With both hands. Damnit!

Ls this music?

Are you joining the other side?

I'll make a man out of

you yet, like it or not!

Let's go on.

Whatever they offer, you eat.

Eat, eat, and don't ask.

Would my father do that?

And a lot more!

He'd chortle it all down!

That way we get

the women on our side.

Don't you know what they do?

Their husband asks them to vote

for one party, they say "yes"...

...and then secretly

they vote for another.

That's why we'll bring them

with us, one by one.

And say:

"My compliments to the chef."

My compliments to the chef.

Good, come here, my trinket.

You should have been my son.

Now, the men will

ask you to do things.

Things, don't worry, favours.

They're helping us

to bring democracy...

...and we help with their stuff.

Their problems. You see, son?

If they ask for electricity,

you say "electricity".

If they ask for a phone line,

you say a "phone".

If they ask for a road,

you say "yes! The road!"

You say "yes" to everything.

Would my father do that?

That, and much more!

- Leave the boy alone.

- I'll set you straight!

- You're only making it worse.

- Not a word!

Come here, damn it! What are you

doing? Damn your father!

Here's the Godfather!

Hold the baby, she wants you.

Aren't you her Godfather?

Are you afraid of dropping her?

If you want to practice,

you can lift me, it's fine.

- See, your dumb son again!

- Why, sweetheart, why?

Shouldn't you say something?

Something of your own?

You can't be a politician

and a mute.

The boy knows how to speak.

Say something that

your father says.

Long live demo-cre-cy.

Oh, mother of god!

Demo-cre-cy!

Crete's democracy! Cool!

Shut up, you're

confusing Mr. Alex.

Boy!

Long live demo-cra-cy!

Demo-cre-cy.

Mother of god!

Democra-cra...

Cra! Cra! Cra!

Like when you crush hedgehogs!

- Welcome.

- Nice to meet you.

This is our Chief's son.

- This squirt is the son?

- He looks American.

He doesn't look at all

like the Chief.

When you couple a Greek

with a foreigner, you get this.

I saw the Chief's picture when

he was young, they're the same.

My compliments to the chef.

Come to think of it,

they do look alike.

They're identical.

Tell your father that the road

must pass below our village.

It must reach our fields, too.

We can't always be

the ignored ones.

It's all right here.

- Yes to the road.

- Below!

What a voice the duckling has.

Bravo, my little man!

My compliments.

I have a request too, Panagaki.

He has to tell his father

to get rid of the policeman.

He blames our herds, our people,

he doesn't let us be.

And it's getting worse.

He must leave.

I'll give it to you in writing.

- He will leave.

- He will leave!
