Head On Page #3

Synopsis: Nineteen-year-old Ari confronts both his sexuality and his Greek family. Ari despises his once-beloved parents, former radical activists, for having entombed themselves in insular tradition. Ari is obsessed with gay sex, although he does make an unenthusiastic attempt to satisfy the sister of one of his best friends. While all of this is going on, he's facing problems with his traditional Greek parents, who have no clue about his sexual activities.

-I don't know.

Hundreds, I suppose.

-You ever been in love?

-Every time, sugar.

-No, I mean really in love.

-Love is a beautiful thing, Ari.

It's the way I live

Dancing in the sky

Sign of water

I'm your daughter

Lots of feathers, fluffy and pink...

-You know sometimes...

when you're in the middle of a f***,

you look into that person's eyes.

I've seen things, you know.

I've felt things.

Nice things.

But then I blow and that's it.

No more nice things,

I just wanna get the f*** out of there.

-You're such a slut.

[laughter]

[screams]

[laughs]

Come out with me tonight.

I'll get rid of the crier.

Let's go dancing.

-No.

I'm going to the Steki.

-Who with?

-Joe and his girlfriend.

-Why do you still

hang around with that malaka?

[door opens]

[man] Johnny.

-What?

Ari.

[speaking in foreign language]

[man replies in foreign language]

-Sh*t, Johnny.

-Hey.

-Yes.

You got a job yet?

[laughs]

-No, you?

[laughs]

-No.

No job.

F***ed up country, Ari.

F***ed up country.

-He's good.

[door shuts]

I will.

Thanks, Tia.

-Go f*** yourself,

you drunk as f*** animal.

Just get used to it.

[laughs]

-Hey.

You f*** a few girls for me tonight, huh?

-Hey.

We'll go out tomorrow night.

OK?

[upbeat music]

[panting]

[upbeat music]

[knocking on door]

[Alex] It's me.

[chuckles]

-Hey, you look sexy.

-Where you going?

-I'm seeing Charlie.

Can you drop me off?

-Does Mum know?

-I told her I was going out with you.

We're gonna f*** tonight.

You don't like him, do you?

-I don't trust him.

-Why?

[Sophia] Dinner's ready.

-I'm not hungry.

-I'm not gonna tell you what to do.

-Good.

-Does this mean I get my vibrator back?

Gonna see tonight

Wanna tell you she's out of sight...

-I couldn't remember

when this song came out.

-You always say that.

As if we care,

you didn't even write the bloody song.

Mama.

Want a whisky?

Doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo

I'm walking home

I'm walking home

To you.

[speaks Greek]

[music stops]

-I think I can feel a Greek record

coming on.

[upbeat Greek music]

[singing in Greek]

[speaks Greek]

[Sophia exclaims in Greek]

[Sophia and Dimitri speaking in Greek]

[singing in Greek]

-In the good old days with Vassilli, eh?

He sends his regards to you.

He'd really like to see you, Dad.

It's not his fault.

Johnny's got a right to live his life.

Because he's my friend.

-Ari, you still going dancing

with Joe and Dina tonight?

-Probably.

No way.

No way, I got the right to do what I want.

Bullshit, bullshit!

[keys jangle]

[door slams]

-Where are you going tonight?

-I told you.

-You're too young to be going out.

-I don't want a lecture.
