Let's go, guys...

Come over here.

Good fish, right?

Thanks!

OK, it's all of us?

All of us together?

All together.

My hand went numb.

I'm all wet! I'm going in.

Spray some over here.

Attention please. Tonight we'll begin

our return trip towards Athens.

Anyone planning to dive again

today, please inform the crew.

Thank you.

There must be a lot of fish

over by that cliff.

Did you see the bream I missed?

The second one?

Huge fish.

- Really?

- I had it like that.

And? It disappeared.

Dimitris...

I think you need to start diving too.

I'm a little scared.

There are beautiful rocks down there,

perfect for your collection.

Like that. Dead on.

It looked at me.

It turned, to run..

You, you don't get scared?

At first I was.

What's in this?

Cream cheese.

Lettuce, tomato, and cheese?

You, Yorgos? How deep do you go?

Fifteen meters on a good day.

- Christos too.

- With tanks?

Tanks? No.

- Yannis, what did you catch?

- A couple of breams.

- Breams, eh? How many?

- Two or three.

- Big ones?

- Not big. Medium.

But it's hard to catch breams...

They're fast.

It takes skill to catch them.

It isn't easy.

These are terrible.

Anyway...

I'm leaving you now.

- This afternoon we'll dive again?

- You bet.

Yorgos...

Your glasses.

Thanks.

- Will you dive again later?

- Yes.

Can I come with you?

Another time. When the

water is safer.

We'll do a dive lesson first...

to check your breathing...

I have very strong lungs.

Much better than my brother's.

I've never smoked.

I'm just a little chubby...

You've also got a bit of

a spare tire.

But with some muscle.

Do you want to see how long

I can hold my breath?

- Now?

- Yes.

OK, show me.

- Press here, on to start.'

Ready?

Go!

Okay. That's good. Well done.

- How long?

- Eighteen seconds.

Once I lasted to 22.

Great.

I'm going to go rest now.

Talk to you later. OK?

Today's nautical weather forecasts

a high of 16 degrees

and winds from the southwest.

Thank you.

You must admit my stamina

is much better

since I gave up smoking.

You have incredible discipline.

You're doing really well.

Hello, sweetheart, how are you?

Good. We're all fine.

We went diving.

This morning.

Yes. Your husband too.

He caught some breams.

Not too big.

And Christos...

got a giant Dentex.

There.

Turn it.

Little more.

My baby.

I think you've gone overboard

with the pebbles.

I need to pee, and I've got

to move them.

Okay.

I'd love to find a pebble

that's totally round.

Almost a perfect sphere.

Think how amazing it'd be,

to find a pebble like that

since 99% of all pebbles...

aren't round.

Found any?

No.

But maybe I haven't

looked hard enough.

I did find this one.

It's pretty close to a sphere.

And by looking at it I can say

its volume is about 33ml.

Know why?

Because volume is 4/3 pi R cubed, and

this one's radius is about 2cm...

So 2 cubed is 8,

times pi, is about 25 and a bit...

4.8.

11.2.

- 82.

- 16.4.

9.2.

I got confused.

Okay, okay...

Anyway I won't keep you any longer.

Have a good drive.

And please don't drive too fast. Okay?

Think about your old Dad.

He worries.

Goodbye, Anna. Goodbye,

my child.

To the sink please.

And this one too.

Bowl.

Attention, please.

Tonight we'll perform minor repairs

to our generator.

As we do this work, the ship may

briefly lose main power.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you.

Nope.

You're out.

The answer was Mr. Nikolaou.

None of you got it, so I win.

Please tell us how Mr. Nikolaou

looks like a panda.

It's my subjective opinion.

He looks like a panda because

his body type exudes kindness...

He's got a beard, dark circles

under his eyes...

like a teddy-bear.

I don't mind being a panda.

Excuse me, but the panda is an animal

with a very large body-type.

Yes Christos, but a baby panda

has a small body-type.

Exactly. Small panda, small body.

Wrong.

A panda, of any age,

is a plump animal.

This guy is oblong!

Christos is right.

You have to say baby panda.

- It's not important.

- It's not important?

It's very important.

No, you should have asked

how old the panda was.

I like that you

called me a panda.

Hang on. This game is about

how we see each other.

We don't have to agree.

Shouldn't it refer to a

common perception?

But that's it!

It's because there's no such

common perception

that the game even works!

That absence is the whole

point of the game!

Fine, and yet you must,

with every answer...

Not every answer.

Every answer.

Every answer has to express somehow

the essence of the person you're

thinking of.

Are you going to censor

what I see,

if that's what I see?

- He's right.

- About what?

I think Dimitris has a point.

He likes being unconventional.

I think there has to be consistency

in terms of common sense.

Let's call it that: common sense.

Precisely.

Fine. You may all think

I'm wrong to see

a resemblance between

Mr. Nikolaou and a panda.

But I will not retract it!

Can we continue, now?

Who's next?

Okay.

I've got someone.

If he was clothing?

He'd be... a blue vest.

If he was fruit?

Pineapple.

If he was a lighter?

- What do you mean?

- It's a dumb question.

I mean, an expensive lighter

or a plastic one?

It's a dumb question.

- He'd be... a plastic lighter.

- I think I got it.

Careful, if you're wrong you're out.

Wrong.

If I were clothing I'd be a blue vest?

That makes no sense.

And there's no way in hell,

if I'm a fruit, I'm a pineapple.

Pineapple for sure.

Take back, right now,

that if I were a fruit, I'd

be a pineapple.

- Take it back now.

- I'm not taking back anything.

It's unfounded!

- You're a pineapple.

- It's unfounded!

If he was...

a state in the United States

of America?

The cabin boy.

The cabin boy?

Yes. It's the cabin boy.

How did you know?

See that? Now who's the pineapple?

Congratulations.

You have two points and

you're ahead so far.

Thank you.

Who's going next?

I'm not playing anymore.

I'm tired and I'm bored of this game.

OK. I'd be bored too,

and give up, if I were losing.

Just because you can guess

who's a kiwi and who's a pineapple,

doesn't mean you're better than us.

In case you're wondering,

you're not the best in general.

You're the best at

that particular game.

Only.

All right, then let's play the game

Of The Best in General...

How about it?

But wait, actually we can't play that,

because that game doesn't exist.

Pity.

Why don't we play something else?

Cards, let's say.

Unfortunately I don't know

how to play cards.

I know a game we can play...

but I don't know if we can

finish it before we get back.

What game?

I played it last year with friends.

It's very simple.

Each of us thinks up a contest

where we all compete.

Anything you want.

A physical test or

a mental challenge.

We each score each other.

And he with the most points, wins.

Sounds fun.

Well, I'm...

I'm not sleepy. I'll play it.

But now that I think about it...

we can't play that without
