a chevalier signet ring.

Why the ring?

Because whoever wins,

puts on the ring and wears it

until the next game.

We'll give him something else.

It doesn't have to be a ring.

We can't do that.

How can we play a game

called Le Chevalier,

and then give the winner...

something like a glass of

water, or a vase?

We could play a game called chevalier.

Doc, what if, just to get started,

you lend us your own

chevalier ring?

Don't be ridiculous.

Trivial Pursuit?

Sure. Whatever you guys want.

I do not play Trivial Pursuit.

Yeah, I was just kidding.

Fine. OK.

Why don't we start this game now,

and when we get back to Athens,

we'll get a ring.

Yorgos, are you playing?

I'll play... if we change

the game a little bit.

Meaning?

When do we arrive?

Hopefully tomorrow night.

Okay, so I propose, until then,

we don't judge each other

only on the chosen contests...

But?

But on everything.

Everything we do.

How we speak.

Loudly? Slowly?

What words we use.

How we laugh.

If we show our teeth when we smile.

How we look,

and how we look at each other.

How we walk.

Why we walk and we don't sit down.

How we think.

Everything.

And whoever is the best,

at everything,

he wears the chevalier.

In other words, the game

Of The Best in General.

I'm fine with it. I'll

play it like that.

When you say we'll grade each

other on everything,

what do you mean?

Whether we kill sea-urchins,

for example?

Whether we kill sea-urchins or whether

our pants ride up too high.

My pants don't ride up too high.

They do, and you can ask anyone.

Do my pants ride up too high?

I think it's an okay height.

An okay height. See?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Nice underwear. Striped.

His posture is excellent.

Straight back, straight neck.

I don't think he's asleep.

How can he be asleep already?

He's asleep.

It's odd he doesn't sleep nude,

although he's a nudist.

That's because he's not asleep.

I don't like the way he's sleeping.

His body posture is too perfect.

I don't like what I'm seeing.

That's because he's not asleep.

He's asleep.

I don't know if I buy it.

Still, his underwear is nice.

The captain and the crew would like

to wish you good morning.

The temperature today will range

from 9 to 20 degrees Celsius.

Thank you.

How many fillings do you have?

Two.

And one root canal.

Did you have your teeth

cleaned recently?

Four months ago.

How many times a day do you brush?

Three.

Maybe... it's not enough.

I should do it more often.

Good morning.

Good morning.

It must be abandoned, eh?

Great day for jet-skiing!

Bravo, Josef.

Do I have time for breakfast?

Yes, grab a bite.

What will you have?

Coffee for sure, and maybe

some lemon cake.

How do you like your coffee?

Espresso. No sugar.

A splash of milk.

Evaporated milk.

I never put milk in my espresso.

Especially not evaporated milk.

Not that it's wrong.

I just don't like it.

Sure.

Josef!

Everyone is awake, we're

ready! Come on!

Can I go around again?

No.

What were you telling them?

You weren't really asleep.

You heard us.

As a favor, because you begged,

I brought you.

Or else you'd be in Athens now,

with mom.

Don't be ungrateful.

I only observed that nobody could

be asleep in such a perfect pose.

If you hit me again,

I'll tell everyone.

And I'll tell everyone you're

afraid to sleep alone.

Tell them. I don't care.

For polishing silver, there's a

secret few people know.

Toothpaste.

You won't believe it.

I wish you good luck.

I'm done.

I win.

I finished first.

Congratulations.

The spoons aren't perfect.

The tray? It looks dull.

It's silver-plated, not silver.

It's brass, that's why it

looks like that.

The spoons aren't perfect.

It's terrible.

It's silver-plated. It

doesn't get any cleaner.

Well you don't usually see the bottom.

What's wrong with it?

Help.

Help!

Help!

What happened?

You're the first who came.

Congratulations.

- What happened?

- Help!

Okay stop, that's enough.

Will you stop? The Doctor is sleeping.

In a contest like this, the Doctor's

the most important.

Exactly because he's a doctor.

Help!

What is it, what's happening?

The others said you wouldn't wake up,

but I told them you would.

- What's happening?

- You came last, eh?

Yeah.

Who got here first?

Yorgos, and me second.

Attention, please. We'd like

to kindly inform you

that on tonight's menu the cheesecake

has been replaced by lemon pie.

Thank you and we apologize

for any inconvenience.

Yannis, you're wearing shoes.

Sorry.

We never wear shoes inside the boat.

We went over that.

- What was your time?

- 18:
01.

Not bad.

How's Anna?

Anna?

She's fine.

How long since you've seen her?

Long time.

Since our Christmas party last year?

Yeah.

You haven't seen her since?

No.

She's terrific.

She's very happy.

I think... the happiest

she's been in her life.

She nags me a bit,

when I get home late from work.

She cut her hair short and it

doesn't suit her, but...

Anyway it'll grow back.

She's fine.

We were thinking of buying

a camera like yours.

Especially if Anna manages

to get pregnant,

we'll need a good camera.

How much did yours cost?

I don't remember.

Have you considered it might be you

who has the problem?

I don't think so...

If Anna were 3 or 4 years younger,

she wouldn't have a problem.

Yannis, do you remember me

being an insurance agent,

and advising you on your

homeowner's policy?

No.

And do you know why I haven't?

Why?

Because I'm not an insurance agent.

So.

Don't play doctor for me,

and I won't play insurance

agent for you.

Have a good rest.

Don't put it out.

I won't tell anyone you smoke.

I wasn't smoking.

But I saw you.

Listen, it's okay.

I won't tell anyone.

You can come to my cabin and

smoke whenever you want.

Thank you.

I fell in love with a shepherdess...

a much admired maiden,

But I loved her very much

And I was still a songless bird,

And I was still a songless bird,

A boy of only ten.

Some tea with honey?

No, thanks.

Do you think he's impotent?

Impotent in general?

Unable to have children.

We can find out easily enough.

Bring him in to get tested.

At the clinic.

No, no.

It's not right. To force him?

Force him.

To come in and prove

to us that he's...

fertile.

We don't know anything about

their private life.

Do they use protection?

We don't know.

Is she on the pill?

Does he insist? We don't know.

You know Anna, she's sensitive.

She doesn't talk.

She doesn't tell me what's going on.

On the one hand that's a good thing.

I don't want her being dependent...

Being totally dependent on me...

Which she is, to a certain degree,

because it's something I strive for...

And I acknowledge this

weakness of mine.

I don't even know why you invited him.

And he's also terrible at

spear-fishing.

Christos!

Come, join me.

A reminder that shoes must be removed

before entering the main cabin area

of the ship. Thank you.

Want a sausage?

No.

Let me ask you.

Sea-urchin salad. How do
