"Some love you sell, you fake!" " You're the one selling me out." " That's how I like it!" "Scram!" "Does that 'General' know what's your kind?" "He's not a General." "He's a Sergeant, you arsehole and he'll kick your ass!" " Fuck off!" " I'll tell the police, I swear!" "And say what?" "That you forcefully pimped me to your so-called friends."

"Hey, Sergeant, will you give me something to put on me?" "There it is." "He was such a bastard that they threw him out of the gendarmerie." "The thug!" "I've got 200." "Is this enough?" "Of course it is." "What about going out to spent it?" "I'm out of time tonight." "I took a French leave." "Playing truant?" "I just wanted to go out." "Behave yourself!" " Are you in a mood?"

"I wouldn't ever believe you could sent away your George who was taking you out for a stroll and you were burst with pride and you were a knockout wherever you've been." "And if you still love him, brace yourself to send him to hell or, else, you'll end up there yourself." "What will become of you?" "A plain housewife with a swarm of snotty-nosed kids?" "Bye-bye life!" "I heard you're having a hard time." "Here I am, your soul mate George, let's get back together to big money!" "Where's our night life, doll?" "Where are our escapades to the beach?" "Where's this and that?" "..." "Haven't you had enough, Evdokia?" "You know how much I love you." "It burns me slowly." "With the motorbike, I can barely make a living." "Don't you take pity on me, darling?" "Don't you care about me being so lonely?" "If you don't want to send the little bumpkin away, tell him to close his eyes and he'll have his share."

"Keep your orders for your soldiers!" "Sergeant!" " Are you going away?" " With marching orders!" "I hear some gossip about you getting discharged." "Lucky beggar!" "So long, old mate Karanasis." " You got yourself in trouble, eh?" "With your wife, right?" " Go now, your papers are ready." " Sergeant Baskos!" "So long!" "He has signed them." "Did you look for me, Captain?" " Baskos, did you get married?" " I did." " Who did you get married to?" " My wife." " Your mother says that..." " People talk to my mother!" " Tale-tellers and bastards, sir!" " Watch your tongue, Sergeant!" "Your mother says that they're sending your papers." "When you get the certificate of discharge, validate your passport!" "Write to your mother, Sergeant!" "Are you going to seek work in Germany, Baskos?" "I wish I knew." "You'll be discharged in ten days." "Pass the leaves round." "I was told something about your wife." "Have I ever asked you about your wife's doings?" "Then why do you want us to part as enemies?" "To hell with you, Sergeant!" "Have you gone mad?" "Pass the leaves round!" "You'll forget, Sergeant." "As soon as you get dressed in civvies, you'll forget." "Everybody forgets." "Pass the leaves round!" "Don't think about it, okay?" "All right." "I just came to pack up my things." " So quick like that?" " Yes." "Do you know that it's hurting me?" "I swear to god!" "You're no less a ruffian!" "What do you make of it?" "There now..." "Can you see what marriage is about?" " All clothes are dirty." " Let them down." "I'll do the washing." "You're going back to the company, eh?" "Yes." "Stay for the night." "And you'll get going in the morning." "It doesn't matter for a night." "I'm afraid of being on my own." " Are you sleepy?" " Uhuh..." "Then, sleep..." "Are you sleeping?" "Oh my God!" " If we could only get away with it!" " What did you say?" "Evdokia." "In about ten days I'll get my discharge..." "Switch the light on." "I'm scared." "Why aren't you sleeping yet?" "Please, take me into your arms." "Maria?" " Maria?" " Who is it?" "It's Evdokia!" "Open the door!" "He walked out on me." "He ran away while I was sleeping..." "We'd had a row into the bargain..." "The merchant ship had already woken me up." "Whenever the ships whistle into the night" "I hear all of them, damn it!" " Is it beginning to dawn?" " It isn't." "You woke up and he was gone, eh?" "He's also got a passport in his pocket." "He'll be discharged in ten days." "You're still young, bitch." "A little baby!" "Lie down!" "There're many ships, tonight." "I was a woman of good family, you know." "But he was a coward." "Now the ship pilot is leading it into the port." "Those who return, are gathered on the decks." "Sour-faced, sleepless and with a bad taste in the mouth." "Their relatives are waiting for them at the docks." "They're getting off." "Motley clothes." "These motley clothes make me sick." "It's like seeing Kolokotronis in a slip."

"These move slowly, they're in no hurry." "My god!" "Evdokia!" "Look at me." "When a ship is in port," "I always come to the mirror..." "What's the matter with you, bitch?" "Are you in love?" "To hell with you!" "Try to have a good time, bitch!" "To hell with your loves!" "Hey, you're not paying attention to me!" "One!" "Two!" "What's this guy looking for?" "You ask him what he's looking for." " Are you looking for something?" " Maria?" "(American accent)" "Maria who?" "Maria Konopoulos, do you know her?" "No." "I'm Maria Tourbis." "Sorry, isn't this no44?" " No, 4." "Sorry, the address..." "It's okay, never mind." "Are you going to stay at homeland, mate?" "Or are you here on a trip?" "Maybe I'll find a young woman, you know, poor but honest... 20 to 28 years old, you see?" "Bye-bye, then." "Bye, bye!" "There must be an other whore at no44..." "Evdokia?" "Look here..." "Have a look." "A stunner, eh?" "I should have become a stage actress, eh?" "When I was in my little short school uniform..." "This song is popular, bitch!" "I'm going to show you, now!" "When I was in my little short school uniform" "A little Miss goody-goody" "And while in girls boarding school 'Arsakeio'" "I was reading Boccaccio" "And in Varvakeion School I had many admirers" "I had something, you say what it was, the silly men could not see!"

"You set me up so you could pimp me." "Yes but later I fell in love with you." "Evdokia, the married guy..." "I'm not going home!" "I've changed my job!" " And what are you doing now?" " I've been married." "Is that why you want three thousand-notes?" "Go to that cheap Vicky who takes two and she's all bells and whistles..." "All right then, all right." "But there's not a shade here." "I warn you I don't want to spent all night here!" "Get in!" "Come on, get in!" "It's my first time while I'm married." " Never mind!" " It still doesn't seem all right to me." " Since I lost you.." " I couldn't care less!" "I've never gone with another woman." "I've had enough with your chatter!" "Don't you go anywhere else to get laid?" "Shame on you, old man!" "In the middle of the day!" "To hell with you!" "And you, move it, dammit!" "The Sergeant bids us farewell."

"If you leave now that will be an offence, got it?" "Let's stay for a little while longer, please." "All right..." "Sit down, arsehole!" " Want a pick a fight with me?" " I'll call the police!" "Let's go outside!" "I've been looking for you for three days." "I got mad, I thought you've gone away!" " Say that I already have." " Put me in the grave and, then, go!"
