Highway to Hellas Page #2

Where? Where?

I don't speak Greek.

You're cute...

You don't understand a word,

and don't speak a word.

Thank you.

Jrg. Jrg Geissner.

Sh*t!

Sorry, Mrs Laichinger?

That was an accident, but...

I'm doing fine.

I'll call again later.

What Paladiki also has

is an undersea power cable.

15 centimetres thick,

it runs 260 kilometres

across the seabed to the mainland,

supplying us with electricity.

That's the good news.

The bad news is:

An undersea cable

is not an electric power plant.

Which has never been

a problem until now.

That's why we need a power plant!

Bye, you nutcase.

And keep the whiskers.

- The what?

- Your beard. Keep it.

Okay.

- Can you turn the sign around?

- This here?

Hi there!

Good morning.

Morning.

- Didn't I see you at Mr Kante...

- Kantelirakis.

- Right. Didn't I see you there?

-It's possible.

Yes, I'm quite sure of it.

Anyway, I'd like to rent a car.

I don't rent out cars anymore.

I'm sorry.

But I have a good alternative.

This is where we are.

And that's where you have to go.

You're kidding, right?

You'll love it.

I'm not going to ride around

on a donkey!

Why not? Just try it.

This is to go right,

that's to go left.

4O for the donkey

and 5 for the map.

We'll take care of it later.

Good luck.

- You think this will work?

- It will.

We'll start work today.

Damned goats!

Which idiot brought those animals

to our island?

Those animals are subsidised!

They finance the island!

- You mean like the power plant?

- Leave me alone!

Say...

Can you keep the German spy

away from here for a few days?

That's the least of our problems.

Right. Right. Right!

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Oh, God. Hang on.

- Hello, Dr Laichinger.

- Geissner, where are you?

- Hello?

- Hello, what's the situation?

- Why are you whispering?

- I can't speak openly.

I see.

- But you don't have to whisper.

-That's right.

- So, what's the situation?

- Yes, uh...

To be honest, right now

things are going a bit slowly.

We're having

some transportation problems.

I hope they haven't sent you off

on a donkey!

It's not that bad.

I can't ride anyway.

But today I might not

be able to visit both...

- The situation is serious!

-I know it's serious.

- Stay on it, Geissner.

-Yes, I'll stay on it, Dr...

Damn it!

When I say right, I mean right!

You think I'll let you make a fool of me?

Damn it!

Come back.

Come back!

Vassilis, bring two buckets of water.

Come here.

- He found his own way back.

- Good animal, right?

Did you take a walk with the German?

Cheers!

Can I get something to eat here too?

Vassilis, the speciality of the house.

You'll like it.

How was your day, my friend?

Did you find everything?

Why not spare ourselves

this whole charade,

and you tell me straight out

that you have neither a power station

nor a hospital?

- Oh, Herr Kommissar!

- I'm not a Kommissar.

How nice to have you here with us.

What would we have done

without you Germans? Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

He won't hold out much longer!

He can hardly wait

to get back on his ferry.

Bon apptit!

- Don't worry, it's all organic.

- The eye is particularly tasty.

Go on.

My apologies, please.

We don't like it

when the Germans send their watchdogs.

Why are you whispering?

I have a little problem with the owner.

It's better she doesn't know I'm here.

It's not your fault.

You're just doing your job.

No, I love my job.

Panos!

Panos!

Panos! Open the door!

I know you're in there.

Open up or I'll kick the door in!

Is Daddy in there?

Stop calling that idiot "Daddy"!

What a great dad!

Leave my customers alone!

Do you understand?

You'll sorely regret

having set foot in my hotel!

Good evening.

Do you have a visitor?

- No.

- I'll give you some advice.

Stay away from that man.

Good night.

Cursed is the day I ever met you!

You bloody bastard!

If you think you can do us harm,

you can think again!

Understood? Leave us in peace

and go back to Germany!

If I catch you,

I'll beat you to a pulp!

I'll break all your bones,

you randy goat!

You dirty bastard!

- He's gone.

- Good.

Oh, it's cold!

Cold. Cold.

What's this? Get off me!

What's going on? Get off me!

What the hell are you doing there?

- You scared me to death!

- Sorry, I didn't mean to.

- All right, come in.

- Thanks.

What happened to your eye?

Can't you sleep?

Yes, I can.

I just went for a little walk.

You mean you were snooping around,

Herr Kommissar?

Very funny.

Seriously. Tomorrow I'm going

to the hospital. You can come along.

- Really?

- Or you could take the donkey.

No!

You wouldn't happen to have

sleeping pills, would you?

Sleeping pills?

This, and peace in your heart,

is the best sleep tonic.

And by the way,

thanks for hiding me.

Thanks for the salad.

Do you have a wife in Germany?

- I live alone.

- Bravo!

It's best for a man to live alone.

Let's drink to that.

Take Odysseus...

He knew exactly what to do

when the Sirens tempted him.

He tied himself to the mast of his ship

to remain a free man.

Here.

You know, around here

they call me "Kamaki".

The Harpoon.

Because I've loved them all.

I met women every summer.

Women from England, Australia,

Switzerland, Germany. Yeah!

Especially from Germany!

From Denmark, Sweden, England,

from France, from Switzerland!

- Luxembourg.

- Yes, exactly, from Luxembourg!

Come on.

From Finland.

Did I say Finland already?

Probably.

What kind of women make you happy?

My job makes me happy.

Wait a second.

This is beautiful!

Come on!

Drink up!

Come on, drink up!

Do you want to insult me?

All right, then.

Get off. You're not supposed

to lie down on the bed!

- Geissnef!

- Good morn...

Hello'?

Geissner, is that you?

Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Good morning, Pep!

- Sorry I'm late.

- Ah, my friend! Did you sleep well?

It was a fun night, wasn't it?

Don't you have any wall plugs?

Wall plugs are for Germans.

Greeks use nails.

The Great Odysseus.

- But you have to use a wall plug.

- Oh, come on. I don't use those things.

Let's drive to the hospital.

F*** it. Come on, let's go.

I don't ride motorcycles

out of principle.

Motorcycle or donkey?

What's going on now?

Vassili, yeah!

- That's going to be our artificial reef!

- Artificial reef?

But that was a good boat,

it could've still been used!

Yeah, but that's exactly

what we don't want anymore.

They're trawlers.

They scrape everything from the seabed.

Fish, mussels, coral, everything.

Then nothing else can grow.

But that's over now.

What we are planning here is called...

"gentle tourism".

Yeah!

Can you hold this for a second, my friend?

Two lovebirds!

What a catch!

You really caught something this time!

What are you doing there the whole time?

Just relax, man.

Look at that!

Beautiful, isn't it?

- Better than on a donkey, right?

- Yes.

What is it?

Can you get off?

- Why?

-It's broken.

What?

It'll only take half an hour.

It happens all the time.

Okay, half an hour is up!
