Okay, you don't need this.

And don't beat yourself up.

I know that if the doctor

had insisted a bit more,

you would have done it.

I've given you really high points.

That's great.

And to Christos?

Christos too.

But more points to you... so far.

I've given you high points too.

Wasn't I doing fine until today?

You certainly were.

And you'll keep on doing well.

Finished!

Finished!

Finished.

Finished.

Where'd that thing go?

I'm done.

What happened?

What happened?

The instructions were confusing.

They weren't clear at all!

Not to me anyway.

Okay, don't fret.

Maybe it was defective?

You think so?

Well, it's too late now.

These eggplants aren't

good for stuffing.

We needed the

flask-shaped ones.

I told you again and again.

- I'm sorry.

- Sorry's no good.

I can't work with these eggplants.

You have to go back and

get the right ones.

Yes, sir.

And what about the way to cook them?

You remember what I taught you?

We cut them in half,

salt them,

and leave them for 20 minutes.

Enough.

Go get the flask-shaped

ones and get back here.

Right away.

What will you get?

Flask-shaped ones.

What will you get?

Flask-shaped ones.

Blood sugar.

Normal levels are from 70... to 110.

If you're within that range,

raise your hand so we can see you.

Fine.

Cholesterol.

Maybe...

Should we do creatinine first?

No, cholesterol comes first.

Christos?

- Yes?

- 260.

260, Christos?

I thought you were watching

your nutrition.

That's not good.

I too thought you were

watching your nutrition.

As for me I can easily call

and have that chest X-ray

brought here.

If you'd like.

Triglycerides.

You were good on the phone. Thanks.

You helped me a lot.

They were all convinced we're

very happy together.

I don't know why...

I'm stressed out.

No, I'm doing OK, but...

I don't know...

You're right. I will.

You're right.

Do you think my thighs are fat?

Are you sure?

I'm the best.

I'm the best, I'm the best,

I'm the best...

My thighs aren't fat.

I'm the best, I'm the best...

I don't have high cholesterol.

I have low cholesterol!

I'm the best!

I don't bite my nails.

No - I do bite my nails! And

I'm the best!

Are you cold?

Me? No.

Why, is it cold?

- Are you cold?

- No.

Doctor, are you cold?

Are you kidding?

Not at all.

I must admit, I am a little cold.

Wouldn't it be great,

to always be on holiday?

That would really be perfect.

You're cold?

No.

I do apologize. I never...

That hardly ever happens...

It's probably all that garlic in the

stuffed eggplants.

Dimitris?

Will you show us what you prepared?

It's very impressive.

Well...

It's nothing really.

You're being modest.

It's very impressive.

Come on.

What you did was totally idiotic.

And dangerous, in this wind.

Those fireworks aren't meant for that.

I did it...

Dimitris was singing, and...

and it seemed like a good idea.

I'm sorry.

It had nothing to do with

Dimitris's song.

It was unnecessary.

It both endangered your brother,

and was pointless.

It wasn't relevant, and it

was ridiculous.

It was relevant.

And everyone loved it, didn't you?

I liked it.

For me it was okay, I didn't mind.

It didn't really fit.

Oh, it didn't fit?

It fit!

It fit absolutely, and that's final.

You're unfair, Doc, because

if someone else did it,

you wouldn't reprimand him,

you'd reward him.

If Christos did it, you'd praise him.

You'd say Good job, Christos,

my boy!

Well I'm more...

than Christos.

Did you know I sold 170 insurance

policies last year?

Can you even grasp that number? 170.

So tell Christos to make a baby

with your daughter,

because me? I don't really want one.

If he can, that is.

Because Anna said...

Little Christos didn't do

so well there.

Yannis,

shut up.

You think Anna hasn't told me?

She told me what a loser you were.

That you made her lick your feet

to get a hard-on.

It made her sick!

And so did the gifts you gave her!

Picture frames? Dumb greeting

cards that play music?

And desk sets!

She showed me your gifts and

we laughed.

We still laugh at you.

Apologize.

- Apologize.

- No.

Apologize.

No.

And if you must know, Anna

wanted that stuff!

She wanted that desk set!

I didn't choose it alone!

But you have no taste, Christos.

Your taste sucks.

It's a fact, what can I do?

Apologize. Apologize now.

A little lower please...

I can't reach your feet

to lick them!

So you can get hard and f***

Anna and make a baby!

Apologize!

Take off your shoes!

A desk set with a compass,

a letter-opener...

a pen and a paperweight!

Apologize!

What a lovely letter-opener!

What a lovely paperweight!

What wonderful gifts!

I'll put them on my desk!

Josef, take him inside!

You know that Anna still loves me!

And those cards! So romantic!

Oh! They play music!

Oh, I love you, Christos!

I love you!

I love your gifts!

Christos I love you!

I'm crazy about you, Christos!

Lick my feet, Christos!

Sorry.

Sorry.

If someone gets hypoxia while diving,

is it very dangerous?

Can you die?

Yes, it's dangerous.

The last time we dove,

Yorgos got hypoxia.

Luckily I saw him in time.

Until I took him to the surface

and saw him breathing,

I was really scared.

When I think that he

could have died...

It's horrible.

I don't even want to think about it.

Let me ask you something.

Gladly.

Do you think Yorgos is better than me?

Look, I know it's a weird question.

And you can't be objective,

because of our long-time friendship

and your devotion to me,

which is mutual of course,

but I would like to know.

If you think he's better than me.

I know you don't think so,

but I want to hear it myself.

Christos will win, won't he?

Or Yorgos.

Or Christos.

Christos or Yorgos?

Yorgos, or me?

The finalists are Yorgos and Christos.

The Doctor?

The Doctor is next to last.

He's very agitated.

He kept playing with his

chevalier ring,

taking it off, putting it on,

until his finger swelled,

and he asked me for some ice.

Then he asked me to get

him cigarettes.

A carton.

It's just like I predicted.

Nikolaou last.

The Doctor next to last.

How could he possibly have won,

the way he's going so bald?

Why are you staring at me?

Your hair's beginning to

fall out as well.

Here,

and here.

I hold you all in high regard...

you and your families.

I hold you all in high regard...

you and your families.

So...

I just wanted to...

on this occasion I

just wanted to say...

I hold you all in high regard.

You and your families.

But I have to admit, I feel,

as if I've won already.

Regardless of what

your final vote decides.

I want to thank everyone who

gave me high points,

but also those who gave

me low points,

because thanks to your

criticism and comments

I have become a better person.

All these days with you, you've

taught me many things.

About underwater fishing,

about making sea urchin salad,

Christos,

meteorology...

oceanography...

astronomy...

And Doc,

You taught me something I wanted
