Thanos and Despina Page #7

And one of the worst, for all that matters.

A volunteer whore.

If you give me the right to choose,

I want it complete.

Before choosing a husband,

to choose a father

and a brother.

To choose a mother's womb.

Father. I'm grateful.

You are so nice.

So generous. You are my god.

Go and kiss your mother.

Mother, don't cry.

We'll come and visit.

Thessaloniki is not far away.

That's enough woman.

Let her kiss her brother

and her fiancee.

We'll be late for church.

This is your engagement present.

Wear it tonight.

At the resurrection.

You lost everything

in just one day.

You destroyed me.

You are damned.

Damn your father that

got me pregnant with you.

With this jinx.

With this sickness.

- What's wrong, Katina?

- Why are you cursing on a night

like this? A holy night,

the Virgin's son's night.

Don't make him angry

or he won't resurrect.

He will stay in the ground.

They stole from my son, those dogs.

They slaughtered his dog.

They will put him in jail.

Damn my hunger.

The dog? Who killed the dog?

Who could kill a dog?

Never before...

Tell me, dear shepherds.

Has anyone of you ever saw

ever heard here in our land

during the old times or nowadays

that a boss, a boss I tell you

stole and slaughtered

his own herd?

That harmed his own belongings?

- Man and goats?

- Shut up. Shut up, you imbecile!

Your mother is right.

You're worth nothing.

Where were you hidding when they

were slaughtering your sheep and dog?

You are a useless shepherd. Not

even worthy of the money they give you.

- You are a liar.

- Go away! Go to hell! Jinx!

Mother.

Mother.

Come on, please.

Send me away. Ask me to leave.

Give me your blessing

to go to Australia.

Let me go.

Get up immediately. Wash up,

shave and go to the church

and wait for your boss. After the

church ends, plead for forgiveness.

Not only from him but

from his son too.

I'm hungry and so are you.

Come on then, get up.

- I don't have a razor.

- When you're away I'm as good as dead.

When you're here, you are

the dead body.

By cursing you I feel alive.

But you'll soon live since I'm

gonna burst from cursing you.

I'm going to find you a razor.

Wait here.

Blue beads!

Shepherds! Come quickly!

Listen up! I found it!

- But what is happening tonight?

- What now?

- Who's shouting?

- Haralambos. It's me, Haralampos.

- I found it!

- Are they all dead, Haralampos?

- All our animals?

- All of them. They were cursed and died.

The spells became wind and

blew up their guts.

- They were cursed, woman.

- You're being crazy again, shepherdess.

Search for the curse

in your own head.

Shut up you doctor! I'm telling you

again. They died because they...
