by the bridge, okay?
Yes.
I must run ahead.
Please,
it's important.
Hey,
where ya goin'?
Good-bye!
Yianni, wait!
Wait for me!
(panting)
Yianni!
(no sound
from buzzer)
(no sound
from buzzer)
(man)
Come on, Coupas!
Hurry up,
let's go!
Yianni,
what's the matter?
I just missed
Coupas.
Yianni,
what is it?
What do you want
from Mr. Coupas?
Nothing.
I can't tell you.
Come, I'll take
you home.
All right, if that's
what you want.
Let's meet Helen.
Okay, but for a couple
minutes, that's all.
All right.
Here they come now.
Where have you been?
We've been
waiting for you.
I'm sorry, Jack,
about what happened before.
Well, that's
all right.
What happened?
It's been
a long day.
We'll talk
about it later.
Good-bye, Jack.
He's coming up with us,
we've decided.
I've decided.
I'm glad.
I'll charm the family
with my magic smile.
He's calmed down.
(dripping)
(door opens)
I'll take
your coat.
Now, just
be natural.
Hello, mother.
This is
Jack Fields.
You remember,
I told you about him.
We both work in the
same office together.
How do you do?
Hello.
How are you?
Sit down, please.
We had a wonderful
day today.
Wasn't it fun?
Yes.
It's getting
chilly out.
Maybe the boys
would like some brandy.
Jack's in the accounting
department in Helen's office.
I'll get
the cognac.
Accounting?
Accounting,
yes.
We keep a record
of all the money
that comes in and
goes out of the office.
A funny thing
happened last week.
Did Helen tell
you about it?
Well, this fella
in the office, Jim Kelly,
put down the date
as the figure
for the accounts
receivable
and was $15,000 short
in his accounts.
(Jack and Helen laugh)
Well, a toast, to the
accounting department
and the Greek
Merchant Marine.
Excuse me.
I have to go
in the kitchen.
I'll play some American jazz
records for you, Yianni.
What's the matter,
mama?
I'm afraid of
this boy.
Afraid of him?
Why?
He's hiding
something.
Jack?
No, not Jack.
The other one.
What do you
mean, Mama?
(papa)
Oh, boy.
this little one for a long time.
Look,
blisters almost.
The groceries, the olive oil,
the olives,
cheese,
some sardines.
Hey, your relatives
eat even more than mine.
Hey, Maria.
This Jack
is a big boy.
I forgot,
George will be late.
I want-- I want
to talk to you.
(doorbell jingles)
(woman)
Hello.
(Nike)
Hello. How are you?
Hello,
Uncle Peter.
(woman)
Hello, Nike.
How are you?
(overlapping greetings)
(papa)
Hello, hello...
(overlapping conversations)
Hi.
(overlapping
conversations)
Are you looking
for this?
It was
my father's.
Take it and go.
He gave it to me
before he died.
Guns have
no place in our home.
(Nike)
Yianni?
Hey, this is the boy who
just arrived from Greece.
My cousin, Jim.
What did you
say to him?
I told him
to leave.
(papa)
Nike!
(Nike)
Yianni, wait.
I have to go.
I must talk
to you.
No, I have
to go.
Yianni, I know what
you're going to do.
I know you're going
to kill Pano Coupas.
He deserves to die.
That's insane,
Yianni.
I don't know why you want
to do this, but you can't.
I don't think you can
understand these things.
You better go
back inside.
I can't let you
do this.
Why are you
so stub--
He must pay for
the death of my sister.
Coupas was born in
a village next to ours.
He left when he was a boy
and came to America.
When he was rich and fat
he came back to find a wife.
So my sister asked my father's
permission to court her.
My father didn't want to at
first, but we are very poor,
and he thought
she would have a good
life, so he agreed.
I don't
understand.
She couldn't face
the disgrace.
Disgrace?
He dishonored her.
He never intended to marry her,
just to satisfy his lust.
Yianni.
My sister couldn't look
into her mirror again.
She knew where my
father's gun was kept.
She knew
how to use it.
No.
gone to sleep,
my sister took the gun
and went to the kitchen.
I saw many horrible things
during the war,
but nothing like what we
found after we heard the shot.
Awful.
How would
you know?
Well, Yianni...
You can't go out
and kill this man.
You don't
understand.
You can't
judge him.
I do not
judge him.
Any man would
do the same.
Listen to me, Yianni.
I know what you feel,
but you mustn't do this thing.
Why are you so
concerned with Coupas?
I'm not.
I'm worried
about you.
Now it's you
who doesn't understand.
Yianni.
It happened
to you too.
So many things have
happened all at once.
What's happened to us
is what's important.
I wish...
You'd be throwing
your life away.
I cannot live unless
I do this thing.
I cannot stand
by my father's grave.
You do not know
what honor means!
Yianni.
Leave me alone!
You don't have to
do this.
How can you kiss me and
go out and shoot this Coupas?
Are you some kind
of a monster?
You're afraid to
give up this idea.
You can see things
only one way.
You belong to your
village and to your gun.
You're not
your own man.
(slap, Nike gasps)
Andros!
You fool-- what do
you think you're doing?
How did you
find me?
You didn't stay
on your watch.
What are you
doing here?
Jimmy had to
take your place.
You better
go away.
Leave me alone.
You know, on a ship you're
supposed to do your job.
It wasn't my turn.
You told our captain
to put me on.
I had to
do something.
You're muddling in something
that doesn't concern you.
You're going in there to kill a
man and it doesn't concern me?
Nobody will stop me.
You can get away with
that in your mountains
but here they got
laws and police.
In my village,
I will be safe.
My people understand
what has to be done.
You'll never
get back there.
Life is not just one big
thing, like your vendetta.
It's a lot of
little things.
Like having a home and
a wife to share it with you.
Love... kids to
carry on your name.
It's a lot of thing you
never even tasted, Yianni.
My father would
have done it this way.
So would mine.
But our fathers never traveled
Sometimes you gotta
change the rules.
Let's go back
to the ship.
I'm all mixed up.
You can
think there.
Coupas will be here if you
still wanna come back.
Come on.
Wait a minute.
There are some people
I want to say good-bye to.
They were very
nice to me.
You wanna bother?
Yes...
there's a girl.
All right.
(overlapping
conversations)
(doorbell jingles)
I would like to
speak to Nike.
Nike?
Nike?
This is
George Andros.
We're shipmates.
How do you do?
I want to
say good-bye.
I've decided to go
back to my ship.
Please stay.
I'm glad you've
come back.
You are
a seaman?
This is my
first trip.
He's been trying
to see Pano Coupas.
Coupas?
Oh, Coupas.
He'll be in
church tomorrow.
He, with his
candles.
(laughs)
I met him
on the street.
Had a little talk
with him.
Thank you.
