Fish n' Chips Page #3

Synopsis: Andy, a hard working Cypriot immigrant in London who deep-fries his way into oblivion, decides to leave London for his native Cyprus. Having slaved away for others his entire life, he finally opens his very own chip shop. But his dream turns into a nightmare, as he seems to have overlooked one small detail: Cyprus just isn't London!

And it stays very fresh.

Thousands of kilos too,

not small quantities like yours.

Alright?

I didn't know fish

needed a visa to enter Cyprus.

We're Europeans now.

I popped out to get some tobacco.

Where are you going, auntie?

- To Cyprus, son.

- But we are in Cyprus.

- Eleni Papageorgiou.

- Yes.

Don't you worry about granny.

We'll get along just fine.

We teach them traditional

Cypriot dances, songs...

In fact, next Sunday...

...we have organized along with

the "Free Karpasia" Union...

...a visit to the Apostle Andreas Monastery

in the occupied areas.

We can put her on the list if you like.

You see?

She'll pass right by her village.

Thank you.

- Who are you, my dear?

- I'm alright.

Where are they taking me, son?

To your room, mom.

This is Nuria, from Spain.

Barcelona!

Aren't we going to Cyprus, son?

We are, mom...

Oh, it's beautiful.

Will you marry me?

They said they'll leave

once the shop is open.

Do you love me?

I wish you had all stayed in England.

- Hey mister, get in line!

- One second.

This isn't fair.

What?

You're selling ice-cream

outside my shop.

Has it reopened? "The Godfather".

Is it a video store?

Come again?

Come again?

As in fish.

I'm not stealing your clients.

I only sell ice-cream.

Can you at least move

a little further down?

You think you'll sell fish and chips if I do?

It's just locals here, there's no English.

You don't sound like a Cypriot to me.

Listen, mate. I've been selling my

ice-cream here for the past four years.

I'm not leaving. If you don't

like it, you move your shack.

Get me a strawberry

and a vanilla cone.

How much do you want to get out?

How much are you offering?

I opened my own fish 'n' chips shop.

In Cyprus, not London.

I'll rent a big house

and I'll get you out of here.

You'll have your own garden

to plant whatever you like.

Bless you, my son.

Where is your roommate?

Don't be afraid, you're not dying.

You're still young.

I'm not afraid, son.

Where many die, fear not death.

- Boss, make me another.

- Me, too. Hold the vinegar.

Fine, but step outside please.

The DJ and the bartender are here.

The best place for a bar is on the beach.

Should we move the bar outside?

We need a generator for tonight

or the lights will blow out the fuses.

I'll take care of it. Don't worry.

Forget about the party.

You need to stay in the hospital

for a few more days.

If you hadn't come in,

you would have fallen into a coma.

You're suffering from severe dehydration.

Nobody comes to see me.

Costakis? Is that you, son?

It's me, dad.

Go back to sleep, don't be afraid.

I want to go to the party too!

- You're not going anywhere!

- I'm going!

Anna, open the door!
