Highway to Hellas Page #3

Synopsis: The Germans are coming. To snoop, pry and inspect once again, because the Greek are always under suspicion to lie, cheat and scam. And rightfully so. Jörg Geissner, an employee of the Munich based AVO-Bank arrives on the island of Paladiki, to check on the registered securities of a credit granted years ago by his bank. His suspicion: the registered securities - a hospital and a power generating plant - don't really exist. But the Greeks aren't stupid - they will make Geissner prove that the securities don't exist. And so a completely overwhelmed Geissner embarks on an unexpected Odyssey all by himself, against the rest of the island. His constant companion being the shrewd German-Greek gigolo Panos, who will see to it that Geissner's search for the power-plant will get him nowhere. In the meantime Paladiki's Mayor Spyros will desperately try to conjure something up, which would maybe look like a power plant, at least at night and with the help of a few drink and then some more drinks.

on a donkey!

Why not? Just try it.

This is to go right,

that's to go left.

4O for the donkey

and 5 for the map.

We'll take care of it later.

Good luck.

- You think this will work?

- It will.

We'll start work today.

Damned goats!

Which idiot brought those animals

to our island?

Those animals are subsidised!

They finance the island!

- You mean like the power plant?

- Leave me alone!

Say...

Can you keep the German spy

away from here for a few days?

That's the least of our problems.

Right. Right. Right!

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Oh, God. Hang on.

- Hello, Dr Laichinger.

- Geissner, where are you?

- Hello?

- Hello, what's the situation?

- Why are you whispering?

- I can't speak openly.

I see.

- But you don't have to whisper.

-That's right.

- So, what's the situation?

- Yes, uh...

To be honest, right now

things are going a bit slowly.

We're having

some transportation problems.

I hope they haven't sent you off

on a donkey!

It's not that bad.

I can't ride anyway.

But today I might not

be able to visit both...

- The situation is serious!

-I know it's serious.

- Stay on it, Geissner.

-Yes, I'll stay on it, Dr...

Damn it!

When I say right, I mean right!

You think I'll let you make a fool of me?

Damn it!

Come back.

Come back!

Vassilis, bring two buckets of water.

Come here.

- He found his own way back.

- Good animal, right?

Did you take a walk with the German?

Cheers!

Can I get something to eat here too?

Vassilis, the speciality of the house.

You'll like it.

How was your day, my friend?

Did you find everything?

Why not spare ourselves

this whole charade,

and you tell me straight out

that you have neither a power station

nor a hospital?

- Oh, Herr Kommissar!

- I'm not a Kommissar.

How nice to have you here with us.

What would we have done

without you Germans? Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

He won't hold out much longer!

He can hardly wait

to get back on his ferry.

Bon apptit!

- Don't worry, it's all organic.

- The eye is particularly tasty.

Go on.

My apologies, please.

We don't like it

when the Germans send their watchdogs.

Why are you whispering?

I have a little problem with the owner.

It's better she doesn't know I'm here.

It's not your fault.

You're just doing your job.

No, I love my job.

Panos!

Panos!

Panos! Open the door!

I know you're in there.

Open up or I'll kick the door in!

Is Daddy in there?

Stop calling that idiot "Daddy"!

What a great dad!

Leave my customers alone!

Do you understand?

You'll sorely regret

having set foot in my hotel!

Good evening.

Do you have a visitor?

- No.

- I'll give you some advice.

Stay away from that man.
