terrible for him if he did." "Perhaps I should leave the island for a while?" "And me?" "Tell me honestly." "Would you leave me alone?" "Dunno." "Have you thought what might happen if father heard about it?" "We have nothing to fear him for." "He'll never hear anything." "I promise." "I don't see any progress in your masterpiece." "I'm afraid it's a miss." "A miss?" "Quite." "I was betrayed by my subject matter itself." "I don't understand." "What do you mean?" "Nothing more than what I say." "I was betrayed by my subject matter." "Don't you see?" "It's lost its flame." "My entanglement has no soul." "Perhaps you haven't managed to capture the subject." "No." "That's not it." "I did capture it." "But inspiration did not last." "It's gone out." "Died." "And the subject died along with it." "I could use some new inspiration." "And I think I found it." "There's only one way of saving it." "The faces must be changed." "Completely." "So the painting acquires a new life." "How do you mean?" "I'll explain at once!" "Look!" "There." "That's what I mean." "That's how the painting must be done." "See now, Elena?" "The title must be changed too." "It's not "Bodies in Nature" anymore." "It's two serpents in female form intermingling against nature!" "I'll call it..." ""Lesbian August"." "Stop drinking!" "Get up and go home!" "Nikos, go away!" "Come to your senses!" "Go back home and forget about her!" "She'll pay for what she did to me!" "Angeliki is devastated." "You'll ruin your home for a shameless girl?" "Shut it!" "No." "This time you'll listen to me." "You've become a city girl's dog!" "Have you no shame?" "Isn't blood running in your veins?" "You abandoned Angeliki and your home for a whore!" "What did you say?" "Don't put her in your dirty mouth!" "You hear?" "I'm telling you to go back!" "Bored?" "No." "It's just this silly book!" "And It's just like you do not exist with all that painting of yours." "This should please you." "You'd rather not have me here, right Elena?" "I don't understand." "What do you mean?" "But you do, pretty well." "Enough of this filthy comedy." "What Is this all of a sudden?" "What comedy are you talking about?" "Perhaps I should say tragedy?" "It's not that, either." "It's sheer filth!" "Filth, nothing but filth!" "Christina's leaving tomorrow." "It's you who should be leaving in fact." "But let's just keep up appearances." "You'll never see her again anyway." "I'm sending her to England, anywhere." "Away from you and your disgusting influence." "As for us two..." "You understand that after this, nothing goes between us." "You're funny!" "You imagined that me and Christina..." "Not imagined." "I saw with my own eyes." "You saw?" "What did you see?" "What'll haunt me as a nightmare all my life." "And will poison from now on all my days." ""Iv nights." "My art itself." "The woman I love..." "My daughter..." "It's horrible." "Horrible..." "You're overstating things, Alexis." "I swear that nothing happened." " How could It?" " Leave me!" "Don't touch me!" "How could you?" "How could you?" "With my own daughter, In my own house, right on my face!" "Me?" "You never considered me?" "As a husband?" "As a father, as a man?" "So what would you prefer?" "That your daughter laid with every single bum?" "At least I..." "I gave her a bit of tenderness." "Offered her affection." "What you're incapable of offering her." "Absorbed completely In these ridiculous paintings of yours." "What did you say?" "Let me go!" "Don't!" "Kostas!" "How long will this last?" "Isn't the fire in you out yet?" "Why cover your face?" "You cannot understand the battle in here." "Only the devil can." "I can't touch you any more." "You're my wife." "I don't want to sully you." "These people are utterly filthy." "It's too late for all of us now." "Anathema to her setting foot on this island." "You'll let your home go to waste on her behalf?" "Are you not a man?" "Have you no shame or honor in you?" "As a woman you can't understand." "You can't admit she doesn't want you any more, can you?" "Isn't it so?" "You can't take It In that It was just for once and done with..." "You counted on having her until you're satiated." "Now It's hurting you that she's sated of you once and for all." " Stop it!" "She told me herself, mind you!" "What did she?" "Where did you see her?" "I went to her asking for you." "Swallowed my pride." "Hardened my heart and I went." "You have the wrong door, she says." "Your man's not here." "I have no use for your man." "I don't usually lay with fishermen." "Whore!" "Whore!" "You're here, slut!" "You don't lay with fishermen, right?" "They stink, do they?" "Come here, slut!" "I had you warned." "I won't be responsible for what happens now." "Slut!" "He kept beating me." "He almost killed me!" "We'll think of something." "He's mad." "Beat me like a maniac." " You should have screamed." " And let father know?" "Isn't our issue enough for him?" "Father, he's all you ever worry about." "Don't you think of me?" "What'll I do If he sends you to Switzerland?" "He's been so kind to me." "A shock like that!" "He'd be better off dead." "Come..." "Stop doing this." "Calm down." "We'll see what happens." "You'd promised me we'd have nothing to fear him for." "Hush." "You'll see." "I'll keep my promise." "He won't know anything." "Leave it to me." "What do you want?" "Sir Alexis, the painter." "I've a message for him." "He's gone." "You want the ladies?" "No, I want him." "You woke up too late." "He left an hour ago." "Carrying all his stuff with him." "See, one makes a living with a brush that big and another with a tiny one!" "Not writing but smudging!" "Where did he head for?" "When not armed he goes up to the village." "Armed he surely heads towards the cove." "Thanks." "Dimwit..." "Sir Alexis!" "Sir Alexis!" "GREEK CONSTABULARY OF AEGEAN ISLANDS" "Elena, tell me the truth." "You did it." "It wasn't father's fault." "As you told them he'd taken this medicine long enough." "He always put some cordial In the water he took with him." "Looks like he mistakenly put the adrenaline in the thermos." "You killed him." "You wanted to do It for some time now." "For his fortune, for me!" "Stop it, now." "It's done." "We're both guilty for it." "Free, too." "My condolences, madam." " Thanks." " Sir Alexis was a good man." "At least he'll stay on his beloved island forever." "Let's go." "You're right." "I want to speak to you, Christina." "Get out of our way." "You have no respect for our mourning." "I said I want to speak to you." "And this time you'll hear me." "What is it again?" "Come to the cove tonight." "Alone." "Without her." "I have something to show you." "I don't care." "Whatever that is." "Yes, you care." "Come and see it before others do." "She knows what I'm saying." "It's relevant to your father." "I'll be expecting you." "Nikos!" "I must speak to you." "I found SirAlexis killed." "I know the murderess." "Are you sure?" " Don't blame an Innocent woman." " It's as if I saw it happen." "No doubts." " Then go to the police." " No." "Now she's in my grasp." "First I deal with her." "Then the police takes over." "What will you do?" "The man is dead and you..." "I'll humiliate her." "She'll be on her knees begging me." "Now it's my turn." "Come to your senses, Kostas." "Are you looking for trouble?" "If you're that sure, let's go to the police now." "No." "Not a word to anyone or you're in trouble." "She wounded me where a man hurts the most." "See what I mean?" "Now it's my turn for revenge." "So, it's the cove again tonight." "Seen my brother?" "He took the boat and headed for the cove." " Alone?" " Yes, alone." "Kostaaasl" "Not now, Elena." "Don't do this." "I said not now." "Sluts!" "Where's my brother?" "What have you done to him?" "I..." "What do you want here?" "Leave at once!" "Where is he?" "Where's my brother?" "I don't know." "Don't answer him." "I said leave at once!" "You!" "You had a date with him at the cove." "He told me himself." "What have you done to him?" "I didn't go!" "And what is this?" "I found it at the cove." "She didn't go she said." "Go ask about him elsewhere." "Say, where's Kostas?" "Where's Kostas?" "What happened there at the cove?" "What happened there at the cove?" "Say it." "Say it now!" "Speak or I'll slaughter you like a goat!" "To the stairs!" "This way!" "Stop!" "Everybody out, quick!" "He's rambling... . he's mad!" "Hold it!" "Where did you find the dagger?" "I told you, Captain." "At the cove." " Why did you go there?" " To find my brother." "I knew he was meeting her." " How did you know?" " He told me himself." "Kostas knew what the painter died of." "He was keeping something that would send these two to prison." "That's why they did him in." "I must speak to you." "I found Sir Alexis killed." "I know the murderess." "Are you sure?" " Don't blame an Innocent woman." " It's as if I saw it happen." "No doubts." "That's what happened." "You're accusing 2 women of murdering their man and your brother." "Don't ask me." "Ask them instead." "Please, Sir." "Do we have to listen to this tramp's nonsense?" "I demand that this conversation ends now." "Calm down, madam." "We'll get somewhere finally." "Had this man's brother actually asked you to meet him at the cove?" "Yes." " I mean..." " He was stalking her." "But this doesn't mean she'd date him." "Of all things!" "Let her speak for herself." "Why let her?" "Don't you see?" "This brute is terrorizing her." "Go on." "I know nothing." "I didn't go to the cove." "I don't know what he's talking about." "Leave me alone!" "You didn't go with him, eh?" "You didn't screw around with him at the cove, eh?" "Your tricks drove the man away from his wife and his home!" "Stop him!" "He's delirious!" "I won't stand for this!" "Were my husband here..." "You took care of him too, when he found out what creeps you two are." "That's what my brother was about to tell him." "He'd seen you together." "But he arrived too late." "Now hold it!" "You're going too fast." "How did your brother know that the painter" "I mean the lady's husband, didn't simply die but was murdered instead?" "He discovered something by the painter's body at the cove." "He told me:" "Now they're in my grasp!" "Why didn't he go to the police?" "Because he wanted to humiliate this one!" "She offended him." "He said he'd make her beg on her knees." "Isn't it clear enough already, Captain?" "What is?" "The motive of this whole stupid story." "Christina rejected his brother's indecent proposals so now they are using slander." "Then where's Kostas?" "I found this dagger at the cove." "I knew they had a date." "If you lost your brother, why not ask your sister-in-law where he is?" "My sister-in-law?" "Angeliki?" "How's she involved?" "She'll tell you how." "Why don't you tell Captain what the fisherman's wife told you at the hotel?" "Come on, then." "Yes..." "She came and found me at the hotel." "Listen carefully to what I'll say!" "The spell you cast on him..." "Only blood can break it now!" "ls It a threat?" "Leave me alone!" "You hear me?" "Only blood..." "His..." "Or yours!" "Bring her in!" "I'm only telling you this..." "Hold back your brother, or I may do anything!" "You understand why we brought you here." "Is It true you threatened the young lady?" "You told her you'd break your husband's spell with blood, didn't you?" "I only meant to scare her." "Have you seen this dagger before?" "Answer!" "Last night you were at the cove with Kostas, weren't you?" "I didn't leave the house." "I haven't seen my husband for two days." "Then you were looking for him." "And when you found him..." "Is that how it was?" "My husband!" "What have you done to him?" "That's what we're trying to find out." "You'll tell us." "Where did you hide his body?" "Why did you kill him?" "My husband!" "My husband!" "My husband!" "What you really should do ls mind your own home and business." "That's what I'm doing." "Minding my own home and husband." "These things I want to protect from that shameless one!" "Kostas!" "What happened?" "Can you speak?" "Then tell us." "What happened?" "Who stabbed you?" "At the cove..." "Last night..." "Here's the secret." "Look at it!" "Take a good look!" "Didn't I tell you so?" "How amusing a story!" "Pulp fiction indeed!" "He didn't tell us one thing though." "Who was it that killed my husband?" "You did!" "Me?" "How then?" "Even if we accept this as a fact how can you prove it?" "Through some new fiction story like the previous one?" "The painting..." "Bring the painting." "It tells the whole story." "ELENA ADRENAL" "Elena Adrenal?" "What does it mean?" "Adrenaline." "His medicine." "She put in an overdose for him."
