Didn't I tell you, Mr Karavidas?

We told you! The son of Katina

Zekou is a thief. A bum.

You shouldn't have trusted your

goats to this useless.

Katina Zekou, your son is

only good for hanging.

You who are starving, where will you

find any bread now that he's in jail?

Thanos! My son! Thanos!

I curse the day my belly barfed you,

Katina Zekou. Open up your belly.

Your son Thanos wants to disappear.

You are right, Thanos.

My father does not like you.

He'll throw you to jail. Be ready.

- If I escaped?

- I'll do my best to prevent him.

I swear. I'll talk to him.

I'll plead to him.

If we escaped together?

And go where?

What will happen if he learns

what you did?

You know what a savage he is.

Damn them. Damn them.

I have to find all these goats.

So that not even one

will be missing.

A disgrace! Get out! (in German)

Your German is great.

Yeah, yeah, good, good.

If Vlahopoulos would give me

his daughter and the dowery.

I'd buy fields for tobacco.

I'd never plant beans like this idiot.

Tobacco. Tobacco is gold.

OK with the dowery, but about Despina?

Do you feel sorry for not marrying her?

No right? Compared with

some German girls...

- Beautiful girls.

- What you wouldn't do there, right?

So Vlahopoulos said no, right?

Even if he'd have said yes,

with this damage now.

I heard what happened today and

what your mother did with Vlahopoulos.

- What did she do?

- Look at that.

- Tell me what happened.

- Why are you sitting here? He'll take her.

Thanos. Vlahopoulos threw

her in the street

and then she lifted her skirt in

front of the whole village and showed...

Give me my goat.

- Get out of my field.

- Give me my goat.

- Get out of my field.

- Give me my goat.

- You vile man. Give it back.

- Get out.

I didn't want those hicks

to see me. Understand?

I don't want my father to know

we were together.

So? Will we escape together?

Will we go to Australia?

Thanos?

I have to leave once

I finish with the army.

Because my father wants to marry me.

And do you know with whom?

With Despina.

- With whom?

- With Despina. He sent a matchmaker.

He wants to buy me a mini-market

with the dowery and sell the animals.

If Vlahopoulos agrees I'll have

to get married. Understand?

Then get married.

But I don't want to. I want

to go abroad like you did.

I want to make my own future.

I want to earn too much money.

- I don't want to own a store.

- You are very difficult to please.

- A store is not enough for you?

- No, it's not.

Thano, you gave me your word.

Don't forget you promised.

When you returned from Germany

you said we'd leave together.

Shut up. Those damn

things are over there.

Thanos, let's go.
