Thanos and Despina Page #2

Be clean.

- So much dust.

- I'll go and change.

No! Keep your uniform.

Just brush it and have it ironed.

OK.

Have you learned what your

protegee just did?

No. What?

He send his mother to Vlahopoulos

for a matchmaking with Despina.

- We'll have great competition.

- His mother wanted it.

She doesn't let him

leave for Australia.

- How do you know that?

- She told me herself this morning.

It's time to get back

from the army.

I don't want him top guard

my animals anymore.

- Why? Did he do anything wrong?

- Not yet.

But I'm keeping an eye on him.

I know you love him.

He is your cousin.

For your sake I gave him work

when he was sent away from Germany.

We must help the poor.

God will reward us.

Th. Zekos.

Hey. My son is not good enough right?

We needed this dowery.

Too much to be exact.

Dowery! Dowery!

Do you know that my father

was a great priest?

If he could right the Gospel, that

he knew by heart,

he could become a Bishop.

What if I married a useless man?

Do you hear me down there?

Your father was useless.

And you are like him.

They insulted me, they threw me out

in the street because of you.

Me! Katina Zekou!

Your son is a thief, Katina.

Nobody wants your son.

Do you hear me? Nobody wants you.

You'll be hungry your whole life.

Just like your father.

Let me leave this place.

I don't want to starve to death.

I don't want to live as a eunuch.

Let me leave for

Adelaide in Australia.

No!

Europe! Europe! Full of cars!

Look at all this misery.

Come on shepherd.

Don't brake my balls.

I brake your balls, do I? Your lament

brakes my balls, shepherd.

Hey, shepherd.

Haven't you heard?

Don't you hear for 7 days now

the sound my sheep make

when they burst? Don't shout.

Hey! They stabbed my dog shepherd.

They stole my sheep.

They'll throw me in prison.

Germany! Germany!

Shut up.

You are yelling Germany,

but even there you were nothing.

Nothing. Nothing here

and nothing there.

You don't know how to read or work.

So don't shout.

You're singing laments.

Moaning like a female shepherd.

But if you weren't that poor and that

stupid, your sheep would still be alive.

You killed them female shepherd!

I took my goats to the doctor.

Look at my sheep, shepherd.

Listen at the winds

raised by my sheep.

They come from Europe

and they go to Australia.

I'll bury my dog.

Then I'll go after the goats.

Let me help you.

For the heavenly music.

For the earthly music.

When the mountains shake.

Thanos! Thanos!

It's your boss. His son.

- Be careful, shepherd.

- He's my friend.

The rich are cautious with their

poor friends. And they should.

The poor are not cautious

with their rich friends.
