Nobody builds anymore...

What the hell am I supposed to do now?

-Hello?

-Do you want to go for a cup of coffee?

-What's his name?

-Yannis.

-Have you been together long?

-A year.

-A good year?

-Look Demetris, I'm glad your dog is fine

and glad that our encounter saved you from

a dangerous situation, but I'm messed up.

As time goes on and I realie

what happened I get furious.

If last year someone told me that I would be

in this place today I wouldn't believe it.

I wouldn't have believed either that they

would break into my house like that,

nor that I would meet you. I'm only trying

to have a normal conversation, so that

you won't think how bad things are.

-Yes, but they are bad!

-Does that help in any way?

-I'll leave... I won't let them ruin me.

-Who?

-The ones running the country,

who turned it into the cesspool it is

and who are responsible for the fact

that I don't know how to react...

-You're not well with your boyfriend, huh?

-No.

-No, I'm not.

-It shows.

-Do you have a relationship?

-No. Nor do I want one.

I believe that some people are made

to have relationships others are not.

I agree.

Besides, for us guys is completely

different than you girls.

-What do you mean?

-For us men it's easier. Because of time.

-Because of time?

-Yes. Most women your age are anxious.

Marriage, kids, security.

-My age?

-Yeah. Not that you grow old.

Which you do, but I'm not referring to you

personally, but to women in general.

Women have a biological clock that

starts to tick after the age of 30.

Add the hormonal pressures, the time

constraints and the social stresses

so you give way more easily, and

in general you're a little more...

-Broken?

-Not broken. Complex...

Its natures fault, not mine.

I'm a friend of your sex.

-Oh, you...

-What?

You're sort of an... a**hole.

Too bad.

That went well...

Marisa? I'll pay you later...

-Ok, I may have sounded sort of an a**hole.

-Soft of? It doesn't start...

-Have you put it in neutral?

-You have your own opinion for women,

obviously you have issues with

your mother, like most Greek men,

you just haven't met the woman who will

show you that things are quite different.

You choose bimbos who can neither

think, nor process anything.

It's so simple, so shallow,

it's just elementary.

-Is this why you got mad and took off?

-This morning I had my life planned out.

I had a job, a relationship,

everything was normal and in order.

The last thing I need right now is

bullshit from a jerk

who has no idea about how

to hit on a woman.

It won't start!

So if I said all these things differently

you may have liked it...

This is my grandmother's antique car,
