feta cheese, for Godsake

You gambled it on a shopping....

Could really do without these comments.

Right now.

this company, Harry.

You never listened.

It's always have to be bigger.

Better.

Like these offices.

We didn't need these offices.

Do you know how much we paid for

that "work of art" up there?

Do you?

200 Grand.

200 Grand for a fish.

What do you want me to do Nick?

- Our business was profitable Harry.

I was gonna retire in 2 years.

I'd like to bring that forward.

You're resigning now?

The accountants are coming in.

Sorry, Harry

Den boro. (I can not)

Den boro.

Nicholas!

- That's enough.

It's enough.

- Nicholas!

Can you believe that.

- Hey, Fat Laki!

You know why they call

this guy Fat Laki?

Oh, wow.

Well, congratulation.

I stoped eating bread.

It's sad though.

I love bread.

But what can you do?

This is Sophie, just relocated

form my New York office.

Hallo, really pleased

to meet you.

Can I just say I'm a

huge fan of Greek food.

Specially the cakes.

I love the Baklava.

Great.

Ship's going down

and we got Baklava.

So I take it the bank

supporting the work.

What are the bosses proposing?

They've demmanded the

300 Million we borrowed.

30 by close of play.

Sweet mother of God, they

are sons of b*tches.
