"I worked in the tobacco fields." "If the tobacco leaves have the color of quince wine... that's a good crop." "You should know that." "A guy who sold sheets and nighties in the villages... brought me down to Athens." "Everything else is just details." "You could say I came down to seek my fortune." "I like it that you don't say much." "It means you know how to listen." "Maybe one day I'll tell you the story of my life... but now I'm in a hurry." "With a guitar like Che Guevara..." "And shoes with wingtips..." "My coat..." "from my village..." "I took off one rainy night." "I felt a sadness for the emptiness..." "That's how the rain found me..." "And through the pane, a blurry mane... the city promising me something for something..." "I disappeared..." "Down a road I always took... I disappeared..." "Since everything is in flux..." "I disappeared..." "In two eyes that promised me forever..." "I disappeared..." "call it:" "delivery!" "lock up and bolt the door." "You're a regular Peeping Tom, aren't you?" "like my tits?"

"You're moving like a tortoise!" "Where did you pick up the Eskimo, man?" "You went to the North Pole for ice cubes?" "Once you'd hear people saying:" "I'm hungry." "You'd hear that all the time." "Now they say:" "I'm bored." "Anywhere you look that's what you hear." "You tell me when were they happier?" "What d'you think?" "If I wasn't getting ready to die I'd say: never." "Vesuvius." "But since any time now I'll be history, I say: then." "Everyone's got troubles." "So what does he want?" "That I should say I'm sorry I exist?" "He's bled me dry!" "He's made me sick of love." "Just the sight of couples kissing..." "makes me want to throw up!" "Pal!" "Want a watch dirt cheap?" "Fuck off!" "God is God." "That's my explanation." "Not talking is all he knows." "Who?" "God?" "Who else?" "Me?" "Did they all leave?" "You don't know how to dance?" "What?" "Dancing." "You don't know how to dance?" "Dance?" "You dropped out of the sky or what?" "You really don't look like Superman." "Know who you look like?" "Gagarin!" "You've got an enormous dick!" "It's dead." "It's not dead. lt's sleeping." "Since it's not moving, it's dead." "If it's dead then how come it's moving its ears?" "It's moving its ears because the flies bother it." "It's moving its ears because it's bored... not moving all this time." "If it's bored why doesn't it leave?" "Well it doesn't leave because it's dead." "After fucking, I get this sad feeling." "How about you?" "I'll give myself a shot and I'll feel better." "What shot?" "A shot the doctor prescribed." "What's this?" "What's this?" "I don't want women in my house." "I pay for house." "I don't care. I don't want women in my house." "If you don't like it, get out."

"People who have kids and then abandon them to their fate..." "bother me." "Crap." "What crap?" "What you're saying is crap." "In the final analysis you don't want kids." "No one knows why they bring kids into this world." "You either have kids or you don't." "Those who sit and analyze and talk about it... are wasting their time." "That's life!" "Having kids." "That's your life you mean." "That's life generally." "Your life isn't life generally." "Beat it." "I said beat it." "Scram!" "Fuck your Albania, fuck your Russia, fuck your Pakistan." "I said beat it, motherfucker!" "This area is off limits." "Hey geek." "I'm dying." "About death itself I've nothing to tell you." "About the dead, ask me anything you like."

"No he doesn't, man, 'cos he is already." "What did he want?" "To push pills." "Who pushes pills to you?" "Know who I got high with the first time?" "With the pill pusher." "With a monk." "He popped pills like they were chick-peas." "He left the Holy Mountain, shaved his beard and his head.." "and roamed around Omonia Square all day screaming:" "God split!" "And who pushed pills to the monk?" "Boy are you a dimwit!" "It was God." "OK?" "Ali, Hussein, Ibrahim, Mohammed, Suleiman..." "Ali, Hussein, Ibrahim, Karim, Mohammed, Suleiman..." "That's what they do." "When it's time for prayer... no matter where they are they pray." "What prayer, man?" "Haven't you see him outside movie theaters?"
