or am I mistaken?

How did you hear

of Aghios Georgios?

FRANCES:
Someone told us

at the hotel in Heraklion.

I'm a musicologist.

I collect folk songs.

What kind of songs

do you expect to find here?

Um, the song that this hotel

is called after, for one.

Now, do you mind?

We'd like to rest.

All right.

You can spend the night here.

FRANCES:
That's

extremely kind of you.

Couldn't we at least

have a bath?

There is no bath here.

Alexis will give you water

to wash in if you wish...

or else there is the sea.

There is a bus leaving

for Isle Mykonos tomorrow.

(Speaking Greek)

Swell.

Really.

My Uncle Stratos

is much lousy man.

I bring you water.

Lousy is the word!

Well, if that's

an example...

of Cretan

hospitality, l...

(Both laugh)

Oh, it's so awful.

It's hilarious.

Oh, well, at least

it couldn't be any worse.

Oh, darling,

I am sorry.

I promise that

we'll spend a week...

in Cannes

on the way home...

and we'll dress up...

and go to all the galas

and be madly gay.

But you knowwhat's going

to be the final blow? w?

The one available Englishman...

will be some... some

moth-eaten old professor...

about 75 who's only

interested in ruins.

Well, he'll have

one here ready-made.

(Dramatic music playing)

Thanks, Lambis.

You went to

the Bay of Dolphins?

Huh? Yes.

Skin diving?

Yes. The water's so clear

you could see everything.

And how much did you see?

Hmm?

It was you, wasn't it,

out in that boat watching me?

Don't be so shy next time.

I'll give you a diving lesson.

Aunt Fran, don't you think

we ought to dress for dinner...

to sort of honor

the bride?

Yes.

(Man singing in Greek)

There he is.

There he is!

Who?

The old Englishman.

& La la la-la-la

la la la &

Oh, he's charming.

You go in.

I don't want to be first.

Good evening.

Good evening.

You must be

the two old English...

Hmm?

You must be

the two old English ladies...

Alexis told me about.

Have you been here long?

Um...

Whew!

I'm Mark Camford.

Frances Ferris.

How do you do?

My niece Nikky.

- Hello.

- Good evening.

I thought, perhaps,

since everyone was celebrating,

we might have dinner

together.

- We'd love to.

- Yes!

What a pleasant

surprise.

I had Alexis

keep us a table outside.

- All right?

- Yes.

I bring you dinner.

Same as them.

Oh, thank you,

Alexis.

Sweet.

Is this the first time

you've been to Greece?

We spent a week in Athens

before coming here.

Uh-huh.

Have you been

to Athens?

Mmm.

It's fabulous, isn't it,

the Acropolis and everything?

I mean, it's so exactly

like the Acropolis.

I wish they could stick

it all together again...

don't you?

Have you been here long?

Hmm?
