...and they drop me.

Then they sit all around.

You understand that now that

we was all very familiar.

And they drank all the champagne.

AII, from the top to the bottom.

Then...

And then they put out the light.

When I waked up...

...I smelled so good.

All their perfume...

...one on top of the other.

But they was gone.

Men are so cruel.

Canavaro.

Hello?

Canavaro.

What is it?

Look.

Boss, a big, beautiful, wild widow.

Pavlo!

Look at Mavrandoni.

He is burning.

Why?

His son is crazy in love

with the widow.

But she spits him in the eye.

The more she spits...

...the more he wants her.

Look.

Look at the faces of all these.

They all want her.

And they hate her

because they cannot have her.

Only one man here...

...can.

Who?

You.

Rubbish.

I saw her eyes

when she looked at you.

- Zorba, don't start.

- Listen.

God, who is a clever devil, today put

in your hands a gift from paradise.

- Don't be silly.

- Boss. Why did God give us hands?

To grab. Well, grab.

- Boss.

- Yes.

Boss, listen. You go, you knock.

You say,

"I have come for my umbrella."

- She will say, "Please, please come in."

- No.

Boss. Boss, don't make me mad.

I don't want any trouble.

Boss. Life is trouble,

only death is not.

To be alive is to undo your belt

and look for trouble.

Well?

No.

Zorba!

What?

For God's sake, boss.

Will you go back to your papers?

Zorba?

Get out.

Get out!

Zorba!

You bastard mountain!

I'll eat your guts!

What is it, Zorba?

They left axes inside,

that's what.

They are so brave, every time they

hear a noise, they mess their pants!

Zorba, leave them alone!

- Axes cost money.

- I know, and I don't care!

Right now I'm just glad

that nobody's hurt. That's all.

And what's more, I think you should

let them go for today.

Boss.

You better make up your mind. Are you

or are you not a gosh darn capitalist?

I'm hungry.

We've got to find some strong trees...

...to make beams for the galleries.

Hello.

You're late.

What is it, Zorba?

Out with it.

Boss...

Do you trust me?

Yes, I do.

Why the hell do you?

- Because you are you.

- But you don't understand.

My brain is not the right weight.

It... It gives me such crazy ideas.

I might ruin you.

I'll take that chance.

Say that again, boss.

Give me courage.

I'll take that chance.

Boss.

- Boss.

- What?

- Do you dance?

- Dance? No, no.

Then get out of the way.

I... I may knock you down.

Zorba!

That's enough!

Stop. Stop.

Go!

Zorba. Zorba!

Are you all right?

Now...

Now, I can...

I can talk again.

What on earth came over you?

When a man is full...

...what can he do?

Burst?

When my little boy, Dimitri, died...
