"Go, Vassilis!" "Vassilis is out of gas!" "Guys, what about my ball?" "Have they taken it?" "Who has?" "There!" "Oh!" "Let me see..." " You mean, they really took it?" " Can't you see?" "That's impossible!" "Well, I want my ball!" "You, pirate!" "I want my ball!" " But what are they saying?" " They are not giving it to us." "Unbelievable!" "What's the meaning of this?" "I'll show them now!" "Hey, pirate!" "Give me my ball, or I'll call the police!" "If you find a policeman in bathing suit, send him over!" "We say jokes like this to make ice when the fridge is broken!" "It seems to me that your fridge is broken again!" "To hell with you!" "Well, he went looking for it!" "Don't tell me he didn't!" "Guys, what's going to happen to my ball?" "They are just kidding." "We know them." " Lakis, Lela..." " Paul..." " Do they live here, in Poros?" " They've come for the weekend." " How come I don't know them?" " You haven't been here too long." "You are right." "What about that... funny lad?" " The one who was kidding around." " A friend of Lakis's probably." "I'm going to get my ball." " She is going to make a fuss." " Nobody can stop her now." "She is such a strange girl..." "Hey, you on the yacht!" "We have sent a torpedo against you!" "We've seen it and we are ready for it!" "It's no big deal for us!" "This is going to be very funny." "Get me a newspaper at once." "Didn't she call me a pirate?" "Now you'll see!" "Get ready to sail off." "She is getting closer." "This is going to be so funny." "Our torpedo reached its target." "Let's wait for it to explode." "Where is that funny guy, if you please?" "This way, miss." "What's going on?" "is it Halloween already?" "My beautiful lady, as you correctly noticed right away... this is a pirate ship." "Really?" "Don't tell me..." "Yes, but don't worry." "Your life is not in any kind of danger." "Yours is, on the other hand." "I'm sorry, but I am inclined to inform you... that I shall hold you prisoner until the ransom has been paid." "You, from the boat!" "The girl is our prisoner!" "You'll take her back only if you give us 20 bottles of beer!" "Mister Chief Pirate, the ransom has been paid." "It is only appropriate now that you let her go." "There you are, miss..." "I am setting you free." "I am not doing the same for you." "We'll see after this song." "Hurrah!" "As you see, the situation is reversed. I am the prisoner now." "And don't anyone pay for ransom because I'll be very mad at him." "Go and tell them that we are here." " Guys, are you staying here?" " No, we're leaving on the yacht." "What about you?" "Hey, mister!" "We are here." " And who are you?" " The donkeys." "So, you are the donkeys?" "And I thought..." "Guys, sail off!" "Which one was I riding?" "They are all the same." "Miss, this is your donkey." "If only my life could always be like today... when everything around us is beautiful and peaceful... and there is such a blue and bright... sky!" "If only time could freeze right now... so that this moment could last forever... not allowing for darkness to ever cover us." "Go, my little donkey, go!" "Go with the rest of the donkeys..." "My silly little donkey..." "What is it, little donkey?" "What do you want to run for?" "Only the silly ones run." "Go wherever they want to take you... and let your horseshoes sound on the ground... let them sound... and wherever you go... if you want to live a beautiful life... never think like a human being... let it roll on quietly." "If only my life could always be like today... when everything around us is beautiful and peaceful... and there is such a blue and bright sky!" "If only time could freeze right now... so that this moment could last forever... ." "not allowing for darkness to cover us!" "And not allowing for darkness to cover us!" "If only time could freeze right now... so that this moment could last forever... not allowing for darkness to ever cover us!" "Won't you put me down to stand on my own feet?" " Thank you." " For letting you stand?" "For everything." "Hey, guys, listen up!" "Those who are coming to Piraeus on my yacht had better hurry." " ls there some room for me?" " Sure." " Aren't you coming with us?" " l am, if you want me..." "The yacht is not mine, you know." "Girls, please step down." "We are going to hoist the sails." " Do you mind?" " My pirate..." "May I sit down?" "If you promise that you won't try to steal anything from me." "What if I tell you that I have fears for the opposite?" "That you might steal from me." "Do you have anything worth stealing?" "is it valuable?" "I don't know about that." "It is of great value for me." "If I ever stole something, it should be very valuable." "I won't do with some plastic balls, like some people... not to mention any names..." " We are here." " Nice things don't last long." "If they did, they might not be nice anymore." "is this something you believe, or just a way to argue with me?" "None of the two." "It is something I fear." "Because of a disappointment?" "I've no complains from my life." "I have been lucky up to now..." "To the right!" " Well?" " All right..." "On Saturday." "At 5." "Under the clock." "Ready?" "And you don't even know her name?" " Alice." " Just that?" " Just her first name:" "Alice." " You don't know anything else?" "Nothing." "She was with some kids that my friends knew." "I didn't even know most of them." "It's hard to find out." "If I don't go today..." "Didn't you speak to mister Papavassiliou?" "What did he say?" "lmpossible." "Penalties are meant to be imposed." "The Commander!" "No, sit down!" " ls the Commander still inside?" " l think so." "Wait for me. I am going to ask them to let me see him." "Costas!" "You are late!" " ls that clear?" " Yes, sir." "You can go now." "Come in." " The cadet I told you about." " Show him in." "Degleris!" "Fourth-year cadet, Constantinos Degleris." "All right." "What is it, Degleris?" "Commander, I wouldn't dare disturb you for such a matter." "I am doing it because it is a family emergency." "I can only tell you this, sir." "It might be completely lost." "What might be lost?" "Everything, Commander." "The fact that I was grounded, quite unjustly I might add..." "Well, if it is possible..." "With interest, if I have to." "I could go out today and stay inside the next two weekends." "Or the next three." "What do you say, Commander?" "Could this be possible?" "No." "I said no!" "And no means no!" "is that clear?" "Daddy, why do you treat me like I'm some petty officer?" "Did I ask you for something that difficult?" "Are you nuts?" "You're going to the cinema at 5 in the afternoon?" "Me and the girls agreed to meet a little earlier... to kid around, to have some ice-cream..." "is it so bad?" "Do not say anything more on the matter." "Your aunt and cousins are coming and we are going out together." "What shall we say?" "That Alice went to the movies at 5 p. m. ?" "Never mind the movies." "Can I have an ice-cream and come back?" "You are going nowhere!" "is that clear?" "She is blonde and tanned, like a well-baked bagel." "You'll see her under the clock." "Go to her bravely and say..." ""On behalf of your pirate. " She'll understand." "She will..." "And then, you'll explain to her." " What shall I explain to him?" " What do you think?" "That I wasn't allowed to go out and I'd like him to call me." " During the hours I've written." " And how shall I know him?" "His name is Costas." "He is tall, with brown hair and green eyes." "How shall I speak to a stranger?" "What if it is not him?" "Wait!" "It's the ball I told you about." "If he sees it, he'll know it and will approach you instead." "Go on, it's 10 past 4!" "You are going to be late!" "Go!" " Miss Alice?" " Pardon?" "On behalf of your pirate." "Your pirate..." "Beware of the heat!" "It's bad for you!" " Nothing." " What do you mean?" "She probably didn't come." "Not to mention the embarrassment." "I saw a blonde, just like you said and I walked towards her." ""Miss Alice?" l asked her." "She probably didn't understand." ""On behalf of your pirate", I said to her." "And she said, "The heat is bad for you. "" "lmpossible." "She is not like the girls who don't show up." " She must have come!" " Do you think I am crazy?" "Are you sure there was no girl under the clock?" " Under the clock?" " Wasn't there any girl?" " There was one." " What did she look like?" "No way!" "She can't have been her!" "It was a girl with dark hair holding a..." "How do you call it..." "A... plastic ball." "A ball, you say?" "What kind of ball?" "A plastic ball for playing in the sea." "That was her!" "Costas, she wasn't blonde." "She had dark hair." "Dark hair..." "She must have dyed it." "Women are like that." "Dark hair today and fair tomorrow." "Go figure..." "Costas, she was also plump." " How plump do you mean?" " Quite plump." "She's gained weight." "She grew an appetite and got fatter." "Who are we to tell her not to eat?" "Costas, she was short too." " Short?" "How short?" " Short enough." "Could it be that you stood on the pavement and she did not?" "No, Costas, I'm not stupid." "The girl was short." " How short was she?" " Up to here." " l'm confused now." " Short..." "She may have got fatter, but how could she become shorter?" "How could she?" "Tell me again, how short was she?" "She was up to here, Costas." " lmpossible." " Why is it impossible?" "To say that it was a short cadet with long nose and black eyes... of course it is impossible." "If he had one black eye, I'd say that they had blackened it." "But they were both black." "And then, you say he was short." "No more!" "There it goes now, there goes the dream, I think." "I know she doesn't love me and I'll never find her again." "There it goes now, but how can I say it to you?" "Though she doesn't love me, I love her even more!" "Though she doesn't love me, I love her even more!" "This year's ball is a great success, isn't it?" " Greater than the last year's." " Here comes our Commander." "How are you?" "Good evening." "Takis?" "I've come especially for you, to talk about the old times." "Who is the young lady?" "Don't tell me it's your daughter." " lt is." "Mister Panagakis." " Happy to meet you." "I was happy for you 20 years ago, when you were born." "He is a good old friend." "The pasta we've cooked for him..." " l didn't see her last year." " She was in Switzerland." "She studied there for 3 years." "She only came back a month ago." "Alice!" "Come, it's Spiros." "How are you, Spiros?" "Come now, sit down..." "Go on, young lady." "You'll be bored with us the old men." "Who are you calling old?" "Go on..." "How are you?" "She's a young lady..." "So many years have passed..." "Don't remind me." "Good evening." "is Sophia here too?" "Where is she?" " She's dancing over there." " There she is." "Sophia!" "Sophia..." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Excuse me for a moment." "Excuse me, Jenny." "My pirate..." "And tonight you are really something worth stealing." "What about that Saturday?" "Don't "aha" me!" "You never showed up, Mr. No-good Pirate." "Or was it the other way around?" "Perhaps you never showed up." " Why?" "Did you?" " Did you?" " l'm asking you." "Did you go?" " And I'm asking you." "Did you?" "Let's say I didn't go." "Did you?" "You know something?" "Shall we talk about this while dancing?" "Yes." "Good evening!" " Who is this?" " lt's Chronis." "Hello, Chronis." " Are you wearing glasses?" " lt's some strange eye problem." "Strange things always happen to me. lt's temporary though." "It is very annoying, because I cannot recognize other people." "And I said, "lt couldn't be a short guy with a big nose. "" "My pirate has a pretty nice nose at least." "To give the devil his due now." "I went nuts when he told me about the ball." "But then, dark haired, plump and short?" "There was no way." "Who is that?" "The girl dancing with Degleris." "What?" "Don't you know her?" "She's your Commander's daughter." "What did you say?" "Our Commander's daughter?" "I must warn him." "That she is our Commander's daughter." " Do you think he doesn't know?" " Would he dance like that?" "The Commander is mad at him." "He mustn't see him like that." "I am sorry to interrupt." "Come with me for a moment." "Are you nuts?" "Why should I leave the girl I nearly lost once?" "Someone has asked for you." "You must go to the gate at once." " Go, if it is an emergency." " l'll be right back." "See you in a moment on the stairs." "I hope you come this time." "Don't send any shorty with a long nose again." "Let's go." "Wait, where are we going?" "On a field trip?" " We are okay here." " Don't they need me at the gate?" "Forget about the gate. I must tell you something important." "Why did we have to go so far away?" "Do you know who is the girl you are dancing with like that?" " Of course I know." " And you are not scared?" " Scared of what?" " Tell me, who is she?" "The girl I'd meet at the clock." "If she was just that girl, it would be alright." "She is the Commander's daughter." "The one you were dancing with?" "The cadet?" "Costas Degleris." "Do you know what happened between me and Degleris?" "It was like an old man looking for the glasses he's wearing." " What are you looking for?" " My glasses." "You are wearing them." "Damn..." "I'm starting to believe that I got old." " Do what I'm telling you." " What are you telling me?" " Disappear." " Are you crazy?" "You are the crazy one!" "Do you want to waste your time?" "He's already mad at you." "He went to the gate." "There he is..." "Let me see who he is already!" "Girls, he's coming for me." "Please, go away." "Well, here I am, Mr. Pirate." "Shall we continue our dance... which we left unfinished, like Schubert's symphony?" "Of course we'll continue it." " What about Degleris?" " l'll tell you." "Did you by any chance meet some kind of a voice-taking witch?" " Why do you say that?" " You are not speaking at all." "What should I say?" "You don't have anything to tell me, do you?" "Thank you very much." "Alice!" "Come here, my child." "Good night." "Good night." "Have a good night." "Glad to see you, child." " What's going on?" " They are leaving." "Good night, Commander." "It's been very nice tonight." "The music was good too." "Better and better every year." "Alice!" "Come here, child." "Come on now, we are leaving." "I am amazed at myself!" "How could I be so rude!" "Rude more than anything..." "What will the girl think?" "You'll explain to her some time." "If you're still interested." " You don't understand!" " What should I understand?" "That this girl is..." "That I am going nuts." " Why would you go nuts?" " Because it's like that." "Think about it." "You see me out of a sudden, mister... and you are acting like a man who sees the sea after 10 years." "Had you been a dog, you'd be wagging your tail like crazy." "You were so happy..." "Then, all of sudden, you become speechless and very cold." "Why?" "What have I done to you?" "If I've done you wrong, tell me and I shall apologize to you." "It's really a mystery." "Yes, but I don't care so much about mysteries... so, I'll try to figure it out first thing tomorrow." "Extend, raise and stretch your hands!" "One-two-three-four!" "One-two-three-halt!" "The same!" "Begin!" "One-two-three-four!" "I'm sorry, but this is the procedure." "I understand." "Extending and stretching out the hands along with clapping!" "One-two-three-four!" "One-two-three-four!" " Come in, miss." " Thank you." "March forward!" "Look over there!" " l told you to look over there!" " l did!" "And you look over there now!" " Do you know where Degleris is?" " Around here, miss!" "Alice!" "Lazarus, come forward." " Has she gone?" " She has." "Degleris, what are you doing?" "Diving exercises, sir." " l don't like this." " But why, daddy?" " What did you come here for?" " To ask you..." "Whether I'm letting you go to the theatre with Liza tonight." "Why didn't you ask me before I left home in the morning?" "I forgot." "Why didn't you wait to tell me at noon?" "I was afraid I'd forget again." "Since I remembered it..." " Why didn't you phone me?" " l thought I'd take a walk." "Next time you want to tell me something, you should call me." "And if you feel like taking a walk, go somewhere else." "The Academy is not the proper place for... walks." " All right." " All right, what?" "You said something and I agree." "is it so bad?" "Tell me if it is." "Alkis..." "Alkis!" "Alkis!" "Pssst!" "Alkis!" "I'm just beginning to realize how much I love her." "And you chose to tell me at this time of the night?" "Couldn't it wait till tomorrow morning?" " l can't sleep." " l can though." "Does it feel right to let me stay awake all by myself?" "Sure it does." "Should I lie awake because you've fallen in love?" "Takis..." "Ha?" " You are not sleeping either." " No, I can't sleep." "Thinking about your girl?" "No, I've had too much melon." "Takis, do you know anything about that training trip?" " When are we leaving?" " On Wednesday." "Good..." "Next Wednesday?" " That's right." " On the training ship?" "Of course, what else?" " And are you all going?" " What do you mean by "all"?" "The whole Academy?" "The cadets too?" "Especially the cadets." "Those trips are for their training." "Are all the cadets going?" "Would you like us to leave one behind?" "To do what?" "Jesus..." "Alice!" " Don't let them wait for you." " And don't be late!" "Hello!" "Hi, how are you?" "For your information, your daughter is in love." " And very much so." " With whom?" "I don't know about that." "I just know that she's in love." "And, if I may ask you, how have you reached this conclusion?" " That Alice is in love." " l've noticed." "You've noticed what?" "The symptoms of this "illness" are so typical..." "Temper, loss of appetite, staying in her bedroom... crying with no reason..." " l know because I've had them." " You've had those symptoms?" "I have also been in love." "With you, silly." "Remember?" "You were a cadet." "You were about to sail off... and watching the preparations I said to myself..." ""Virgin Mary!" "If only I could sneak inside the ship... "" "Well, I'll sneak inside!" " How are you going to do it?" " l haven't figured it out yet." "But I'm sure I'll think of something." "Left-right!" "Left-right!" "Left-right!" "Left-right!" "More lively now!" "The song says it." "No medicines or change of scenery may help." "No talking, Vranas!" "Left-right!" "Left-right!" "Have a safe trip and call me." " Where is Alice?" " At the car." "Are we ready?" "Good..." " Goodbye then." " Have a safe trip." " And listen to your mother." " Yes, sir!" "Do you understand?" "And hurry." "Mom!" "Daddy left his suitcase!" " How did he forget about it?" " l don't know. lt was outside." "I put it into the car!" "Perhaps the sailor took it out to put something else inside." " l put it in the car myself!" " That's what I'm saying, Irene!" "You put it in the car and the sailor took it outside... and left it on the pavement." " Wait, I'll call him." " Who are you going to call?" "Your father, to tell him to send for it." "The car doesn't have a phone." "Where are you going to call him?" "Daddy won't be there for at least half an hour." "If you call him in half an hour and he sends a car... they'd need an hour to come here and go back again." "There are things that he needs in the suitcase." "How do you know?" "I can imagine. lt's a suitcase, so it has things that he needs." "Would he put a vase inside?" " l'll call at the Academy." " l'll go, mommy." "What's the big deal?" "I'm getting a cab." "Call and tell them to let me go through just in case." " We'd better send Irene." " Irene can't handle this." "She'll get mixed up and go to a different place." "It's daddy's suitcase." "The Commander's, that is." "Leave it here." "I'll send it at once." "Can I take it to him?" "I need to tell him something." " You see, I am..." " Miss Alice!" "Hello!" "How are you?" "Of course I remember you." "Have you come to see your father off?" "He forgot his suitcase, but they won't let me go through." " Send it at once." " No!" "I'd like to board the ship to tell him something important." "is this so hard?" "Come now..." " Let her go through." " Thank you!" "Take the suitcase and lead the young lady to the Commander." " l know how to go there." " This way, miss." "Do you know what I'm thinking about?" "Where can she be now?" "Can you do me a favour?" "Take the suitcase to my father." "And don't tell him I'm here." "I want to surprise him." " Yes, miss." " Thank you." "Pull up the staircase!" "Ready to sail off!" "Both engines reverse half speed." "The helm to the right!" " Play some music!" " l'm eating now!" "Come on now, play!" "Leave the bread!" " You are very good." " Play the other song too." "No more now." "My bread!" "Where is my bread?" "is this why you told me to play the harmonica?" "Like the raven and the fox?" "Give me the bread!" "The raven is not so foolish, like in the time Aesopus lived." "This is not your bread!" "Let it go!" "It's my bread!" " lt's mine!" " What happened to my bread?" "How should I know?" "This is mine, I swear!" "Give me my bread!" " Are you gloomy again?" " Leave me alone." "Well, this is becoming a joke now." " Do you think it's funny?" " Not to say ridiculous." " Unacceptable for a man like you." " You don't know my problem." "What is your problem?" "Let's talk over here." "Can you understand it?" "It has become like a nightmare." "I cannot concentrate, or find any peace." "It's like she is a ghost." "I can even hear her voice." " Nonsense..." " l can hear her voice." "Mister Pirate..." "Damn!" "I can hear her too!" " lmpossible!" " l am scared, Costas." "Alice!" "Ghosts don't go out at noon for sunbathing." "Don't look around." "Just look whether someone is coming." "Nobody is coming." "Good morning!" "It's a nice weather today." "Don't you think?" "I've never seen a pirate so confused in my life." "Someone's coming." "Stay where you are." "I feel numb." "I need to stretch my legs." "Please, Alice, don't say crazy things." " What is going to happen?" " l have an idea." "Don't you move it from here, miss." "I swear, you guys." "And for a moment..." "What is it?" "Those guys were talking and one of them spoke like a woman." "In the end, the tall guy called the other one "Alice"." " Go to hell!" " l swear to you!" "Come with me." " ls everyone alerted?" " Yes, they are all coming." " Hurry up!" " Why did you call for us?" " Are the doors closed?" " Yes!" "is everyone here?" "Come with me." "We called you here for a very serious and top secret matter." "We rely on your chivalry, your discretion... and the sense of solidarity that exists among us." "Tell us!" "Gentlemen, I'll say it in just two words." "There is a mine aboard ship." "And I repeat, a live mine." "Live, completely live!" "And blonde." "And to be more precise on the matter, most of you guys... know about the love drama our friend Degleris is experiencing." "All of you remember, don't you?" "Well, Degleris..." " Wait, let me speak now." " Go ahead then." "About 3 months ago, Degleris..." " 2 and a half months." " About 2 and a half months ago..." "Take out the cover of the boat and fold it carefully..." "Or rather leave it for now and come with me." " And at the first harbour..." " How shall we bring her here?" "Gentlemen, there is a solution to this problem also." "But we must find somebody with almost the same height." "Papasotiriou, come here." "Costas!" "What?" "Are we dancing now?" "I need to check you out." "No." "She was just up to here." "Come here, Nakos." " This should be all right." " Undress!" " What am I going to do?" " Pretend to be sick." "This daring operation must be executed only by volunteers." "There must be 5 of us." "Takis, Costas and I will be the three." "We need 2 more." "Those of you who wish to come, raise your hand." "Thanks a lot, boys." "Guys, we are ready." "Here is the uniform." "Quiet, boys." "Take it easy." "Guys, we must leave quietly not to raise any suspicions." "Some of you stand in some parts of the route to cover us." "We can't leave all together." "Costas, leave with Takis." "Apostolou will go by himself and then, Papadopoulos and I." "All right?" "Let's go." " Let's go with the help of God." " Amen." "Let's go." "Guys, as we agreed." "All right?" "I drink water over and over and I have a full belly." "The one called Alice by the other one had a round belly." " You are impossible!" " Why do you hit me, guys?" " Understood?" " Yes." "The clothes, boys." "When you are ready, tell us and wait there." " We'll tell you when to come out." " Okay." "Apostolou, go over there to check things out." " l am ready." " Wait for a moment." " Hurry up, guys." " Come on out." "Walk forward like nothing is happening!" "You are something else!" "This is not acceptable." "Come in!" "Bringing you a sample of the food, sir." "Commander, would you like to try it?" "I left my glasses at my cabin again." " What's for today?" " Fish." "If you were patient, the mystery wouldn't be a mystery any more." "Why didn't you tell me to wait?" "Why didn't you explain to me?" " l got confused that night." " You should call, or write." "It's all simple to you." "Guys!" "I am sorry to interrupt, but you can talk about it later." "There are more pressing matters at hand here." "This situation is unprecedented and if they find out about it... not only must we all be expelled but we should get hung too." "The young lady must disembark at the next harbour." " l will then." " That's easier said than done." "This is not a bus, where anyone can get on or off." "What if she goes ashore among the others wearing the uniform?" "This is the only way, but what if the Commander is present?" "The other officers might not notice one more cadet... ." "though I doubt it, but the Commander is bound to know her." "That's right." "Let's take his glasses!" "He can't see anything without them!" " That's it!" " The glasses is an idea." " What's that?" " lt's the signal for dinner." " Good." "Let's eat." " Are you crazy?" "I'm hungry." "You can't possibly come to the dining-room." "They won't know it's me among so many men." "Let's go." "I feel like putting on a life- jacket and falling into the sea." " Please, stay here." " OK, but won't I have dinner?" " We'll bring you food." " We'll bring you something to eat." "Bring me a lot of food." " Are you sick?" " No, I'm fine." " Then, why are you in bed?" " You are wearing my clothes." "These are yours?" "Would you like to trade places?" "What do you mean?" "I could stay in bed and give you the clothes to go and eat." " Will you stay like that?" " l hope they'll remember me." "The army boots are so big." "First I make a step inside the boots and then they move." "I'm telling you, our basketball team will crash you." " We are stronger." " We'll see about that." "And it will be noon." " They are late." " Yes, they are." "It seems that you eat well at the Navy." "Costas, Takis, move!" "Take it easy!" "Come, Costas!" "Guys!" "Alla una, alla due, alla tre!" "Hurrah!" "Guys, don't shout so loudly, because we are dead." "We could cheer in a lower voice, like this:" "Hurrah..." "Easy!" "The bottles go below!" "Put the appetisers above!" "We have one here too." "Take some of these too." "But, this is a proper dinner!" "Of course it's a proper dinner." "It's your engagement dinner." "Bravo!" "Lower your voices, or we are all going to prison." "It's a triumph, gentlemen!" "Daddy's glasses!" " How did you do it?" " l got lucky." "He'd left them on a table and as soon as I got the chance..." "Holy Christ..." "Where on earth have I left them again?" " Steward..." " At your service." "is that you, son?" "Go to my cabin, please." "I've left my glasses there." "Go on..." "Oh no..." "Oh no!" "She's laughing too much and I don't like it at all." "She's getting crazy when sober." "Imagine now that she's drunk." "Costas!" "Come on, Alice, that's enough." " l haven't drunk anything yet." " The others want to drink too." "All right, take it." "Tell me, am I the superior or are you?" " l'd say that I am." " Not likely. I am." " What's wrong?" " Nothing. I'm thinking." "About my future." "What I'm going to do now that I'll be kicked off the Navy." "I must do something to get by." "Shall we do a trio?" "Guys!" "Sh!" "It was a wonderful dinner, but it can't end in silence." "Dancing and singing is in order." "It's clear now." "We are finished." " What did you say?" " Nothing..." "We could do without the song, or we could just say a psalm... and then fall into the sea one by one." "What do you think?" "You are right. lf we have time to fall before they drop us." "We are going to sing!" "We'll sing and dance, right?" "This is a mystery, because I remember they were on the table!" " Did you search the place?" " Yes, sir." "They are not there." "We've looked everywhere." "Could I by any chance wear them and haven't noticed?" "Yes..." "Move on and fear nothing." "We need to be brave in our life." "And hope always keeps us good company." "You shouldn't burden your heart with bitterness or sadness." "Move on and fear nothing!" "Move on and have no worries!" "Move on not thinking about the future!" "Move on and do whatever you like!" "Move on before your youth goes away!" "Move on, our life is so short!" "Move on and fear nothing, the night is followed by the dawn... and the world is just a sphere rolling day and night." "Be sad about nothing..." "Have no fears..." "Move on and have no worries, it's just a rolling sphere." " Move on!" " Not thinking about the future!" " Move on!" " And do whatever you like!" " Move on!" " Before your youth goes away." " Move on!" " Life is so short!" "Move on and have no fears, our life keeps changing." "And you never know what's going to happen next!" "Drink, sing and laugh, do all kinds of crazy things." "Move on and have no fears, move on and keep smiling." " Move on!" " Not worrying about the future!" " Move on!" " And do whatever you like." " Move on!" " Before your youth goes away!" " Move on!" " Our life is so short." " Goodnight, gentlemen." " What about you, Commander?" "Since I can't read, I'll go for a walk around the ship." "Have a good night." "A boat was all alone on a blue sea... and there was also a sea- gull with white feathers." "And it kept flying around her to tease her... making its wings wet in the blue water." "I felt jealous of the small white boat... because the sea-gull was speaking to her sail!" "And I feel like a little boat in the blue sea... always waiting for the sea-gull to appear." "A red geranium blossomed in the pot... and a butterfly came flying like crazy... and who knows what the little tease said to it... forcing it to become even more red!" "I keep thinking about its wide wings... but I can't figure out what they said to each other." "Whoever knows it should also tell me... I wish I could hear it from you even though I blushed too." "Last night's moon made the poplar's leaves look silver... as it stood still in the middle of nowhere." "At the first sea-breeze it rustled... and its silver leaves quivered." "I keep thinking and thinking that something... must have been said by the sea- breeze through its branches." "If only I could hear from you the sea- breeze's words... even if my heart would quiver like the leaves." " What are you doing here?" " Just talking, sir." "Get out of here!" "Go!" "Bravo!" "What is going on, gentlemen?" "I heard voices and songs..." " Permission to speak, sir." " Go on." "Degleris has his birthday and because of the occasion... not being bed time yet, we were singing quietly." "Do you call this "quietly"?" "But this is not what's about." "I also heard a woman's voice." "I pretended for the laughs." " Do it again then." " Right away, sir." "Listen..." " So you can sing like a woman." " Yes, sir." " And you speak with two voices." " No, sir." "I got carried away and I spoke in a woman's voice... while Apostolou spoke in a man's voice." "We'll talk about it tomorrow, gentlemen and..." "ladies." "Hurry up." "First of all, take out the cover carefully." "Hey!" "Hey..." "Hey, you!" "Hurry up!" "Cha-cha-cha!" "What is going on here?" "Did you find those inside the boat?" " lt looked good on me." " Get out of here, silly!" "These were found in the boat?" "And you heard a woman's voice?" "I did, sir." "Would you recognize the men talking in front of the boat?" "Sure..." "Costas, don't sit around." "We are arriving at Volos." "Go and take the young lady's dress very discreetly." " Shall I disembark in these?" " Yes, with the help of God." "We are sure on the Commander's side." "We'll see about the others." " l'll change at Volos?" " And you'll give us the uniform." "Poor Nakos will be able to get out of bed at last." " Shall we surprise him?" " No." "Let's follow him." "The dress is not there." "I looked everywhere." "All clear." " What happened to the dress?" " lt's a mystery." " Did you search thoroughly?" " Of course I did." "Guys!" "Let's face this matter realistically." "I don't know about the dress, but miss Alice will go ashore... even without a dress." "What do you mean?" "I'll get off at Volos and strip?" " You'll get off in the uniform." " And go home like a cadet?" "We'll purchase a dress at Volos." "Yes, but what about the other dress?" "This is inexplicable." "lnexplicable!" "This dress and this hat, gentlemen... I would bet that they belong to my daughter!" "That's right!" "I have no doubt particularly for the hat... because I bought it for her myself in Italy." "One could say there are many like it, but what a coincidence!" "And it's not only the hat!" "It's the dress, the shoes!" " Who was looking in the boat?" " Degleris." " A fourth- year cadet." " Yes, I know." "Please, be very careful now that we'll get to Volos." "Do a thorough control, but without anyone realizing it." "And have somebody watching Degleris." "He's already under surveillance." "And 57 down." "Choose something thin, so that I can wear it under these." "It's better like this." "Let's take the dress first..." "Right." "How could I go shopping dressed like a cadet?" "Aren't we going dressed like cadets?" "What's the difference?" "It's not the same." " The disembarkation's begun." " Are the leaves in order?" "Let's go, guys." "And you do as we said." "Be careful." "Bye." " How long shall we remain here?" " A couple of hours." " l'll have time to go ashore." " Propably not." "You'll have to disembark among the other sailors." "I see. lt's all right." "I'll disembark at Salonika." "We want to do a joke, to play a game, you know." "We are playful guys." " What are you doing here?" " Just hanging around, sir." "What's your name, son?" "I am the fourth-year cadet Dimitrios Beliris." "Right..." "What's your name?" "I am the fourth-year cadet Panagiotis Dimitriou." "Right..." "What's your name?" "I am the fourth-year cadet Nicolaos Apostolou." "Right..." "You back there, what's your name?" "I am the fourth-year cadet Ioannis Nakos." "Right..." "Don't go in there." "The Commander is inside." "Let's take these things out of sight." "Too many dresses, guys." "Too many dresses." "This is a destroyer, not a school for girls." "So the one is my daughter." "There are documents now." " Her identification." " What about the other one?" "Two dresses, two girls." "It's quite clear." "Come in!" "There is a message for you, Commander." "Thank you." "Please, read it for me, mr." "Papadakis." ""Alice disappeared yesterday when came to bring suitcase. "" ""l am going crazy." "Send instructions what to do. "" "Here is the confirmation." "You can go now." "Thank you." "Aren't you going to send her a message to put her at ease?" "We are arriving at Salonica in 15 minutes. I'll call her." " Could it be your husband?" " Since it's from Salonika!" "Yes?" "Yes!" "Hello?" "Hi!" "Yes, I got it." "I said I'd got it." "Don't worry though." "Our pride and joy is here." "She is here, I tell you." "Alice is here." "No, she is parading right now." "Parading, I tell you!" "As what?" "As a cadet!" "Slope arms!" "March forward!" "All the officers are staring at me. I think they know." " Pretend that you don't see!" " Oh oh!" " Keep your gun up, miss!" " Pardon?" "March without talking!" "Haven't they brought the new glasses I sent for yet?" "Not yet." "Come in!" "Sir, with all due respect, the young lady..." " Did she get away?" " She's outside." "With the others." "Let them come in!" "All four of them!" " You naughty girl!" " Not a girl, sir!" "Naughty boy, perhaps." "Not a naughty girl though!" " Alice!" " Here I am, daddy." "Your glasses, sir." "Give them to me, because it's time we told... the males from the females." "May I, sir?" "I am responsible for everything that's happened." "And what are you, child?" "Male or female?" "I am a man, sir." "Shut up!" "What about the other girl?" " There isn't any other girl." " Why the two dresses then?" "I bought the second one in Volos because the first disappeared." "I'm telling you, sir, I am the only responsible here." "Don't listen to him, daddy." "It's all my fault." "You didn't invite me aboard the ship, did you?" " He's talking rubbish." " lt's my fault, sir." "I made a serious mistake." "I have no place in here." "You do!" "Your place is hanging from the highest mast!" "I'm going to hang both of you!" " He did what he said." " What?" "He hanged them for life." "subtitles ODEON S.A."
