...everybody was crying.
Me?
I got up...
...and I danced.
They said:
"Zorba is mad."
But it was the dancing...
...only the dancing
that stopped the pain.
You see, he was my first.
And he was only 3.
When I'm happy...
...it's the same thing.
Come inside. You'll catch cold.
With your permission.
Now...
...will you tell me
what this is all about?
- I got a plan.
- What plan?
A great, big, crazy plan.
Well, what?
- I cannot tell you.
- Why?
I got many things to be figuring:
trees, monks, machines.
Tomorrow, maybe.
Tonight we celebrate.
Come on! Don't be delicate.
- Boss.
- What?
Come and see.
Do you remember that plan
I could not tell you about?
- Here it is.
- What is it?
It's a mountain. That one.
Oh, yes.
Look.
That's the way
we'll get the trees down.
An overhead cable? You're mad.
Why?
Well, to begin with
that forest doesn't belong to us.
Well it doesn't, and it does.
What does that mean?
It belongs to the monastery.
And God belongs to everybody.
You agree?
No, I certainly don't.
All right,
you will pay them something...
...but not much.
- How do you know?
They are friends of mine.
If it works, we will bring down
the whole forest.
First we get the mine going.
Then open a timber factory.
We get stinking rich, then make our
own ship and sail around the world.
Aren't you going a little too fast?
Do you know how old I am?
Never mind, that's a secret.
But I have got to go fast.
You know, they... They say that
age kills the fire inside of a man.
He opens the door and says,
"Come in. Give me rest."
That is a pack of old damn lies!
to devour the world.
So I fight.
Well? Do we?
Or do we let the mountain win?
Tell me what you need.
I will need some strong wire,
hooks and... And things.
I will have to go to town.
I still have to figure out the angle.
If it's not perfect,
it will be catastrophe.
How long will it take you?
The way things are going,
it had better be soon or not at all.
I'll give you until Christmas.
Hey, boss.
Rose water.
- Boss?
- Well? What news?
I made a great discovery.
Stones are alive.
Well, that's fine.
Well, I wish instead you'd discover
your famous angle.
I'm trying, boss.
- Look, your umbrella.
- Never mind.
Just let me remind you
that tomorrow's Christmas.
I know.
Wh..? Where are you going?
I need some wire.
Where the hell did I put it?
Won't this string do?
Excuse me.
Look.
A melomakarouna.
- A what?
- A Christmas cookie.
Well, what's so strange about that?
Nothing.
But many melomakarouna inside
