-That's great, Tia.

-Slow down, you'll burn your mouth.

-Here, read mine first.

-Like your priorities, sis.

[Alex] You're giving me the shits.

-I can see a snake

being trodden on by someone.

-Hey, that's a good sign.

-What's the job, Mum?

Garbage collector? [laughs]

-There's no one, Tia.

[Joe] Nah, Ari, I know the one.

We met her last week, what's her name?

The one with the hair.

-Stella, that's it.

-Stella?

-There's no Stella, Tia, he's kidding.

-No, no, no, Ari man,

I reckon she could...

-That's enough, get out, both of you.

Something's troubling you.

-I'm moving out.

I'm serious, Tia.

-You're too young.

Get a job.

Wait until you have money of your own.

[sighs]

The cups don't lie.

I saw the face.

-I'm not.

-Find a girl.

Get married.

[upbeat music]

-What do you think?

-You look gorgeous.

I believe it to the day I die

She could always make me cry

Singing her sweet lullabies

And all that I could see

Lights on the brimming sea

Sad, so sad

I'll make my life there

So long

Gonna come out

See you later

There's lots going on inside.

-How many guys you reckon you f***ed?

-I don't know.

Hundreds, I suppose.

-You ever been in love?

-Every time, sugar.

-No, I mean really in love.

-Love is a beautiful thing, Ari.

It's the way I live

Dancing in the sky

Sign of water

I'm your daughter

Lots of feathers, fluffy and pink...

-You know sometimes...

when you're in the middle of a f***,

you look into that person's eyes.

I've seen things, you know.

I've felt things.

Nice things.

But then I blow and that's it.

No more nice things,

I just wanna get the f*** out of there.

-You're such a slut.

[laughter]

[screams]

[laughs]

Come out with me tonight.

I'll get rid of the crier.

Let's go dancing.

-No.

I'm going to the Steki.

-Who with?

-Joe and his girlfriend.

-Why do you still

hang around with that malaka?

[door opens]

[man] Johnny.

-What?

Ari.

[speaking in foreign language]

[man replies in foreign language]

-Sh*t, Johnny.

-Hey.

-Yes.

You got a job yet?

[laughs]

-No, you?

[laughs]

-No.

No job.

F***ed up country, Ari.

F***ed up country.

-He's good.

[door shuts]

I will.

Thanks, Tia.

-Go f*** yourself,

you drunk as f*** animal.

Just get used to it.

[laughs]

-Hey.

You f*** a few girls for me tonight, huh?

-Hey.

We'll go out tomorrow night.

OK?

[upbeat music]

[panting]

[upbeat music]

[knocking on door]

[Alex] It's me.

[chuckles]

-Hey, you look sexy.

-Where you going?

-I'm seeing Charlie.

Can you drop me off?

-Does Mum know?

-I told her I was going out with you.

We're gonna f*** tonight.

You don't like him, do you?

-I don't trust him.

-Why?

[Sophia] Dinner's ready.

-I'm not hungry.

-I'm not gonna tell you what to do.

-Good.

-Does this mean I get my vibrator back?

Gonna see tonight

Wanna tell you she's out of sight...

-I couldn't remember

when this song came out.

-You always say that.

As if we care,

you didn't even write the bloody song.

Mama.

Want a whisky?

Doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo

I'm walking home

I'm walking home

To you.

[speaks Greek]

[music stops]

-I think I can feel a Greek record

coming on.

[upbeat Greek music]

[singing in Greek]

[speaks Greek]

[Sophia exclaims in Greek]

[Sophia and Dimitri speaking in Greek]

[singing in Greek]

-In the good old days with Vassilli, eh?

He sends his regards to you.

He'd really like to see you, Dad.

It's not his fault.

Johnny's got a right to live his life.

Because he's my friend.

-Ari, you still going dancing

with Joe and Dina tonight?

-Probably.

No way.

No way, I got the right to do what I want.

Bullshit, bullshit!

[keys jangle]

[door slams]

-Where are you going tonight?

-I told you.

-You're too young to be going out.

-I don't want a lecture.

-Alex.

-This house feels like a prison.

-I've worked hard

all my life for you kids

and you have all let me down.

-Mum, live your own life.

For Christ's sake,

stop living it through us.

[door slams]

-Mama.

-What, Ari? What?

Ari.

-Yes, Mama?

-It's your job to look after your sister.

Please.

For me.

Look after her tonight.

-Sure.

[upbeat music and indistinct chatter]

-Tell them, Joe.

Go on, tell them.

Joe and I are getting engaged.

-When did this happen?

-Couple of days ago.

-We only just decided.

[chuckles] Cool.

-We're not going to rush into

getting married or anything, but you know.

-That's great.

Congratulations, eh?

-Thanks.

[sighs]

[laughter]

[upbeat pop song]

[music stops]

[theme from Shaft plays]

-What'd you take that one off for?

-Be friendly, Ari, huh?

-You think I'm a dumb f*** wog, don't you?

-Never said that.

-Yeah, but that's what you think.

-Yeah, OK, so you're a wog.

-Oh my god, how embarrassing.

[laughs]

I like this song.

[laughs]

[background chatter]

-You really know what you want, Dina?

-What's there to know, Ari?

-Don't you want to have new experiences?

-Well, when Joe and I get married

I'd like to go to Greece.

-Why don't you go now?

-I can't go now.

-Why wait?

-I can't go on my own.

Mm-mm.

-Go on.

Go on.

[theme from Shaft continues]

Don't you want to be free?

-No, Ari.

I just want to muck around.

Have fun, enjoy my friends, that's all.

-Sometimes I feel like screaming,

like singing.

Do you ever feel like that?

[chuckles] I can't sing.

Oh no, ask Joe.

I cannot sing.

[both laugh]

-Why do you want to marry Joe?

-I love him.

I guess.

[Alex] You guys must be right off your

face.

-The f*** you doing smoking inside?

This place stinks.

-Do you want some speed?

I said if I'm in luck

I just might get picked up

I said I'm fishin' trick

and you can call it what you want then

I said I'm wigglin' my fanny

I want you dancing

I'm movin' it, movin' it...

-You seen that film, The Grifters?

-Yeah, Anjelica Huston was so cool.

-You reckon I look like John Cusack?

-No.

Say you will, say you will

Oh if I'm walking like I should

maybe you might pick me up

If I'm looking real good

maybe you might pick me up

Or if I know what to say

maybe you might pick me up

If I met you tonight babe

maybe you might pick me up

Take me home, take me home with you

Take me home

Baby please take me home

Take me home with you, take me home

I said if I'm in luck

maybe you might pick me up

All I wanna do

is just love you a little bit

So come on, say you will, say you will

Baby say you will

Take me home, take me home

Will you take me home

[both panting]

All I wanna do

is just love you a little bit

I said if I'm in luck

maybe you might pick me up

Come on, take me home

Take me home

Take me home

Take me home, take me home with you

Take me home...

[breathing becoming heavier]

Say you will, say you will

If I'm in luck

maybe you might pick me up

Take me home, take me home with you

Oh, if I'm in luck

maybe you might pick me up

Say you will, say you will,

say you will baby

Take me home, take me home with you

Take me home.

-Would you rather I was John Cusack?
