"I'll keep this one for this year." "I have a little money." "Still worried about the house?" "Nothing can save me anymore." "Nothing can't keep him." "He's going to throw me out and I won't even realize it." "Farewell, nice coat." "Have a happy new year." "Are you going anywhere tonight?" "No." "I got used to being on my own." "Furthermore, I like snuggling." "Best wishes, Mr. Thomas." "I hope God gives to the people." "The big ones should change their minds so that people will be peaceful." "The American hydrogen, the Russian oxygen." "The American uranium, the Russian cotronium" "To keep peace, they say." "As for the poor Greek..." "There's a big fuss about that Dragon outside." "Things are not going well." "Please, sit." "The kid!" "His picture revealed." "There he is." "Good morning." "Happy New Year." "I wish you happiness for the new year." " I brought a toy for..." " Thanks, she has all the toys she needs." "What's the problem?" "I was just thinking, maybe she'd like it." "Goodbye." " He doesn't resemble him that much." " He sure does." "Let him celebrate the new year." "He doesn't look that bad." "Shut up!" "And he's renting the room so cheaply." "Moratorium of rents and other nonsense." "I'll throw him out without him realizing." "They arrested Vourdoupas because he was beating Trianafillidis." "He was right!" "He was his lodger!" "Don't open to anyone." "Are you listening to me?" "I'll be back in five minutes." "And you shut your mouth." "Dragon..." "For the blind" " If we bump into him?" " Shoot him if necessary!" "Shoot him?" "They think it's that simple?" " Just take the gun and shoot." "Damn it." " You think they'll shoot?" "It could be worse." "They could throw grenades." " Grenades?" " The people have gone wild, mister." "The wars have spoilt the people." "They can shoot for no reason." "You go out of your house trembling with fear." "You got upset." " They may do a mistake." " Let's go upstairs before we meet s stray bullet." " You think so?" "I do." " And how could you prove it if they arrest you?" "The other day, they arrested a cousin of mine, fireman." "He was concealing a pipe." " Pipe?" " Will you believe him, baby?" "He's still inside." "And another cousin of mine, for some damn watches." " Are they after you?" " Why?" "Talk, don't be afraid." "You're lucky to have come across Carmen." "Wait a minute, I'm gonna check inside." "What are you doing here?" "Waiting for Miss Carmen." "Maybe I should go?" "We dress and undress in here." "She said she'd be right back." " You 're back?" " I am." " Where have you been the whole afternoon?" " At the hotel." "That's a lie." " I asked and found out." " I was there." "You weren't." "Didn't I tell you to stay put?" "I'll have you mopping the floor again." "I was at the hotel, at the hotel, at the hotel!" "Who are you?" "I'm waiting for miss Carmen." " In here, man?" " That's where she told me." "Move it, dress quickly." "You shouldn't cry, it's New years's Eve." " Why was he scolding you?" "Who was that?" " The boss." "And why should he care about what you were doing in the afternoon?" "He says he's afraid I might be sleeping with men." "Why should you?" " He must be joking." " Yeah, right." "He has all of them watching me." "But this afternoon I ran away and looked at all the shop windows." "You did the right thing." "And I'll do the same tomorrow." "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go!" "Let him do whatever he wants." "And tomorrow, and every day I'll be running away." " Are you a friend of Carmen?" " An acquaintance." " What's your name?" " Thomas." "My name's Roula." "But everybody calls me Baby." "You work here?" "Yes, I dance." "You?" "Bank clerk." "Do you like this game?" " You can keep it, if you want to." " Keep it?" " Now, what's that?" " The gentleman gave it to me." "What could I do with it?" "Come on, let's go inside." "Thank you very much." "Goodbye." "Come here." "Sit quietly, and we'll see what comes next." " Do you like it here?" " Where are we?" "Sit down and don't worry." "If someone hurts you, tell me." " I won't allow it!" " OK, OK." "Take off your coat because it's hot in here." "Give me a cookie." " Tell me, are you out of your mind?" " Why?" " You want a murder to happen?" " Me?" "What kind of face is that you brought here?" "The Big Job is almost ready, and you're bringing stool pigeons in here?" "Alright, give me the cookie." "Charge me." " Here." " One can breathe in here." " Take your cookie and get out of here." " Again?" "For your own sake." "But please!" "After all, I like it in here." "Waiter!" "Get me glasses." "And now, the Peace Orchestra will play for our great American friends a greek Bookie-Hookie." "There, with Carmen." "Pafsanias mention that wasn't damaged at all." "I think I know him." "Describing monuments..." " Good evening." " Good evening." "Are you being served?" "No." "Let me take care of you." "No, thanks." "I'm fine." "Catalogue?" "Anyway." "I'm gonna kill you!" "I won't let you destroy me!" "She's ready." "It's almost 23.30 and they're not yet out!" "And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, the famous Spanish dancer..." "Carmen Del Sierra Nevada." " Baby." " Almost done." "I want to say, don't..." " Don't get mad at me!" " I don't give a damn." " But I'm tired of you watching me." " I don't won't you to get hurt." "Are you forgetting that I brought you up?" "So since I'm grown up, pay me and don't keep me as a slave." "Listen, Baby." "Anytime soon the Big Job will be done, so the two of us will be able..." "I don't want to." " I'll take good care of you." " I don't want anything from you!" "Fine, Baby." "I'm leaving!" "Come on, smile a little." "Well done, Carmen." "You're keeping my place together." "Did the fat one start the same?" "Don't worry, I'm here." "He's not for you." " I'll get another job and leave this place." " Sure you will." "Now, listen." "That poor guy I brought" "I had him sit outside." "Talk to him once in a while until I am back." " The fat one doesn't like him." " Why?" "He doesn't like anyone." "Are you going?" "Yes..." "I've arranged with a cousin of mine." "Isn't he likeable?" "Quite a sweet fella, but a little mysterious." "Why?" "Who knows..." "People have many problems." "Wasn't that Spanish one Carmen?" "Tell me now, where have the two of us met before?" "You are wrong." " Did a small mistake scare you?" " I'm going." "Take it easy." "I want the two of us to make a deal." " Can't we do this?" " Why should we?" "You're such a coward." "Make up your mind and talk clearly." " Either the two of us agree or..." " Or?" "You'll upset me." "Fine?" "You are a smart man." "Now make yourself at home." "See you later." " He is." " Definitely?" "Yes, but he's clever." " Is that so?" " Clever." "He can be bribed." "Buy him a bootle of Cognac for the time being." "Alright." "How is the river called?" "Ilissos..." "Ilissos." "Let me tell you my little secret..." "I love you..." "I love you." "The babies are calling for their mothers" "But I am all alone" "The birds are flying using their wings" "But I am flying with the dance" " Leave as soon as possible." " Why did they catch him?" "Forget about him." "Try to get away from the boss." " I didn't hurt him." " You won't have time to explain." "Go the back way." "Too late now." "Happy New Year!" "Best wishes!" "On your knees!" "On your knees, I said!" "Now, talk!" "The Dragon!" "Easy." "Two on the front door two on the back door." "You, take care of the customers." "I apologize." "I didn't mean to hurt you." "Let's go downstairs." "Welcome to this place..." "And happy new year." "You too." "Make way." "Your razor." " Take it easy." " Sit down, please." " Your little coat." " What will you do with it?" " Let me hang it." " Here, close." " Get us something to drink!" " Cognac, cognac." "Of course." "Cognac!" "What shall we play for you?" "Something fast?" " Something heavy?" " Have all the girls dance for him." "Yes..." "Have them dance." "I'm sorry for that incident." "I had misunderstood you." "As a matter of fact, however..." "You look a bit like a stool pigeon." "Watch..." "Drink up." " May I?" " Delightfully." " I'm glad you hit the boss." " He drove me to extremities." "You don't look so terrible though." "I don't, do I?" "But what a life you're leading..." "All time in anxiety." " You have messed up Athens, they say." " The papers are exaggerating a bit." "Yeah, right." "Don't they know?" "They don't miss a thing." "Don't you remember with that doctor?" "Don't believe them." "The press goes with the tide, exploiting our weakneses." "The other day they were mentioning that with the money that were stolen from the coastal navigation you endowed 12 orphan girls." "But you can kill for no reason too, right?" " Wrong." "I'm innocent." " You're bloodthirsty, right?" " Just rumours, I tell you." " It fascinates you, right?" "Maybe it's because of the drinking." "Could be." "I bet that if you didn't drink, you'd be a different man." "I said, could be." "You should have someone to take care of you." " The boss is expecting you." " Me?" "Where?" " I'll show you the way." " Where are you taking the gentleman?" " To the council." " Don't be late." "Don't worry, I'll be back." " Baby is an angel, right?" " A wild flower." " She sings and daisies grow on your heart." " Like a primrose, right?" "She wouldn't have to set foot on earth, if she wanted." " Industrialists would do everything for her." " She doesn't want them?" "She's got everything in here." "The boss is taking great care of her." "Don't upset the guys." "There's our flag;" "The Dragon." "...reminds that the liberty of the press is a privilege of free regimes." "Who hide behind the legendary Dragon?" "We hope the mystery will soon be unveiled that legend has as a mixture of a popular hero and a cruel criminal but anyway, this is the fact:" "looking at the hall of fame of the great criminals many times we'll come across the strange occurence of the folk sympathy towards the criminals, especially sex criminals a sympathy that usually follows them till the gallows and it's not a rare occurence, in Greece as well as in the West" "making legendary thieves and criminals for whom death is the minimum penalty." "The kids agreed to my plan and we want you to guide us." " Archaelogist?" " Over here." "The Temple of Olympian Zeus?" "Right." "Zappeio." "Opposite from the gas station." " An immortal monument." " Talk about History." "This temple, named Olympion..." "Come again?" "Olympion!" "Peisistratos began building it." "He intended to build a grand temple." "But he left it at the foundation." "Great people, those Ancient ones!" "Civilization!" "180 meters length." "41 meters width." "Namely, there were 20 columns at length and 8 at width." "That is 56 columns in total." "The clever ones got them." "You mean..." "Definitely." "We Greeks, are not for stuff like that." "Don't you see her?" "She's going to waste." "An American is interested." "In what way?" "He came he saw it, he liked it... he took it." " What will he do with it?" " How could I know?" "He's American." "Betweens us, it's to his advantage." "Does the American ever disappoint?" " Yes, but we..." " We what?" "As Greeks." "Who cares..." "We're so obliged to America." "It means we'll give them our columns?" "What else?" "What we have... is what we give them." " Yes, but..." " Forget it." "We have considered it." "So... with the help of Holy Mary" "the job could take place tomorrow night." "Let's finish this." "We've been..." "We were lacking a strong leadership." "But you are born to lead." " Come, sit down." " Here, leader." "But, I'm not..." "They're expecting me." "Accept it." "After all, why work alone?" "It's time for you to have company." "To take the place you deserve." "To settle down, brother." "The guys wanted to push you." "Push me?" "Push you." "The Job is good." "If the American is satisfied, he'll order more." "So this will be the beginning." "We just want your reputation." " A name like yours will elevate us." " The Dragon." " It means a lot." " Tomorrow night, you said?" " Tomorrow." " It's over for today." "It is over." "Thank you." "Be confident that we don't forget easily." " Did I scare you?" " I was just surprised." "It's only reasonable." "You have so many enemies." "Me, enemies?" "Of course..." "One can't know what might happen to him." " Why don't we go?" " And what will he think?" "Tha fat one?" "I don't care." " But he said..." " If you prefer to stay here..." "I'm going." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "Listen..." " What did you say your name was?" " Thomas." "Do you have a cigar?" "I don't smoke." "Will you let me smoke alone in the road?" "Of course not." "I ran from the bar and now they'll be looking for me." "But I owed it ot them." "I got fed up in there." "I wouldn't mind if it got blown to pieces." "Out, I said!" "Out!" "Please, the boss says." "Out I said!" "And now, the boss requests you to kindly buzz off." "Shut up!" "Lock up." "Play." "Something touching." " They left together." " Nontas saw them." "He took her from me!" "And I had her in silk and velvet." "Our Baby's gone, Spathis." "I said touching." "She'll be back, Boss." "Such a flower..." "Bringing her up since she was little." "Dressing her up." "Jewelling her." "And he takes her from me?" "Talk to the Dragon." "If it wasn't him..." "I'd crush him." "Damn it, Spathis!" "I went in there and I saw just the little dress and her little shoes." "What are we drinking?" "Fire!" "Where is our Baby now?" "Where you here when Peiraus was bombed?" "No, I was in Syros." "You should see what happened here when bombs started to fall." " Near your house?" " Sure." "So many bombs on a small house." "Nothing was left." " What about your parents?" " They didn't let me see them." " Are yours alive?" " They are." "Then my cousin took me and we were stealing goods from the enemy." "They caught us though, and god knows how we survived." " Were you in danger during the occupation?" " No." "Then, during the last winter of the occupation I almost died of peripneumony." "Have you ever suffered from peripneumony?" "Unfortunately not." "Carmen visited me at the hospital." "Once I was healed, she put me in the boss's house." "After I grew up a little the boss said that my hands weren't for detergents ...and had me learn how to dance." " Now what?" "I want to go." "I hate them all." "I love only Carmen." "You've been through so many..." "And you're just a little girl." "Here we are." " You live here?" " Yes." "Next to Carmen's room." " Nice yard." " No." "40 people live around." "It's not the same as having a house with your own yard." "You don't know what loneliness means." "It doesn't matter that forty people live here." "Something might happen to you." "Someone will help you." "I just want some peace." "To learn typing, work like a human being." "To sleep in the night and wake up in the morning." "I haven't seen the sun for a month." "I always sleep in the morning." "You're happy though." "Carmen loves you." "The fat one loves you." "Spathis loves you." "Everyone loves you." "One mustn't live alone like a log." "He doesn't feel feasts, Sundays or New Year's Days." "He's left aside and buries himself alone." "You have a good job." "You fight all your life, thinking you've achieved something and then... an eye-opening event takes place." "The worlds turns upside down" "What have you been doing all this time?" "Why were you for forty years dismal, a bugger..." "Alone." "You are the world's sweetest man." "Won't you come tomorrow at the bar?" "I don't know." "I'll be waiting for you." "Welcome." "The gentleman was kind enough to accompany me." "Goodnight to you." "What was that?" " Dodgy..." " Huh?" "Fine..." "Let's go upstairs." "I've noticed that when I leave the bar, something will happen." "When the guys told me, I laughed my head off." "Why?" "The Baby is getting spoilt with us but someday, I'll take her away and have her settle down." "Are you listening to me?" "I hope so." "She deserves a better life." "It's all up to you now." "To me?" "The shipping you've arranged." "Right..." "The antiquities." "We all have invested in this job." "Lots of people are counting on this column." "We'll hang your picture on the walls." " It will be good for Baby too." " Right." "People are full of trouble." "You live in a different society, a big one." "They say you have people inside the government." "But the populace is suffering, the girls are getting older." "The port doesn't pay as it used to." "Many were desperate and started "working"." "Unfortunately, it's not a good time for young people." "That's right." "Concerning Baby... please leave her alone." "You don't belong here." "You're an old bird." "Should you need something, I am here." "Don't worry about me." "I knew you had a golden heart." " I should be going." " Don't you want to sleep here?" " No" " You shouldn't be alone." "Nevermind." "I'm used to it." "Well, that journalist was right." " What did he say?" " That all you criminals are sad people." "Probably." "Excuse me, I should be going." "Best wishes." "Of course, yes..." "New Year's Day is coming." "Attend to the Job." "We are all counting on you." "What did Carmen say?" "She really loves you." "Are you leaving?" "Yes." "It's beggining to dawn." "But this is not a proper life." "All this anxiety." "Why couldn't you be like all the other people?" "To be totally unknown nobody paying attention to you, to live peacefully." "You could do something else ...and still be important." " Why do I have to be important?" "People are always admiring big names." "The Dragon, then." "Why not?" "Better than nothing." "My Aristos!" "The Police!" "It was Aristos's wife." " Not that way!" " Where?" "Down the light tube." "Quickly!" "Good luck." "Come on, game's up." "It's like this." "All things have an end." "Excuse us..." "It's the duty." "Aristos!" "My kid!" "Where are they taking you to?" "Let me go!" "His coat..." "He didn't take his coat!" "Take his coat!" "Please, take his coat!" "Shut up!" "Speak in detail." "He went peacefully, eyes looking only straight ahead." "His forehead was shining, as if he didn't mind." "He went down the stairs, looked at the sky for a second went through the yard as if he was going to a fete and then he disappeared." "200 vehicles took him from us." "God help us!" "Hang in there!" "We'll proceed as planned." "What we need is a big name." "And not even the grave can wipe out a big name!" "Listen carefully." "The Dragon wasn't captured." "He can't be captured." "And he will never be captured." "You had a cosmetic surgery?" "Did you go to a beauty institute?" "Are you a woman?" "A mermaid drawing and a scar on the arm." "Nothing, Sir." "Let him go!" "He hasn't hurt a fly." "You escaped?" "You did!" "Everybod said, "Don't worry, he'll break out." "It's not safe here." "Aristos is still in jail." "We'll leave right away." " I heard you." " When?" "Screaming about the coat." "At that time, even if they killed me..." "I would thank them." "Let's hurry." "I'll leave a note for Carmen." "Still not here." "Sign these papers, too." "A lot of expenses, a lot!" "What if they don't find him?" "The job will be done." "The guys don't know that the police released him." "They think that he bravely broke out." "He'll be taken care of, too." "And what should we tell them if they don't find him?" "That he is watching the transportation from Panagiotides' terrace." "What about the energy company?" "Yoy sent for me?" "Carmen." "See that the girls are dolled up tonight." "You do realize, Carmen... the guys should enjoy themselves tonight." " Tomorrow never comes." " Don't say this!" "Where is my Baby, Carmen?" "Where is my Baby, Carmen?" "I've told you before..." "What?" "Don't let personal issues get in the way." "Think about everyone's interest." "Last day of the year." "Aren't you worried with all these people around?" "I don't care about anything today." "Imagine that I am... a bank clerk." " Would you like that?" " Indeed I would." "I've been thinking about this the whole night." "If you could change..." "Change?" " I should shave." " You're just fine." "No, I want to." "I like you this way." "We must be crazy, standing like this in the middle of the road." "It's as if nobody knows me anymore." "I was born again today." "New Year's Day song" "Shall I, sir?" " Did we wish to each other?" " No." " Let's say it, then." "Happy New Year." " Happy New Year." " Peacefully." " And just bread." " Do you believe it?" " I do." "Do you?" "You look different during daytime." "You are more tranquil today." " Last night was awful." " The other shoe." "It'll be different today." "Do you want to go dancing tonight?" " I can't dance." " But last night you did." " Out of a need." " I'm gonna teach you." "Deal?" "Deal." "Take them and kiss." "What happened?" "It's OK." "All the lights around the antiquities will go off." "The energy company agreed." "Great." "We have nice kids in there." "As I learnt that they caught you" "I was really worried." "I knew that you wouldn't abandon us." "I told the kids: "Move on and he's gonna be there for us"." "Everything is set." "How are you?" " Where is she?" " Don't worry, she'll come." "I was worried so I sent for you." "The kids are getting ready for tonight." "We always celeberate before a job." "Just to say goodbye to our life." "Are you writing to your mother, Babis?" "Indeed, boss." "She's a saint." "Give her my regards." "I kiss her hand." "You caught a cold, eh?" "You didn't think about abandoning us?" "You must be joking." "That's it!" "We are your family here." "We are all lone wolves." "Ever man needs someone similar." " Right?" " Unfortunately." "Quiet for a minute, guys." "Just a minute." "Shut up, damn you!" "Fellows... compatriots my brothers." "The powerful fate wanted this night to be slightly adventurous." "I won't withhold the fact some mothers may cry and some widows and orhpans, too." "But that's what destiny wanted who am I to challenge it?" "This is what I had to tell you." "And may I ask the man that God sent to help us to tell you..." "Hurray!" "For some of us, maybe it's the first time for such an assignment." "But nobody knows what tomorrow brings." "The one who knows how to live must know how to die, too!" "Instead of filling papers in a bank." "Damn the bureaucracy!" "Damn the kingdom!" "Well done." "Inspired words." "Educated." "But I know everything." " Why did you tell me that you were tha Dragon?" " You said so!" "And why didn't you say later, that we got ot like you?" "It was too late." "Don't look me in the eye, I'm gonna hit you!" "After the police let us go ...why didn't you go home?" " I did." "It was like a grave, so I came back." "What is done cannot be undone." "You don't control yourself anymore." "We are exposed to the guys." "We belong to the whole gang." "Do you see them?" "Admire them." "How can the soil melt such sycamores?" "Isn't it a shame for us Greeks to kill each other?" "Cheers!" "If we could lose no one." "You, for once, don't care about death." "You've been shot so many times will marry." "Good luck." "May Holy Mary be with you." "Hold on, old man." "I'm coming." "We're gonna work together on our fields." "I just need a cab." "A DeSoto." "Only to make a little money." "Nothing more." "The best for the guys." "My life changes tonight." "I have an ill little brother." "At Sotiria hospital." "I pray for this job to succeed." "Tomorrow we have to pay the doctor." "What's my life, mother?" "Just some chicken-shit in the world." "Cry!" "Do you want to cut Baby in half so we both take half?" "She's yours." "Mine?" "Yours." "Let's cry, brother." "My heart is so heavy tonight." "Damn luck!" " Damn life!" " Messing with our pain!" "Don't!" "Forgive us." "We didn't mean it." "The kids are not mean." "It was the bad moment." "Shall I call a cab to get you to a doctor?" "I'll take care of you like a mother." "I swear to God, they didn't mean it." "But you asked for it, damn you." "Why did you meddle in this?" "You saw what twats we were." "Let me call a cab." "It'll be a huge burden for me if you die." "I can't see you dead in New Year's Day." "We are not evil, sometimes we just overdo it." "Let me get you to a doctor." "Thank you." "Leave me alone." "All my life I've been avoiding the fuss." "Forgive us, please." "Forgive us." "So that you will rest in peace as well." " What are you thinking?" " Nothing." "He had it coming." "He may be in peace now, could anybody know?" "No." "Subtitles by panchamp -corrected dec.2010"
