Miss Violence Page #2

The bell rings at 2 o'clock.

Be there at 1:
40.

At 2:
30 I'll call you at home.

Don't let me down.

Bravo.

You make sure

it's cut evenly.

Your father will call.

Go and play

in your room.

Open the door.

You're grounded.

At least let me use the phone.

Mom!

No.

Open up!

So now what? Are you going

to leave me here to die?

Put that down.

Yes.

We're right here.

I just didn't get to it in time.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

- How did it go?

- Okay.

- Everything all right?

- Yes. Yes.

Have the children

had their bath?

They're just about to.

In this house

we have nothing to hide.

It's bath time.

Let's go.

Ready.

Your turn, Phillippos.

Can I have one?

Here you are.

Give me another one.

Why are you here?

I'm here to see

my gynecologist.

With your husband?

No, with my father.

I think it's your turn.

Do you want me to come in too...

...to hold the door for you...

so no one else comes in.

Go ahead.

Eleni, come along.

Is everything all right,

doctor?

Everything's fine.

Your wife will have to

watch her blood sugar.

She's obviously given birth

before, so you know the drill.

I'm her father.

The baby's father abandoned us.

I'm sorry.

Why don't you go on the pill?

Welfare will judge you

about Angeliki.

They can take your

children away.

It's the mother who's responsible for

the child. That's what they'll say.

And you must

persuade them.

I will persuade them.

I swear I will!

- Did you open the door?

- No!

- Let's go play.

- Play? Tonight?

Yes, tonight.

Good morning. I'm sorry,

but I can't come into work today.

I realize that's a problem,

but it's the last day of school...

...and I must go and get

the children's report cards.

Their mother

is still sick.

I assure you I'll make it up.

But don't you understand?

It can't be avoided.

Please, sir.

Do you have a family?

Of course it's your prerogative.

I'm just saying...

Very well then. As you wish.

I won't come back to work.

Thank you very much.

Good day.

Grandpa, isn't Grandma

getting up?

Grandma's asleep. She's sick.

She's got migraines again.

The slightest noise

causes her pain.

That's why she has to stay

in her room with the door closed.

No one must

disturb her.

I have to go now.

You kids look after Grandma.

You're old enough now.

I want you to respect her

and help her around the house.

If it's our game that's

to blame, Grandpa

I won't ask her to pretend

to be a monkey again.

It's not your fault. Grandma's

had this problem for years.

Good morning.

Eleni wasn't feeling very well.

Is it okay that I came alone?

No problem.

How is she doing?

It's hard for her.

She doesn't want to see anyone.

You can tell her that

the kids' grades are excellent.

I'm glad.

Philippos' and Alkmini's.

It's very important to us.

I'm amazed they've remained

unaffected by the accident.

Only Philippos has become

a little more unruly.

What do you mean?

He's caused some problems in class.

He can be aggressive at times.

Aggresive?

Yes.

But not to worry.

It's only natural

after what happened.

I'm surprised.

He's very quiet at home.

But I promise you

I'll have a chat with him about it.

Come over here.

Do you see what you accomplish

when you're good kids?

If you keep listening to me

you'll always get perfect grades.

But let's see how you do next year,

when school will be harder.

Because it seems to me you don't

always listen to what I say

...and that makes me

very sad.

I'm not done yet.

Go to your places.

Not you, Philippos.

So are you're a tough guy, eh?

Not so talkative now, are we?

Alkmini,

come over here.

Slap him!

Don't feel sorry for him.

Do you like it?

What kind of a man are you,

that you let girls hit you?

I want to talk to you.

You'll spend all day

on the sofa.

The table

is only for family.

In the afternoon

we're going to the beach.

Thank you,

Grandpa.

But first

you'll clean the house.

Take your mother

her lunch.

I kept calling you but

you didn't pick up.

I wanted to see

if you were okay.

You know me.

I don't like to talk.

It was tough for me

at home.

I have a problem.

I need your help.

There are no secrets between us.

Speak freely.

Eleni is pregnant.

Again?

She wants to keep it

But again she won't say

who the father is.

I'm afraid we'll get into

trouble with Welfare.

I thought maybe you could help.

- How?

- You only need to sign your name.

Here's your coffee.

I'll go get the cookies.

- It's not easy, you know.

- I can give you a little money.

I'll never cause you any trouble.

Rest assured.

I never doubted it.

You know there's nothing

to worry about.

And you'll have whatever

you want from me.

I'm a man of my word.

There's plenty of time,

isn't there?

Yes, yes,

sure.

Can I go out

for a bit?

Where to?

My friend.

- Go ahead.

- Will you give me 5 euros?

What do you want the money for?

You're just going to your friend.

Nothing.

We're going to the beach.

Don't you want to come along?

I got my period.

Really?

When?

Just now.

Grandpa!

Will you take us to the beach?

It's too late now.

But you promised.

Tomorrow. When you have

your new bathing suits.

Don't open it.

Tomorrow, at the beach.

Come with me.

Mom Grandpa said

he'd buy me a new dress

for doing well in school.

We will buy it together with your

Mom. Say thank you to Mommy.

Thank you, Mommy.

Off to bed now. Let's go.

Get ready.

I don't want us to be late.

Filippo.

If I see you with him again

don't bother coming home again.

- Hello there.

- Good evening.

She's beginning to show.

Let's have a drink.

Thank you.

Here you go.

Come on Eleni,

dance.

Yes, yes.

Let me do it.

Never mind.

I apologize.

We'd better go.

There's no need.

Now.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

For the kids.

Next time

we'll have more fun.

Why aren't you

asleep?

- I lied to him. I didn't

- I don't want to know...

You never want

to know anything.

Do you know what they're saying

about Angeliki at school?

Do you see this?

This?

So be quiet.

That's also your fault.

It's all your fault!

You drank

one of his beers.

You'll say you drank it.

Grandpa,

aren't we going shopping?

In a little while, Alkmini.

Be careful.

Don't get your clothes dirty..

- Good morning.

- Welcome.

Good morning..

We were here twice before,

but no one came to the door

We were probably out.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- What's your name?

- Alkmini.

- And yours?

- Philippos.

- Please fill this out.

- Certainly.

Through there are

the kids' rooms.

Where did Angeliki sleep?

In the other room.

She slept here.

With my youngest daughter, Myrto.

Who is... fourteen years old.

Where is she now?

At school. Unfortunately, she

couldn't be here. She has exams.

- Angeliki's things?

- I've put them away.

I didn't want the kids

to have to look at them.

It was too upsetting.

Please, sit down.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Are you done?
